For some reason this experience I will be having for the next few months makes me think I will want to get a tattoo rather than an additional piercing when I return home.

Every once in awhile, my mind will start to drift at night or when I get up to drawings and/or sayings I would want to have on me permanently as well as the right color scheme.

See, it’s never been that I dislike tattoos. I am really a big fan of any type of accessorizing and personalization. I don’t even really have an issue with needles. For me, the issue has always lied in not being able to answer the question, “Will I want this on my body when I’m 82?” With piercings, I don’t need to answer that question. Hell, if I was bored with the piercing or the jewelry tomorrow I could take it out or switch it. Tattoos are a little more permanent.

Occasionally when I would start thinking about it before I left, I would discuss options with other people, such as friends and coworkers. I’m completely torn between going with something that signifies my “phrase” as you will of Rainbow Awesome Unicorn Wow, or something that is just badass and girly, that also portrays me pretty well. The only definite elements I’ve been able to come up with are hot pink and some type of sparkle or glitter effect.

Some ideas that have been given to me are:

• Literal interpretation of Rainbow Awesome Unicorn Wow
• My favorite saying wrapped around my stomach but with some design elements to it
• A badass tramp stamp with a hot pink machine gun (not sure how keen I am on the idea of a tramp stamp)

Why am I writing this post? Well, I’m not a graphic designer by trade, and I don’t do off the shelf accessorizing. I’m hoping that while I’m away on business that someone that reads my blog can come up with some creative ideas I might be able to use. You all know me well enough. I have faith in you.
