This is a bit random but I have decided what kind of tattoo I want to get. I was watching Miami Ink (awesome show) and a customer was talking about the reasoning she had behind getting a pirate ship tattooed on her side and her reasoning made sense. She was getting it because to her pirates signified rebellion and constant change and as she traveled constantly for her job she felt like she was a kind of modern pirate. I liked it and it made sense, however – pirate I am not. However, I have been a “carni” for most of my life, and I probably will continue to be one for a very long time. With that in mind I think it would be cool to represent the time and love I have of the business. If I'm gonna get something put on this body in a permanent way it have to be something that's going to mean something to me even when I'm old and going senile. Even if I revert to a ten year old in my head, the carnival is still going to mean something to me. Ergo a carnival tattoo is what I shall be seeking. I'm not sure if I want a carousel horse or if I want a Ferris Wheel or something confection related. I'm not planning on getting this tattoo for at least a year or so, so I have some time to compile some ideas. I'm leaning more towards a carousel horse though, if anyone is wondering. I'm going to start a file and start collecting images of carousel horses I really like, so that when the time comes I’ll be able to give them over to the artist and have him/her design me the perfect horse. Feel free to weight in on the subject of tattooing and what I should get, and what you would, should, are, have got. Peace!
