Sitting, waiting, at LDF Tattoos in Newtown ~ I had a consult in June to design my pieces. After 3 attempts at appointments for the ink, Friday was finally the day!
From my tattooist's (Melanie Milne) portfolio; for all my blogger buddies who are Disney fanatics, I snapped this pic for you :)
Melanie at work ~ it's like she was made for me ~ we talked music, books, travel, fur babies, and more.
I don't have any tattoos and I'm to indecisive to ever get any, most likely, but that book one is so beautiful! And so fitting! I love the blue bonnets too. Gorgeous work and design!

ReplyDeleteI love how you incorporated the two countries!
ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous! Love them! I have one tattoo. It's on my shoulder blade and it's a quote: a room without books is like a body without a soul.
ReplyDeleteYour tattoos are pretty cool - I love the meaning behind them and how they reflect your life! I don't have any . . . not sure that I ever will, but I can surely appreciate them on others!!
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful. Love the significance of the Texas tat, and of course I adore the book tat! I have two tattoos but they're pretty small and they're words.
ReplyDeleteNo tattoos here. I have an idea for one but don't know if I'll ever get it.
ReplyDeleteI love how much thought you'd put into yours though.
These are gorgeous!! I especially love the book one, of course ;-) I want a dandelion (clock kind) on my foot but I don't even know how to go about finding a place to have it done here! I already have 3 tattoos but the place I got them done (in England) has closed.
ReplyDeleteYAY INK! I really like the significance of the flower tattoo, and of course books are quite fitting.
ReplyDeleteI am probably going to combine a running tattoo and a Disney tattoo to commemorate the 2 challenges I did in 2016. I'm torn on what I want the running part to say, but I've got several options and I'm just afraid "I can go the distance" (from Hercules) might be too cheesy. I also love "one more mile".
I'd also like a tree/paisley design thingy that incorporates "Be still and know" in it. I've wanted that verse as a quote for a long time and I've seen really pretty tattoos online when I search it, but I don't want to outright copy them. Ok, I kinda do, but I'm not sure feathers are really for me.
Permanent life choices are hard!
I absolutely love your tattoos and I love all the things they represent for you! That book one is amazing. I love all the elements you tied into the "home" tattoo, too! So awesome!
ReplyDeleteI have one small tattoo on the inside of my left foot. (Actually, not everyone in my family knows about it. Ha.) It's the Deathly Hallows symbol from Harry Potter :) HP was the first series I remember reading that got me SO excited about reading and writing. Plus, I grew up with the series and take pride in being the Potter generation :) Haha!
i LOVE your tattoos as you know. the color is so vibrant - just like you! and so much planning and thought were put into them. they are perfection. i love how your arm one has a mix of both homes in the most perfect way. i always say with tattoos - they mean so much and people should not be afraid - you're wearing a work of art everywhere you go! :)

ReplyDeleteLove your tattoos! The colors are so pretty!!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the symbolism behind your designs and I also love the bright cheery colours. Your tattoo artist is one talented lady! I hope you're busy enjoying your new ink right now :)
ReplyDeleteI love how both tattoos turned out, but especially the one of with the state flowers of both Texas and Sydney! It's just so pretty and colorful and meaningful too!
ReplyDeleteYup, I still love your book tattoo, it's so cool. I'll eventually post my tattoo stories - I have ten. I have to get someone to take pictures of them all for me. :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE your concepts and the finished work. So beautiful and special! Your artist sure has a gift.
ReplyDeleteI love the book tattoo, LOVE it! I have 5 tattoos and I really only love my newest which you've seen. The others serve to remind me of chapters in my life while not really what I'd choose now I don't regret them either. :)
