Howdy y'all

I just found this board (thanks Becca!) and think it's awesome we can all share the story of our ink. I already have several tats: a dragon on my left breast (who gaurds my heart), an angel looking into it's demon reflection on my right shoulder (reminding me of the duality of human nature), a raven flying in front of the moon on my left shoulder (one of my strongest totems), my wedding "ring", and an ivy vine twining around my left forearm (which is part of my wedding ring as it stands for fidelity and honor). I'll try to get DH to take pics so I can post them in my profile. I'm planning to get a rainbow colored puzzle piece on the inside of my right wrist so everyone who shakes my hand will know I have Asperger's (high-functioning autism). I also want to get a dancing kitties anklet because my cats are my life. When my weightloss is done and I'm through with PS, I want to get a large mechanical dragonfly on my back and a sun around my belly button (symbolizing my journey and transformation). And somewhere in there I really want to have a green apple sitting on large tome with a black serpent coiled around it (because without temptation we would never have had knowledge). I've definitely got the ink bug, but I always wait until the time is right because my tats all have personal significance and mark the milestones of my life and my driving forces.

yay!...Im so glad you stopped by and joined us!!! I think it's cool that you mentioned Asperger's...my husband had a very successful career in the air force and now works as a computer engineer and he has Asperger's also...lol...it kills me that it has such a stigma attached to it as I firmly believe it makes so many people exceptional at their jobs...sorry...i know Im rambling...just thought it was cool! yay and see you around the boards! xxxbecca

Yes, Aspies can have a full life and their "issues" can be wonderful assets in their jobs. Most of my "issues" are social, so I want people to see that up-front-and-center before they get offended or weirded out LOL.
