I've been thinking for a long time about getting a tattoo, and I might finally stop being a chicken and go do it.

I'm not scared about it the pain at all, that's a given, what's been taking me so long is deciding what it is that I want, how I want to express my thoughts behind it and trying to make sure it's individual enough so that nobody will ever see anyone with the same sort of tattoo, anywhere.

I have friends who have a couple of tattoos, and I have some friends who are pretty heavily covered, I don't know where I want to be. I get that once you start you end up wanting to get loads of different things, like an itch, but I think if I've put enough effort into the tattoo that I want to get, it will be pretty big and I'll be pretty in love with it so that I won't be tempted to get anything else after.

"And what is it you're going to get?" I hear you ask. Well that would be telling...
