So, I'm getting a Warrior Cats tattoo within the next few months. Please note: I am an adult, who lives on my own. This is my body and my decision. I waited until I was a certain age to get inked for a reason. So, please do not give me the whole "what are you doing?! Don't you know Tattoos are permanent, your body is a temple!" spiel. Just don't. This is the start of a sleeve containing animals that have some significance in my life. Such as a horse for the years I spent riding, and a dog in honor of the dog that has been apart of my family for the last fourteen years. And so on, but the horse, dog, and warrior cat are the only parts of the tattoo that I have mapped out.
I drew the design for the warrior cat myself and will be posting it soon. It is not explicitly warriors, there are no clan symbols or specific cat markings that point to any one cat. It is a cat surrounded by stars and bright colors. It's the kind of thing that just looks like a cool cat tattoo, but I'll know what it means. I've been a die hard warriors fan for ten years now. It's because of warriors that I started to take my art seriously. Long story short I wouldn't be the artist I am today without this series. I wouldn't have been able to get into art school or major in animation if it wasn't for this series jump starting my artistic passion. So it seemed only fitting that I drew the tattoo design myself.
Warriors also helped me cope with anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues as a young child, serving as a distraction for the times when my life was at its worse. I still deal with mental illness, and even as an adult, I can still find calmness in a warriors book.
This tattoo will hold so much meaning to me, it's hard to explain just how I feel.
I will add a picture of the final product once I get it. (I won't show the actual process of getting inked, because I don't want to gross anyone out. I'll post a picture of it when the tattoo is healed.)

Good for you! ^^ That's pretty cool. A seemingly "normal" cat tattoo that actually has a lot more meaning behind it than you'd think at first glance. Excited to see the drawing and the finished tattoo!
