i wish i had waited a bit before i got my first one. in fact, i wish i had put more thought into many of them.
i've got some real garbage ink.

That is what cover ups are for. i just got my first tattoo covered up with an amazing american traditional eagle.

i have a few more pieces, and they all have meaning. and depending who i'm talking to, i'll tell them the meaning, or i'll just shrug and say "i thought i would look cool."

there are some days that i wish i had waited to get some big giant piece, and then other days i really like the patchwork quilt i'm making.

Hey Apollo...would love to see that cover up man. Sounds like a good one.

One because I was told not to get one.. But my next one is for my brother. This is his senior year in high School, he died tragically last month in a car wreck in my car on his way to church.

First one in memory of my mom getting cancer
Second one to redo/add to the first one
Third one in memory of a really good point in my life and all the experiences and people

original and the tracing

I have three... all of them reminders for myself

1) A yin yang on the outer aspect of my left wrist (it goes under my watch face). Symbolises the negative and positive balance in life. I had this following the completion of cancer treatment & breakup of a 10 year relationship. It was to remind me (& still is) that life is a balance ... I often find myself touching it to remember when things are tough!

2) a tribal band of an eagle at the base of my spine ... commonly referred to as a shag tag in the UK, although this is not what mine symbolises & I don't care. It symbolises the freedom that came with being discharged from the oncology clinic after five years. I was free from cancer, from hospitals & doctors. Occasionally it peeps from under a shirt & someone will ask about it & I don't mind telling.

3) The Chinese symbols traced down my mid-spine of the name Benjamin - to wear the baby I lost right next to me. I miscarried a year after treatment finished. I wanted it large enough to see if in a skinny top so had it tattooed over my heart at the back (plus where I had radiotherapy at the front may not have healed so well).

I doubt I'll have any more... these are enough to wear with pride. So much so I don't notice them until I'm asked!

I always wanted one but never got round to it...

had an op on my shoulder (cancer scare) which left a big nasty scar so my kids paid for me to have a tattoo to cover it for a mothers day gift .. it represents my family , it was to have wedding rings and dates but things had changed a few days before i had it done .. the 4 rose buds are for my kids.

First one was just because I could (at 18) The second one I thought would be fun. It's Hobbes chasing his tail. I sort of want another one. I can't decide. I'd like it to mean something and not be something generic.

Because after some really sh*tty events in my life I finally wanted to make me happy...it worked
