I have one small tattoo on my upper right arm. It's my younger brother's birthday. He and I are very close and he was always my right hand man as children, hence why it's on my right arm. Unfortunately it's almost always covered by a shirt sleeve so I don't have a lot of pictures of it. My mother HATES it. She calls it my "Nazi Numbers". After I had it done she didn't speak to me for a week (not that that's a bad thing... she is very opinionated, close minded and there is no arguing with her about anything EVER) She always told me I'd be kicked out of the house if I got a tattoo... so the day after my high school graduation I got this done. I've now had it for 5 years and I'm still living at home being the poor college kid that I am. I'm afraid to get another one and chance it again. My father saw it an hour after it was done asked me "what's that black spot on your arm?" I showed it to him and he goes "You know I don't mind tattoos and at least you were smart about it and it's in a spot that can be covered if need be. Don't show your mother."

This is from my best friend's wedding last February and shows just how tiny it really is. Of course my boyfriend and I aren't making very, erm, nice faces. Yes, that's gum hanging from his mouth.
I would love to have more tattoos. This time something bigger, but still able to be covered if I need it. My mother has a very religious family (she herself isn't religious, but she does show the same tendencies as her family members) so I'd need to be able to cover it. I do love my family, especially my older relatives and wouldn't wish to 'offend' them.
I have this strong desire to have "Der Wahnsinn ist nur eine schmale Brücke. Die Ufer sind Vernunft und Trieb" (Insanity is only a narrow bridge. The banks are reason and desire.) tattooed across my back. It's from a Rammstein song. I can understand spoken German and read German. If you ask me to speak and form coherent sentences I'm stuck. I have no clue why I struggle to speak the language. But, anyways, I like the lyric because I feel as though it applies to everybody. I'd also like to have a black cat tattooed somewhere on me. I've always had a black cat in my life. Currently I've got two. As a child I had 2 who were sisters. They were Pixie and Dixie. Now I have Mister Finck (Fincky) and Incubus (Inky... no, not after the band) Pixie, Dixie, Fincky, Inky. I think I've got issues.
If I could find the perfect artist to do a tattoo of Inky wearing his hat and scarf I totally would show it off with pride. Look at that face. It's a classic! He takes the best pictures.
