Hi. Newbie here. I am thinking of getting a tattoo on my chest. But as a person with no artistic background, I would like to gather some design here. I don't know if i am infringing anything here, moderator, please let me know if I am crossing some lines.
Anyway, I am a bit embarrassed about sharing this. But I learnt a big life lesson awhile ago and would like to get a tattoo symbol on my chest to remind myself of the lesson every morning. So here goes: All through my life, I have always been blaming everyone around me for my bad social life. I am always angry at others for provoking me and excluding me from activities. This started when I was a kid and ended when I started my career in the military. I realize that I am the reason and have been rather self centered and hostile whenever I feel like it. Joining the army has been a big life changer for me. I would have to be reminded of the lesson "hostility often stem from yourself" everyday. However, sometimes, the lesson slips my mind.
I have always seen tattoo as a mark of your life and is something significant an individual want to commemorate. However, coming from a reserved family background, I do not want my tattoo to be too big. I intend to have it on my left chest, 2-3inches above the nipple. So here's some of the requirement that I have been thinking a long time (I hope you guys like some challenge):
Let it be simplistic. E.g. a symbol, logo, abbreviation, or anything you deem appropriate
size of it should be roughly the size of a watch's face. since it is simple, not a big space is needed
i want to look at it in the mirror every morning. tattoo should look good from the mirror too. (don't have to be symmetrical)
use black ink only
I hope i am not asking for too much. Thank you in advance for your effort. Cheers!
