Tattoos and other body mods
nekowafer:
The STAY CALM? It's something that Shannon Larratt, the founder of BMEzine, had on the inside of his fingers. BME was a huge part of my education in body mods. Shannon died a couple of months ago, so it's partly a memorial to him. It also just as to do with my anxiety and depression. Keeping calm is important for me to be able to handle what's going on around me.

Cool. Why that location on your body, though?

I have a design floating in my head based on Nightmare Before Christmas. A silhouette of Jack Skellington with the lyrics, "For a moment, why, I even touched the sky" on either side of him. It's more about the lyric than the film. I mainly want that lyric to remind me even if I mess up, at least I made a go of it. It's taken me a long time to get past the idea that if I can't get something perfect first time, I shouldn't even try.
I'm not sure if I'm prepared to deal with having something so recognisable on me though. My Fallout tattoo design is something that can sort of stand alone separate from the game and should only be recognised by people who have played the game. So in theory just people who like Fallout can address me about it. I don't want to deal with dicks bitching at me for being a Tim Burton fangirl, especially when I'm not. I guess one way to deal with that depends on the placement and its visibility which I'm struggling to decide on. It'll also be a quick way of finding out people I don't want to associate with any further which would save me a lot of time. I think I've talked myself a lot more into this idea than I was feeling before I wrote this paragraph.

I want 'just a flower on the wall of society' on me somewhere. Not sure where or how yet though.

I want it to be somewhere that I can easily see it. It needs to be easily covered by work clothing. And I don't want it on my stomach or chest. And with basically just my thighs left as an option, it seems like a good place to put them.
Apparently, if you are planning to get a lot more tattoos in the future, it is tough to incorporate text tattoos into new ones down the line. So do consider that when you're choosing placement.
Welu, what about just the lyrics, and maybe something like the moon, instead of anything very obviously from the movie?
