So first off, I'm getting a large piece on my lower right arm in dragonscript. It reads "To love is to survive", which right away I know sounds cliche, but if you read my first blog you'll have gathered it's the people and things that I love who kept me alive during a very tough time in life. If you still think it's cliche, then, well fuck you. This will most likely be on a banner of some form, and as always with me there will be symbolism, something to represent life, love and death either around or behind the banner. For those who don't know, the dragonscript I'm using is from The Elder Scrolls video game series. Partly because I love Skyrim and partly because the script itself just looks awesome and unique. 
The next piece I want to get after that is a tiger, but not just any tiger. It's going to be a miniature version of my father's tiger tatt, the one that got me interested in tattoos all those years ago. It's going to go on my upper left arm, with a border pattern added to it to cap the shoulder. This is just because I've always loved this tattoo, even though it is an off the wall design. It means a lot to me, without this design I may have never got the tattoos I have now! Tigers are also my favourite wild animal. So you know, that helps to.
The last couple of designs I have in mind are either smaller projects or very early in design. The first being the smaller project. This is to get what I call the "generic tattoo star" on the front of each shoulder, in black and red. If you don't know what I'm referring to, as with most things I mention, I'll leave a pic by this paragraph.Lastly I'm looking at two designs that are very early in development. One being a cuff pattern for my left wrist, as being 6' 8" tall has left me with 9" wrists, meaning I struggle to get bracelets that don't break after two days of wearing, if they even fit to begin with. The solution to this seems obvious to me, get interesting things tattooed on my wrists, that way I don't need bracelets. Then on my right wrist I want something similar to a charm bracelet. Something I can add little details to to remind me of the important things in life. Both of these are very new ideas and so nothing has yet been drawn up. Tasha is going to be doing most of the designing of them. She's a wonderful artist and I love her style, so I know she'll come up with something perfect for me. But until then, she'll be working on my Dragonscript and Tiger tatts and I'll be working for tattoo money. That's how it goes. Well, when she not working with others customers or relaxing, obviously!
