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.
im still not sure if im going to do the egyptian thing. the more i think about it, the more i am getting away from that idea. as time goes on, i will most likely drop that idea with the way i am looking at it now.
but i am seriously thinking about getting something to honor my dad for what he did in the navy though. he spent almost his whole life in the navy and did a good thing for our country. that is something i can be proud of to have a tattoo of.
