Nicole and I have decided to go in a bold new direction-- we've been discussing getting tattoos. We've thought and talked a lot about what to get and where to get them, and I think we've come up with some good ideas for us. I want a celtic cross tattoo on my left shoulder. Nicole wants to get something, she's not sure what yet but something feminine and beautiful, on her left hip and upper leg. We also both want to get a smaller tattoo, something kind of similar that links us together as a couple, and what we both thought would be cool was a Bible reference written in Arabic script. Mine will read, "I'm my beloved's and she is mine", and hers will read, "I'm my beloved's and he is mine", from the Song of Solomon. Both phrases look beautiful in Arabic. I want mine to be tattooed as a band around my right bicep, and she wants hers on the inside of her arm.
We still have kind of a lot to talk about before we go ahead with this, and we want to visit a few parlors and interview the artists, and decide exactly what we want, before we get our tats. But the more I think about it the more excited I get. We're at a point in our lives where we feel getting tattoos won't be a stupid mistake, and besides, tattoos are hot. The pic above of the leg flower tattoo isn't exactly what Nicole has in mind, but it's the closest I could find that I would actually post on my blog.
