so for my first tattoo...

I never was fond of those.

i actually think i'm gonna get a phoenix, kaz linked a cool picture to me that i think would go on the back of one of my shoulders or something, i also really want to put it on my foot instead but that'd be more painful... but phoenix's represent strength, resilience, overcoming adversity, renewal and rebirth, courage, immortality, grace, virtue, duty, goodness, kindness, and reliability. now i just need to go to a tattoo place and figure out how much it'd cost lol.

I never was fond of those.

Too many people have them, I think they look cool, but they are defiantely overused with people these days..

So is Kanji, imo.

yeah i won't get any type of foreign language tattoos because it could end up meaning something else in the same language or something weird or gross in another language >.<

Or you could always do your research.

There are a lot of factors that make kanji tattoos attractive, which I guess is why they're pretty common.

well i never said i hafta get just one tattoo lol, but its mostly what i can afford :P

i found a few phoenix pictures that i like, and one from kaz:

I vote number two. The other ones all look wierd.

Or you could just not get a tattoo

lol why are you so against tattoos wallow? and depending on how much money i have, it probably won't be that big. the bigger, the more expensive, obviously. i may not even get color, at least not right away. i'll probably have to wait until i'm living on my own, i'll have more money then, even though i'll be alone lol, sounds kind of ironic.
