    Finally Decided 4 days ago

    I have finally decided that there are two things out there that I want on my body permanently.

    I used to S.I. (that means I was a cutter) and I’d really like to get petals tattooed over my scars, because the last time I cut, the fellow I was dating confronted me about it and to prepare for the confrontation, I wrote, “Be Strong, Little Flower,” on my hand. I love the flower imagery and I’d like to get something beautiful to cover up something that reminds me of an ugliness I used to have.

    The second tattoo I’d like is hopefully going to be placed under my left breast. It’s a quotation from Le Petit Prince that reads, “L’essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.” The gist of this line is that one cannot see the important things in life just using her eyes—she has to look with her heart too. I always thought this story was incredibly beautiful.



    Everything is set... 4 days ago

    The design is almost ready and the date is set: my 30th birthday will be the birth of my first tattoo. It will be extra special, because I designed the basics myself and the tattoo artist will work it out. As I loved every piece of his work I’ve seen up till now, I’m confident it will become perfect.

    The yin-yang sign with 3 is the sign for BDSM and the snake stands for eternal renewal (if that is proper English).

    the parents are not happy... 6 days ago

    lol, my mums reaction to the news I have booked an appointment to get my tattoo was the biggest cringe ever and ‘Oh nooooo’ – and when I told my dad about the overreaction he claimed he knew nothing about me getting a tattoo (something I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned, do you ever get the feeling no one is LISTENING to you?) He said something about ‘yeah, 10 years ago. I thought that had all blown over’ – as if it were a silly teenage fad. Nope, it’s something I’ve always wanted and I wanted to be sure of the design. See? Sensible. He has since been sitting in a quiet disapproval.

    Hellooo, this is the 21st Century, tattoos can be beautiful and meaningful, stylish, and even feminine – they are not reserved only for sailors, soldiers, jailbirds, metal heads, and lads hanging around on estates with menacing looking dogs…

    Yeah… also, I’m 24 – I think I’ll do as I please now, thank you!

    Let me live!

    Anchors Away 6 days ago

    (The position, not the quote.)

    I found it funny that when I asked the 43T community: “would it be a good idea to get a tattoo on my forearm” someone mentioned (in example) how a prospecting employer wouldn’t turn away a veteran with tattoos. I find that funny because I am a veteran, albeit scarcely dedicated to this country.

    Anna Griffith asks, “I want something patriotic, small and feminine. I was thinking of a heart-shaped American flag with "God Bless America" in script, or maybe a yellow ribbon with "Support our Troops" written on it. Any ideas? I'm going to get it on my hip.”
