Thinking of Getting a Tattoo

[quote=BigDaddyPedro]So I've recently been thinking about getting a tattoo of a japanese Koi fish. If you don't know what they are read this http://tattooswithmeaning.org/koi-tattoo-meaning/ Thing is I'm 18 and worried if the tattoo will like deteriorate as I grow 'older'. Oh and I was thinking of having it on my forearm, but then changed my mind to have it on my back. What do you guys think?[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Sorry, but I think Koi is a terrible idea. Get something more original instead.[/quote]

[quote=BigDaddyPedro]If your gonna suggest Searz <3 on my arm or something forget it >.> Nah but got any suggestions, something to do with koi fish also, cuz they kinda mean something to me and all[/quote]

[quote=BigDaddyPedro]I should Prob get a singed tattoo and have like /Laugh written on it somewhere. Oh but guys back on topic please :) What do you think I should do?[/quote]

[quote=B-Wong]Wait, what sentimental value/symbolism does it mean to you? That'd maybe pull some ideas from us.[/quote]

[quote=Bloofyre]If you're worried about it deteriorating when you become an old man, I think that you need to rethink if you truly want a tattoo. If it doesn't have that much meaning to you, and it is an impulse tat, then seriously wait a bit. I personally, am about to get a tattoo of a heart with a butterfly needly poking into it. (not a heart shape, a real human looking heart) Because I am a hemophiliac. I dont care at all what it will look like when I am 70 because it means so much to me. (also in part because most hemophiliacs dont live to be 70) I understand most people have tattoos that dont mean shit. but when its going on your body permanently, it should be something that has more value than just an aesthetic.[/quote]

[quote=BigDaddyPedro]"The Kois attempt to climb the waterfall represents its courage, its braveness, its ability to exceed expectations, its belief that it could attain higher goals and its willpower to overcome times of difficulty." This is what I want to achieve in life, I feel like its never enough, and more needs to be done, but at times I easily give up, maybe having this tattoo could help me out through those hard times.[/quote]

[quote=B-Wong]Are you sure you want it on your back? How large would it be?[/quote]
