Tattoo?

I've been thinking about getting a tattoo for quite some time now. I want it to be meaningful and somewhat unique. I'm not sure exactly what I should get or where. I've got some ideas but none of them are fully formed.

I know that I want it to speak for "No Regrets," "You only live once," "Live life, love life," "Love hard", "Love like crazy," etc. Maybe it will have these words or maybe it will just represent them. I've been fighting to be who I am for so long and I'm not giving up this fight. I love my life and I don't care what other people think of it.

I've been considering the idea of a tree or some sort of patchwork that incorporates the BDSM symbol, the ageplay symbol, the poly symbol, etc. I'm afraid of getting something big though. I think I eventually want something big but since this is my first tattoo, I'm tempted to go with something small to see how I feel about it first. The tree below is gorgeous but HUGE and therefore terrifying but it's a good example of what I'm thinking of.

Or I could start small with something like this...

I love this one but I'm afraid of how it might impact my career. Visible tattoos can sometimes be a problem. ....and it doesn't have that uniqueness to it.

One more example of a tree that I love. Maybe I could do this on a small scale on my chest....framed in a circle....with the symbols hidden in the limbs. My girlfriend has a triskelion on her chest and I like the look and placement of it.

What are your thoughts on tattoos? Placement? Finding an artist? Regrets or no regrets about your own tattoos?

I'm glad that just plain old adult diapers are sexy in the circles I run in.

What It Is That I Do

What it is that I do isn't about whips and chains.
What it is that I do isn't about belts and floggers.
What it is that I do isn't about needles and hooks.
What it is that I do isn't about bubbles and diapers.

What it is that I do is about love and community.
What it is that I do is about supportive relationships.
What it is that I do is about education and learning.
What it is that I do is about accepting each other.

I'm passionate about this. Why? Because I know that the people around me care about me. And I care about them. And this is a safe environment where everyone can be themselves. And where everyone can learn to love themselves. And when you love yourself, you can love other people for the right reasons. And relationships grow stronger. We are genuine and honest with each other. There is no shame here. We are real. For many of us, this is more real than it's ever been and as real as it gets. We can trust that there are no secrets. There's nothing to hide. It's raw and wild and electric. The energy is palpable. It's amazing. Our relationship breaths like a living thing. There's nothing else like it. I wish more people understood this.
