    My Uncle Darrel, the man who changed my life and made me the person I am today, passed away recently. I got a tattoo in remembrance of him. My Uncle was a recovering alcoholic and devout coffee drinker (several pots a day) he always had a coffee cup in his hand. The word Serenity represents the serenity prayer, a prayer he taught me, a prayer that got him and myself through a lot. It's the tattoo that has the most meaning to me.

    I only have one so far, want more though. MIne is a butterfly which doesn't have much meaning to me, except the body of it is a cancer ribbon that is half pink, for my grandma who I lost to breast cancer, and half grey, for my dad who I lost to lung cancer.

    Cherries for a very special woman who said she wanted to buried with them in her hair, on my nape.

    Amazing Grace down my thigh, which really that picture makes me look 300 lbs, but I'm really not, so I just call it a bad shot. It's just awesome..

    I have four tattoos...

    First, a 'tramp stamp' of a native-art inspired butterfly, that I designed when I was 15, and got when I was 19. Butterflies symbolize a lot of things for me, the greatest of which is Freedom. Beauty, grace, delicacy, and spirit are the other things that they make me think of.

    Second, an Alpha & Omega done just above my shoulderblades, which I got on my 22nd birthday. Alpha and Omega symbolize the Beginning and the End, and are sometimes used to symbolize God.

    Third, my favourite, a large scrawl of words in Greek, on upper right quadrant of my back, which reads:
    Freedom through Submission (or Charity, the meaning is desputable)
    Power through Trust
    Love through Faith

    Fourth, my most recent, my medic-alert on my left wrist. I have a couple allergies that can either kill me or get me hospitalized at the very least, and I am allergic to my allergy bracelet. Seriously. Pic of this tattoo is in my profile.

    Edit to add:

    My next two tattoos are going to be very meaningful for me as well- the small one will be on my foot, and will read "Love is the Protest", and the other will cover the whole left side of my back, and it's a tree that I designed a few years ago and have been too chicken-*kitten* and broke to get. It'll be a $1500 piece.

    This thread makes me want more tattoos!

    I have:

    1. Left Shoulder: My name mixed up to look like a design--I bought a painting of it at an art fair and had it made into a tattoo.

    2. Center between shoulders/under neck: butterfly--went thru a tough period in my life and got it when I 'emerged' from that time.

    3. Right foot--a swirly vine that I drew with stars and two hearts--one for my grandmother that I was very close to and one for my little brother that died of SIDS at 4 months

    4. Inner left ankle: A Kanji symbol that means 'love conquers all' (and yes, I did my research!)

    My daughter and I have the Kanji symbol for strength. She had cancer as a baby. We did the tattooes together to signify our relationship and all we have been through together!
