wel i have a lot more planned then i actually have right now. i cna hardly justify to myself to get a haircut (never mind the dye job i want) that i really can't jusitify a $30 hole or another tattoo right now. but what i do have is 2 holes in the lobe of my right ear (had another 2 up top but they got infected and dad had to remove them with pilers... ouch btw). and i have an old stlye mic tattoo (designed after my dad's radio award) on my right wrist as a symbol my my dad, my right hand man. and then i have a blood splatter crow (designed after the CD soundtrack of the 3rd Crow movie) on my chest for my son corvis (latin for crow) who is my heart and a huge part of myself and my life.
i try to have the tatts be symbolic of someone or some achievement and placed on a spot that has importance in relation.
for instance, my grandmother's is going to be a large vine of roses starting on the top of my foot and wrapping up to about mid-thiegh. she was my ancor for many year and a huge part of the foundation for myself. the rose is not only because that was part of her name (and mine) but also because like the rose she was beautiful, delicate and deceptively strong and fierce.
my mother's is going to be a couple golden horse shoes on my butt. i have been very lucky to have her and she is a treasure as good as gold, but frankly she's also been a pain in the butt! :giggle:
i am going to have a trail of ratty paw prints (one print for each rat that has passed that i have cared for-black for those that i adopted and another color undecided for those that i only fostered) wrapping over my shoulder and travelling down my arm some, not only because rats are shoulder-puppies but also because they have kept my spirit warm with their love just like a blanket.
i'm working on a design for my best friend, i need to keep ironing out the details for one for my cousins and aunt, i have one designed for each of my cats (snowball, sesshoumaru, minion and miyuki) and i'm working on the details for the one to celebrate my completion of university then another that would fit well beside or in with it for my completion of my master's degree in counseling. i'll also eventually design one for my life mate once i'm sure that i've found him, so at least not until about 20 years into the relationship...
and i plan on adopting a little girl sometime in my future so i will have to leave space somewhere special for her as well, though i won't know what the design will be until i find her, perhaps its something we could work on together.
as for piercings, i would love to have my right ear finished my getting back my top ear holes and finding or making the earrings i want for it. i would also like to get a couple in my eye brow and one between my eyes (i saw these really neat glasses that will fit well in the piercing once) and i keep debating whether i want one in my lip or not. i chew my lip an awful lot, it would probably get in the way of that or become a new picky spot... so i don't know. likely though i won't get any of the facial piercings. i can't imagine being taken seriously as grief counselor or animal adoption counselor with them all in. might work in my favor if i worked with troubled teens maybe, or at least it wouldn't work against me in any case..
the tattoos i will get though, someday, when i have the spare cash for it. when needed they can be covered with clothing and there's no holes to stare at.
i'm done boring you now...
