How to get a tattoo that has meaning by Sarah

"It was a tattoo that I had thought about and wanted, without any doubts, for about two years before I committed to it. "

How I did it: Most importantly, I picked something that was important to me in my life and came up with a way to symbolize it. I started thinking about this tattoo while I was in high school and ended up feeling confident enough about it to get it my freshman year of college. I think it was good for me to sit on the idea for awhile because it made my belief in what it meant stronger. If I had doubted it at all, I would not have gotten it.

Lessons & tips: Think about your tattoo's design and meaning. Waiting for awhile before getting it can make all the difference between an exciting thing that is later regretted or doing something that will make you feel complete.

How I did it: First I had to decide what I wanted, then after deciding to get "Fully Alive" on my wrist, I started saving up money.  After getting almost 120$ saved my best friend and I went to the tattoo parlor and got it all worked out and came back the following day and got it. Read how I did it…

    i have one tattoo and my mom, sister and sister in law all have the same one (my mom has it in the exactly the same spot). it was something we did on the fly but something that we all wanted and knowing that i’m 3 hours away from my mom and 5 hours away from my sister we’re all connected in some way.

    This is not a priority right now, so I’m going to take it off my list. I still think I’d like to do it, but who knows when!

    turtle island 2 years ago

    i got a tattoo that represents the native american creation myth called turtle island. the tattoo is a tribal turtle, surrounded by a halfcircle of waves on the bottom, and a half circle of trees on the top, representing the ocean from which the turtle emerged, and the land which was formed on his back!

    Mid-Back, Hurt Like Hell 2 years ago

    I just got my second tattoo, first one with real meaning for me. At the moment it isn’t complete, I sat for three hours and just couldn’t hang on any longer, but I’m going back soon to complete it. The guys at the shop said I took it like such a champ, my next piercing is free. :D I’ll take a picture when it’s finished.

    Getting another! 3 years ago

    I’ve once again opened pandora’s box and decided to get another tattoo… where to start?? It has to be original, meaningful and in a great spot. No clues yet. My friend a. and I are planning to get them together. I’ll have to call the guy who designed and did my last one. i think i have a photo of it somewhere – its a ‘k’ on the inside of my left wrist.

    something basic, forever and ME.

    good-ness.
