Tattoo thoughts...

I've been entertaining thoughts of getting a tattoo recently. Again. The last time was a few months ago; I think maybe nov, dec and jan. It was actually a colleague who got me interested when she showed me her new tattoo. We had planned to get one together but the plan just never took off.

Anyway, what triggered my latest mania? Hmmm...I'm not quite sure... Oh yeah, the other day, I was at Mid Valley and I saw someone who had a fresh tattoo on his arm! Yup, i think it was that, which triggered my sudden interest. An interest short of an obsession, i must say! I am thinking of getting either a moon angel with an inscription that says: love, peace and joy in sanskrit or two dolphins around the yin and yang symbol

I'm still trying to see the pros and cons of getting the tattoo:

PRO: It looks good
CON: It becomes not so nice when you're older

PRO: It's pretty cool
CON: It may stretch and sag later on

PRO: It's the IN thing now
CON: May not be the in thing when you're an old crone

PRO: It contains meaningful message
CON: The needle may be infected...(god, what an awful thought!)

PRO: You can show off to friends
CON: If it turns out ugly, you'll have to live with it forever!

PRO: But, it looks goooood!
CON: Is that the only argument you can make?

PRO: It's pretty?
CON: I give up! You're delusional, obsessive and compulsive. And...You're not
thinking rationally.

PRO: I am too! Thinking rationally, that is.
CON: Yeah? Why do you want a tattoo?

PRO: (uncertain)...It looks good?
CON: I rest my case.


Hmmm...I think I'll just...see where the wind takes me. If I am meant to have a tattoo, the wind will take me there. As it always has.

Here are some tattoo ideas:
