Tattoos.

I assume you can gather from the title that this post will be about tattoos, but more specifically it will be about the tattoos I want to get in the future...or at least the ones I have planned thus far.

The finger tattoos can come first. Also they're probably the only "original" tattoo idea I have thus far.
Euphoria. because it goes along with my always wanting to be happy theme.
Things which have meaning to me, left to right.
257 (favorite number), eject symbol, clover, skull, hearts, rain cloud, lightening bolt, peace sign.

I also want a sugar skull of some kind. This one is a stock image I found somewhere and it's the boy "half" of the set. The girly sugarskulls are just that, way to girly for me. I like the roses and the spiderweb thing on the forehead. I like that there are not hearts all over it, and I like that the eyes are kind of star like. As far as color goes, I'd like the roses to be a deep burgundy with either dark purple or blue spots and edges. But idk if I want to make the skull white or have it be a color...and I don't know about the designs on the face either. There's another design that I like as well, but since someone already has that tattoo, I don't want to copy it exactly, but I do think it is beautiful and obviously much more human than this <<< example.

 Wings are probably one of the most overdone tattoos in the history of forever. Wings, feathers and roses are crazy overdone. At first, I wanted little wings on my shoulder blades, but then I remembered that I would never get a back tattoo because I would not be able to see it save for looking in the mirror and I feel that is a waste. So then I thought maybe i'd get them on the tops of my arms. . .but i figured that would just look stupid and I'd rather save that space for the off chance that I decide to sleeve my arms.
And then I saw this picture of a girl standing on her tiptoes and she had wings tattooed on her ankles..and it clicked and that was it. Her wings were smaller and more delicate, and that's fine. I think these wings suit me much better to be honest. And they're pretty.

Do you love my shopped version of this? Haha, I took the other picture and used that because there aren't very many good stock photos of arms. When I first wanted this tattoo I wanted it down my left forearm, starting at the crease of my elbow and going to my wrist...but that made it huge and big and unnecessary. Ever since Mrs. King's class and reading the Hollow Men, it's been my most favoritest poem, and this is my favorite set from the final stanza of the poem.
This, in all likelihood will probably be the first tattoo I get so I can measure my pain tolerance because if I'm a big baby I don't want to sit through hours of octopus shading and coloring. . . as well as it will be totally completed when I walk out of whatever shop I go to when I get it. I think that's an important thing.

Koi fish. Please excuse the terribly edited job i did. I wanted to make them the proper colors to better portray the idea. Originally I wanted the koi tattooed behind my ear, fairly small...but then I got to thinking that I want them to be pretty detailed and how I didn't think that was fair to an artist to make such beautiful fish be so small...so I went bigger, probably too big. Eventually, when I get down to the size I want to be, I want to get them tattooed on my right hip, pretty big...like basketball size big.

Rainbow stars. I feel this idea is a little silly now, but it's still something I want. Tori drew this for me when I told her about it being one of the first tattoos I wanted. After this was done, I saw a high influx of people with star tattoos and then I had this whole battle with myself over if it was still a valid tattoo idea for me. I love stars, and I love rainbows, so I guess it's still valid. Though I'd probably move it over to my left leg because I want my octopus on my right leg.

 The octopus. I really want this to be my first tattoo..but the size of it is a little scary for never having a tattoo done before, I freak out and worry that it will hurt way to fucking much. But all that aside, this is the best representation of the kind of tattoo I want that I could find. I don't want the anchor in there though. I do want the tattoo to wrap around my whole calf/lower leg. But I want the octopus to be orange, yellow and red with hints of purple because I really like that color combination.

 Tattoo on the right inspired by the quote on the left. It's something I aspire to live by. And I absolutely love the tattoo. I would probably want a different bird though, just so the tattoo wasn't an exact copy because that my friends is super lame and I wouldn't want to be super lame.

This is the other type of sugar skull I would consider. The color of her hair is what drew me in, but I love love love the way she looks.

The giraffe to go behind my ear. I want him to be super tiny and cute. And I've had this odd obsession with giraffes for a while now, so I figured why not. So I went and I looked up the different things that giraffes represent to different cultures and the best one, in my opinion, was balance. It's something I need in my life, it's something I should work harder to maintain, and even if he is behind my ear, and I'll hardly ever see him, it'd be a good reminder to me.

I also want a Harry Potter themed tattoo... but I haven't decided if I want the stars (pictured right) or if I want the Hallows symbol...or what exactly. I'm leaning towards picking a spell from the series that I really like and then getting the stars at the end of the word. Either that or getting two sets of stars, one on each knee - on the outer knee. I don't have that one totally down pat, but I'm thinking about it at least.

Possibly my most favorite lyric ever, which is saying something because I've been listening to music my whole life and Mumford and Sons for maybe 6 months. It's so much of what I want out of life, it's what I want love to be, it's how I see and feel love. It also provokes that whole "I've been scorned/burned but I still want to love" feeling that I am so attached to.

This << is the first tattoo I ever wanted. I wanted it to show my love of The Used and show what a dedicated fan I was by having their name inked on my body. Mostly though, I've grown out of that. If I do get it, I think I'd feel guilty and need to get band tattoos for all the other bands I've loved for years.

There are more but this is a majority of the ones I label as "more important" than the rest.
