In my hiatus, I ended up getting two tattoos on my back and am still working on expanding them into a full piece. The design is already set, so its a matter of just scheduling an appointment and getting back to work on it. Here they are:
The upper one is a French quote from Le Petit Prince.
"You are beautiful,
but you are empty.
One could not die
for you."
The lower one is tengwar script from Lord of the Rings.
"Home is behind, the world ahead
and there are many paths to tread"
I also ended up getting two nipple piercings recently as well. Needless to say that is the most risque thing I have ever done and ever will do with body mods--it was painful and the healing process is terrible.
