It seems as if infinity signs are very popular in the tattoo word as of the past year. I think that it is really nice. However, I don't think that I want an infinity because it is sort of becoming kind of...eh, overused? Some of my options are infinity signs, but I don't know if it'll end up being my choice of tattoo that I get. 

*Note: My parents won't let me get a tattoo that is visible because they are afraid that it'll negatively impact me when I look for jobs (whatever; when I turn 18, I am getting a tattoo on my wrist). So,  I don't really know where I want my tattoo that won't really hurt because it'll be my first tattoo. I wanted it on my side or foot, but those are pure ribs/bones, so I'll pass as my first tattoo. Any recommendations on where to get it?

a) I think that this tattoo is very self-motivating. This is one of my top choices. Moreover, I think I might wait until I am 18, so that I can get this on my wrist. With this tattoo being something I would see as something that I could look down at and boost myself up a little when I am feeling unmotivated, I would want this visible to me. Sure, I would know that it's on my body, but I would want to actually see it. 

b) The classic heartbeat is very pretty. For me, it would signal not giving up on life even when times get really rough. Plus, I like how it's a literal "heart"-beat. Seriously, it's a lovely tattoo.

c) Anchors have always been something that I have always been attracted to. There is just something about anchors that make me like them way more than I think is normal. Add them into an infinity sign, and I think that I am sold. Plus, the "I refuse to sink" is something that I could really dig. This would probably be my number two tattoo option. {Okay, I lied. An infinity sign is something that I just might end up getting.}

d) This tattoo references my outlook on life. Don't stay stuck in the past - learn from it, nonetheless, but just do not stay stuck on what happened then. I like to focus on the now. If I were to get that tattoo, then I would not get it with the birds (they look too much like bats to me in this photo). Even though I know that I could get them changed, I just like the words. It would be simple for me. 

e) Music is a real, prominent part of my life. I don't want to sound like I am saying vows, but music has always been there for me, through thick and thin. That is why I love this tattoo so much. It would show how music affects my life - good and bad. My heart beats for music (read that in the most un-dramatic way possible, please). 

f) Curiosity has killed me (the cat) more than a million times already. I love to travel and see the world; I love to stick my nose into business that does not concern me; I love to be a completely random soul. I like to think of me trying to figure out myself through the struggles, opportunities, and all parts of life as simply trying to find "me." It does not mean that I am "lost" or "confused" per-say. It just means that I am attempting to find who I really am, which is something that I think more people need to understand. It's how come I like this tattoo so much. It would be a nice reminder for myself to recognize that even through the times in life that I feel confused about who the hell I am to just remember that I am trying to figure it out, but am not lost.

g) I love to smile, and I think that everyone should smile at least ten times a day. If there is no reason to smile, find a reason - that's what I say, at least. Smile for no damn reason if you must, just smile. A smile can do a lot for you. I think that this would be an adorable tattoo (maybe without the heart, though). 

h) I made this one by myself in PicMonkey. It is very simplistic, which is what I really adore about it. I think the saying is great to hear daily, and I would love to see this as a reminder to myself to smile. Although I am generally  happy person that smiles a lot (just ask anybody that knows me), I sometimes have those days where I feel very unmotivated and sad. Sure, a tattoo that tells me to smile doesn't mean that I will smile, but I could darn well try.

When I get a tattoo, I want to get one because it is meaningful to me. I do not want (and will not get) one that is based on whether someone else might understand it. Nope. Sure, if they ask what it means to me, I will explain it. Otherwise, they can just be confused. Of course not everyone might like the ones above, but I do. I find a meaning in them and would love to have any of them. As I get older, I think  I am going to start getting more tattoos (let's see how the pain goes, haha). I already know that I am going to get some piercings, but I think ink is very meaningful and beautiful, which is something that I appreciate a lot.

Do you have any tattoos? Do you want any? If so where (to both questions)
