Hello all :] I have recently thought of a tattoo I would like to get a year from now (I wait to make sure I dont change my mind)

I want to get mercury's winged sandals. One each above my outer ankle. Not just the wings :]

I have a passion for running and am actually very fast. I am in love with roman mythology and Mercury is my favorite god.

This will be my treat for losing these few lbs I have left! Opinions? Is it somewhat unique?

    It sounds very fitting! I think it would look cool to have those winged sandals on the ankles of a runner, particularly when you're running.

    great idea, and I think you do right in waiting. I waited 2 years to get my tattoo and chose the right place to go, I'm glad I did because I love it.

    Very unique & a good goal to work towards. Once you reach your goal, your tattoo will have so much more meaning to you.

    I'd like to see a picture of what you have in mind...more for my own curiosity...not at all because I have any opinion about what kind of tattoo to get. I think tattoos are very person. I know the 2 I have are very personal to me. I have a dragonfly on my ankle... not that you've asked BUT I got it because when I was going through my divorce from a man I still sort of loved but who was not good for me to be with I had to remind myself to be mean and direct (to get through it without going soft) and I identified myself with a dragon. When it was over I needed to change my mindset and I chose the dragonfly for its soft near weightless and gentile look. My dragonfly is ME on the other side of an adverse period of my life. If it feels good to you.. DO IT!!!! Sieze the day!!!!

    I have butterflies on my ankles - I've had them for 23 years now... There are times I regret having them - like when I wear a very nice dress, but, all in all I'm okay with them.

    Love the idea of Mercury's winged sandals! I'm very into mythological type tattoos. I have two myself, but I am into Egyptian mythology. I have an Eye of Ra tattoo on my lower back, and an Ankh on the back of my neck. Go for it, it sounds like it will suit you!

    love the originality and most of all the meaning to you.

    and i share the same exact concept on tattoos. i will sit on the thought for a whole year before doing it. that is a rule that has worked for me and i have weeded out many tats this way.

    those wings alone on your ankle would look great too, since you already have a foot there naturally lol
