Tattoo #4

July 6, 2006 on 8:05 pm | In Life In General | 1 Comment

My husband has decided that for our pseudo-anniversary in October, we should both get tattoos.  He has one already, and I have three.  My current tattoos are a small celtic cross on my ankle, the alchemy symbol for purification by fire on my wrist, and some thistles on my upper arm.

I’m planning a few more tattoos.  I was originally going to get something on my right leg, since I have tattoos on both arms and my left leg.  But there’s also a scar on my left forearm (the arm with the thistles) that I’d like to cover.  It’s right up near the elbow and it is shaped like this:

I would like to use the shape of the scar in the design of the tattoo.  Originally I planned to put a little fish over the scar.  And I still might do that.  But I’ve been kicking around some other ideas relating to the shape of the scar.  Here are a few ideas I’ve had:

• a flower
• a brazil nut
• a penguin
• lips
• corn on the cob
• a fat butterfly
• Mr. Hanky (the Christmas poo)
• a slug
• a lizard
• a banana
• a lava lamp

If you have any other ideas for my scar, post them in the comments thingy.  (You’ll have to register to use the comments, but it’s a registration thing that’ll carry over to a lot of other blogs, so it’s good.)
