Over the weekend I went for the first sitting on my new tattoo:





I'll be going back at some point to get it colored in... :-)

it took just over an hour and a half to do that. filling it in will take double that (plus).

Nice body art, sweets. Although I don't sport any tatoos myself, I can appreciate a good looking tatoo :-)

Very nice, Meegs. Does this have special meaning for you? W

All of my tattoos have meaning for me. :-) But this one specifically, it's a phoenix... mythological bird that when death approaches builds itself a nest of cinnamon and aromatic wood, and lets itself be consumed by the flames. Then, from the ashes, a new phoenix is born.

I like the sybolism behind the new bird rising from the ashes of the old life. I believe we all have parts of our life that feel like that.

There are Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Egyptian, and Native American counterparts of the Phoenix.
