over time you'll eventually start picking things out of it that you might have wished to change, or (also in my case) mistakes made by the person doing the tattoo... luckily mine is literally just a dot out of place, but its still enough to bug me, I see it every time I look at the tattoo.
I think "Young Forever" seems to go well with the Zombie theme. It would be a nice touch.It seems like a pony tattoo would be great because it really speaks to a part of you. I will say I am glad I didn't get the tattoo I wanted when I was seventeen, however. Not because of the theme; I had bad ideas about placement. A good tattoo artist will be able to give good advice on that, though. UrocyonFox seemed to give some great advice too. Go for it!
I need to stand up for my tattoo artists now, because i realize what i said, did not have much thought behind it and I should have worded it differently. I agree with you 100% UrocyonFox. In my case it was an honest mistake, and its quite literally a dot xD im just so picky about tattoos. The artist I go to for ink is also the ONLY person in my town who should probably still be operational, iv gone to others for quotes or literally just because im curious about them, either they've stolen images offline to make themselves look good, or they will just not have a portfolio available. My artists really is a great guy, ill never go anywhere else for tattoos or piercings lol.Iv always been fascinated with tattoo art of all styles, (however im kinda bored of tribal at this point) but I started doing a lot of graffiti and flash in middle school, I never wanted to tattoo people, because though I like getting them done TO me, the thought of tattooing someone else makes me a bit squeamish and super nervous. Anyway, Iv never understood how someone can just walk in, get a tattoo and walk out. xD it takes me years to commit to an idea and refine it to where I know ill love it forever haha. I always feel like im being really annoying because i DO make lots of appointments for little things. I say, eventually this will be an entire sleeve, and people just look at me like im crazy because theres hardly anything about it at this point lol.
To the OP, As far as your tattoo goes, I really believe that a tattoo means more when you pick it out yourself and have it customized to represent you and your beliefs. I'm a huge fan of tattoo's having a meaning, including words. However I'm not lecturing you, so I will toss out a couple of ideas:- Nostalgic Love- Youth is Timeless- Forever Young at HeartUrocyon, I had no idea that you were a tattoo artist I'm in the same boat as you though, I've also noticed that people tend to blame their artists for the things they don't like, so I made it a rule when my husband and I moved to Windsor last year that I would no longer tattoo anyone outside of him and I. Actually on our 2 year wedding anniversary (this past easter weekend), I gave him 2 more tattoo's (our wedding quote in Italian down his lower arm and a large koi fish), he went to work and everyone was begging him to convince me to tattoo them. Even though we can always use the extra money, especially since we're considering buying a home, I just don't want any of the hassle and drama, especially when people ask your opinion, you advise them as to whether it's a good idea or not and they ignore you and say to do it anyways

I can't tattoo words to save my life, so just pictures for me. I wouldn't consider myself an artist more of an enthusiast. :3
