    When I was 18/19 as well, I wanted a celtic band done on my arm, was going to design the band myself. Really REALLY glad I didn't go through with it though!!!

    First tattoo I wanted would be the lil design I carved into the back of my left hand when I was 15 or 16. The first tattoo I actively pursued in getting was a band of water around my wrist, the type of water you see in koi fish tattoos. In the end I didnt get it, just because I found something else I wanted more and got in the end :)

    But.. hmm.. I still have a lil sketch of my name as an ambigram, not sure whether it was that or the water that I wanted on my wrist first.

    The first tatoo I wanted was from a computer game. Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker.

    I wanted a black, filagree type rose on the left side of my lower back when I was 18.

    I got it and still love it and it started my obsession!

    I got a cassette tape design from the mid-side of my body/rib-cage area down to my hip. Love the tattoo, but easily the stupidest place I could've possibly thought of for my first one! Got one on my wrist and upper right arm a while after, and thinking about getting another one soon!

    Still no idea what makes them addictive, but they are!

    First and only one I've ever really wanted (so far!) - heart, star and music note on my left wrist. Been drawing it on my wrist for a year/year and a half before I got it done. Don't regret it one bit. My only worry is covering it up when I'm working considering I want a career in law but that should be easy enough
