Hello!
@Heimann - really love your first tattoo. The second one is good too (very good actually), but the first one seems to have a good meanings and looks nice.
I have a couple of tattoos (around five of them for the moment, but planning to do more). One of the strangest tattoos I have is a Kraken tattoo. One of the main reasons I've choose a Kraken tattoo is because of the meaning. For those of you know don't know (I didn't) a Kraken tattoo (some sort of legendary octopus) means protection, intelligence and defense. I can't say I'm the most intelligent person on Earth, but I love to think one day I'll be more clever than now. And protection, we all need that.
I also have a ship tattoo (on my back) - a small one though. I have an owl tattoo and two small ones I kinda regret (sorry!).
