The first one, I got just shy of my 21st birthday back in 2007 (as in a few weeks later, I turned 21), after I had been living away from my parents for the first time. I marked my final "coming of age" with it.
The second one, which I got earlier this year, I got after I wrote 60,000 word of novel in NaNoWriMo in 2012, securing my second consecutive win and crossing a personal milestone for myself.
I'm currently paying an artist friend of mine to design one of my upcoming tattoos, which I'm getting to signify one year of living in the city I live in, having moved out of my hometown for good back in 2012. This will be a Transformers character that I really admire, done in the style of a pinup girl from the 1950s.
The next tattoo I'm getting after that is one of my own design, and it's based on both the Autobot insignia, and a calavera. This one will signify the new job I got back in July, which I've been doing quite well at and that I really enjoy.
Eventually, I will be getting a runic compass on my shoulder, and possibly a few other runic tattoos, depending on how things go.
I also have plans for many more Transformers-themed tattoos, since the series has been such a big part of my life ever since I was 3 years old.
My parents do not approve of me having my tattoos, but they have, at least, chosen not to comment, as I save up my money for my ink. I love tattoos, because they're an expression of a personality, a heritage, and of living artwork.
as an update, I've gotten my pinup. I still need to get it colored in sometime, but that'll happen eventually. I also have added a blue lotus flower to my "collection". It's on my back right shoulder. I drew the artwork for it myself, and it's one of my favorites now. :)
