Even more than watching it, I love being the one getting tattooed. Especially when you can't see the finished product til its done. The guy could be scratching anything and there would be no way to know. Imagine... asking for a rose and getting Homer Simpson permanently etched on your back!!
Now I might be talking like I'm a big collector (I think they call people who have alot of body art collectors), but I'm not. I have a whopping 2 tattoos. But I'm sure I'll get more.
The 2 I have were chosen to represent the two most important things in my life.
First and foremost is my Faith. I had a cross put on my foot as a reminder that my tab has been paid in full. I find it easier to be forgiving knowing that I have been forgiven.
My latest Tat represents my family. I "borrowed" the idea from... you guessed it... Miami Ink. I used my family's birth flowers and had it customized just for me.
The daisy in the centre is the flower for April. Both J and I are born in April. On the right is a carnation. This one is for January. Our AJ is a New Years baby. To the left is a violet. This is February's flower. Keats and Bella Rue both fall in this month. The petal that appears to be falling off represents BL, who is also a February child. The petal is actually not falling off, but hanging on firmly. This image has been very comforting for me. This is how I view us. Each flower is beautiful individually. But only when the flowers are put together do they compliment eachother perfectly.
Anyone else have a tattoo story? I'd love to hear it!!!!

Hmmm, I don't have a tattoo story, but I would like to think that, me being an April baby as well, and a close dear friend, LOL, am also represented on your back..., so from now on, when you tell your story, please include me, HA HA....
Love you.

I have to say that I love tatoos that have special meanings to them. On my lower back is the Chinese symbol for peace, which is something that I strive for on a daily basis and I have kind of a keltic toe ring tatoo (no meaning there whatsoever, actually thinking of having that one removed).
Love both of yours Jo. I'm actually thinking about getting the cross on my foot too, that or the Jesus fish, can't decide.
...now thinks the heart with suction cup arrow on her ass was a little self indulgent! will have to come up with a good story! ...
