Well, I did it!
I have wanted a tattoo for a long time. I spent a good deal of time thinking about it, deciding what the image would be and asking many people with tattoos to recommend an artist. Last Friday, 3/7/08 I finally did it. It took 3 and 1/2 hours (not counting the two 15 minute breaks) to get it done. It's beautiful! I will post pics once it is healed.
Woo-hoo!
Hi Becca,
After looking at what felt like a million images, I decided I wanted 3 things:
1. It had to be big enough (and wide enough) to cover my grody scar
2. I wanted lots of color
3. I wanted elements that were significant to me. In particular, these:
- I had a strange experience once when I fell asleep while writing in my journal. I woke up to find that I'd written 2 pages that I had no memory of. One part of it said that the message for me was the yin/yang symbol
- I love rocks, gems and jewelry making
So, what I have is ribbons of color surrounding cabochons of pale blue with the yin/yang symbol top center.
Thanks for asking
