I've finally decided upon my tattoo idea.
To begin with, I was just going to get my favourite lyrics tattooed on my hip, but now I've gone from one extreme to another and I'm going to start work on my half sleeve.
The first element of this is going to be a memorial tattoo for my Grandparents, as they were two of the most important people in my life growing up, and without them I don't actually know how my Mum and I would have survived.
My Grandma's favourite flower was a white lily, and my Grandad's was a yellow daffodil, so I have decided I want one of each on the inside of my arm. Their stems are going to be woven around each other, and I'd like it to look as if both flowers are growing from the same seed. I'm also going to have my favourite lyrics curling around my wrist.
I don't know what else is going to be going on my sleeve, I know it's going to be incredibly painful and will severely limit me where job opportunities and long dresses are concerned, but if it's something that I like I don't see why I shouldn't get it.
At the end of the day it'll be when I'm 18, and if I regret it then I regret it, but somehow I don't see myself regretting my Grandparents.

ReplyDeleteIt means so much to me in so many different ways :)

Sounds like a really cool idea!
ReplyDeleteJust to warn you though, people will think of you differently if you get a sleeve tattoo then if you get, say, a rib or wrist tattoo.
Something about the sleeve scares some people.
But that's definitely not to say you shouldn't get it, if you've got your heart set on it in that spot then that's what you should do.
Love your blog, following!
I know what you mean about regret. I just got a tattoo of song lyrics two nights ago, and my mom got a different line of lyrics from the same song. People kept, and still keep, asking me if I regret it, or if I think I will. I won't, without a doubt.
ReplyDeleteAww thank you Alice! It's nice to know people are enjoying the blog :)
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean when you say about people being scared of sleeve tattoos. My parents hate my boyfriend because he has both his arms completely covered. It sucks, I don't think many people seem to properly understand the beauty and expression behind them.
I want to get a chest piece done as well but I'm not sure what of yet :p
