2 Months Down; 10 More To Go

Since the age of young teenage hood, I've had an ongoing love affair with tattoos.
For awhile, I actually wanted to be the next Kat Von D. That was, until I realized I couldn't draw to save my life and that's a rather important part of being a tattoo artist.
Who knew?!

Although I have since abandoned my dreams of being a tattoo artist, I still can't wait for the day when my body turns into a canvas for someone who does have actual drawing skills.

Over the years, I've been planning out tattoos I want to get someday so, please believe me when I say absolutely none of these are "spur of the moment" ideas.

I have yet to decide on my first tattoo but I do believe it might be this on my left arm. I don't want to call the position my shoulder because then that sounds like I want it on my back but I want it at the top of my arm near my shoulder. Haha!


& this is speaks for itself. I am Buddhist. So I want my Buddha with me all the time. This will go on my left forearm on the inside and facing me. Hopefully he'll be a good reminder to "stay calm and remember to breathe" in everyday situations.


I got this idea from a girl I saw in Ohio last summer. She had a little Ohio on the side of her neck. I plan to travel a lot when I'm a bit older & this is going on the back of my right shoulder as kind of "Blairsville is always in my past" sorta deal. Since here holds all my roots.


One I can't promise that I'll ever be able to actually get is also one I can't get a picture of.
I'm saving the inside of right forearm for the day of my wedding. I want to steal lyrics from my favorite band: "Perfect exists, but only on a day like this" with my wedding date below. It'll be in really pretty script writing and have that whole elegant feel to it! That's what I picture anyway

This. Well, I don't know where this one would go yet or if I'm even 100% certain on it. I know I want a Peter Pan inspired tattoo somewhere though.


For now, my last long-term planned out one is this. I saw it on a fellow blogger's page and I absolutely adore it! I love foxes and this would just be an awesome piece of artwork to have. I want this on my left side starting on my hip and going up to like mid-ribcage.


I can't believe that I'll be 18 in 10 months. I'm not rushing things or anything but I am pretty darn excited to see what "adulthood" has in store for me.
