also i was thinking about doing something with a navy theme to honor my dad who was in the navy for over fifty years.
don't get a tatty of a Egyptian whatever unless your family either comes from that part of the world, or you're beyond into that culture... otherwise it's about as cool and original as getting a tramp stamp (calm down getcha, just saying they're not original) or a skull or Chinese characters......

design your own tatty. something of actual significance 2 yourself, and not other people.

as you said, as time goes on, your likes and dis-likes change... so make sure whatever you're branding yourself with you actually care about. don't get Chinese characters cause they "look cool" or Egyptian whatever cause it's interesting.... make your own tatty based on something you truly care about. most tatty artists have no problem sitting down with you and designing what you want.
