The Tattoo

Some time back, i blogged about getting a tattoo and how i had it drawn on just to see how it'd look:

Some fellow AnD'ers gave some pretty positive comments...Thanx y'all :)

While i really liked the positioning (easily conceallable, and i can see it without a mirror or bending over :P) and the sun design.... the spiral, twirly whirly  in the centre kind of doesn't mean anything to me.

Well, these last couple of days, i relooked the idea...cos i really want to get a tattoo. i mean come on, i'll be 35 years old in another month or so, i know what i'm doing....or rather, i'd better know what i'm doing :P

Anyways, a tattoo being permanent and all, i asked myself, "What is the one thing in my life that will never change, no matter what?"

The answer came to me in an instant

(Avryl on her 7th birthday this October)

And that's how i came up with this design, hand drawn with a mechanical pencil (Avryl's), a compass to get the circular shape, and a black marker to fill in the colour.

All i did really was replace the spiral with the Chinese character for "sweet".  If you don't read Chinese, it's "TIAN" in Mandarin or "TIM" in Cantonese....thus: Avryl Chaar Tim. :)

Of cos, this is only a preliminary design. i'm still considering what colours to put in or at least have some shading.

Hey, if anyone here has got any cool suggestions, please please feel free to share them with me ok?
