Write My Memoirs Across My Heart

I've been thinking about getting more tattoos a lot recently, but I haven't been able to figure out exactly what I want. I won't get anything until I find something that I really like, enough that I want to look at it for the rest of my life. I've been looking for inspiration on fuckyeahtattoos and I've seen loads of really great things.

Some ones:








This one reminded me of Hattie.


If I get something big, it will probably be on my ribs. The idea that sounds best to me right now (inspired by the above, obv.) is an as yet undetermined number (one?) (maybe two to make it symmetrical?) of arrows. They might be on my wrists, but since I already have my fleur de lys there... I was thinking maybe straight down from my elbows towards my wrists (on the back or the front?) Maybe on the backs of my arms pointing towards my elbows? The whole thing about arrows is that my mom was Michigan state champeen in women's archery and her father owned an archery shop in Detroit.

What do you guys think?

  1. I don't like that "this too shall pass" one... But I DO like that twinkly star one and the squirrel one and the swirly back one! I'm not sure if down from your elbow would be good placement for that. If you put it on thee front side it'll distort every time you twist your wrist and on the back would look funny. Tramp stamp it! jk... idunno

  2. i like the star one too, but i don't think i would get it on my thigh. maybe on my ribs? i don't think the back would look funny. it would be a much bigger arrow than in the picture. it would be like almost the entire length of my arm...
