#1- Jack's chain wrist tattoos from BioShock 1:
I want these partially as an homage to my favorite game series and how much it means to me (which is A LOT) and partially because the chains (I may modify the design so the chains look broken rather than whole) will cover some old scars and if I do decide to go for the broken chain design it'll really symbolize how much of an independent person I am, my individual freedom, how my ultimate goal is freedom for everyone (ie. breaking the chains) and that I'm not really tied down by the chains of my past anymore (covering the scars etc). I'm very much my own person and it would mean a lot to me.

i just threw this together in photoshop so I could get a visual, haven't settled on a font or anything but yeah. this one's elizabeth's bird symbol from BioShock Infinite, again, really important to me. elizabeth as a character is a big deal for me. I figure if this was to go anywhere it'd be on my back/shoulder or maybe ribs. the quote is also from bioshock infinite (noticing a pattern?) and I guess it represents that life will always go on for me. i'm always gonna live despite the odds, ya feel? i mean, i already have, hence the "lived" part. and yeah.
#3:
vincent van gogh's signature, likely on my ankle. he's my favorite painter for a number of reasons both personal and also just because i really like his style and i'd love to get some of his artwork on me but i don't know if i want any colored/complex tattoos, I prefer minimalism.
it could also be a reference to the fact that i am clearly a work of art
anyway yeah I wanted to organize my thoughts on this somewhere so here we are. not sure if my parents will be on board or if i'm even ready to get any of these yet, but I really want to. we'll see.
