So I am thinking of getting a tattoo and I need some advice.
I want something that pertains to running, or obviously something meaningful to me. For running, I COULD go wit the Hermes winged feet theme, but that's very generic.
What I was thinking, is getting a number 1 on my left hip. Now, no one (except tat one special girl) would see it because it would be covered up. Her's the story behind it. During races, they make us put on these numbered stickers on our left hip indicating what our seed time was (the guy predicted to be in first would have the num. 1 sticker. and so one). So I was thinking of getting a tattoo of that sticker on my left hip (because I have indeed earned a num. 1 tat. I have broken a school record while wearing that number 1 sticker on my shorts and become one of the best runners in my school).
As for meaningful, I was thinking of getting a series ofimportant dates across my Achilles tendon. Some examples of these dates would be 8/15/91 (my b-day), 2/3/09 (first time I made States), and 6/6/09 (when we broke the school record). I could customize the text of the date bymaking the ones relating to running in a digital font (like on a watch) and have other dates in another font. It would be across my Achilles because I've had a bad history with my Achilles and it would be symbolic of an obstacle that I've had to overcome to succeed (like covering something that has tried to hold me back with my success). I like this idea because each date would yield a story (and I would continutally add on dates through life).
I was also thinking of getting a meaningful quote or something very special to me on my back (between my shoulder blades or across my upper back), like "Running is My Religion" or a quote that is special to me.
What do you guys think? Any feedback, advice, orsuggesstionsare appreciated (anything really).
