Tattoo..

[ShortStack]

This may be long, but please bear with me.. Well, the plan for my next tattoo has been daisies for quite a while. However, many of you know that one of the kids in my church's youth group passed away Sunday. I work closely with the group, and it has devastated me that this happened to one of my kids. I have taken something amazing from this, and that's the idea that while at first I was worried his potential wouldn't be reached, now I realize that through those of us left behind can help his potential be reached. I knew his potential has always been to do something great, and to make a difference in this world. Through those of us left behind, that can happen. I have a new love for life. I don't want to just exist, but truly live. As cliche as it sounds, I know now the true meaning of 'carpe diem' and I'm ready to do just that. People say they will do it all the time, but I want to really make it happen.

So, the new idea I have is to have 'Carpe Diem' and a butterfly tattooed somewhere. I want the 'Carpe Diem' for obvious reasons, and the butterfly because to me it is one of the greatest symbols of change and growth.

I'm stuck between 2 places though. One is on the right side of my stomach/pelvic area, right about where the waist of my jeans would be. The other is on my lower back, but not in the "tramp stamp" area in the middle, but to one of the sides. Does this make sense? I can take a picture of the place I am thinking if not. The reason I'm stuck is because I want to be careful when it comes to any stretching that may happen. I know they advise you not to get tattoos where you gain/lose weight easily because they can get distorted. I think the one on the front would do that worse, but I'm not sure. I'm just trying to find the place that will look the best in the long run. Advice?
