Yeah, I hate it when girls get lower back tattoos, right in the center, of flowers and butterflies and pointless tribals. Number one, if you're going to get a tattoo, it better be something that -means- something to you, further than just "I think it's pretty." Number two, getting it on your lower back and then wearing skimpy clothing to show it off is just evil. Get something somewhere that moves with your body, that feels like it belongs there. A nice idea to consider may be getting something off-center on your lower back, maybe even curling it around to your hip- that's my plan. I don't ever wear revealing clothing, and I'm going to be getting this tattoo purely for my own reasons. I'm a massive Ralph Waldo Emerson fan, I love all of his quotes, essays, and poems, and he really gives me a new perspective on life. So, I'm getting a section of one of his quotes tattoed on the right side of my lower back, "Envy is ignorance." My cousin is getting the second half, "Imitation is suicide" on the same spot of her body. So not only does it mean something special to me because of the meaning of the quote and who did it, but it'll also remind me of the fun times I've had this summer spending time with her. We're family, and that's something that'll never change- so this tattoo will definitely be staying!
