A Day Late and A Dollar Short

I've been spinnin' my wheels...
     wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
Trying to choose something I love...
     love me, love me, sayyy that you love me
Sometimes, too many options makes it tricky...
     tricky to rock a rhyme that's right on time
And I'm still undecided.


Potential Project: Attempt to discover any varying reasons behind getting a tattoo.
Primary Research: With permission, spend an evening or two or ten at the shop where I get work done. Talk with clients, artists, the friend(s) that tag along for the ride, etc.
Secondary Research: History of the art, traditional symbolisms
Interesting Subject: I have many tattoos myself and have always been curious as to why someone might have a seemingly obscure object inked into their skin.
Questions: What motivates the desire to be tattooed? Is this generational? (Would that be more interesting to explore?) At what cost will people have this done? (Other than the obvious permanency.) What do family members think? Does the client care?
Should I go more broad than this...or even go with this at all…
