If you could have any tattoo, what would it be?

No matter the price, the pain, the area, what tattoo would you get? And what would the meaning behind it be?

a butterfly. i’m not sure why, after my last suicide attempt i started to really appreciate the beauty of them. they almost remind me of growth, that things change and although things are bad right now, with a lot of effort and work you can turn them into something beautiful. life can be pretty if you wait for it to be, i need to be patient, life won’t get better overnight.

thats beautiful, I wholeheartedly support this idea n the meaning behind it, this same reasoning is why I'd like to get nature related tattoos, sometimes it's hard to remember the beauty in the world when what you're going through is so negative and ugly
I'd want to get a big, sprawling, flourishing, verdant willow tree on my back.

I don't think I'll actually get any tattoos though.

thank you so much <3 that makes me happy. and you’re completely right. i want to be reminded of how beautiful life can be during bad times.
i would get 12 green gems tattooed across my forehead :h:
I have a swallow tattooed on my shoulder, and a cherub above my ankle.
Something really simple but meaningful :smile:

I want either a white Tara or a seated Buddha backpiece
I've 14 tattoos. My favourite is a nude pin-up sat on a rose.

I really want to get a bat tattooed on my sternum. The intimacy is the biggest factor rather than cost/pain.

Lots of reasons, but mainly cos they look great, and because Buddhism is my bag

This is probably a basic ***** answer but a Capricorn constellation on either my collarbone or upper right back.

Not that that’s ever going to happen because I cry like a baby when it comes to needles and pain.

hey that's still cute n who knows, maybe one day you'll surprise yourself, or maybe you'll reach the ripe old age of 74 and decide it's time for a tattoo, who knows

Can I ask why you have so many? And are they of memorable things to you or just like random things?
