I still want my first tattoo...I have tons of ideas and I've talked to Kat Von D cause I wanted her to do some portraits. Tried to talk her into coming to Langley or Vancity but Calgary was the closest she came. *sigh*

I have skin issues that makes people think it will be hard to tattoo me.

I've been thinking about getting a tattoo for the last 5 years but I am too chicken still. It's a big step since it would be a permanent thing. I thought about a small butterfly or some kind of flower near the middle of my upper back or upper arm. I know these probably seem like boring ideas but to me they are significant because the butterfly means coming out my cocoon and the flower means blossoming into a better person.

Tattoo! Tattoo!! You know you wanna.... ;)

I have three. My first was small due to cost and nerves. A Leo symbol and sun combo I drew, placed over my heart (as my heart makes the majority of decisions for me). The second, a fairy on my lower back, is also small and should have been bigger, but too big and it would have looked odd. The third is an all black dragon on my leg, about 6"x3".
What 'they' say about them being addictive is Oh So True!!
I also want a Kat Von D tat of my little sister on my upper right arm. I am saving my pennies (and right now I mean pennies!) so it will be a while...
I would love a nice big back piece (I think Chris Garver should do it). The fairy will likely get moved, she shouldn't be too hard to cover with something else. I wasn't thinking when I put her in that prime location. Not sure what I want back there. Thinking some "tree of life" type idea with aspects of important life-things. I've got the winning lotto ticket in my purse... *fingers crossed*
Also... yes, there's more... I know I want a black-less tattoo. Some phrase or design in a deep red put whereever it looks best.
OH my... so little body space, so little money. Lol!

You are absolutely right Dorine; what matters is that they mean something to YOU! If they do then it doesn't matter what others think of them, or if they are a "common" design or not. If they have personal meaning they are also unregretable.

Just make sure you choose a registered artist with a sanitary shop who has a good reputation, does good work, and makes you feel comfortable.

So Skye... what's the pic gonna be?? where?? and why??
