Now I'm curious jacob, what was it? And what is the design you want now? (If you feel comfortable sharing either of those)

I hope you find a good artist at watercolour tattoos. They're quite hard and I've heard of people having dropout issues with them.

I want a sailor moon inspired tattoo.. dunno what or where.

Hahaha, yeah, I know :D But the descriptions are already satisfying my curiosity, I think :)

That sounds like a really beautiful motif, and with that kind of meaning one would hope you'll continue liking it :)

River, do you already have tattoos? (Sorry if I missed it earlier in the conversation)

Oh jacob this sounds beautiful I can totally imagine that right in my head. As if you painted a picture :o
So lovely. Both the turtle and the ship. And the message. Messages are so important to me. Thanks for sharing jacob <3

Right now I like watercolour, it looks so pretty, but as it is very popular at the moment I don't want to get one yet. I have an idea what I want though. If I stick with it.

Chrizine, I have a peace sign and a four-leaf clover.
They both have very different messages, also linked to past events. Similar to jacob, I want to remind myself of something with them.
In short, the peace sign is linked to being bullied at school and I want to remind myself that people are just humans and humans are never flawless so that I do not want to judge people on their actions in the past, it only matters how they are right now.
And the clover luck, belief, confidence, coincidence, power ... in a nutshell :D

no tattoos yet.

I'm just in a body mod group on fb.

Yea I agree, it's no good having a tattoo without a meaning.. At least that's my opinion.

Awesome! Indeed, sounds like a good excuse for a holiday :P

Julez, these sound like beautiful meanings, too :)

I definitely agree with you guys, if I'd ever get one it'd need to have a deep personal meaning to me, otherwise I think I'd be pretty likely to stop liking it at some point. Apart from not wanting to have any meaningless marks on my skin in the first place, that is ;)

jacob, sounds great that you already have an artist that you feel would be right for you :) And combining it with holidays sure sounds like a nice idea!

Most people I know with tattoos, a lot of them don't have 'meaning' it's just that they like the design of the tattoos.
