Don't be surprised when you don't think you see me next week...

I have been here in myLot for about 3 years now - I think - and I've ALWAYS looked the same. People know me by my icon, saturn is equavalent to reinydawn. We've been inseperable - literally. Well, in a little over a week I will be getting a new tattoo and I'm going to try it on for a while, see if I like it or if I need to go back to my saturn tattoo. Here's a picture of what the new tattoo will look like. It's the shape of a dove with the colors of the American flag - stars on top, stripes on bottom. I've wanted this tattoo for almost 7 years, I've had this fake one since July 4, 2002. I'll be getting my real one on July 3, 2009! This tattoo was inspired for me by the attack on America on 9/11. Within days of that event, I wanted an American flag tattoo, but I didn't want a flat one. I wanted a "wavy" flag. I was looking everywhere for something like what I wanted, and did see it once on a truck. Then on the following July 4th, all the kids were getting fake tattoos that had a patriotic theme. When I saw one of the kids run by with this particular one, I went up to the lady that was handing them out (to the kids) and told her why I wanted one. She gladly gave me one. I've kept this in my jewelery box all this time because I haven't had the money for it and I never really knew where I wanted to put it. I mean, it's an American flag, you gotta put it somewhere respectful. While on our honeymoon, almost 4 years ago (July 1 is our anniversary) we saw a girl with a butterfly tattoo on her back, but not centered. It was about waist high, and off to the right a little bit. She, of course was pretty young, wearing a bikini, and looked great with it there. I think that's where I'll be putting my new one! My sisters had made an appointment to get tattoos done on July 3rd, and when I found out about it I had them check to see if I could get mine then too. We're making a "sister day" out of it! So, as soon as it's "picturable" I'll probably change my icon here. Don't be startled, it's still the same me!!! I know some people change theirs all the time, but this is usually something I wouldn't do.
