BirdyBogart

1. So far I have 7 tattoos. Three of them form a half sleeve on my right arm.

2. I got my first tattoo when I was 33. It's a tramp stamp that I will eventually improve upon.

3. The half sleeve is a combination of a robin, a set of green stars, and a bouquet of native wildflowers with a honey bee. The rest are sets of stars scattered around my body.

4. I only regret the set of stars on my right forearm. I have had them worked on by four different people and they still aren't what I hoped for. I'm going to resort to a coverup in the near future.

I love the art of tattooing. I especially love when people have a story behind their tattoo. This is my story:

I was originally going to go for one small tattoo and call it quits. I was borderline hippie when I made this decision so I wanted a single star to represent rebirth with each chakra represented to remind me of the ultimate goal... balance. There are 7 chakras, or energy centers, each represented by a different color. Coincidentally, there are 7 colors in the rainbow. Well, a single rainbow star tattoo screamed gay pride. Not that I have any problem with homosexuality or pride, but clearly that didn't represent me. In a stroke of genius, I decided to have 7 separate tattoos each being stars, and each being a different color. What I failed to realize is that tattoos are addictive. I enjoy the act as much as the art. I will not be stopping at 7 tattoos. I have ideas for an entire back piece and several other substantial works. I went from wanting whimsical groupings of stars to wanting to be a walking masterpiece. ;0)

bmqbonnie

1. Do you have any, and if so, HOW many?
One, probably getting another soon

2. When did you get it/them?
Summer before last

3. What did you get?


It's a painting by Franz Marc, a painter from the early 20th century that painted a lot of horses. I love art and horses are my life, so it seemed like a good combination. This one in particular since I was working on a breeding farm at the time.

4. Any regrets?
Not at all. Sometimes I get the "you'll wish you didn't have that at your wedding" but quite the opposite. I think it's beautiful and I like to show it off! There's some ideas I've had in the past that I probably would regret though, so it's not something to take lightly. I thought over the idea for months and it took me years to find a great artist.

Next one will probably be the text "extraordinary machine" on this album art. Favorite singer, awesome album, awesome song.
