My Tattoo (Wolveren This is for You)

My Tattoo - Tattoo I designed myself and is located on the outside left calf. Pheonix signifies living on in the next generation (our children). Apple blossoms are a sign of their birth and fertility. Flames over one apple blossom is the "burning love" of parent for child. Chinese inscriptions are the zodiac signs for my children. Dragon, Horse, Rooster and Ram (Pig sign and name of youngest to be added). Black & White tattoo.

As someone asked to see my tattoo I am starting this discussion to post the picture of the tattoo. It's a black & white tatt (grey as well). It's the length of my left, outer calf from just below the knee to just above the ankle. It was done by Gord from Body & Soul Tattoo who has over 20 years experience in tattoo art. Phoenix - a symbol of living on through my children and the future generations. A piece of me will always be a part of them even when I have passed from this life in the future. Apple Blossoms - A symbol of my births of my children and fertility of humanity (in all aspects). Set Ablaze Blossom - My undying and burning love for my children as a mother and parent. Chinese zodiacs - Each of their zodiac symbols and a representation of their personalities. Names - The names of each of my children. To Add: My youngest son's name and zodiac will be added in the new year. His zodiac is the year of the Pig while my other kids are Dragon, Ram, Horse and Rooster. I'll probably add color at that point as well, particularly the blossoms.

Holy Camole!!!! That is totally awesome! It's perfect! You are a true artist like I thought you would be since you designed it yourself. I LOVE it!!! I totally love that Phoenix art! The composition in itself is totally fluid! I can feel the fire from your design. It's totally made out of love! I'll post a tattoo I designed years ago for my buddy! But I think it's not so clear like that photo you have, I'll try to take a shot at the tattoo next time my buddy drops by the house. Thanks for sharing!!! cheers!

lol, I'm a glad you like it. If you also noticed, the flow is the shape of an "S" which is also the first letter of my name! A clever little innuendo that usually ends up having to be pointed out.

Yes I noticed the flow but have not guessed it to be the first letter of your name since I can't tell if your username is close to your real name. Overall it's truly a Splendid design! Cheerios!!!

And oh by the way! I'm totally grateful for your discussion. Making all that fuzz to put my name on the title. That is really flattering. I don't get that much attention you know. Since it looks like the discussion was meant only for me. What a greedy lil imp I am. Lol. Thanks again! you my dear have made my day!
