Tattoos

I do have one and I am planning on getting a couple more. I know there is one simple one Mi Vida Loca....my life is crazy so that was suitable I thought LOL. The other one I want I was thinking of a wrist one...simple, there is a Inuit cutting tool that is made for the woman called a ULU, its half moon shaped and used for cutting skins, cleaning them and preparing food. My grandmother had one, so the ULU would compose the band...and I was looking for the meaning of Always Learning in Inutitut. The Inuit language is more of a descriptive one in some ways so I would have to find the meaning for as learning throughout my life as a continuous thing. I learned a little bit about the Inuit language in school through a guest speaker and if I continue on I will be learning to speak it as part of the course. Its a very emotional thing for me because of the loss of our peoples cultures, traditions and languages through oppression. You don't really see it until you start looking at it properly.
