I want a new tattoo. I don't even know what I want to get, yet, but I want it coming down from my right shoulder and down across the right side of my chest.

Getting out of the shower today, I was looking at my tattoos in the mirror - the one on my right arm, the Cobra, and the jumpwings on the back of my neck - and I just loved them. Just the way they look.

I have the 'thank your lucky stars' tattoo booked for 25th November, with Jay, the girl who did the jumpwings and the 'for the scars and stories'.

After that, I'm getting the wee tree from the cover of The Longue Duree on my left bicep, opposite the Cobra. You can't really see in my icon, but it's a little fruit tree with an hourglass in the trunk. It just makes me think that there are things in the world which are so much more significant than we are - they were here before we were, and they'll be here after I've gone - and it kind of makes all your problems look so trivial.

I just love it, really.

But as for my chest/shoulder... I don't know. (Sensible) suggestions are cool, if you have any. Although the first person to suggest an angel, a rose, a fairy or a butterfly might get a smack in the mouth.

LOL. Funnily enough, I couldn't imagine you with any of the above 'cute' things as a tattoo.

How about something symbolic of your heritage..?

I always think a tree going up the side and onto shoulders would be cool, but I'm too much of a chicken to have that.
My mates got something which looks like ivy, a mass of leaves and flowers and stuff going up her side... starts at the ankle and stops at her shoulders.

That's a bit too girly for me.

Hit my tattoos tag and take a look at the existing ones.

I'm thinking of something with the music keys (notes?), but I can't really properly express it in words (I suck, I know). My visual looks something like this (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2102/1714278922_9dff4878f0_o.jpg), for the keys part and this (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2384/1714278216_839c4a566a_o.jpg), for the style and colors.
I guess I'm thinking of a music intrument or smth, drawn in a very strange way o.O

I'm completely talentless when it comes to music, so that would be kind of ironic.

But I'm thinking more of an image than a pattern, anyway.

lol
Then I guess I'm of no help.
Good luck with it

Unicorns. I suggest unicorns. And dragons. With rainbows.

At the moment, it's more likely to be a bat crawling up my shoulder.

As in, a realistic one. They've always been my favourite animals...

I really like the tree on the cover and I think that would be a great spot for it. I would suggest a celtic knot for the shoulder.
