all my friends turned 18 before i did, in high school. so they all ran off and got the tattoos that were trendy at that time, which were of course japanese characters. at the time, i remember wishing i could get a tattoo too. i had gone to the library and looked at old art books and had an idea for what i wanted (which i admit wouldn't be too stupid today), but the tattoos my friends have? if i were them, i would regret them! the funniest thing is that my best friend got these two japanese characters that meant strengh and love (or something generic of that sort), and they ended up being the exact same tatoos that sporty spice had and in the same exact spot! so when people would ask him what they meant, he would just say, "it's personal." haha!
my boyfriend has nice tattoos (on his arms, which i love on guys!) but for me, i just don't have a strong desire to get a tattoo. sure...the tattoo on angelina's back is very nice, but frankly i would rather look at a chinese painting on my wall. to each their own is my opinion. if i did get a tattoo, it would most likely be on the inside of my arm and be something in greek, hebrew, or arabic letters since i study language. i think tattoos on the inside of the forearm are subtle and sexy...
