For quite some time I have been
very interested in getting another tattoo. In fact, I've had the overall idea for the one I want planned since Jakub and I were still engaged. This one would be pretty visible so I've really taken the time to make sure it's what I want. And sorry mom and dad, but it is : ) There's quite a lot of meaning to it (even some things have DOUBLE meanings!ha) and it would be so beautiful and feminine, I wouldn't have to worry about the question of "well what about when you're older" because old women love beautiful things too, right?!
I'm so glad I live in my generation; I don't have to believe the idea that people that are tattooed are godawful, gun slinging, drug induced fornicators destined for hell. [how's
that for a description?]
Since I've been stuck inside due to the snow, I've been spending
a lot of time thinking about it. Since I don't foresee getting the tattoo soon, I thought I'd share some tattoos that I'm drooling over at the present moment.
I'll never get over pin ups! They're so beautiful and classy.
I'm over swallows on the chest, but I love how realistic and artistic this one is.
This one is so feminine!
The detail on this ship is pretty spectacular.
This girl has a great blog (you can check it out by the link) and her tattoo is absolutely beautiful! It looks like just the vintage botanical illustrations! A bigger picture obviously shows more of the detail, it's just stunning to me.
Are you kidding me?! I hope you're picking up a theme: beautiful!
Seriously, you think an old woman won't like pretty flowers?! C'mon!
I love the detail and realism of this anchor. Old school anchors are cool, but this is the kind I adore.
This one and the next were done by Amanda Wachob. Her ability to create tattoos that look like they were painted on is unbelievable. I need to find an artist with this type of focus. You
need to look up her other works!
My tattoo will probably be black and grey or light colors, but I love the bold colors in this and how wonderfully they're put together.
This isn't a real tattoo, it's a "retort to the guy talking about how tattoos are really just meaningless awesomeness and we’ll all regret it when we’re 70." (as stated on the site)
Maybe I'll regret it, but I probably won't because I happen to think this picture would let you know this old woman isn't your typical old lady; she's got a little spunk you can't deny.
And I plan on being spunky when I'm old. (Sorry ma, if you almost fell out of your seat from that last picture)
Well my daughter, I still love to read what's going on in your mind and see your desires etc., Yes, I can understand the beauty in some of the tatoos. I get that. So, it will be interesting to see what you decide upon and I'm hoping it will be stunning like you. I did just about fall out with the old woman pic. Not so much cause of her tatoo but from the saggin boobs. Not lookin forward to all THAT!!! Cuz I want to be a beautiful old woman inside and out. I wanna be spunky, fiesty, wise, fun, and caring. But...I REALLY DON'T WANT SAGGY BOOBS!!!!
ReplyDeletehahaha ma,you're well on your way to being all those things--hopefully not the saggy boobs :)--and thank you momma, it's nice to know even though you wouldn't necessarily agree with it, I still have your support. love you. I think this is the best comment you've ever made to me :)
