lathrielomg I'm just salivating over all these new tattoo ideas:
text
-"Tell them stories..." either backwards or upside down. It makes sense, cause I'm not telling anyone to tell stories, I'm being told, so it really only matters if I can read it or not.
-"Ghost" in runes- if I ever get Midnight Estates published, cause that's what Tristan gets tattooed in the right side of his abs, for an entirely different reason than what I have
-"There is a word for each leaf, and each wall, and there is a word for nothing." But I think I want to get this as hidden text inside of my dragon tree tattoo which will come up under my crows.
etc
-the rune "jera" which means harvest, among other things
-aforementioned dragon tree
-quill over my heart, mos' definitely
-snowflakes, to represent ;p
-a five-petal lotus tramp-stamp, when I start publishing my Lotus Children books (Renaissance)
-really vague, but something on my left thigh. I'm thinking peacock (sacred to Sarasvati), or maybe Sarasvati herself. Maybe something else- I dunno. I have a lifetime to figure it out.
Also, white-ink tattoos are so cool... I might get the quill in white, or I might get the snowflakes in white. I am seriously considering white "accents" around my body, too. So many decisions!
It's funny, cause I always loved tattoos, but I had some weird idea that I should care what people think about me if I have a tattoo, i.e. guys don't like girls with tattoos, or people will think you're immature or stupid, blah blah blah. I plan on having most of my tattoos easily hidden, not just for "professional" reasons but because I don't get tattoos to show them to people (though, admittedly, it's fun when you first get one to show it around). I get them for myself. I can't even fully explain the reasons behind my crows to most people because they just will not get it unless they really know me. ("you can't judge me, you don't know what I been thru")
For new year's day, i will probably stick with "Storyteller" in Sanskrit on my back, over my heart- my best friend is probably getting "storyteller" in another form that day- it will be such a squee-ishly bonding experience! If I decided to get "tell them stories" I have to get that while I'm in Oxford- most of HDM takes place there, and Philip Pullman lives there, so. Yeah.
Fun times!
