I almost got a tattoo ten years ago when I was living in Spain. It was right after college and I ended up living in Europe for two years and it was the most liberating time of my life.
I was living in this resort town in the south of Spain, working in this Irish pub that catered to English and Irish tourists, and I was having the time of my life.
And there was this tattoo parlor in the town and my friends from the pub were getting tattoos and I wanted to get something cool on my upper right arm.
I didn't want a Celtic band (for I'm not Irish descent even though I ended up living in Dublin for 18 months), but something that reflected myself as a writer.
I was thinking of getting a writer's quill (like the image below)crossed with a sword with some kind of cool design around it. I was discussing it with the artist and he said he could come up with something along those lines.
Anyway, I ended up not getting it because it was above my budget at the time. I was a traveling man and could not afford spending almost a hundred dollars for a tattoo.
