On Your Choice (sort of)

{Since I wrote such a wholesome post over at Sarcastic Mom, I figured I should definitely follow it up with something equally maternal and pure. Go, read over there, then come back and vote. Please.}

I’ve got….1, 2, 3, 4, 5 tattoos. Six technically, since one is a cover-up.

There’s some Hebrew, some Latin, a T with some ivy, a maple leaf (that I really dislike) and the Z. All kind of strategically arranged so as not to be too overwhelmingly obvious. And now, I’m about to break that practice.

But see, while I know what I’m getting, I don’t really know where to put it. But I know I want bolder and romantic-y, with the kind of script you’d find in an 18th century love letter, flowy and curvaceous. A classy in-your-face mostly concealed tattoo.

You know me, right?

You know I’ve been on and off a, um,  diet for, oh, about 21 years? You about know my (previous) proclivity for finding self esteem in someone else’s lap. You can blame daddy issues, if it makes it easier for you to digest, whatevs – I just kind of think of it as who I’ve been, so I accept it.

Enter this song:

And these lyrics: cater to the hollow // screaming feed me here // fill me up again // temporarily pacify this hungering

Now you’ve got my next inking.

But where should it go? That’s a lot of fucking words, man. Right?

How about you decide? (Yes, I know how silly it sounds that I’m letting you all vote. But seriously, I’m fine with either option and look to others for approval. Heh.)

Using these [nsfw] ladies as inspiration, there is the choice of a) wrapping around my hips, a la very low hipster jeans, or b) up a side of ribs (and maybe the other).

The canvasses:

There you have it America (and you other non-Americans. And the one masquerading as a Canadian even though she’s got wood for Denver. And hey, Europe. How’s it going? Did you lose weight? Australia – fine shoes you’d got there.). Now please place your votes – and don’t worry, if you haven’t punched through the card all the way, your next eight years will not be completely fucked.

    I, too, have heard the pain of the ribs.

    Plus, with the hips, you could still hide that under a bikini if needed. [Boy short bikini, maybe, but still]

    Good luck with whatever you choose! The words, they are many. Probably less square inches than the dragon I'm visualizing for myself though, LOL! :P

    Which Hebrew letter is that, and why? XD
    Will you tell us more about your other tattoos?

  • I say ribs, no matter how little or much weight you have that generally vicinity always stays rather even based. Whereas the hips and stomach for a woman tend to do the monthly hula hoop dance. (Hugs)Indigo

    but be aware that that will hurt. like HURT.
    that much script in a sensitive place like that? you're looking at several hours of tattoo work there. (yes, i'm jealous)

  • Yeah for the voting! Ok ... I think I already told you that I love the up one side of you with the lyrics and down the other. HAWT! HAWT! HAWT!
  • I almost can't vote because I'm so jealous of your flat stomach. Mine looks like it's been ravaged by Freddie Kruger. But I like the hip.

  • I have wood for Mos Def. I PINE for Denver. Big difference.

    Start at the left hip and go across the back to the right hip. That's my final offer.

  • Hmmm...both have appeal, I'm going with up the ribs. As a fellow hidden tattoo getter, I am currently salivating over my next prick too!
  • My brother has a huge pirate ship up the side of his ribs and it looks unbelievably cool.

  • As a total ink whore who is running out of "coverable" canvas due to who love of relatively large tattoos... I sympathize, indeed I do. :) That said, is your artist really REALLY great with script? Because, done properly, a block of text right there on your side would be super hot.

    Definitely looks like hips is winning. The only way this bit of Europe will lose weight is it being sucked out with a Dyson!
