Week Fifteen: Let these feet lead you & let this faith guide you.
New ink on three planks;
1. The names of my parents in Elvish.
2. Elvish as their common interest when they were dating was Lord of the Rings & all their children were supposed to be named after LOTR characters (My sister’s name is Lorien) and;
3. Left for my dad & his logic; Right for my mom & her emotions - we always walk in their footsteps, one way or the other.
I want to have this tattooed honestly but I’m not the hardcore Harry Potter fan but I just really like what it means & what it represents for me.
Finding light in the darkest of places.
It shall be a line from a Red Hot Chili Peppers song;
Can’t stop the spirits when they need you.
Last Tuesday, I almost got this particular sketch of Vader tattooed on my arm but I decided against it because it just didn’t feel right yet. Vader has to have a body, even if it is in Lego form.

Fly Like Paper, Get High Like Planes.
I was itching to get a new tattoo for the longest time. So one boring Tuesday (0824), I decided to go and get one - finally, the Paper Plane has landed.
I will explain this when I feel wordy because right now, I just feel sleepy.
Tattoos, Tattoos, Tattoos.
I have nothing against them, obviously, but one of my greatest peeves about them are the people who get them just because they think it’s cool. I mean it’s your body and all and it’s your choice to put some hipstery, cutesy, whatever images on it but to get a tattoo without proper meaning to you, as a person, is like having sex with Angelina Jolie and not cumming (or whichever sex object you have in your mind).
I don’t know. I guess I’m just annoyed with people who constantly ask other people about what tattoo they should get and where they should put it. Yes, I do do that too but it is within the constraints of The Barracuda and The Kid Dandylion and not the whole internet community or just random people.
I guess I’m just the type of person who believes that a tattoo should be meaningful because after your virginity’s gone, your significant others have cheated and your looks start to go - your tattoo is the one who’ll always be there. It’s like the force that guides the Jedis.

Peonies Studies for Nixxie’s planned tattoos.
I can never say “Peonies” without getting a queer look from people. PEENEEZ.
Finished tattoo designs; to choose one and where to put it is the dilemma.
I’m thinking of putting it by the back of my neck but at the same time, I want to put it on my arm but I’m not too sure I want something that big on my arm at this moment. All I know is I want it done.
