that is soooo cool!
i reckon you're going to have to go for something fairly abstract to fit all that in
like a stylized sun with rays coming out of it - representing the new day, the future and possibly the fact that your bf lights up your life
or an animal that signifies something to you perhaps? don't the chinese classify the year of your birth by an animal? animals in stories?
when maoris do tattoos i think the first tattoo you get represents where you are and where you're from.. plus they got another tattoo after each battle they were in, which is cool. Try a web search on "maori tattoo" - it's ok they use modern instruments these days, not sharpened bones
or the celtic kind of symbols are pretty cool too, and definitely symbolize something ... I'm just not quite sure what at the moment! try a web search on "celtic knot"
what about stuff like what country you're from, music taste and strongly held opinions?
