Tattoo Ambitions

I was doing some research on tattoo designs for a while in Australia, trying to decide if I should get another one done or not. Seems the three I've got already have a quasi-religious point of view on them - ancient ones at that - Celtic, and Christian to this point (no, the cross on my arm is not a Nazi symbol - it was distorted and used by them, just as the swastika was - its a cross that was used during the Crusades.... gee, maybe I'd best not talk about it anymore... not like those Crusaders were much better....) Anyway, I'm digressing here. What I was saying is that I was doing some research and was trying to think of something cool to do - found some designs online, but nothing really caught my eye. Until. tattoo I am in AWE of this work. I WANT it. I NEED it. I MUST HAVE IT. I have decided that among my other goals this year (a later post to come - not resolutions, just goal setting - I can't do the five year plan - that's just a bit too naff for my taste - but I need some goals of some sort) I want to get the cross completed. I have left it alone waiting for the right inspiration, the right je ne sais quoi to smack me over the head. I have found it. Now I just need to find the artist that can take the inspiration and spirit of the work and customize it for what I've got already. Can't wait. Must have new tattoo as soon as possible. Addicted. Arrggghhh... drool......
