I mean, this is something that would be stuck on me forever. What possible symbol or phrase is there that I was sure I\u2019d like forever. For me, forever is a very scary thought. I mean, it\u2019s always, the entire enchilada, for ever and ever. And for the life on me, I couldn\u2019t think of anything that I was sure I\u2019d like for the rest of my life.<\/p>\n<p>Something inconsequential like a flower or a happy face seemed silly. I mean, why tatoo something that means nothing? A name is just asking for trouble unless it\u2019s MOM but that\u2019s just too pirate\/sailor for my taste. Snakes and skulls just aren\u2019t my cup of tea. So I\u2019ve been turning this over in my mind with no success.<\/p>\n<p>Until today.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, in a moment of pure insight, I figured out what I could permanently place on my body without fear of every changing my mind. I\u2019d go for one of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.astrologycom.com\/taurus.html\">these<\/a>. (The little green symbol.)<\/p>\n<p>I know, I know, horoscopes are silly and too general to be true but I honestly believe that I was born under the right sign. I\u2019m proud to say I am a stubborn and bull-headed person and I always will be. So for me, I\u2019d have to say that the Taurus glyph of the circle and horns would be my tatoo of choice.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this only answers half of my tatoo dilemma. Now I have to decide where I would want to put it. That question I am still debating. I\u2019ll let you know what I decided.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, I\u2019ll leave you with this scenario&#8230;. I drag you into a tatoo parlor and won\u2019t let you leave until you go under the needle. What would\u00a0<strong>you<\/strong> choose?
