Am getting a new tattoo tonight if the stupid ice storm stops
Haruka gave me a gift certificate to "her" tat place for Xmas.

1. Cool... what design?
For some reason when I read the subject line for this I thought it said "ice cream" instead of "ice storm"...


Mmmmmmmm... ice cream... :9

2. I love ice cream
It's a Celtic dragon/knot thing on my back. I'll post a photo later.

I WAS going to get Flvegan's name inside of a heart, but I'm too afraid of LeftyMom.

5. Cool!!! Pics afterward, please.
I'm still recovering from my lotus flower about six months ago (which reminds me, *I* need to get a pic taken of the actual tattoo).

This is what it looks like (the artist made a template directly from my drawing, but with the lines cleaned up):

11. Yep. Pale purple, just like in the pic.
I love it, but that thing hurt like hell.

18. LOL....yes, I am!
It was the biggest one I've gotten to date, though--the thing's about 4" x 6" of solid ink.

The funniest thing was my mom--who to this day does not know I have tattoos, and would be horrified to learn I do--calling as I was walking out of the tattoo studio, and indignantly telling me "well, you're certainly in a pissy mood!" Couldn't tell her why, but I was like "oh, yes....yes, I am..."

7. Hehehehe...

Hope you'll consider posting a pic!

9. What part of the body is the vernal equinox?
Oh, I'll post a pic. We need a tattoo thread tonight.

I have a high pain tolerance level, but it honestly didn't hurt at all --the tattoo I have is a full armband.

19. Eat it fucko!
That's where it's goin... you got a better suggestion, feel free to share it... but lemme tell you why I want it there, first.

That is the seat of our energy in kundalini yoga (and it's a meaningful place in other belief systems, too) and so that is where I am getting my first tat and THAT'S THAT!

Unless I find out about an equally cool-seeming place to get it... heh.

26. It's all about the chi.
That's why I got mine there, too. The lotus flower embellished the dragon character I got many years ago (before EVERYBODY started getting tramp stamps).

30. Well the most important thing for me...
with respect to location... is invisibility. I do not want anyone seeing it... hardly anyone... ever.

So... I'm somewhat limited.

I wonder if there's any other cool places to get it that are equally not seeable...

20. I'm teasing you -- I know what the vernal equinox is
I'm a bit Pagany in my beliefs.

OOOOO... a "tramp stamp." Let's get the DUers started up on that again, eh?

45. I'd be more afraid of Haruka
You're a married woman, dammit; can you imagine the response from my wife if I got your name in a heart?

Come to think of it...Next Friday I'm getting another tattoo, but it won't be anyone's name in a heart.

17. Well, if an old woman with enough tattoos to join the circus starts stalking him
I apologize in advance.

And now I have to call my mother and apologize for calling her an old woman. :scared:

He only has a cheap one. It's somehow MY fault he wants one.

44. it is
thank you.

I brought the picture in to the tattoo artist. He liked it a lot too. And of course, since it's an outline, it's very little work, and not very expensive.
