Wow, that's pretty.  Does the center symbol stand for anything other than the band's logo?  What constituted the "Homecoming Tour"?

Its been a bit since I posted these.  I like seeing everyone's tattoos...so I'm going to post mine again. :D




This is my second tat.  A gargoyle.  It was started in NH in 1999/2000, and finished in MA in 2003.  The first guy botched the outline, and the second guy (who has since passed on, unfortunately), fixed it and did a decent job. :D



This is my third and most recent tattoo.  An Uroboros.  It's about a year and a half old now...this pic was taken right after it was completed June 2009.

My first tat is a spider on my right shoulder, but I don't have a pic of him.  He's 15 years old now, and in need of retouching.  :) 

Last September I decided to get a piercing instead of a tattoo....so I got a Rook cartilage piercing in my left ear.    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rook_%28piercing%29

(Contrary to the article, it didn't hurt all that much, tho healing was a pain in the rear.  Having the piercer put the hoop in the freshly made hole was a bit more painful than the needle making the hole to begin with.  Probably should have gone with a bent barbell, as he started to...but oh well. hehe)

I love the gargoyle, Nicole, and I remember the Ouroboros. I like both the image and the symbolism of it.

Thanks, ladies.  I love my gargoyle too. :)  I wish that artist was still alive to do other tats for me.   He's the only person I'd trust to do up my Japanese Hannya mask tat that I want. 

I also like the symbolism of the Uroboros...and it was entirely an accident, as I got the tat for other reasons entirely...and stupidly forgot to check any meanings behind the symbol. :P  I was lucky it turned out to be a good thing, hehe.

Of course  ;) 

However, that wasn't reason for incorporating it into the design.  I'm a Sagittarius (fire sign), and kept playing with the design for months as I wasn't quite happy with it....wanting some sort of sun in the background.  The only one I really liked, and kept coming back to, was their tribal sun.  The double dragon design is a Jeff Bartels, I just modified it a bit.

Cool, I just looked up some of his flash and he's got nice work.

I'm a scorp (water) and I have the sun setting over the ocean as part of another tat. I recently got some work done on the rose compass on my wirst and have the seed of an idea for another, but want to work it all out before I commit :)  I have a thing for 3 so I do see one more in my future  LOL

All I have now is the one in my avatar pic (on the back of my neck).  But I am getting one to represent my two daughters soon.  A friend who is an awesome artist is doing a little creepy cute goth roller girl angel to represent my youngest and a lizard skeleton with a karate black belt for the oldest.  Obviously neither of my girls chose a girly sport :)

I hope to have them both done before June (assuming I can still afford them, that is) :)

Mine is very faded, got it at 17 to cover a bad one given with a straight pen. That was the last time I got drunk enough to pass out. They put a cross, but it looked more like an anchor. The name under it is that of my horse as a teen. (Rebbel) No it isn't misspelled. Wow, this one is 27 years old. I am not showing my other one to anyone but my husband. It is a rose.

since my clan is one of the older celtic names it doesn't have to chose between scotland or ireland so i thought it would be kewl to have both the irish coat of arms plus the traditional scottish clan tat joined in some way shape or form with like a flag behind the actual tattoo of each and joined with some form of celtic knotwork.

haven't decided yet, i do know that i definately want a lot of thought put into the placement and design.  i tend not to care for the look f tat's that ppl just collect with no flow, disorganized, i'm all for expression but i like simitry in tatto design, plus i tend to be an all or nothing kinda person and i bet i'd want to eventually get more so placement of them early on is prolly wise from the begining, imho anyways.

gettin some pictish, irish, scottish, or my native american heritage tattoo cuz i recently found a letter in a family bible that stated my family is part maliseet or micmac, a small maine/canadian tribe.

i still keep comin back to the idea of tying together all my ideas to something that looks connected yet doesn't look cluttered, somethign that is clean looking yet intricate at the same time.
