What I really want…

Monday, March 16th, 2009

As some of you know I have a tattoo. Yep, that’s right Jon Lillie has a tattoo!!!! It is a custom design, a celtic cross with tribal flames coming out the sides. It sits on my left arm, about half way up between the elbow and shoulder.

So by now you must be realizing what it is that I really want… I want another tattoo!!! I’m thinking of a half sleave or my entire shoulder on my right side. But the issue comes up as to what to get.  I’m thinking of a tribute to my grandfather who died in June, a war veteran, and a man whom I will never forget.  So far I have an idea of a flag at half mast, with his name and the date of his birth/death. But beyond that I am a little lost as that will not take up very much space I think.  I want one that is reverent, and meaningful to me.

Some of you may be thinking, “where did this come from?” It isn’t a new thought or want, I have wanted a second one since the day I got my first one. They are that addicting.  But the cost, lack of know exactly what I want, and the lack of know a quality artist I can trust to be healthy and safe when it comes to putting something permanently on my body. Yes, getting a tattoo can be dangerous… infection, disease, and the like is possible. That is why it is good know who your artist is and that they can be trusted to do what you have asked of them.

If you guys have any ideas please feel free to post them… and “do not get one” is not acceptable, sorry.

  9. Hell
  10. Dieing and not having anyone at my funeral
  11. Being eaten alive
  12. Finding out everything I know is a lie
  13. Planning a party and no one showing up (this actually happened once)
  14. Having my birthday forgotten (also happened once)
  15. Running out of gas in the middle of no where
  16. Finding myself homeless
  17. Losing someone’s respect
  18. Making a bad first impression
