This is the outline of mine. It'll look better when its filled, but it is so spendy!
I like this one! You're not thinking of filling it with colour, are you? =/


everything is relative and contradictory ~

I do like the idea of getting similar themed tattoos when u get a married. That is romantic...

I also thought the dragon on the arm looked cool.

I would like to get another. I do think you can have too many but something else. I dont' like the tribal tats either.

Anyone else got a tat? post a pic~!!
It is isn't it? Thanks!

I've been thinking about getting an ancestral tattoo. Just one maybe on my arm that symbolizes my heritage.

The only problem is I'm a mutt!

I'm Scottish, Irish, Norwegian, French, and Cherokee. I'm imagining something with a Celtic or Pictish design with Viking Runes to start with. Maybe family names in each language. For example My Cherokee ancestors name in Cherokee script, Norwegian in Runes, and Scotch/Irish in Gaelic.

And my second choice would most likely be a phrase in Kanji "Masakatsu Agatsu" meaning "True Victory is Self Victory". Which would be a constant reminder to myself to keep up the unending effort to improve myself everyway that I can.

Well, I'm planning two tattoes...
First, late this year, I'm getting the same wings HYDE has on my upper back.
And my girlfriend drew a picture in class last year... and we thought it was cool, and it was that song that brought us together, kinda odd, but it's cool.
he pic was a red rose lying sideways with blood running from it with the words
"Art of Life" written along the stem..... it was serious cool, we're getting matching Art of Life tattoes after we get married!!!

Exclamation Realistic Artist Wanted For Special Tattoo!! - 08-06-2007, 02:36 AM

warning!!: long entry!!

My great-grandmother died this year. As none of you may know[hehe], my birthday is on June 14th and this year i celebrated my sweet sixteen. my real b-day feel on a weekday so we ended up celebrating on June 16th. me and my best friend were in the swimming pool when i noticed my grandparents and mom had left.

my great g-ma had been in a nursing home since March and not doing well and tonight[june 16] she was horrible. june 17th was father's day. me and my best friend woke up and my dad took her home while my mom was at my g-ma's house. my dad said it was because she needed to be with her dad on father's day. i was playing ddr when my mom came home and she asked if my dad said anything. i said no. then she told me my great g-ma had died that morning[june 17].

to tell you the truth, i wasn't surprised; i saw it coming. it wasn't until i was alone or at the funeral when it hit me. i felt so bad. i never went to see her while she was in the nursing home. but she was in bad condition, can you blame me?

i have this beautiful blouse she made me, it's jade green with black piping and a mandarin collar. she never got to see me wear it. i want to cry everyday because i think getting to see me would have help her a little bit. i'm not try to brag or sound conceited, but she loved me more than anything, as i did her. she was a very strong woman, lived to be 89. she sewed anytime she could and was a celebrity in her small town because of it.

so in her memory, i want to get a tattoo of a sewing needle with a thread going through the eye, making a heart with a cursive 'E'[her name is Estelle]. i want it to look like it's going through my skin. here's a crappy example i concocted.

heart.jpg

can anyone maybe make a good realistic looking sketch for me? it would really mean a lot to me.

thanks,
Kelly
