potential tattoos

i've been thinking a lot about my next tattoo. it took me years to get the one tattoo i do have, which i'm now starting to think about re-purposing it. anyway. so here are some of the tattoos i'm thinking of getting.

1. quotation marks on my upper arms
description: about 2 in. by 2 in.; a square-ish font
the reason: so i'm always quoting myself
likelihood of getting: very high

2. virgo sign on my left wrist
description: about 1 in. by 1 in.; see below
virgo sign
the reason: it's my astrological sign; also, so i have something on both my wrists
likelihood of getting: medium

3. la sirena on my back
description: about 8 in. by 5 in., centered on my back; see below
like this:
la sirena
but more like this light switch below i found here:
la sirena
the reason: some of my happiest childhood moments were when my maternal grandmother would babysit me and take me down with her to our church to play loteria with the other viejitas. la sirena was the most memorable card because, well, it was a topless mermaid.
likelihood of getting: extremely high

I have fond memories of the same game. so much so that I purchased my own set the last time I was in texas. I haven't played...but I just needed to have the cards and the boards.

yeah, i don't think i've played loteria since i was in college in san marcos. i bought a set a while back with the sole purpose of putting the cards up in my cube at my then job. see. i still want to play it again, though. funner than bingo. and educational.
