So my first blog....ever!

I could talk about all sorts of random shit, from what goes on at work to how the weather is but for the first attempt I'll keep it simple.............Tattoo's

I've always liked tattoo's, I think it makes a statement about the person wearing it. There always seems to be a bit of a stigma with persons who don a tattoo, which to me is a load of old crock.

I love the bold colours and the different pictures/designs that people choose and the fact that most people choose a tattoo the means something to them. But where do you start when deciding what you want done. Where do you gather the inspiration from. You want something original, that no-one else has, nor will ever get, but where does this some from. This is the trouble I'm having at the moment.

Although in my job it is now accepted to have tattoos, albeit they must be 'normal' (make of that what you will) I want something bold and beautiful that will stand out and reflect my personality. What should I choose?

The second hurdle is where it should be placed. I normally wear short sleeved shirts which come up just above the elbow, so a full sleeve tattoo is out of the question although I'd love one. Do I go for a half sleeve, or confine all of my art to underneath my shirt, around the chest area. Or even my thighs?

I suppose it all depends on what it is that I'm aiming for, that will determine where on my body it will adorn.

I'm into the Oriental aspect of tattoos like Koi Carp and Geisha girls, but on the other hand I like the Tiki Masks and the Inca's.

So I'm stuck at the moment and need a kick in the right direction. Any help and advice is welcomed.

All the best, Lavz
