I'm a bit of a tattooed biddy and I have kind of a thing for ink. I'd love to see some pics of people's ink and hear your stories about what your tatts mean to you, if anything, or the story behind the design, who did it, when, why, etc.
This is one of mine. I call her Ursula.
She's a Zuni Indian bear fetish...although I know she doesn't look much like one. She was drawn by an ex-boyfriend a long time ago and I didn't have a good example for him to use, so I don't really have anyone else to blame but myself, heh.
People sometimes ask me if it's the California bear (no), or if I'm a republican because they think it's the California bear (no), or if it's a pig (no, it's a bear). So the tatt takes some explaining which can sometimes be a pain in the butt, or not, depending on my mood. I also like the black bear because, in Celtic legend, the hunter goddess often traveled with a black bear who served as her protector.
I like simple graphics, iconic shapes, etc, which is why I picked that particular design. I'm also a fan of '50s pop art and architecture, specifically space race graphics, which is why I got the stars and planets tattooed around her. At some point in the future, I'd like to get some more work done, some more decorative detail around the tatt, but I need to find a good tattoo artist and also find the money to get it done.
So show me your tatts and tell me your stories. I'd love to see and hear them.
