Tattoo?

I want a tattoo. Actually I want two. I already know what I want so now comes the question of when. I want to get the Roman Numerals for thirteen on my right calf muscle. I already have the exact design and size done up so now it is just merely going to the parlour and getting it done. But why thirteen? Well, first off, my Mother was born on the 13th, I consider it one of my lucky numbers, and finally if you break the number into one and three, well, I am the first of three boys, so it is an appropriate number, and not one pulled out of my ass like...23 which has no meaning whatsoever to me. The other one that I want is the Chinese Zodiac symbol for the Year of the Tiger, as well, I was born in the year of the tiger (And as Dianna pointed out being a tiger certainly beats being an Ox...lol) So for both tattoo's, i would be shelling out a max of $250. I know I want both, I still have to decide where I want the Zodiac sign to go though, perhaps on my lower left back, towards the arse. Oh, and I am still working up towards getting my piercings done...I just need to find the time, and the time when I have money at my disposal. Heh, who knows. But why the tattoos and piercings? Well, I feel that they add another dimension to who I am. I think they are one way of physically manifesting who I am on my body. I am not going to go hardcore and get a zillion piercings and tattoos as that is not who I am. I just want to stay on the low to moderate side of things. After I get this last round of piercings done, I am sure that I will be done with piercings for good. However with the tattoos, I would have to see how things go after my first one, or two. But I doubt I would want more, I am cautious about things that will be with me for the rest of my life. At least with piercings they can come out, but with tattoos, well, they are permanent to say the least. Hence another reason why they are going in places that are easy to cover up. But yeah, if I really wanted to be a trend whore (not that I already am or anything, lol) I would have already had my piercings and tattoos done, but I want to make sure they are things I can and would like to live with for the rest of my life. But yeah, my mind is made up, I don't need the rent's permission as I am 19 and it is my body. So, here is to getting my tattoos and piercings. Perhaps the first round will start this friday. Who knows?! Anyways, ciao all.

And HAPPY STAMPEDE! YAHOOOO!
