I thought well and hard for four years about what I wanted my tattoo to be, I had designed it and fine tuned it and grew to love it so much that I had to have it tattoo'd on me.
Yes it means something, yes it honours someone, does that mean I need a tattoo to remember someone important in my life? No! But to me, having it is special, I don't even remember I have it on me most of the time as its on my ribs just below my armpit, but that tattoo is for me, not for people to look at and gawk, but for me.
If Im on the beach then people can see it, but most of the time they think its just henna art and not permanent so I don't get the attention. My motives for my tattoo are special and just for me.
