Tattoo Idea

This is probably the closest I've come to actually envisioning what I'd want for a tattoo. That's because I finally found a really cool place for one. Saturday night, the opening artist, had a tattoo on her wrist, not the inside of her wrist, the outside. It was where a watch would normally sit, which is good, just in case a situation calls for it to be covered up. Long sleeves would do the trick too. But the tattoo was small, and real classy looking to my eyes. My first idea for a tattoo was the Chinese character for 'dream'.




It's small and simple. I've always associated with this symbol, I even have it hanging on the wall in my office, but something didn't sit quite right. Then it came to me:

I am a dreamer.



THIS is what I want tattooed on my body. I really, really want it now. Time to make it happen.

Shop very carefully for your artist. Go to reputable shops and look at portfolios. Ask people with tats you like who did them. That's every bit as important as the design you choose, even for something as relatively simple as you've chosen. Trust me on that.

I am in 100% agreement with Kali. The artist is important. A lot of tattoo artists "trace" which is usually fine, but I tend to like artists that can draw freehand and draw a lot of their own original tattoos. I mean, you want someone who is an artist.

BTW, I really like that location - which wrist would you get it on?

AJ had a tattoo there, on his left wrist I think, right where a watch would go, and it had a circular shape almost like a watch face.
