Tattoo ideas

I've always been fascinated by tattoos.  When I was about eleven I was really into hair metal and Axl Rose and Rikki Rockett all had several tattoos.  None of them really held a candle to Nikki Sixx, though, who had a whole sleeve and it even extended onto his chest!

I got my first tattoo when I was eighteen and then my second not long after.  I waited for years before getting my next one and then I had another a few years later.  I've always been a bit hesitant about tattoos because I was afraid of regretting it.

One day I saw a woman in Starbucks.  She had loads of tattoos all over her arms and she was probably in her late thirties.  I didn't like her tattoos, mind, but I loved the look.  That's when I decided I couldn't give less of a shit about regretting it.  When did I think I would get these awesomely tattooed arms I wanted so badly?

So in the last year I've had a fucking shit ton of tattoo work done and it's all fabulous.  This has also led me to just get tattoos whenever I feel like it after not that much thought.  That's why I have a tattoo of me and my dog under a banner that reads 'TRUE LOVE FOR EVER.'

While visiting Brazilian Rachel in Hawai'i in 2011 I saw loads of haole with tattoos of the island chain and I thought, 'I want one!'  I didn't think that much of it, to be honest, but then in the past month or so the idea has really taken hold of me and I finally decided that I had to just go for it.  Except by now I want an hula dancer pin up (but Polynesian, for some reason all the pictures I've found are of white women) to accompany my Hawaiian Island piece.

All this leads me to this morning.  I didn't sleep much last night and when I finally dropped off I had a terrible nightmare which is just a load of bullshit.  I'm a little bit worse for wear today and so tired I feel both nauseated and starving.  I can already tell by 7pm I'm going to be so tired I won't be able to sleep at all.

I decided to accompany this Hawaii tattoo I want a tattoo of California on the other side.  I was a bit stuck about what I wanted, though, until I decided that I should get a tattoo of a burrito.

What the fuck, brain?

If this is still a good idea next week I'm going to go for it.  You have to, don't you?
