Maybe I actually got them posted up right this time, lol.

Thanks! I love lilies, so I have a few tattoos that involve them. It doesn't look as great as it did in that picture since that was taken when it was about 3 days old, but it's still looking pretty good for a foot tattoo lol.

Wow, that's some pretty intricate work. And I love the polish on your toes!

Thank you! I love all of your tattoos too XD I think the nail polish is China Glaze shocking pink.

I bet that would look freaking awesome underneath the black crackle nail polish.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE China Glaze. Does look like the Shocking Pink from their Ink collection. (I have over 70 bottles! O_O)

Love all your tats, especially the sleeve. I've been wanting to get a half sleeve Maneki Neko... <3 Awesome ink!

Those cherry blossoms are really pretty. Do you have a time frame for getting it finished?

I love your nail polish too! And I kinda like both of those, lol. Kudos on going up on the ankle. I've had a few brush my ankle and it was super ouchie.

Haha. "Eventually"

My tattoo artist lives two hours away. It's been a work in progress for a few years now!

That's the same time frame I have for my sleeve lol. If I'm eating right and staying hydrated I can heal tattoos fairly well fairly quickly (like the fairly large one I got Sunday that feels pretty fine today), but it's sitting there and actually getting the tattoo and how much that hurts, and the first few days that normally keep me from going back on a regular basis.

It was a little ouchie but nothing too bad. Getting my daughters name on my rib was WAY more painful

That's a really unique tattoo, I like it.

i have eight and pretty much love them all.

here are a few of them.



my most recent tattoo, my 'tramp stamp' as my boy calls it. it's the symbol of the sicilian flag, where i spent 6 months a couple years ago. i fell in love with the mediterranean sea there.


my next to most recent tattoo, in its healing stages, which were rough. i kept banging this on everything and it's still not really healed properly, 6 mos later.

it's a symbol that pervaded my meditating mind while sitting in a 10 day silent vipassana meditation retreat in tuscany, italy.



it says
love.
give.

in my own handwriting. theyre commands to myself.


can't see it too well but it's the sanskrit writing for the pali word (pali, the lost language of the buddha) 'anicca.' the nature of impermanence. the central idea in the dhamma philosophy.



my key, my first big tattoo. well, big for me. shortly after its re-inking.
it's a very long story behind it.



i have this tattooed to the right of my pubic triangle. in my no no area. also known as the yes yes area. it was my first tattoo. the scene in the book and movie where he's repeatedly asking 'who ARE you?'

i also have a one-lined simple dark gray tattoo that runs from deep in my pubic hair up my belly, to my belly button and up my chest, around my right breast. it is a vine, with a few curlicues around it.
you can see a little bit of the top of it here



it makes mah boobs look bigger.


i want to get 'tutto é perfetto così come é' below my tramp stamp. it means 'everything is perfect as it is' in italian. to remind me to stop freaking out.


all my tattoos are reminders to myself to be a better person, to think of the grander scheme. to remind myself of my tiny place in the universe, yet still my importance being a small part of the grandest thing in existence... the universe.

i probably wont stop etching those messages into my skin until i get it. meaning i'll probably be covered in tats someday. ha.

everything is perfect as it is!
