Question for those of you who are tattoo'd

[CFH]

Sounds interesting


My birthday is 2 weeks from today deciding if I want a tattoo right away or not.

I have several. I quite like them, and I love the process of getting tattooed, but I'm a bit strange.

I like all the tattoo TV shows but how much of a groupie would I be if i let that determine if I want one or not? I go on BMEink.com a lot just to look around, I like something every other day. My brother has both his arms almost completely covered but I don't think my first would be on my arm.

What are yours? if you don't mind sharing

I have 4. I have a design representing loyalty on my left forearm near the elbow that will soon have a portrait of one of my moms dogs beneath it. It was my first tat, my mom got it for me as a gift after a somewhat drunken discussion we had one night.
I have a giant abstractish devil/evil creature on my back, it was a drawing that my friend did that I loved. I'm thinking of getting it covered up because it not really representative of myself any more. I talked the guy who did my tat today and he thinks he could cover it up with a mask or the face of an animal like a lion.
On the outside of my right calf I have a picture taken from a book on WW2, it's a picture from one of the many shell-torn landing beaches. A soldier equipment (A grenade, a box of ammo) and the debris of war are scattered around and there is a make-shift "rifle-cross" grave where a soldier has died.
The one I just got on my right inside forearm is one of the Nazca lines drawings. It's representative of both my mom (and a few specific memories related to her passing) and of archaeology, which, as a component of anthropology, is one of the two degrees I'm persuing. As well, it is of a bird that had great spiritual significance for indigenous peoples throughout the Western Hemisphere.
