Tattoos

[Persephone G.]

Persephone G. a lot of different tattoos are on Miami Ink. If I got a cross, is it because I'm copying it from Miami Ink? No, highly I doubt it. I don't think it's safe to assume without saying that the ones pinksatin want are because of the show. Maybe they are personal to her, you don't know that they aren't.

Sorry, but I'm just responding on how and what she described for a possible tattoo for her. It was just way to obvious for me. If I am wrong than I will gladly apologize.

Howeverm not that many people even know about the Hamsa in the US nor do people who live outside of Hawaiian islands want a tattoo of my home state because they like it. The thing that struck me when I read her post was "Oh, she must have seen the show." There's nothing wrong with it, but it did make me chuckle.

Persephone G. totally understand, I just didn't want there to be any false assumptions that could lead to hurt feelings and whatnot.
SiennaInLondon I think it's cute but I would think it's something that you totally have to LOVE. This is because, unless you live in a cold climate and spent your life in boots, there's no real covering it up. I would image it would sometimes make shoe selection a challange.

Oh I'd never get it! I already have a foot tattoo and I dont like too many tattoos in the same place. Still I like hers everytime I see it.

Does it hurt to get a tattoo on your wrist?

 

[LifeNatureLove]

^Not really, but the tattoo guy said I obviously have a high tolerance for pain because a lot of people find it painful. I don't know. It just depends on the person, I guess.

 

[Tess]

^Ok.. thank you for answering! I want to get one

 

[LifeNatureLove]

I love mine and I'll probably get another soon. Go for it!

I think it hurts to get a tattoo anywhere....

I need to stop watching INKED.....
it makes me want to go nuts with tats....sleeves and all.
I think some of those girls look so cool with all the tats but I never would....
it's just not me so I couldn't pull it off.

What do people think of the rosary around Nicole Richie's ankle. I think it is lovely whenever I see photos of her in flats but it must make wearing angle straps difficult, no?

I think Nicole's tattoo is cute, but what I think really makes it is the fact that her ankles are so darn cute.
She has the smallest ankles, ever.

Don't be too scared....
I am told I don't have a very high pain tolerance and am a huge baby.

 

[Tess]

^okay. I'll se tomorrow how high pain tolerance I have.

I might try, it's in white so it won't show up. I might have one of right after I got it done and you can see the outline in red.

I think tattoos can be very beautiful, but I personally wouldn't get one.

The thing that struck me when I read her post was "Oh, she must have seen the show." There's nothing wrong with it, but it did make me chuckle.

Actually when I read your response I was at first a bit offended b/c I don't watch that show or that other one, inked. ALthough I've seen them each maybe twice but they didn't feature the tatoos I wanted. Then I had to chuckle too b/c I totally understand where you are coming from and it is quite a coincidence. No I did not get the ideas from the show though and they do mean something to me and I did get them both!

First I got the Hawaiian island chain on my hip and it fits very well withthe shape of that area. Just all black. ANd I have lived there for the past 3 years (on oahu). It is the first place I lived on my own w/o parents so it symbolizes more than just the islands and a place to live but also like the first time being on my own and independence and that sort of thing. Also, when I don't live there anymore I will always stilll have that on me. (Finished it it just simple solid black.)

ALso, more recently I got my hamsa. I waited longer for it b/c I wanted words around it and I had to take more time to plan it out. Islands you don't have to personalize/alter so much. that's just a map and you choose the body part. The hamsa has so many variations though so I had to find a version I liked and also decide on which words and pic a font for the hebrew and go to kinkos to cut/paste/cut/paste the letters and picture until I had what I wanted. I chose the first three words ("May G-d bless you and keep you"; transliteration: Y'varechechah adonai v'yeeshmarechah) of the priestly benediction since I like the meaning of the whole prayer and I can hear my Rabbi saying it in my head when I think of it. It give me a special spiritual feeling even though I'm overall not that religious (I wouldn't be getting tatooed probably if I was). Also I read hebrew so It's not like just a picture, it's words and meaning to me. In the middle it says "mazel" ("luck" or "good fortune", think of the toast "mazel tov" - "Good luck").

It's not the clearest pic because there is more detail in real life. Looks like filligrie (sp?) kind of. (p.s., It's centered, my skirt is just crooked!)

eta: I have hamsa's in my house too. LIke hanging in the kitchen and some necklaces. THis one is always on my though now!
