Here's one of my birthday gifts...

[vinesqueen 2]

This is one of the things I got for my birthday. Something I did for myself.

Because I've had so many different health issues, I felt that I needed something really strong for healing. I'm on several prayer lists, (thanks everyone!) and even though I'm a Pagan, I welcome the prayers from all my friends who are soemthing else, and the well wishes from those that are athiests. All are equally powerful, and all are equally welcome.

This is located at my third chakra, solarplexes but on my back. The blue is the color of love, the healing color, red for the physical healing I need, yellow for rational thought and because it is the color for the chakra.

So anyway, I decided that I shouldn't actually wait until I was 80 to get my first tattoo, I figured 44 was good enough.

Oh, and could a Moderator please resize this bad girl?

Thanks Donali!

It said something to the effect of:

Beautiful!!! Congrats!!

I'm still not up to the pain of getting a tattoo - for my bday present I settled for an eyebrow waxing. *ouch!!* They still are tender!! lol

I know, what a weenie!

Great tat!!

Whoo hooo!! Welcome to the tattooed gentry!!

Here you go!!

[Vera 7]

Happy Birthday!

Very original and pretty. Is the healing color orange?

Your not a virgin anymore

Donali, I wouldn't ever expect you to get a tattoo... (someone cover Donali's eyes) they use (someone have her sit down) *shhhh* needles. (Maybe someone should get her a glass of Water....

Actually, Vera, there is no orange in my design, but in my belief system, orange is the color of emotions but not healing.

Congrats Crystal that is a very cool design.

Now, even "I" like that one! Very nice, Vines! I appreciate how meaningful you made it, as well as being beautiful. Well done!

You're my hero! That is sharp! I'm a chicken.< /p>

[paula 4]

Not just for fun or looks, but a real sentimental tatoo. I like that.

[Alexandra 55]

Crystal, that is AWESOME! I have never considered getting a tattoo, really, but if I were going to it would be something original (and Dh would get a matching one). Your design is really lovely and I'm sure it will only get more so with time. Congratulations!

And Donali--HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, TOO!! Sorry I missed it, sistah. I was away and just haven't been up on everything. I'll bet the eyebrows are something! :mad:

[donali 57]

Okay, I'm back. What were we talking about, again???

[donali 57]

I'll bet the eyebrows are something!

LOL They're STILL tender. At least, I think they are... LOL

I'll have to make my own thread with pictures instead of hijacking Crystal's. But hey, VQ, this keeps your thread on top!! xxoo
