I've been wanting a tattoo since I can remember, but like most people, I'm very picky about what I want on my body for the rest of my life and just put the thought of a tattoo to the side for many years.
When I saw Faith's tattoo from Mirror's Edge, I instantly loved it! I loved the industrial style and symbolism it held. Even if you've never heard of the game, the design itself is simply amazing and definately unique.
After I "painted" the tattoo on my arm for my Faith cosplay, I thought it suited me perfectly and knew it was the tattoo for me. ^_^ Well after a year of putting it off, last night I went to a tattoo shop for an estimate and couldn't resist getting it the same day.
After 4 hours of minor pain and irritation, I felt like it was a piece of me that was missing. It seemed like it was always meant to be there! I suppose most people that aren't drunk feel the same way about their first tattoos.
In short, I absolutely love my tattoo! ^_^

Here's a pic of the freshly completed tattoo still at the tattoo shop
