Sometimes you like a certain style of tattooing, sometimes you like certain subject matter, sometimes it may actually mean something. When you see something you like, it’ll click.
Just make sure you do your research and find a good artist, somebody you trust. Ask around, friends, family who have tattoos. I’ve gone to the same shop for all mine besides my first and the same artist has done my last three.

Definitely agree ink doesn't have to have significant meaning. A lot of the coolest ones I've seen simply just look rad. If I go through with it I think it get like a half leg sleeve. I don't know if there is an actual term but like my quad/hamstrings. Probably a collection of the nature things I like - moths, bees, fish, fly fishing, houseplants, mushrooms, some tribute to all the time I've spent hiking/flyfishing around the Ozarks, etc. Maybe i could weave all these ideas into one coherent artwork.
On an unrelated note - I can't believe I'm graduating, starting my first adult job, moving over 400miles away, and will likely be engaged soon. Going to be a whirlwind 2 months. Lots of changes at once and suuuuper nervous/excited about it all, but things are great lately! 2014 through 2018 was a terrible, terrible period of time. Had to take an extended leave of absence from school, was really unhappy, and I didn't think there was an end in sight. Things can improve and it feels even better than before when they do.
