Side Wrist Tattoos

This is a great alternative to the typical wrist tattoos. I think it looks a bit more artistic and its a great place to put a small tattoo.

These are all from Pinterest users.

Love the words that accompany this feather.

 I've never seen a tattoo like this, but I absolutely love it!

Text Tattoos

Okay, so this is just some advice for anyone looking to get text as a tattoo. Make sure you go bigger than smaller. Remember that the ink is going to bleed over time, so its not going to be as easy to read a few years down the line. That's the only think I wish I thought about more when I got that quote on my back. The text is tiny and looks beautiful now, but I'm not sure how easy its going to be to read in 5 years.

Thoughts on tattoos and piercings!

Hello world!

So as you can see, I'm very fond of piercings and tattoos. My advice for tattoos, make sure its something really special. Don't just get anything done spur of the moment. Tattoos should be well thought out.

I do have to be honest and admit that my first tattoo (the birds) was not thought out. I literally saw what I wanted and got it done in just a few hours. I had an idea as to what I wanted my tattoo to represent but not sure how to put it on paper. So when I saw it, I knew right at that moment that was exactly what I wanted. I don't advise people to do it this way, but it does happen sometimes.

Another piece of advice I have is make sure you go to a highly reputable place. Doesn't matter if its a tattoo or a piercing, you need to have an extremely experienced person working on you. Do as much research and also ask around to see what people recommend. My favorite thing to do is if I see a really nice tattoo that has great detail work, I just ask that person where they went.

Just FYI, if you're looking for tattoo ideas, Pinterest has some really amazing stuff.

XOXO

Love Birds

This is my other tattoo. My first tattoo. I wanted something that 
represented the love between my husband and I and this 
did it beautifully. Its 2 swallows. Swallows have several meanings, 
one of them being loyalty. 
When they pick a mate, its for life. 

New Tattoo

This tattoo is from a verse in Pablo Neruda's Sonnet XVII

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep. 

This poem represents so much to me. It possesses the exact feeling I have with my husband. Its a certain closeness between two people that almost feels like your one person. He's my best friend and the love of my life<3.
