My first tattoo! XD

[Ariana Celeste]

Originally I was going to go with a simple grey offset, but my dude told me I have such fair skin and color would look so much better, that he will add some color at no extra charge! So Friday night he is going to come in after work and add some purple and blue. I friggin love it! It means "Dream." :7

[_testify_]

1. very cool!

Did you feel invincible right after it was done?

[Ariana Celeste]

3. I felt like a manly woman!

I was surprised that I took it so well!

[_testify_]

5. when people ask if mine hurt, i ask them if they've ever had a toothache!

A toothache is waaaaaaay worse.

[Ariana Celeste]

7. For real!

Shit, people had me thinking I was going to faint! But you are right, a toothache is waaaay worse. :D

[Shell Beau]

38. Yeah they are not painful at all.

And they are addictive. I have 2 but could easily get more. I won't. Two is my limit (they are very small). I have a high tolerance for pain, but this was not the slightest painful.

2. yume

It's an interesting cursive style- my kanji is more of the traditional "block" style.

Yours looks fab!!! :hi:

[Ariana Celeste]

4. Thanks!

I like the more cursive styled Kanji, seems more feminine to me!

:hi: back at ya!

[In_The_Wind]

6. really nice job

:thumbsup:

[Ariana Celeste]

8. Thanks!

The guy is awesome, he is freelance and charges a lot less than any of the shops you could go to- plus he's my SO's buddy! Good guy and knows what he's doing!

[_testify_]

9. really? where does he live?

I need some touch-ups!

[Ariana Celeste]

13. I'll PM you with that, lol.

[LynzM]

10. Sweet!

Looks really nice!

[Ariana Celeste]

14. Thanks!

:7 :hi:

[mongo]

11. Nice - It'll look even better with the color

I'm jealous. I haven't gotten any new tattoos for about 5 years now.

Is that an arm or a thigh?

[Ariana Celeste]

16. That's right above

my left ankle, on the outside- it's a close up!

[TheProphetess]

12. That is very cool!

I have one that means "spirit" and I love it too. Congrats!! :toast:
BTW, my SO says they are addictive, so do you have plans for any more?

[Ariana Celeste]

17. Hell yeah!

Now that I have one above my left ankle, my right leg feels so... empty! ;)

[hippiechick]

15. That is AWESOME !

Is that arm or leg ?

Here's the graphic of mine ... it's on my rt shoulder blade.

[Ariana Celeste]

18. It's above my left ankle

I got it there so that I could show it off with cropped pants, skirts, and capris, but hide it with pants when it feels necessary!

I like that, simple but pretty! What does it mean?

[hippiechick]

21. Spirit - not like 'rah rah cheerleader' but .. like

'universal Goddess/mother' sort of Spirit.

I've heard ankle tatt's hurt because they're so close to bone ... did it ?

:hi: Thankx !

[Ariana Celeste]

23. Not as bad as I thought it would!

I've talked to a lot of people about tattoos, and half of them say the fatty places hurt more and half say that the boney places hurt more- so I guess it just depends on the person!

I'm down with that kind of Spirit! :hi:

[hippiechick]

31. Plainfield ?!?! Where'd you get it done ?

I'm in Indy and got mine at Metamorphosis in Broad Ripple.

:hi:

[Ariana Celeste]

34. My SO has a coworker

who is a freelance tattoo artist, and charges a lot less than any shops you could go to. Really great dude. Here's a picture of me in my livingroom getting the process started-



That's what I loved the most about the experience, is that I got to do it in the comfort of my own home!

[Ariana Celeste]

35. Btw,

I've only been to Broad Ripple once (To stop in the Magic Bus)- and to Indy only a few times. We don't drive (have a car, no licenses). I've heard Broad Ripple is like, the only cool place in the area (Unless you are in Northern Indiana).

[hippiechick]

36. BR is cool, but not as cool as Bloomington.

The rest of Indy is pretty much a lost cause. Sigh.


WELCOME TO DU, TOO !!! :grouphug:

[Ariana Celeste]

37. Thanks for the welcome!

I've been here I think since October, but I don't post a whole lot, yet! I do it in spurts. :P

One of these days I'll get over my fear of driving, get a license, and attend an Indy DU meetup! Lol. All in due time.

[TheProphetess]

32. You and I have the same tattoo!

:hi:
Here's a picture of mine (on my right ankle), and yes, mine hurt like hell!

[hippiechick]

33. Way cool !

Great Minds think alike !! :yourock:

[leftofthedial]

19. Uh oh!!!!!

that bottom form is slightly wrong! Your tattoo actually reads "goat flatulence"!

Just kidding.

[Ariana Celeste]

20. LOL! I love it!

:7

Man this thing hurts right now! But it feels gooood. :)

[masshole]

22. Do the Japanese get tattoos

in English?

Just curious.

[Ariana Celeste]

24. LOL I couldn't tell ya!

I chose a Chinese character because I look at Kanji as a form of art. :7

[masshole]

25. oops! I thought Kanji was Japanese

My bad (do people still say that?)

:D

[Ariana Celeste]

28. I still say it!

LOL. Japanese writing consists of 3 types (that I know of). Hirigana, which is like their alphabet, Katakana, which they use for foreign words, and Kanji, which is Chinese. So, you aren't entirely incorrect!

[MissHoneychurch]

26. it is beautiful

Congrats. Show us a pic when you have the color added.

I am thinking about another tattoo. I know what I want but can't make uo my mind yet if I should do it or not

[Ariana Celeste]

29. Thanks! I don't even have this one done,

and I'm already trying to decide what I want next, lol! My SO will be armed with the digital camera on Friday night, so I will definitely share the finished product! :hi:

[cassandra uprising]

27. congrats

Be careful, the are very addictive.

:cheers:

[Ariana Celeste]

30. Couldn't agree more!

:bounce:

[Mutley]

39. I like it!

BTW, you've inspired me to ask about my next tattoo. See my poll on it.

[Ariana Celeste]

40. Heading there now!

:hi:
