Tats & Piercings Oh My!

I have waited a long time to get the tattoos I want, partly because of money and partly because I wanted to make sure they were something I really wanted. When I was 18 I wanted to get a care bear with my name underneath it, seriously if I had that now I would shoot myself... Now being 23 and starting to really realize what is truly important to me in life, I think I really know what I want and know how I want to express it on my body.

First up is piercings, to me anyways piercings do not have a special meaning really, they are just something I like and therefore want. The good thing about them is for the most part if you do not like them just take them out.

Snake bites
these are semi-special as I will be getting them with Jocey and we will be matching.


Industrial, Targus, forward helix, and 3 helixs
Obviously not all in the same ear.


Gauging
I am currently doing this and since my ear lobes are huge I am going to pierce above and below the gauges so I can still wear regular earrings as well.


Now on to the tattoos.

First let me start with lyrics and quotes. These will all be done in black ink in cursive writing.

Magic Is Infinite-wrist
this is obviously my blog tagline and is something I came up with a few years ago, it is a reminder to always look for the extraordinary elements in life.

I will follow you into the dark-back of neck
This is a title/lyrics from death cab for cutie. Besides the fact that I love the song, it also has multiple meanings for me. I think listening to the lyrics will give you a better idea of why, instead of me explaining it to you.


Love is forever-other wrist or forearm
self explanatory also another lyric from one of my favorite bands and songs Neutron star collision-muse.


 Before you my life was like a moonless night-chest or front shoulder
this is one of my favorite quotes from twilight and completely reminds me of G.

Now for artwork

3 stars-ear
I want 3 stars on or behind my ear to represent Jocey, Tyler, & Airi. As you all know these kids are my life and are truly my stars in the night sky. I want them to pick their color and very faintly have their initials in the stars.

Dandelion-chest or leg
This is going to beautiful! it is going to be a dandelion being blown and the little fluffys are going to turn into birds.The dandelion represents wishing and dreams and the birds freedom and peace.
 

Lilac-leg
This one probably has one of the most and special meanings. It was my nana's favorite flower and is also my grandma's. I am gong to put a white ribbon around it and in the ribbon will say Nana.


Angel wings-back
I have always wanted angel wing tattoos. I use to want full back but now I think i want it to look like they are emerging from my should blades.


As for right now that is it, of course I am sure there will be more in the future.
