The Best Ink
I have long been wondering about the world of tattoos, more seriously now than the thoughts I've had about getting one in high school. The funny thing is, I don't really think I'm an inch closer to getting into the chair. I just love the whole realm of possibly creating tattoo designs for people and knowing that it'll be on their person for, possibly, the rest of their human life.
I was perusing the awesome land of Blogger and, as some of you might know, there is a lovely lady named Ivania who runs a blog called Love Aesthetics. It is here that I found one of the most beautiful tattoos I have ever seen! Here it is, on Ivania's boyfriend:
I cannot get over the brilliance of this. I wonder why I hadn't conceptualized this, even in passing, in my own mind. It is remarkable.
It brought me to searching for other genius, simple tattoos and the following are some of my picks:

It's kind of the perfect solution to my tattoo-idea problem to get something like a circle. Have the issue of being very ... What's the word. Hm... Indecisive? And being a design nerd, I don't think I could settle for any one intricate piece. I have to many interests visually... But with a simple circle and line, I feel there's very little that can go wrong. Maybe this is in my future? It also helps that I have fond memories of a young man who was briefly my "mentor." He happened to have quite a few circle tattoos too.
