Timid, those are pretty cool and unique drawings! Those must take a lot of work. :o

My first tattoo is a gothic butterfly that's located on back, on the right shoulderblade. It was partially gotten as a symbol of my "new life" and "metamorphasis" since my surgery and dad's death, which were both mere days apart. I admit it was also gotten because, quite simply, I thought it looked pretty cool/beautiful. :lol:

Second tattoo was Japanese kanji for "father", in honor of my dad. It's located just a lil above my heart, to represent my dad staying close to my heart and all. It's in Japanese because I am OBSESSED with Japanese language and culture.

Third tattoo is the latin phrase "Si Vis Amari, Ama" which means "To be loved, love". It may seem weird, but it means a LOT to me because I used to be really cynical and this reminds me that the key to everything (excuse my hippy-ness I guess lol) is to simply LOVE each other. It's scrolled on my right forearm so I can always see it and be reminded to try and be a better person and not be so selfish.

So fourth tattoo is gonna be just pure fun, no super deep meaning. Just a fun reminder of something that has been very consistent in my life and has always brought me happiness...Yep, I overthink stuff. :lol:

You could get a tattoo of John Leguizamo as Luigi from Super Mario Bros.: The Movie.

Nice idea. I always wanted to get an Alex Kidd tattoo but i can't find an image i like of him.

I saw a pixelated version of him punching once but can't seem to find it anywhere!

A lot of people hate that movie because it's not a very faithful adaptation of the games. However, if you can get past that, it's actually pretty fun. It was a family favorite in my youth, and I can quote a lot of it. My google messenger status is currently:

"Iggy's World... The indomitable Spike... The Supa Koopa Cousins!"

EDIT: I should clarify that I don't see it as a pinnacle of filmmaking. I just think it's really a very fun movie that is unfairly maligned.

Maybe instead of Luigi, Mario's first appearance in Arcade pixel glory?
Needle in the raster lines, DONKEY KONG Mario leaping, the classic pose. :D

But... she said she likes Luigi and a tattoo of him will be a lot less common than Mario.
