In a month I'm going to get my tatoo/s, one is most definatly gonna be my middle name (Tadashi) written in it's japanese characters then on my chest will most likely get some japanese proverb, I'd have to find one that relates to me or what I beleive in

stars are overused, but it is cool non the less

personally, the chinese character i got on my chest was for me and no one else. i am not gonna front and be walking around town with no shirt on saying "hey look at my tattoo(s)!!!" yeah this is my first tattoo and will probably get more. but its something that has meaning to me. there are some people who get tattoos to show off and whatnot but a majority of the people get them for themselves which is the only way to go. what it all comes down to is if the person getting the tattoo is happy. i researched for about a month on this small tattoo. was so glad when i finally found what i wanted. mine is more of a literary term and is not widely used. and that is what i wanted...something not normally seen

by the way, i am asian . but not chinese, i am filipino...actually i think filipinos are now called "pacific islanders" but i am not anal. so i say asian....

people getting tattoos, what are your next ideas for tattoo(s)? i absolutely love gorillas. at times they can be powerful and intimidating but i feel that they also have a compassionate and caring side to them. and thats kind of how i feel about myself. so i want to get a gorilla's head on the back of my right shoulder. i wish i was a really good artist. i have the picture of what i want in my head but i cant really describe it to any one for them to draw it for me. but hopefully i will have it what i want in a couple of months. i cant wait. my poor car probably wont be getting anymore mods after my friend puts in a subwoofer and amp. hahaha. sorry for the long read....
