Hey, look, a Tattoo post!

So I've been planning on getting a tattoo for almost four years now, really ever since Katrina hit. I want a fleur-de-lis on my uppermost right thigh (it's where I feel most balanced, and I can cover it up easily!)

I decided to Google "fleur-de-lis tattoo" this morning, and these are my favorites that I found:

It might be too intricate, but it's so pretty and has so much more depth.

I really love the way this one incorporates the purple, green, and gold, although I feel like that would end up wearing away sooner since it's all smudgy.

And I really like this one. It's just plain black and pewter, but I love the shadow and just the look of it. (It's on a foot in this picture)

So there you go. Before Katrina my family was kind of into fleur-de-lis, but ever since Katrina we're all a little obsessed. I feel like, for me, it just helps sum up my past, what will always remain in me (my childhood), and a reminder that life changes but that it always ends up being for the best, whether that is because I met Will or I'm not addicted to drugs or I got to meet all of my friends or I became closer to my family. There's a lot that came out of Katrina that was bad, but there was an equal amount of good, and I just want to remember that.

Plus, the fleur-de-lis is just a beautiful object and symbol, so there you go.
