My favorite tattoo and the story behind it
My favorite tattoo is my GOD IS LOVE tattoo in Arabic on my left breast [your right, when you look at me ;]. I got this one after the first love of my life broke up with me. I was traveling by myself to the Middle East and Mediterranean Europe for a few months, belly danced on rooftops in the Middle East, and wanted to learn more Arabic. I got this tattoo to show my solidarity with ALL cultures and all peoples [3
My first tattoo and the story behind it
My first tattoo was the Konje JOY symbol on the back of my neck... I spent one year picking it out [so I could live with it happily forever!]. I KNEW I wanted something that represented a beautiful QUALITY in my life. I was in my "I am woman, HEAR ME ROAR!" phase [one of "em! ;] and I went to get the tattoo by myself - RIGHT before heading to an Indigo Girls' concert! ;] Hee :] True story [3
My next tattoo
I have three planned currently: 1] FLAME MARILYN on my right arm - Marilyn Monroe, my icon [3 with flaming red hair like moi ;] and a turquoise dress!, 2] a tiger torso tattoo down my whole left side in bright colors [I am a Princeton Tiger! and a Tiger at heart! and like Tigger of Winnie-the-Pooh too - just all bouncy bouncy JOY JOY!, and 3] I am getting cherry blossoms on my right breast [The undercurve] with the Pablo Neruda quote: "I want to do to you what spring does with the cherry trees." [3 SOMEDAY: blue butterflies! :]
