This is all about one of my passions, namely tattoos, so I simply <strong>had<\/strong> to answer it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I only recently got my 12th tattoo, but as most people with tattoos will tell you, you start planning the next one almost as soon as you&#8217;ve had the last one, and for the next one, I&#8217;m considering three at once. These would form a small cluster, intended to honour my mother, father and brother. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since my mother got me into <em>Star Trek<\/em>, and sci-fi in general, I figured the original 1960s USS Enterprise model would be a good tattoo to honour her, whilst my father has long-loved Eric Clapton&#8217;s guitar-twanging tunes, so a guitar feels like a good tattoo to get for him. For my brother, who loves <em>Game of Thrones<\/em> and also <em>Warhammer<\/em>, I am a little torn, but leaning toward a dire wolf tattoo from <em>Game of Thrones<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As to where I&#8217;d put them, I was thinking stomach, which would mark new territory for me. All of my existing tattoos are on my arms, and they&#8217;ve all been fine, though I hear the stomach is more painful. I won&#8217;t know till I try!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An alternative idea, which I had originally considered for my last tattoo, is an Arwing fighter from the <em>Star Fox<\/em> video game franchise. I may well circle back to this, though it would realistically go on one of my arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So there you have it, that is my answer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/meerkatmusings.co.uk\/?page_id=122\">Back to Meerkat Prompts<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The WordPress Prompt of the Day caught my eye today, which is a little unusual.
