I am sorry for your loss. &nbsp;This is a lovely way to remember her. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-ink/page/2#post-1451200 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 21:08:09 +0000 approprio 1451200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much&nbsp;everyone for your thoughts and virtual hugs! I had no idea this thread would turn out like this, and I can't tell you how comforting it's been to be able to share this.<br /><b><br />Meredith</b>, I love what you say about this coming to feel like part of me, it already feels very natural that I should have it.&nbsp;But I have to accept&nbsp;that this is now a necessary consideration in how I get dressed, and I should&nbsp;be conscious of when to show or hide it.</p> <p><b>Hil,&nbsp;</b>that's a beautiful triskelion with a very poignant meaning behind it. And too funny about your mom! I think I'm going to have to tell my mother&nbsp;though, because I'd hate for her to find it smeared all over the Internet and discover she was last to know. That would be wrong.</p> <p>And I've been thinking about my girl a lot today. I'll be&nbsp;visiting her family when I'm in the UK next week.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-ink/page/2#post-1451070 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 17:34:46 +0000 Hil 1451070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also late to comment but I love it. And I love that you did it in memory of a special friend. </p> <p>I do identify with that "wow" tempered with "omg" - I felt the same after I got mine. And a year later, I've still managed to not show my mom. I've also found myself being a lot more aware of other people with ink since getting mine. </p> <p>Ps My tattoo is a Celtic triskelion, a symbol of the cycle of a women's life, maiden, mother and crone. I found my passion in doula work a few years ago and this felt like a fitting symbol of my passion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-ink/page/2#post-1451053 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 16:54:53 +0000 Rubygirl 1451053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for posting the last picture appropio.. Looks very nice.. The black will settle down as it heals. It will peel but that is part of the normal healing process. Congrats again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-ink/page/2#post-1451049 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 16:20:56 +0000 Meredith 1451049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm late to comment, but I wanted to say how moved I was by your story. The finished product is wonderful, and I know it will quickly feel like it has always been a part of you. I do not have a tattoo, but would consider one. At church of all places I have seen art compiled with photos of tattoos and it made me think a lot about how we are all marked by our stories whether we choose to show it outwardly or not. Hugs to you as you honor your friend and seek healing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-ink/page/2#post-1451045 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 16:00:49 +0000 Diana 1451045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a fantastic design and I just love the sentiment behind it. Really enjoyed your blog post too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-ink/page/2#post-1451034 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 15:26:00 +0000 Astrid 1451034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for posting the last picture, it's helpful to see it in relation to the rest of you. I think it's a good placement and size! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-ink/page/2#post-1451022 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 15:06:24 +0000 Angie 1451022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It really is quite spectacular. Thanks for the last photo with outfit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-ink/page/2#post-1450981 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 12:48:11 +0000 approprio 1450981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So today I'm rising to the challenge of styling my new perma-accessory. I do love it, it feels very authentically me,&nbsp;but the "wow" factor is definitely tempered with a slight feeling of&nbsp;"omg what have I done?!" I'm trying to work out how to break this to my mother. She will be horrified.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>rubygirl:</b>&nbsp;thanks for the reminder to moisturise! It's not sore at all, and seems to be heeling nicely.&nbsp;I think I'll be wearing short sleeves layered with blazers for a few days so as not to irritate it. I'm looking forward to seeing the colour settle down as the black looks rather harsh just now.</p> <p>I want &nbsp;to thank you all&nbsp;once again for your support during a very cathartic process of acceptance and moving on. You&nbsp;really are amazing. :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-ink/page/2#post-1450898 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 03:38:53 +0000 Sveta 1450898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not big on the tattoo thing but yours is so meaningful and thoughtful that it makes a perfect sense - and it turned out beautifully. What a beautiful and touching post and a tribute to your departed friend. Thank you for sharing this story with us! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-ink/page/2#post-1450884 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 03:03:44 +0000 Rubygirl 1450884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah!&nbsp;Very nice Appropio. He did a very good job. The sting will go away. <br />Just remember to&nbsp;keep it moisturized. That is most important.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-ink/page/2#post-1450710 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 21:41:10 +0000 Caro in Oz 1450710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad it worked :)&nbsp;Great blog post &amp; big hug to you.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-ink/page/2#post-1450703 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 21:30:23 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1450703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a gorgeous tribute </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-ink/page/2#post-1450702 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 21:24:10 +0000 Greyscale 1450702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It came out really well.

(No, not really). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-ink/page/2#post-1450694 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 20:56:02 +0000 approprio 1450694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>AM</b>, you don't need to tell me! Endorphins are the best thing about sustained pain and vigorous exercise. And with the glasses it all fell into place. Champagne for "Celine",&nbsp;my real friend. Real pain from Joey, my sham friend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-ink/page/2#post-1450693 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 20:55:49 +0000 CocoLion 1450693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-ink/page/2#post-1450681 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 20:25:20 +0000 AM 1450681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And I just read the blog post. Nicely done, I can see the creative wizardry of the endorphins have taken effect. And a true artist you are. Wine glasses. Of course there would be layered meaning to your mark. A sign of excellence in the world of identities and marks. More impressed then ever.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-ink/page/2#post-1450677 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 20:16:49 +0000 AM 1450677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so thrilled, you're&nbsp;thrilled. Sorry to focus on the endorphin high -- but man, love the&nbsp;endorphins. Great backstory on finding Joey. He laid some dope ink on you! **Ya gotta talk like this when were talkin' ink** </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-ink/page/2#post-1450672 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 20:05:13 +0000 Angie 1450672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's sooo random and fortuitous, approprio. And I have a good idea where it is too. A BARBER shop of all things.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-ink/page/2#post-1450670 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 20:00:36 +0000 approprio 1450670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie</b>: I got it done at the impossibly hip Haar Barbaar.&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://haarbarbaar.nl">Just look at these guys!</a>&nbsp;The shop is on&nbsp;on Rosmarijnsteeg between Spuistraat and Niewezijds Voorburgwaal, a couple of blocks from Spui. &nbsp;</p> <p>I'd been shopping around for ages, talked to loads of other tattooists, and nobody felt quite right. Then one day I passed the shop, saw all the old fashioned barber's chairs... I dropped in, chatted with Joey and it just clicked.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-ink/page/2#post-1450660 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 19:46:00 +0000 Astrid 1450660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just read your blog post which really touched me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-ink/page/2#post-1450653 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 19:40:04 +0000 Sara L. 1450653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good!&nbsp; Lovely story and I like the design you chose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-ink/page/2#post-1450651 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 19:38:38 +0000 Angie 1450651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW.

It's so beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-ink/page/2#post-1450542 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 17:06:56 +0000 Archer 1450542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have to live with it. Events change in significance over time. I still have the 4 tats from my own radiotherapy for BC. Thats enough. Not sure if I want or respect what anyone else would like to do to star in my life with me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-ink#post-1450531 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 16:51:39 +0000 approprio 1450531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Astrid</b>, no more than you would expect&nbsp;being repeatedly stabbed with tiny needles would hurt. Skin is feeling slightly grazed just now.&nbsp; </p> <p><b>AM,&nbsp;</b>funny you should say that. I'm definitely getting a bit of an endorphin high.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-ink#post-1450526 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 16:43:05 +0000 AM 1450526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations is right!&nbsp;That looks great.
