get more tattoos

i always loved and wanted tattoos. to me its like permanent jewellery and pieces of art which you carry on your body. the body is the temple and all the temples i’ve seen (from churches to buddhist) are ornamentally and tastefully decorated.

i got my first tattoo as soon as it was legal to do it. so the day i turned 18 i got a rose on right my hand.
second one is a chinese symbol for the year of the dragon, which i belong to, on my right shoulder blade, on my 21st birthday.
third is the initial of my name on my left ankle when i was in the caribbean, when i turned 25.
fourth is a small spiral on my left shoulder when i turned 27.
fifth is the star of macedonia, in honor of my hero alexander the great. i did it on my 30th birthday.
the sixth tattoo got bigger and more colourful. on my 35th birthday i did my whole left sleeve with a scene of the universe, the full moon, birds and stars, a floating lotus on water and the symbol of life according to the ecuadorian shamans.

next one will be on my 36th birthday, a few kitten paw prints… i have to decide where exactly… 1 week ago

so far i only have a small sunflower and a really small paw print. i want california poppies on my ankle, and a huge tattoo of space covering my back, its probably gonna cost like $1000… 2 months ago

I have 7. Some are small others on the medium to large scale. I’d like to start working on my sleeve again… it’s just with 3 kids and a husband it’s hard to find the time and they money. More-so the time considering I have a cousin that is licensed and gives me a great deal on my work. Each of the 7 pieces have meaning to me and I’d like to keep it that way. Not sure what’s next but we’ll soon see. =) 3 months ago

I got my amazing new arm tattoo in June. It took 5.5 hours. It’s beautiful and I love it. 5 months ago
