I like tattoos and piercings.

Like, a lot.

But you know what prevents me from getting even more piercings and my first tattoo?

1) Fear of my mother seeing it and me facing her wrath. (Oh dear.)

2) Fear of not getting a job.

I mean, sure, I could get a tattoo that was easy to hide, but then what would be the point of that? Nothing, I say. Nothing. And there IS a way to make a lot of holes in my ears look classy...ok, maybe not.

I have two tattoo ideas. One of them is something I've been thinking of for

about half a year now, and it's two koi fish (one black with a white spot, one white with a black spot) swimming around each other in a circle to form the Yin Yang symbol. Something like this:

Or like this:

I kind of want it to be small and go on my wrist. But that would be SUPER HARD to hide. Ugh.

My other tattoo that I have in mind has a lot more meaning. Before I actually lived in Brazil, my mom and I visited there each summer three summers prior; every time we visited, I would always get a henna tattoo of this kind of stenciled panther. It looked really cool, and I got the same one every year, in the same spot on my right upper shoulder. So what I wanted to do was get the real thing, either in the same spot, or perhaps on a shoulder blade. And in the eye of the panther I would have the Brazilian flag reflected in it.

As for piercings, I just really want my nose pierced, but fear that it wouldn't look right on me.

-sigh- Decisions decisions.
