Tattoos


My EN tattoo Dan's Taurus tattoo

My goal reward will be a big tattoo on my left upper arm, of the Einsturzende Neubauten logo which I believe to be a "Toltec petroglyph of a man combined with a sun symbol". There are many different interpretations. Personally I like the earthiness of the symbol and EN are my favourite artists of all time. Alot of their music/sounds are made with found objects rigged up. So beautiful.

My next tattoo will then be a Gaia (mother earth goddess) symbol but I am yet to find one I like. I'll probably end up designing it.

Dan and I will get them at the same time, whoot!

Didn't do my Bodytonics last night but Dan and I cleaned the entire house instead (2 storey, 2 b/room terrace).

Weigh in tomorrow. I am over my points so had a lot of damage control to do but that's okay. I had a rough week. This will happen every once in a while so looking forward to a new week.

Have a great Friday everyone!

Here are some great places for inspiration:

I really do love that Tattoo. I am not sure what a Gaia symbol is either so might have to do a search on that one...might finally find the tattoo I want

What I like about you, amongst other things, is that you don't fall down in a huge big puddle when you have a rough week. You do it rough, you damage control, you have a laugh, and you go for it again. That's the sort of attitude that will get you, and keep you at your goal. I like the fact that you have thought behind your tattoo. So many of our friends have tattoo's that were acquiring after or during a drunken night out and have no meaning, and usually, no style. And then there are the set that all got chinese symbols. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but there was no thought. It meant nothing and means nothing to them.

Long comment. Finished now. Have a brilliant day :)

Housework... I swear that should earn more points than it does!

Where abouts are you going to get your tattoo? I love the design, and I love that you are waiting to get it done.. it's one of those things that if done on impulse, *ugh*.

I got a tattoo years ago.. and I still love it..luckily.. but I had a friend who had Winnie the pooh tattooed on her arse, and then regretted it almost instantly.

what a spanner?!

Oh and BodyPUMP... it's an hour long class done with weights only. non impact.. easily modified for beginners.. love love love it.

I think it would be wonderful for you to design your own tattoo. It would really represent where and who you, are so go for it!

Thanks so much for the link I am going to go look now but first must say thanks for your comment on my title - I was wondering how I came up with that term. Very scary indeed, I am changing the entry title

have a good weekend

Can I see the Gaia tattoo when you come across one - i couldn't find it on the website.

I want something that symbolizes peace, acceptance, tranquility, spirituality, individualism, beauty, nature and serenity......

Not asking much am I!

Glad to hear you aren't letting a bad week get you down! You rock chick!
Very cool tattoo!! thanks for posting the link, will check it out soon & hopefully find one i like too!
Funny thing about mine is it has no meaning or even thought behind it!! my friend hollie & i were meant to get tattoos together but i never the cash when she was visiting, So when I visited her she practically chose the tattoo for me & pushed me into the chair (not quite physically pushed but u get the drift) But I love it. It reminds me off the best holiday I had in my life, being young (not that i'm old) & free & reminds me of the 3 good friends i visited that holiday. So though it started out as a meaningless butterfly, it has lots of memories behind it now :)

Hey there Mary. That's so great for you that you've been able to get your walking back. It sounds like you've been having a hard time of it lately and it must be good to have at least that bit of time to yourself. With your attitude it won't be long before you get your tattoo. :)

Mary thanks for posting the links.

I've been thinking about getting another tattoo for ages but haven't put much effort into finding a design that I like.

Now I've found at least 8!!!

Just trying to forget how much it hurt, so that I'll sit in that chair again for another hour and a half trying not to scream!!

And congrats on still losing weight even with the little blip!
