Are you inked yourself? I have 2, one behind my left ear and one on my lower back. The ear is a talisman for strength and the lower back is a symbol of how and why I live. They are not visible unless I want you to see them, but I am very proud of them.
I don't have any tattoos at the moment, but I plan to get a tattoo of my children's footprints if and when I have kids. I'm the type of person who believes your tattoos should have meaning, but I'm not creative enough so that's the only idea I have.
That is an awesome ink idea. I want more ink, but at my age - 45 - it's hard to find places where the skin doesn't sag or wrinkle. LOL I think ink should have meaning too. Frivolous tattoos kinda piss me off. Like the "I was drunk" tattoos. You are so much more likely to regret them. I'll die still proud of mine. I have a triquatra on my lower back. I designed it myself, so it's a one of a kind. The artist even gave me the paper he used to transfer the design to my skin.
I've read this manga more than ten times because it's so happy and sweet.........and also cause I have a thing for tattoos.
