Every day a teen excitedly awaits their 18th birthday.

One of my personal favorite things you can do when you turn 18 is get a tattoo, this article is here to help you with ideas for your first or maybe even second tattoo! We all want something we won't regret, it's time-consuming and stressful picking something perfect.

Here are some ideas:

1. Dates


From a sibling's birthday to the day you lost a loved one. Roman numeral tattoos aren't only classy but they're the biggest go to! We all want to remember the important events that affected our lives and there is no better way to say you love somebody then putting an important date to them on your body forever. It's meaningful, simple, gorgeous and isn't going overboard for your first tattoo.

2. Quotes


I know sounds kind of "Basic" but a quote that reminds you each and every day to keep moving forward or that somebody loves you can make your day, everyday. A quote like " the sun loved the moon so very much that he died every morning to let her breathe" or "fall down seven times, stand up eight." They're simple, small but meaningful. Or quotes that help you remember loved ones like "never run fast than your guardian angel can fly."

3. Matching tattoos


Weather its with a best friend, boyfriend, parent or sibling these tattoos keep you connected even if you're thousands of miles apart. Sibling tattoos like "together forever never apart." "Maybe by distance but never by heart." Are things that will remind you of a beautiful sibling when you feel alone. Or even a similar tattoo or the sign of a loved one and vise versa.

4. Small and simple


From hearts to peace signs simple may just be the way to go! A small tattoo can be simple but elegant! They can also hold a lot of meaning such as the wave pattern of somebody telling you they love you. Another idea is a small heart on your shoulder or simple on the back of your neck. the possibilities are endless with small tattoos and the places they can be put are endless too. They can be places behind your ear, on your torso, legs, anywhere really.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
