I want to see your TATS!

InnerFatGirl

Got this one last August. Took me 5 years to get it because I was underage then and the tattoo I originally wanted was way out of my price range and ultimately I changed the design altogether (yes I designed it) to just be a simple symbol.

I'm an artist and ended up unable to draw due to years of worsening carpal tunnel that made holding a pencil painful. New Year's Eve 2009 I had not only Carpal Tunnel surgery but three other surgeries on my hand and arm which has left me with scars on my palm, under two fingers, and a huge one on my elbow. But, I was able to draw again. Last summer I began having pain in my thumb and in December I had my fifth surgery.

The palette represents me as an artist, the hole which is supposed to look like someone shot the palette and made it bleed represents the fact I've been crippled by so much in my drawing hand but even if someone shot me I would not stop doing what I love. The word art is done in an Art Nouveau font because it's my favorite style/movement of art. I basically title it "shot in the art". It's on my left wrist because I am left-handed and my wrist was where it all started.

OMFG, I love this.

Seeing unique, beautiful tattoos makes me so happy.

fresh, red and swollen. But I am SO in love with it.

And, for the record, it hurt like a BIG DOG. Even with Vaso-caine, there were places that were pure agony. Right across the crease of my hip was especially bad, and going over the old tattoo/scar tissue/stretchmark was HELL.

I had an old "J" on my lower tummy that I had stretchmarked all up with my weight gain/loss. It was time to reward myself for reaching my weight loss goal and to be a reminder never to let myself go like that again.

I'm Irish, and am obsessed with all things clover/shamrock.

from the top, down.
The topmost shamrock has a tiny green triquetra hidden inside it, for my brother who is in Heaven.
The second one is blushed with pink for my girly girl sister.
The third one has a ladybug on it, for my mom, who also has a ladybug on her tattoo.
The fourth shamrock is for my Dad, and the Fifth for my stepdad.
The final, sixth shamrock is for my husband.
Those three (Dad, Stepdad and Hubby) are unadorned because all three of them are tattoo-haters. (OK they don't 'hate' them, but they were certainly anti-this one!)
The lucky seventh one is the four-leaf clover, for me.
