tattoo inspiration (day 59)

So I've decided for my birthday, my gift to myself is going to be my 5th tattoo... which I've been wanting for a while. I always have ideas floating around in my head of what I want. I thought I wanted a peace symbol with some pretty swirly vines and flowers on my wrist, but I think I've found something else. I still want the peace symbol.... I just want this more...


There's this poem by e.e. cummings that I absolutely have loved forever.

found on etsy

"may my heart always be open to little
birds who are the secrets of living
whatever they sing is better than to know
and if men should not hear them men are old
may my mind stroll about hungry
and fearless and thirsty and supple
and even if it’s sunday may i be wrong
for whenever men are right they are not young
and may myself do nothing usefully
and love yourself so more than truly
there’s never been quite such a fool who could fail
pulling all the sky over him with one smile"


Beautiful, right? So I think I want the first 2 lines of the poem written on my inner forearm with a few little flying birds. I just can't decide if I want it written in my handwriting or if I want it to like as though it was typed.

I'm getting a little more daring with placement of my tattoos because every day it becomes more and more clear that I am not looking for a conventional career that will frown upon visible tattoos.


Now I just need to make an appointment... only 27 more days until my 29th birthday.... yikes!
