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!
I really want another tattoo, but I'm just too impressionable and want one wherever I see someone else's.
Example: one of the nurses on the psych unit has a lovely tat on her forearm and whenever I see it, I want one there. One of the other nurses on the same unit has one on her finger and then when I look at hers i want one on finger. One of the nurses on the acute ward has a lovely tattoo on the back of her neck, just by the hairline and when I look at hers I want a neck tattoo.
Maybe I should get an arm, finger AND neck tattoo.
yes!! get all of them!!
I have been thinking about getting a tattoo for ever but the only one I've consistently wanted is two or three vintage style buttons on the side of my arm near my wrist where a coat sleeve's buttons would be. But I'm scurred of the commitment.

I surely dont post in here all that often, my tattoo artist calls me to ask if I want work done at this point.
Ive been too busy with work and life meandering down poor paths to take her up on it.
eric, i recently (today) covered a box in pages from an old sociobiology textbook and your tat reminds me of one of the pictures from it. Apparently, it's a colony of the fresh water ectoproct, Crisatella mucedo. Though i'm sure that's probably not what you had in mind when getting it tattooed.

also, I hope your life takes a rest from meandering down poor paths, and starts wandering towards the right ones.
Its supposed to be in the fashion of stylized floral. :) close close
The upper portions are inverted Flame Acanthus.
And the midsection is Fairy Duster - Calliandra eriophylla also double as japanese pine.
The chest area is a hybridization of Datura.
At one point I totally wanted seaweed tattooed on me.
ac - I just showed my friend your tat, b/c she has amazing colorful ones too... she was super impressed, as was i :)

From the cover of blink 182s first demo cassette. I got it on the 2 year mark of their reunion. I've been debating getting this for a year or two, and I've felt so awesome since I've gotten it.
love that face, Sarah : )
That's awesome, Sarah! :) I want some more ink. That's a nice spot for the tat as well. I don't think it'd look as good on the arm or leg or whatever. Well done!
The reason it took so long to get was finding a non awkward place to get it. Then one day I realized my freckles kind of boxed off that area perfectly to fit it. haha.
I think it looks great..the design and the placement.
I got this last year, I drew it. My mom is an oncology nurse, and got diagnosed with breast cancer.
Awe! That is a fantastic idea, I love it and the meaning behind it <3
thanks! dh got one too that day.. he got a a picture that my daughter drew of him. he has a side ponytail :) He has short hair, so it's funny..
