Ink Me Up

Tattoos are getting more and more popular and well, I am hooked. I love them. They are beautiful tokens to carry with you for the rest of your life. They cannot be lost or stolen. They are yours to keep forever. Planning and choosing your tattoos is half the fun. These are the tattoos I want;

1) The Skeletons - I want these skeletons because, well I love skeletons! I love how they are so Gothic and jazzy. I wouldn't however get them on my fingers but maybe across my lower back or maybe just one on my inner, upper arm. There is no deep meaning behind these skeletons for me, I just love the way they look!

2) The Anchor - I love all things nautical. I loved my childhood holidays in Devon and Cornwall, day trips to Hastings and Brighton. Being by the sea is one of the most magical and precious things to me. This anchor just brings my memories of hazy summer evenings on the beach, ice creams, Salcombe high street, my fascination with fantasy underwater creatures all together in one little tattoo which I will probably place on my side thy.

3) Born This Way Unicorn - It's not secret. I love Lady Gaga. I want this tattoo, not so much as a fan tattoo but for its message. "Born this way" is an album, a song and a message that helped me through some difficult stages through school, and I hope it helps me through difficult stages still to come. So I want this tattoo to remind myself of my strength everyday.

4) An OM Symbol - My Mother grew up in India, so we have loads of Indian and Pakistani stuff dotted around our house like bookends in the shape of a small Indian man with ear stretchers carved out of wood ( I know right - So Hipster), A little Ganesh wall placement, Indian bells and just generally Indian looking nick nacks lying around the place. I want to get this symbol to remind me of my mother and her stories of India and also my interest in mediation and things like that.

5) An Alien Head - Because aliens are awesome.
