Tattoos: Stickers that don't peel off.

So I've never really thought about getting a tattoo before. Then again, I've never been to Oregon.

So today, I will force myself to think about getting a tattoo.

Now there are many parts to a successful tattoo. In this post, I will discuss the first and most important part to the tattoo getting process. This is what I like to call, the tattoo decide what you are going to get process.

Although I don't think I will ever get a tattoo, I feel good knowing that I am certain of what I would get if the time came: I have narrowed my options down to the following three tattoos:


1. The Traditional Hummingbird

Nothing says compassion and inner strength like the majestic beauty of a hummingbird. And nothing says, "It's got more of a traditional feel" quite like a traditionally drawn hummingbird. Here's a little example:




2. The American Dream

Nothing says Fourth of July barbecue with cut off sleeves and frayed cargo shorts quite like the great American tattoos. There are many great American tattos, but I feel that the greatest of all would look something like this:




3. The Map of Wild Rivers

Put aside obvious reasons of how ridiculously handy this would be inside the park itself. The MOWR (Map of Wild Rivers) is the ultimate in tattooing. I am personally friends with over 700 tattoo artists who consider this their favorite piece. I myself like a map that pays more detail to "Bombay Blasters" rather than the maps that stress "The Edge" and "The Ledge" way too much.




So there you have it. Those are my top 3 tattoo choices. Please note that I have not made up my mind yet on which piece is my personal favorite, so any input is appreciated.
