So I have been thinking about getting a tattoo or two for about two years since my brother got his first one. Now the first few questions I always get when I tell people this is what would the tattoo be? and where do you want it to be? I have always thought of getting an anchor with USN and 2012 (the year my brother graduated from basic training). I really want this tattoo because it honors my brother and keeps him close even if he is half way around the world. My next decision is the placement. As a business student, I know that I need to have no tattoos visible for professional purposes, so I want to get it on the inside portion of my left heel. It cannot be to large as I need it to be covered by my shoes so I could wear business dresses to work if I wish. I do not want to have to use makeup or Band-Aids to cover them up every day. The other tattoo would be of an elephant on my other heel. Now most people's reaction is to ask me why I want an elephant or what significance does an elephant have to me. If you did not already know that the elephant is actually a symbol of Alzheimer's. Elephants do not forget anything which is why it is the symbol. With several of my relatives dying of this disease, my mother and everyone on her side know that one day we will be diagnosed most likely with the disease. With this in mind, I want the elephant to remind me that life is to short not to not do something amazing with my life. One day I could forget who everyone is around me and possibly who I am so I want to make the most of my life and I think this tattoo would help me remember to live life to the fullest.
Got a little deep with this post, but comment below about any tattoo that you have ever thought of getting and the meaning behind it.
