What tattoo do you want and where would you put it?

I just finished this book and then there’s this question about tattoo.

Where do I start?  The book… Of course, I’ll start from the book. There are rivers in the sky by Elif Shafak. I finished the book in two sittings, and up to this moment I can’t move my mind from her stories.  A girl and her grandma that come from an ancient lineage of high priestess, the seers; a hydrologist who afraid of water (she) , a tattoist who’s afraid with Needle (also she), and a young lad, who has a very peculiar memory, grew up in a slum in London and have great interest with ancient mesopotamia. I know .. and yes, it’s really really that good. The stories flow, interconnected amid different time span and continents. Like rivers, and in this book the three most mentioned rivers are the Tigris, Euphrates, and Thames.

I did mention above that there’s a tattoist here.. and she tatto words in cuneiform. In what? Google my dear… Google. And there’s a part, that the hydrologist tattoo the word “water” in cuneiform on her left arm. I find the idea is really interesting. We are made from water, human can survive without food for some time… But we just can’t survive without water. Water flows, water is persistent, water purifies, water grows, water heals.

So to the question. I want a water tattoo… In cuneiform? I’m not sure yet… ☺️
