on my 18th bday i sort of tricked my mom into getting me a tattoo. i was soo excited, that i just kind of randomly picked one off the wall. stereotypical metalhead ink ... skulls. but i love them, i named 'em. redface spunk and crowley. doesnt really have meaning, but it'll be forever the day my mom sort of said 'OK, your abnormal, but im down.' heart
and my otherone, is still in progress, but itll be a strangler fig around my upper arm. i grew up in rural minnesota, always outside. then i moved to south florida. and GADS! i hated it down there. its all money and pavement and oooold people. and then i started going to state preserves and parks, and realized that natural florida is actually pretty damn great. (if a little deadly.) the strangler fig is almost alien looking. and its life cycle is rather interesting. (biology nerd sweatdrop ) so, yeah. the strangler fig made me fall in love with florida. and hehehe... it looks cool.
and what about yours? (i love hearing about other people's stuff)

oh the list... its big...
Tribal wings I got on my sixteenth birthday(shoulders): I had wanted wings for a looong time. Who doesnt day dream about actually haveing wings at one point? and it just symbolized freedom, and how much a free spirited person I am. of course... the idea to get them in tribal may not have been the best thing ever.. I wanted dragon wings that for sure. Maybe I will get them updated eventually.
Two celtic symbols(seahorse, & tree of life) got at 17(left arm): I am a celt, and do viking re enactment, so the tree of life does hold meaning to my haritage, the seahorse... I just always liked seahorses, he also looks like a dragon, something else I really like. Its like my interchangeable tattoo.
Spiderweb at 18(tummy): I honestly just thought it would look neat to have a spider web around my belly button. When I am done haveing kids I am getting it expanded to be a tribute to Drow. My favorate race from the fantancy novels I love reading.
lodus chest peice at 18(sturnum): this one probably has the most meaning. A lodus flower. A flower I have always loved, same as water liliys... they float on the water and are very pretty(I am a water element as well) the lodus also have symbolism for alot in spirituality. Its holding a globe of blood(I actually wanted it to be a drop of blood but my artist changed it on me) with a skull inside it. The skull is a symbol for life and/or death. I have a pretty serious blood condition that literally could kill me at any given time... so there you go.. a globe of my blood floating in an ever so delicate flower that could be tiped over at any moment...
Tribal dragon at 19(back of the neck): This one I designed myself. Its when I designed it that makes the real difference. I designed it mainly as a memorial tattoo for my boyfriend when I was 16. He was in the hospital that night.. and I could not sleep because I was so worried. He likes tribal and loves dragons so I designed this for him and would have had his birth and death dates in the wing. He actually did die on the operateing table for a few minutes, but lucky they managed to bring him back.. so I didnt have to put the date in it. But I still got it tattooed on me.. I loved the desgin and thought it would be a good thing to remember.
Dragon and koi sleeve at 19/20(right arm): the over all meaning of this one is trasformation. The koi will jump up the waterfall and turn into a dragon. Trasformed from a weak small thing into the most powerful thing in the world. Kinda the struggle I have done sine I was the shyist little thing, to.. well what I am now. I also made the dragon red for a reason. I have read alot of chinese dragon lore and the red dragons I relate with most. Plus I have loved goldfish and dragons forever... so I just wanted them. I have also had a rasom Reiki master come up and start talking to me about my sleeve. I didnt even know the guy before this. But he started talking about how getting tattooed is a very spiritual experence of me, and that the dragon I have is a celesital dragon, not an earthly one because its tail is not showing. And that the dragon riseing is what the path to enlightenment is called, so my dragon moveing upword symbolizes my spitiual path, and how just getting it tattooed has helped me along it. He also went into other personal things about my spirituality that was creeply accurate. But he added alot of meaning into my sleeve.
The next three I am getting have alot of meaning shoved into them as well... but I dont have them yet so why list them xd
