#39 on my To-do List: Get a Tattoo
Just one potential idea: “Family” first, then “Discipline” (Or both at the same time) in Sanskrit along my collarbone and above my left/right chest like Adam Levine’s (Not that I wanted to get it just because he has one. I’ve been considering it for a quite some time)
Sometimes I may feel that getting a tattoo is a bit “dumb”, especially when I get older and my skin begins to get saggy and wrinkly. But after you’re old and you’ve lived a full life (hopefully), who would care right? Also, I also feel that getting a tattoo in a language, other than your own, is a bit “dumb” as well. I could get a tattoo in Chữ Nôm, but it’ll just end up looking like “AZN cliché Chinese characters.” To be honest, I wanted to get the tattoo in Sanskrit simply because it looks so beautifully written (and I’ll definitely make sure the translation is correct/confirmed before it’s permanently placed on my body). Plus, it’s different. (“And Sanskrit plays into me being a Buddhist” But I’m not even close to being religious at all…that’s stupid. ) “Tattoo is a form of art”. So whether a tattoo may be something meaningful or something that just for looks, as long as it is beautifully done, I guess it doesn’t matter. I think in the end though, I’ll won’t be getting one because I’m feel that I’m too “clean.” The same goes with piercings. I just might be going through a bit of a “rebel phase” at the moment. I just don’t want to be regretting something that I’ll have permanently on my body. We’ll see.
Just my two cents.
If any of my followers/tumblr folk has any suggestions, comments, helpful advice and tips, blatant refusals against the idea of getting a tattoo, or would like to see how the tattoo would look, feel welcome to let me know by message/reblog/reply etc.

LOL I just photoshopped Adam Levine’s Maroon 5 (Sanskrit) tattoo on my chest.
But…I’m half naked, so it’ll be awkward for my followers, especially to those who are family (ahem, my sister) and her friends if I put the photoshopped picture up. I did this because I have a post in my drafts that I’m still working on about whether or not getting a tattoo is something that I may or may not regret. I’ll post it up when I am finished with homework, perhaps tomorrow when I get home from class.
