As funny as the cat tattoo is, I'd regret that after three days. So I want tattoos that are meaningful and that won't lead to regret. So I had to see what makes me, Me; after soul searching, research and development, surveys and analysis, I had some things that I could work with. I thought of making my own coat of arms, especially since I couldn't definitively find my already existing one (on both my mother's AND my father's side). So thats an option, my own coat of arms to herald presents! I have yet to definitively come up with it though. Another decision to make, just as important as what the tattoo is, is where to put it? I've always been fond of side tattoos.
As awesome as nostalgic tattoos are, they're not going to be my first choice, not out of the running, but not first up at bat. But since I'm part Scottish, and feel a connection to my Scottish Celtic roots. So having a Gaelic word tattoo seems very appropriate. I have researched Scottish Gaelic via online translators and I would like to tattoo the word "Creid" to my left side. Creid is the Scottish Gaelic word for "Believe." Now I need to find a font. Also, since I was born in Washington state, I have a connection to the Indian art work of the Pacific Northwest (even though I am not myself Indian). So I would also like to have this tattooed on my left side:
It is an Orca, a.k.a. Killer Whale. With the juxtaposition of my Gaelic "Creid" and this orca would create an addition meaning completely separate from their individual meanings. In my Senior year of high school I had the privilege to take the Apple certification course to become Apple Pro Certified, Final Cut Pro 6, Level One, something I'm very proud of. In that course we edited footage from the the new Seaworld show Believe. So an Orca next to the word believe ("Creid") is a clever way to be proud of that fact where as most people just use the apple logo.
That cattoo is a little gnarly. haha
ReplyDeleteI still want a finger stache though. Or a monkey on my back.
Orca ftw.
