tattoo:

i'd want it to say: 'omnia causa fiunt' (everything happens for a reason). cliché, i know. else it'd be 'l'amour est réel' (love is real) or it could be in english. but then that's corny, and maybe stupid. oh, the first one's in Latin cos' that quote actually has Latin roots and the second one's French cos'... well, the french and love are sort of tied. else it'd be armor verus, which sounds nice too.

i really want one but i don't know how to tell my mom. actually i do. it'd go like:

i: i think i'm going to get a tattoo.

and then i dont know what to expect, but i reckon it wouldnt be as simple as an 'okay' or 'sure thing'. it's not like i'm doing it to please other people. it's for myself. and i don't know how to explain it (and i probably don't want to, especially to the entire world) but i really want it. besides, it's not like i'm going to get a Yakuza or some other gang-related tattoo that'd mark me for life. nor am i going to go get a full or even half-sleeve tattoo. no, they'd all be concealable.
