Tattoo meaning?

I have three Tattoos... One is a tribal tiger on my arm that i helped draw i got it because i was born the year of the tiger and it was my 21st birthday so it was kind of symbolic.... on my back i have a tribal yin and yang made up of two dragons... the meaning of yin and yang has always been dear to me for every evil there is good and vice versa and i love dragons so it was a sure pick... the third one is on my ankle and is "Mariposa" and a erfly i got that one in dedication of love... im gettin another soon on my other arm, a tribal lion, strength& independence is what that one means to me. Basically all of that bable i just did boils down to the fact that only you can truly know what means something to you. My tip however is this, get something that you can look at for the rest of your life and it still makes you smile or feel proud that you got it. Print out the ones you like and stick up copies all over your room, in ur bathroom, everywhere u are, if after a week or a month u still actually like it and it still holds the same meaning for you then by all means go out and get it :) Happy Inking.
