Bird Tattoos

I really want to get a tattoo, but I am so scared that I might not like it months, or years from now. I don't want to end up regretting getting one... They're not like piercings... If you don't like a piercing, you can simply remove it and it'll heal. Tattoos are permanent.

I'm an indecisive person; I get into and out of things too easily. Heck, I can't even decide on a hair colour! It changes like 100x a year! And I know what people are going to say: if you want a tattoo, you better be damn sure you' love it and are going to love it years from now. But how am I suppose to know how I am to feel about my tattoo years from now if I haven't even gotten it? All I know is that right now, I already have an idea, and I really, really want one!!

I want a bird tattoo on the back of my right shoulder. Nothing big, just maybe 5 or so small birds. Something like these:

I have already thought of the perfect design and have drawn it over and over again for months. :/

BIRDS! =O

I don't know why, but I have an infatuation with birds. For me, they aren't just something pretty, they symbolize freedom. Ever heard of the word "wanderlust"? Its a German word meaning "a strong desire to travel." Since forever, I've felt wanderlust. I always want to be somewhere new, do something I've never done before, travel, see new things... meet new people. Who wants to live their lives chained down? I want to fly. I like change. And birds are a symbol to all of that.

But I don't think permanent and me work very much. When it comes to things like these, I'm a perfectionist. I see fault in everything, so I know that if I get a tattoo... I might like it the first week but end up finding fault in it a week later. "Its not dark enough, the spacing between these too birds are too close"... etc. I mean, I found a fault in every piercing, hair cut, hair-dye job, etc, that I ever got/done.
So I probably won't get a tattoo in the end, even though I really want to. Alas... If only tattoos can be easily removed.

By the way, here are two other pictures of birds that I absolutely love =]
