Live Without Regret
I've looked at so many tattoo designs and have accumulated a rather large collection of pictures of tattoos that I've spotted all over the internet and have been inspired by. I've said so many times, "I know what I want for my first tattoo," but then I find something that I like better (or want sooner). I found a beautiful black and white design of a wooden skeleton key, which I would color a rich oak, with a vine wrapped around it, colored forest green. It was love at first sight, though I still don't know for sure where I want it. A more grand tattoo that I have wanted is "We Are Just Misguided Ghosts Traveling Endlessly" gracefully written across my chest. The line is from Paramore's song "Misguided Ghosts," which has opened and changed my mind in so many ways. I would also love to get a tea plant on the lower, outter side of my left leg because I absolutely love tea! On my right thumb, facing outward, I want the Zibu (language of the Angels) symbol for "Hope" and on my left thumb, facing outward, I want the Zibu symbol for "Choose Life". Though they won't be my first tattoos, I'm 1000% positive that I will get them because they're for my family, in which some members, including myself, have struggled through (not all, but not limited to) depression, anxiety, cancer, alcoholism, etc. It's a beautiful reminder from the Angels to live the life we were meant to have and when in times of struggle, there's always hope. Recently I've been inspired by all the french tattoos I've been seeing. I figure there's no going wrong with getting a tattoo in a language that is part of my nationality. As an artist, I draw, and as a photographer, I shoot (or photograph), but neither of those phrases translated in French peaked my interest. But since a photographer is an artist (in my eyes), I thought about what an artist does, generally speaking... Ah, yes... Create! So, for my first tattoo, on the outter side of my right foot in French, I'm going to get "Je Crée."
