LOVE Need help with ideas

[Naturally Baked]

So I'm going to be ending my big trip in spain and planning on going to LTW tattoo to get my first tattoo! Anyway, I want it to represent the fact that its both a big trip for me, and the fact that its the end of my adolescence pretty much. I'll be starting a graduate program in Sept.

Thoughts, suggestions, ideas please?
