Well here it is again, that urge to repeatidly stab myself with the needle covered in ink.
And so i have been trawling the interweb looking for something appropriate should i ever get the balls together to get my first tattoo.
I have always toyed with 3 mains ideas
1. A spiral on my hip
2. Κασσάνδρα just below where my jeans fall at the front
3. A dragonfly on my left breast
The first one is spirtual, the second is my name and also means "she who entangles men" and the 3rd has been a fixation of mine since i was 8 reading "the buttifly tattoo" by Philip Paullman
Well after ruling out the Spiral as something i want to put off incase i suddenly by some horrific turn of fate find some form of more conventional organsised religion and attempt to forget my "devil worshipping" days. (+ the hip is a painful place as it's on the bone)
The second one i already know exactly what i would want if i got it.
Now the third one, well a dragonfly was always an alternative to the more conventional butterfly, but here i am trawling the web to find millions of horrifically tacky girly dragonflys- not one of which anything like what i want.
So that's it, I'm going to have to design this myself- crappit, I didn't take art for a reason.
So after looking at photos of Dragonflys and thinking long and hard about what i would want from this tattoo, with about 5 different drawings on the back of my exam timetable...
.... i find myself sitting here, typing this, Butt naked with a dragonfly drawn in black eyeliner circling my left nipple
Obviously i'll need to work on my drawing skills
