I have recently started watching Miami Ink. For those of you who don't know, this show is about a tattoo shop in Miami Beach. Real people come in for real tattoos and they leave their stories behind. The artists in the shop are amazing and use the body as a canvas for all different types of work. They do a lot of Japanese stuff, as well as personal artwork that some of the patrons bring in. There is also a girl who specializes in photos. She can tattoo any photo onto someone's body. It's amazing. Anyway, I was thinking of possibly getting a tattoo. But I can not think of anything that I would want permanently on my body. There are lots of people on the show with many tattoos, some covering their whole body. I don't understand how they can commit to so many permanent marks. So I started thinking what would happen if I just chose tattoos as important and meaningful things happened in my life. I would definitely have a tattoo of a soccer ball because I used to play soccer. And I would have an orange flower because for a long time my favorite color was orange. I would have the number 13 tattooed to my back because that was my favorite number all through school. Then there would be a tattoo of Zach Morris from Saved By the Bell, Mickey Mouse ears for the Mickey Mouse Club, and an elephant because that was my favorite animal growing up. I would have a bowl of spaghetti because that is my favorite food and I would be sporting dance shoes to symbolize the 15 years that I took dance lessons. My first boyfriends name would be over my heart because I was sure that we were going to get married after the first year. Good thing his name was Chris.... I could have just added the ta and fixed that one. But thank God I didn't anyway. We were not made for each other. And finally, I would have an NSYNC tattoo. I know, laugh all you want. I was in love with Justin Timberlake. I even saw them in concert. Good thing I am not one of those people who love tattoos. Just imagine what I would look like. Ha, I can't help but laugh at myself.

That would be pretty funny if you made a full collage of all your tattoos on your body. It would actually look pretty cool if it was drawn with pencil on some sketchbook.
yeah... you should work on that and email it to me....
