The Perfect Tattoo.

I must get a tattoo no matter what the cost! And they can get pretty expensive, well, the good ones at least. But no matter, I shall hand draw an amazing piece of stencil with an amalgam of animals and complex shapes, no one has ever laid witness to before! Oh wait, my drawing ability lacks the coordination of Bob Ross's 2-inch brush, a favourable item in the inking world! I have no experience with tattoos so please exclude the earlier statements. Anyways, what I am trying to say is that I can never be content with a tattoo if I ever chose to get one (which I plan too). I mean, I am such a perfectionist, especially when it involves me permanently inking my fair skin forever. That's a huge commitment! (Besides marriage.) I don't know how people with full sleeves and scattered tats (cooler way of saying tattoo, according to me) around their bodies are able to do that. I've looked around the internet and found many, I mean zillions of poorly drawn amoebas almost comparable to a Rorschach inkblot. Doesn't look cool and I'm sure there is no particular meaning to most of them (a naked female devil on the lap of a naked female angel kissing and groping has no meaning, well an imagination can supply entertainment from it but, no meaning).

I want a tat (just rolls off the tip of the tongue) that has a wise subjective meaning and when somebody looks at it they'll understand or even just nod and walk away. Maybe it's better that they don't understand, it could be used just as a personal reminder of some happy moment in time; a person, a place or a thing.

I guess everybody has a reason to get one (an impulse of nerves trigger a "get random tattoo" idea, this must be the case for most) and they have their own interpretation of the meaning behind it.

I want mine to be specifically mine and nobody else's. It could be why we see so many different ones, good and bad, because they belong to them, it's a piece of their own imagination, manifested on the backs of their necks or the blades of their shoulders (and every other dark corridor of the human body). No tattoo (tat doesn't sound right in this sentence) is the same. It's like a fresh snowflake or the leaves of a tree. One day i'll get inked, and it will be the perfect tattoo, for me anyways.
