I know we have threads, and I know we talk about them in different places, but......here we are.
Now that I just have touch ups left on my chest, I'm trying to decide what to get to cover up my little blip of a tat. on my hip. I think I want to get something that ties in with my chest piece.
eta: I deleted that creepy picture. It was just too creepy!
As promised, here is the sketch of my planned tattoo (it will be drawn prettier, and coloured, and awesome... I drew this in a conference because I was bored):

That looks awesome already! Do each of those things mean something?
Theo, that's amazing! You drew it yourself, yeah? Wow. Impressed : )
Pretty Theo.
On a different note, I could finally shave my ankle today! YAY!!
I love it theo!!!
The color in a tiny spot on my tattoo decided not to stay. hmmph. Its only a little bit, but its healed!!! Yay!
Thanks to all those who like it :) Yea every part of the tattoo means something and I invented the entire thing, altogether it's a pretty cool representation of who I am/where I've come from.
The overall shape is an almond blossom, because my paternal grandmother (who I take after most of all my family) used to call me Almond Blossom as a baby.
The top petal is a figure 8 and represents me - my birthday is 18/8/88 and 8 has always been my number, it also includes the first letter of my name and the eternity symbol, so I guess it just means me and integrity to myself.
Going clockwise, the 2nd petal is a jester made of flame, long story but it represents my Dad and his side of the family.
3rd petal is a koru overlayed with a southern cross, representing my Mum and her side of the family - displaced for many generations and but ending with a strong NZ connection. (Both of my parents' petals were chosen by them)
4th petal is a slightly altered Maori symbol which means friendship and support because my friends have been a strong influence in who I am.
Final petal (my favourite) - a flying pig :) both a reference to Pink Floyd's (strong presence throughout my life) and a symbol for belief in the impossible and hope for the future.
So yea! Everything that has made me who I am.
Oh my theo! I love it so much more now and i didnt think that was possible!!!
Do you know where you would want it?
Yep, getting in on my ribs on the left side :)
I was hoping you would say that!! i was picturing it on your side!! Its so pretty!! I'm seriously in love with it, like i want you to draw me a tattoo! haha.
I'll draw you something Sarah! (Even if its just a picture, not a tattoo :) ) I'm trying to get back into drawing, my skills are sporadic...some days they work AWESOME, other days I'm about as good at drawing as the ADHD kid jabbing holes through the paper with a crayon.
It makes me happy you like my tattoo plan, spooky you knew where I wanted it! Guess that means it'll look nice there if it seems like the obvious place to put it!
Haha, i just can never draw, period. I've always wanted to draw my own tattoo but nothing ever looks decent enough to even show the guy to redraw.
I just had my touch ups done yesterday! I'm so excited that it looks perfect nowwwwwwwwww. Yay! I mean, the touch ups still have to heal, but whatever. I'm joyous.

if you'd like to blow it up...I'll attach.
Wow, I am still in shock at how bright it is.
in other tattoo news - one of my leaves just fell right off! Like the outline is still there but the whole coloured in bit fell off! I think I may need to go and get that redone.

Bummer! That's pretty much what happened with my whole first tattoo. Yeah, go in for a big touch up, they shouldn't charge you anymore!

Yeah! I just sent in the colored pic; they wanted to do a before/after thing. ;) Thanks!
AC, the colors are sooo pretty!!!
I need to go in for touch ups soonish, but i want to get lots of swimming crammed in first. heh.
Shell, ugh, sorry bout your leaf there, that happens sometimes. But like AC said, they shouldnt charge you so make sure you go back and get it touched up!
Should I send mine in? Its not vegan promoting but definitely part of my lifestyle as a whole...
