Brains!

I spent most of last night forcing myself through the pointless feeling. I kept designing a tattoo I don't think I'll ever commit to getting. I'm going back and forth between a few ideas. I know I want it to be composed of thin lines, and it should be small, which doesn't leave too much room for detail. It's going to be black, and probably above my left ankle.

Ideas include mostly celtic symbols, not dorky knots. I've always been attracted to the triskele , since I was given a necklace version of it. It again became important to me when I was waking up in life. It sorts of spans a lot of cultures. It's meaning is varied, and I identify with the fluid meanings. It comes in different shapes: triskeles, triple spirals, triquetras, single spirals, or threefolds. I mean the swastika is technically a version of it. Right now the design I'm mostly into is the Triquetra. I'm interested in bringing water somehow into the design. I even started researching symbols of honesty, or truth, even integrity, and there are none. What does that tell you about humans? Clearly not important values in ancient cultures. Am I just a freak? Plus even if I found this magical all encompassing symbol, what if it were African? I'm not African, I refuse to be a poser, just because the symbol is pretty.

I'm adamant about designing my own too, but my designs so far look amateurish, ugly, and bulky. I think I might have to reach out and find someone to help me.
