Hello, my lovely humans whom I adore, you all good? Fabulous. In a weird turn of events, Melbourne is dipping into cold (no, not just colder – actively cold) weather . . . which means through no fault of my own I’ve been making weird choices. It’s not me, it’s mother nature.
So the other day the lovely Priya and I had what was meant to be a blogging day, which soon devolved into something entirely other. Our initial plan was to do a cafe hop wherein we would change our outfits each stop and film a lookbook. It was going to be productive as fuck, fun and we’d get some great content out of it. Did that happen?
Of course not, is the title of this post anything to do with a lookbook?
We woke up, it was freezing and we both agreed that . . . changing clothes in this weather was just too much effort. So we decided to meet up, go to a pretty cafe for breakfast and have a general blog planning day. Edit some things together, brainstorm some ideas, take some outfit photos and just have a chill one. Did we do that?
No, is the title of this post “A Casual Melbourne OOTD”?
So what did we do, you ask? Well, take a look at the title, kids – we went and got us some (somewhat) spontaneous tattoos! Because we promote thought out, responsible actions on this blog! If you want more deets on what we got up to, as well as an incredibly cute and well-edited video and a little playlist to inspire you to get up to some spontaneous fun, make sure you head over to Priya’s blog post!
In our defense, both of us have already got our fair share of tattoos, as well as more than our fair share of “to-get” tattoo ideas. So while getting the actual tattoos was a spontaneous decision, the images we got weren’t. Story behind our latest brilliant decision done, let’s get into what they mean!
First up, we’ll tackle Priya’s – she got a super cute little hourglass to represent her grandma. I’m going to let her explain it herself . . .
Priya’s Tattoo & Meaning
My Tattoo & Meaning
The main meaning behind this is isolation, as weird as that sounds. A lot of the time, especially when I was younger, I felt very disconnected. Like I was interacting with the world from behind a plane of glass. I could see it, it could see me, but we weren’t quite occupying the same space. I couldn’t quite understand it the way everyone else seemed to.
It felt like I was always sitting from behind a window.
I’ve been wanting this tattoo for a few years now, but I could never decide on the exact way I wanted it to be portrayed. Essentially, I wanted a window, but I couldn’t decide if I wanted it to be really ornate, or something representative, or with a girl leaning out of it . . . Over the past few months, I’d kind of settled on this idea mainly because it ties in really well to my other tattoos and because it also has the look of a tombstone. Be still my gothic heart.
Alright kiddies, I hope you enjoyed this post – I definitely enjoyed the ‘lil day trip that inspired! Make sure you do head over to Priya’s blog to watch the video of the day and grab some tunes to inspire you to do some spontaneous fun yourself! What did you think of our tattoos? Have you ever got a random tattoo yourself? Let me know your thoughts down below!

I love when people get tattoos with special meaning behind them, it makes them very special and I love reading stories about them. Your tattoos are always so good girl, I love this one also. xx
Thank you so much, Azra! I really love looking at the meanings behind peoples tattoos as well 🙂 xx
We love a spontaneous tattoo trip !! These are both so beautiful, I love the idea behind yours (indeed, be still my gothic heart) xx
Girl, right?! I love a good spontaneous ink. And thank you so much lovelyy xx
Ah the tattoos you got are so pretty!
Thank you sweetie! x
I have a couple spontaneous tattoos myself, they’re always the best ones because the story of how you ended up getting them is always the best
Right? There’s always a fun lil story behind them 🙂 x
Wow I loved both tattoos so much 😍 Beautiful meanings. I also love the idea about them. I can relate to your story of your tattoo as well. Sometimes it feels like I’m living in another world.
Thank you, gorgeous girl! And right? It can be so hard to relate and actually connect to other people x
I love both of your tattoos & it was nice hearing the stories behind them.
Shortly after my 18th bday I spontaneously decided to get a tattoo with my friend (an infinity symbol on my wrist) & I still love it!

Wish I had enough money to get spontaneous tattoos… sadly that isn’t the case
Thanks girl! Honestly, it’s pretty rare for me to as well x_x
It looks so beautiful and definitely will fit in with all your other tattoos! My one and only tattoo was spontaneous – I knew what I wanted but had never had the courage to get it until I walked past a tattoo parlour in London. My parents were not very impressed but eh I was 18. xx
Aww thank you so much Hannah 🙂 Honestly, I admire your selfcontrol LOL – after one I was totally hooked and just kept on getting em xx
If I was not such a wimp, I definitely would have but I hate pain! xx
Aww both of the tattoos are so cute & just the perfect size! I love the meaning behind both, too. ♡
Thank you so much lovely Hunida! x
I just love your depth, Mia. You are a rare gem… I always appreciate your thoughts, insight, adventures…Oh & this tattoo is just beautiful!

My word! This is absolutely beautiful! I love it when people share the meanings of their tatts and I’m lowkey convinced to get one myself now💕
