Choosing the new tattoo

Have decided I want a second tattoo. And, yes, I want it on my lower back. And, no, I do not consider a lower back tattoo to be a "tramp stamp," a "trash tag" or a "slut sticker." Not if it is pretty and dainty and does not say something along the lines of "Lick it" or "Juicy" or "Property of Whoever Gets Here First." ANYWAY...

Thinking of a tribal with floral or celestial wings with three five point stars in the center. Or perhaps a dogwood blossom. Or maybe a sun and moon.  Or maybe the words "Faith, Hope and Love " with "love" in the center. I'm leaning toward the tribal stars or the "Faith, Hope and Love."

I love my sunflower tattoo. I adore body art in general. Like any art or fashion, everyone likes something different so all of it does not appeal me, but I like the medium as a means of self-expression and much of the artwork is truly gorgeous. I know there is a great deal of stereotyping done when it comes to tattoos. I think it's a shame that people close their eyes and minds to such a diverse and exquisite form of art. In my mind, it is their loss. Oh, well...

Whatever tattoo I decide upon, it will be one that has meaning and beauty to me. My body. My choice. My tattoo.
