We're on a first-name basis, now

I probably shouldn't exactly be posting this online, but I want to think it through a little, so here goes.

I used to hate tattoos...but I changed my mind.

I've been thinking since summer of what I could possibly stand to see stamped on my body for the rest of forever (or until I have the money and incredible pain tolerance to get it removed), and have had a hard time.

I have two ideas...only one of which is an actual image.

It would be vines and organic shapes--flowers, leaves, no holds barred, the whole generic deal. But here's the slightly more original part. I want to intertwine mechanical parts throughout the foliage. Cogs, gears, and machinery in general.

I drew up some ideas, and it looks pretty sweet--cogs double as flowers, etc etc. I still have way more work to do on it though. And I insist upon coming up with the entire thing, start to finish,on my own.

Any input would be greatly unappreciated (:
