It's Permanent!

Here's my tattoo . . .

I am so in love with it. Right now it kind of hurts a little bit, but I'm trying not to be a wuss, ha ha ha. Some day when I'm old and I'm getting a spongebath some nursing home worker is going to think it's really cool.

You are a brave soul friend! I like the butterfly.

A butterfly, a lovely symbol of freedom and joy. A symobl of peace, in which it is eternally joined.

Great color and I love the "hidden" symbol, the peace symbol. Many people would look and see a butterfly, and they would, no problem with that. I enjoy the effort and meaning in your art. Nothing irks me more than a "conveyor belt" tattoo. Unless it has a special meaning to the person. And as was said, welcome to the world of ink.

I don't like it. Don't take that as an insult, though. Tatoos aren't really my thing, and tatoos of butterflys with peace signs really make me wanna gag. Sorry. You might think a ring hanging out of the left side of my lip is tacky.

That's why I say this: I'm glad you like it. I'm glad it makes you happy. That part, I do like about it.

Oh, and the above link is particularly germane for these lower back tattoos.

Nice artwork, Tex. Once you have one, you always want more. I'm designing wedding ring tattoos for my wife and I for our third anniversary. I will post pictures once we've had them done.

Happy New Year and all the best for 2005

Cheers,

Cooooooooooool! Remember when you said you werent cool? Girl, this is totally cool!

Man, it's really nice, i usually dont like the color tatoos, but i like this one with the diffrent shades in the colors. It makes it soft on the eye as opposed to the horrible ones that jump at your face lol!

Congratulations on your piece of bodyart;) btw, how long did it take? Did it hurt??

Nah, not brave. Thanks.

Raven:

I'm really proud of the peace sign. That was my idea.

Thank you so much. I know the butterfly is so common, but I think my tat is still pretty unique . . . I really like it. I appreciate your comment.

Hmmm . . . probably something that would have been better kept to yourself. You are a brilliant girl, but damn if you don't have a problem with tact . . . that will come back to bite you in the ass later in life.

That's why I say this: I'm glad you like it. I'm glad it makes you happy. That part, I do like about it.

Thanks. I DO like it.

I love that one.

Thank you. I like that it is soft and girly but then has the cool scroll work to balance it out.

Thanks.

I am already considering another one. I think your designing a tat for your wife is a beautiful thing . . . I look forward to seeing the pictures.

Happy New Year and all the best for 2005

And to you, too.

I am really pleased with it . . . I think it is very me.

It took about 45 minutes and it just felt like being scratched . . . not unpleasant at all. I didn't mind it. Heh. The tongue piercing wasn't all that painful, either. I was worried about it hurting, but neither were that bad.

Gee, i didnt know you had a tongue piercing as well! Hehe you are a rocky chick Tex

I've considered having a tatoo some day, but i'm scared of the pain. I mean if i'm even scared of wearing lenses dont expect me to go and have a tatoo, right?

islandgurl: He he he . . . I got my tongue pierced and my tattoo the same day. I'm only two weeks away from being able to change out the barbell in my tongue (it's a pink starter barbell) and I'm excited about that. I'll have to post a pic with my skull and crossbones barbell.

I was worried that getting a tattoo would be really painful, but I didn't find it to be bad at all . . . I think it depends on where you have it put on your body . . . I kind of liked the sensation, though. Don't be scared! he he he

Tex and Island - My first tattoo took about 40 minutes and really hurt a lot. My second tattoo took about 3 hours and hardly hurt at all. I think the first hurt because I was so nervous all the way through it, whereas with the second, I knew exactly what I was in for and was fully mentally prepared. Both were on my arms, in similar spots. I've got designs for a couple more as well as the wedding ring tat... I can hardly wait!

That's really interesting . . . I hadn't considered that before . .. I guess I was pretty calm when I got mine . . .

Sounds awesome.

I think tattoos are a good way to express one's self, of course some people go overboard, (or some say they do but who are we do judge) My tattoos consist of my family crest, a symbol of paradox. a sword and shield tribute to my first son. My nest will be a tribute to both Operation Iraqi Freedom and my youngest son, ( whom I left when he was only three months old) It will have Operation Iraqi Freedom in a curve. Under it it will say 2003-2004. Under that it will have my son's name (Patrick) a small symbol of Greek Tradegy faces, ( both happy and sad) Happy to serve and sad to leave. The whole thing will be engulfed in flames to symbolize the pain of seperation and war.
Of course we have another baby on the way but since I dont know the gender yet I have no Idea. But we are really praying for a girl. But the "three muskateers" would be cool though.
