Re: the tattoo....
I have three (so far) & I just wanted to add that the best tattoo you can get is one that is special drawn - that way it won't be something that any or everybody will have.
This is my last one - pic is a bit small, but....
It was special drawn for me and my best friend (mine is on my right upper arm & her's is on her right shoulder blade). We are sun lovers, and we love to hit the beach together - so it had to be a sun. The sun is "female" because we are girly-girls... meaning we love to buy shoes & jewelry & wear make-up & do our hair & get pedi's & mani's.... We wink at each other all the time for no good reason! - so we had her drawn winking. And the chinese symbols beneath the sun mean "eternal friend".
...so what I'm saying is... get something that MEANS SOMETHING to you.
