So Ive been thinking alot about the idea of getting tattoos and piercings.. Ive pretty much decided that I do want quite a few facial piercings. 2 in my left eyebrow, 1 bull ring, 1 on the right side of my bottom lip, and I dunno about ears yet.. I was thinking 1 in the upper part of my right ear & 2 in the ear lobe of my left ear...

I really dont look like the kind of person who would get piercings.. but neither do alot of other people & they look fine w/ them. I think once I get a lil thinner Ill look just fine with them. Its my doughy exterior that makes me look more innocent than I really am.

Tattoos... I have the hardest fucking time trying to think of tattoo ideas. Something that I honestly want on my body for the rest of my life... So far Ive had a couple ideas..

1) Get "Wolf" "Gang" tattooed on my fore arms. Problem is I cant figure out how I want it done. Just letters, any pictures, what kind of font, colors, etc. Also, I wouldnt be able to do this until MUCH later in life, because I need both fore arms clear of all forms of imagery, scars, moles, or anything else disfiguring because Im gunna have to use that skin for my dick when I eventually get phalloplasty. Im already thinking my left arm is disqualified because I have a scar & a large mole within the area they use. But they try to only take from the non-dominant arm because u need ur dominant arm while ur skin grows back/heals up.

2) A Tim Burton style arm band/sleeve. Starting from my back, down my shoulder, 2 wraps around my upper arm, 3 wraps around my fore arm, ending between my thumb & index finger. It'd be solid black, but in that cool, creepy, twirly Tim Burton style like Nitemare Before Christmas. I wanna use it as a progress bar. Id have it as just finished outlines to start, and fill it up with each major step I take in my transition. I think the coming out process and finally being able to pass for male in public is enough to have the shoulder filled as of right now. I still need to think about this as Ive only come up with it in the last few days. I might draw it out & post it. Also, I have to wait for the OK on this one since it'll be going thru my fore arm. Damn phalloplasty taking up all the good tattoo spots.

3) A cat over my left shoulder OR around my neck like Sully is on my ID. I dunno what kind of cat or what style or whether or not I want color yet. I just thought this up within the last hour. I was thinking "What is something that Ive loved pretty much my whole life that I know I will still love for the rest of my life?" And cats is the answer. I may do something resembling Fuzzy, my first cat. He was a brown tabby. But not an RIP or remembrance piece.. I really dont like those.

4) Just came up with this one as I was writing the last one. Something for my dog, Snoopy. Hes 17 and I dont know how much longer I will have him, so I want something of him for the rest of my life. I love that dog more than anything. Id kill for him. Im really not into portrait/photo tattoos.. so I may do something more abstract.. or a paw print... or maybe I could draw him very recognizably and work with that.

5) Something Ive wanted since I was with Kirsti.. but will have to wait til after Im married. Get my girlfriend/wife's name tattooed right over my pelvic region. An inch or two below the waist band, where I currently cant grow any hair. If I do start to grow hair there, which I prolly will during hormone therapy (hopefully) I may chose a similar spot or move it all together.

6) If I cant get #1, I was thinking "Wolfgang" across my back. But Id do it like... it was beneath the skin and it looks tore up with some Tim Burton style creeping lines coming out of it, and one of them would be what the progress bar comes out of. Google Spiderman tattoo and ull see what I mean, some guy has a chest piece of his skin tore up and the spiderman costume underneath.. he had his arms done to match, which ull also find, but arent as well done as the chest. There is one result from here on DA thats the same concept cept on the arm.. if the first guy did it in that style on his arms, it would have been better.

7) A bar code over my wrist. Dunno which one.. prolly my left since my right will be taken up with the progress bar. Im still on the fence about this one.. Its cool.. but I dunno if its too over done to be satisfiable. I would turn my name into numbers & use them tho. Or maybe a secret code/word/message... Hmm gotta think about that one.

So far thats all my ideas... Ideally, Id have tattoos on both arms, back, shoulders, back of the neck, and very likely my chest. Stomach, ass, & leg tattoos do not interest me at all.

Anyone have any feed back, comments, questions, suggestions? Ive been looking up tattoo refs for ever and still cant find much, if any, inspiration at all.


EDIT: I just thought of a cool idea to "try out" any tattoos I want before I get them. I will create a stencil of the tattoo, lay it where I want it, and get a sun tan. Ill have a pale imprint of the tattoo for months. I can see if I really want it, like, can live with it, and it wont fuck up my skin. Whoo! I think Im gunna start on that tomorrow.
