Lotus

[Eye Stigmata]

Hi Everyone,

This is a picture of the tattoo I designed, It will be my 6th tattoo and hopfully a step closer to healing. I've been trying to design a tattoo that would symbolize healing from my rape and child sexual abuse. I think I've finally made the perfect one.

I would appreciate any feedback on this...

It's a bold lotus flower because lotus flowers blossom out of muddy waters and become something beautiful, it's bold to symbolize strength and then...well the words speak for themselves I guess....

I think it's great ES. I love that it blossoms out of muddy waters into something beautiful. :goodjob: Where are you going to put it?

 

[Eye Stigmata]

Thanks STP!
I think I want to get it on my heart. Because it's such a personal tattoo, I don't know that I would want it somewhere that everyone and anyone could see it...
I'm also considering getting it on my right shoulder blade.

 

[Andy]

That's cool! I think it would look good on your shoulder, I'm biased though because that's where I want to get one of my next ones. :goodjob:

 

[Eye Stigmata]

haha...I think it would look good there too.

I'm running out of good places, I've got both wrists done, both ankles done and behind my neck...shoulder seems like a good place though!

 

[Andy]

Is this the last one your getting? Or the last one for now? lol

 

[Eye Stigmata]

Haha....well I started getting tattoos at age 18...and I'm 21 now. SO I'd say this is it for NOW....well....maybe...haha :lol:

Good luck with that. :lol:

I started getting tattoos at 18, and I'm 35 and still not done (although I only have three, but am planning my fourth).

They are addictive; I don't know anyone who has stopped at just one.

When I got my first one my mom said "You're going to regret that when you're 30." I haven't regretted it...and sometimes I remind her of those words. :teehee:

 

[Andy]

I agree. Once you get one the need for more seems to always be there. :goodjob:

Why does this remind me of Krusty the Clown when he was trying to quit smoking and putting The Patch everywhere he could on his body? "Take a look at my butt. There should be room there for another one."

Obviously HE wasn't buttless.

fftopic: This thread is about Krusty the Clown, not your butt or the absence thereof.

Actually, Pot, it's about ES' tattoo.

I know. It was a palindrome, or something.

I don't see any palindromes in this thread.

Wow it's gone from tattoos to clowns to butts to palindromes.

I take offense to this. Being buttless, I am naturally much slower. No need to mock me and rub it in.

 

[Into The Light]

you may be buttless, but you aren't spineless.

 

[David Baxter PhD]

Perhaps not, but snakes are spineless. Why would you want a spineless pet?

I prefer cats. They have gumption.

They have gumption.

I bet it's contagious though...and that's never good.
