Tats.. Where & Why ?

HA Black Panther (leopard not jag) is my Key Totem as well....Oddly enough though I dont want it tattooed on my body...Not all of my tats will be of spiritual nature (the two I have are the symbol for strength/power and a smiling sun) but some of them will be..One of the ones I'm HOPING to get this yr is a Lotus flower with the OM symbol (among other things)..It'll be probably a good 7" in width and depending on whehter or not I add to the design or change it again etc it should be about 5 or 6" tall....

I have three, all with deep inner meaning. My first one was created when I was 14. My very best friend, and first person in my life I ever truly connected with, loved tigers. I moved a lot, and could never maintain friendships, so I chose a tiger cub in the tall grass. Its black and white, on my right calf. The baby tiger reminds me of the childhood friendship, and how tender of a soul I have always had. It also reminds me that I never have to fully grow up. My second was created after I left my husband. I had lived in a shell for 5 years, and felt the need to break out on my own. I've always had a complex about myself, and never felt noticed, so I chose my ear. I've always been a believer in Christ, and remember a scripture that tells me he is the vine and I am the branch. So a elegant vine drapes my left ear. My third was created out of one part addiction, one part anger and hatred, and one part fear. I got four months after my vine, because I NEEDED THE INK!!!, inflicting pain on myself has always been an outlet for intense emotion, so I figured the top of my foot should suffice me for a while. I chose a frog, again because of my spiritual beliefs, F.R.O.G. stands for Faithfully Rely On God. I chose a poisonous tree frog, because every relationship I begin turns out poisonous. There I go with a long winded post again. Phew....

I have a strawberry with a set of lips behind it kissing. Just like my nickname. My strawberrykisses tattoo signifies a time in my life when things started to change for me. I was on social assistance and raising my son rather than going out and working. I decided I didn't want to live that way anymore so when I got the tattoo it was kind of my good bye to the life I didn't want to live and I have not been living that way ever since.

I only have one tattoo and that is of a small flower which I used to draw after my signature when I was younger and that is on my bottom as I was underage (14) when I had it doen so wanted it somewhere where if I had a bikini on it wouldn't be seen as my parents would have gone crazy. I love tattooes but they are not for me. My friend when she saw a birthday card I had received with a wolf scene fell in love with it and had it tattooed across her whole back. It is a work of art and looks fantastic. Ellie :D

i am more into fake tattoos, henna tattoos, rub-on tattoos, sticky tattoos, and wearable tattoos. i dont think i can handle permanent tattoos. i would get sick of them and regret i did them. i usually get my astrological sign, Lion. or the chinese astrology sign of Dragon. or just some interest design that doesnt really mean anything, just for a fun look.

me personally i dont have any tattoos but i were to ever get one it would be of something that means something important to me like something to remind me of my nonno or something else! and i would probably put it in a place that can be hidden easily
