Thanks Toto. My sister went with me to pick mine out. I knew I wanted the wings, and the name and date, but I let her choose the wing style we went with.
I have 11 tattoos now. I'm getting more, once the baby is born. Some of mine have meaning, like the wings and my Claddaugh. Others are just expressions of my personality. We are also a family of tattoos. I have 11, my sister has 6, my brother in law has over a dozen. My mom has 1, but she was allergic to the ink so she can't get anymore. I'm eventually going to have 3/4 sleeves. The guy that does all my work is drawing them up for me now so that we can get started in August. I also have a Japanese morning glory vine and flowers that will start on my foot and come up to my shoulder drawn up. That one will get started on in or after August also. I'll maybe post all the pics to photo bucket later and link to them.
Steely, I wasn't here when you lost H, but I have read some of your past threads about her. A tattoo, if that is what you decide on would be a wonderful tribute. And we want to see pics when you get it done
Here is a picture of Moonwolf's tattoo. I got it for her for her 21st b-day. The phoenix symbolizes her re-birth after the things she went through as a child and teenager.
