Tat pics per Angie’s request!

Angie, thanks for the interest/enthusiasm in my brief explanation of my tats on your blog post.
Without further ado, here they are! Sorry for the poor lighting for my inner wrist/forearm tat.
I ended up getting a scar on the border a few months after I got it. I haven’t gone to see if it can be fixed because it’s serving not only as the reminder to be true to who I am & keep my heart on my sleeve (no matter what life throws at me) but also to accept life’s imperfections!
The first pic of my Morning Glory was moments after it was completed.
If anyone has any comments, please feel free to share.
Advance apologies if it’s tomorrow before I can reply but my pup was just spayed, I’ve had several day migraine and my Mom was recently let out of the hospital, so crazy-town over here.

WOW. How beautiful. The sentiments too. Very special and heartfelt, jlpp. I LOVE the way your earrings match the tattoo in #2.

Hope puppy is doing well, that your migraine is gone, and that Mum is stable. Much love to you. (Yesterday's post might make you smile).

I love the 3D effect that the artist has achieved with your morning glory.

I love your tattoos. My sister is a teacher and has multiple tattoos. There's a vulnerability with being able to express you are with art on your

Symbolism behind my Morning Glory ... it is my birth month flower (September) & was once viewed as a floral symbol of tenacity (I’ve been tenacious since born a preemie with respiratory distress syndrome & onwards ...). But the funny thing is, I was strongly drawn to the flower before I even discovered that stuff.

Thank you, bridgie & Cardiff girl, I appreciate the compliments and comments! I am glad it doesn’t look flat.

Getting a tat on my neck, I was sure people would have opinions or comments but in public, not one word has ever been uttered (maybe mentally muttered, ha) about it but people have stopped to comment on my heart!

Angie, thank you much for the supportive words, the joy of Spidey Sam and the enthusiasm. Much love backatcha! Although I can easily cover my Morning Glory with my hair, most often I pull my hair out of the way and rock some type of matching earrings.
I dig the complementary look & thought you might too! Migraine still looming but less intense, Puppy is crated because she is one mischievous Mexican jumping bean of a girl. Into everything & the hoppingest Basset ever. And she’s alternating between lethargy and loopiness.
In December she managed to knock over a high night stand, grab a pin cushion and pull out & eat the needle all in less than the time it took me to turn my back, take 3 steps then turn around and get back. So the spay is surgery number 2. And the first one was $1270!

But she’s springing back nicely.

Mom is more stable, ty. I am glad your Papa is doing as well as he is.

cindysmith, xxx. Thank you.
I saw your comment elsewhere about feeling like you belong on the isle of misfit toys. Would you believe I have a plastic peace sign necklace dangling from my rearview mirror with the misfit polka dotted elephant on it?
Congrats on 13 years. And your tats, too. I grew up in Alateen & Alanon, so I admire you.

Ledonna N, happy to see you and Z Joy back! I agree with your insights and your Sis sounds kewl.
Thank you for the tat love.

Hoping to be around responding to threads more shortly but wanted y’all to know I read & appreciate the replies/thoughts!

Also, I finally got to give appreciation awards, Yay!

Beautiful tattoos, jipp and I love the stories behind them. I am a September baby too. I didn't know that we had a flower. I love how you wear the earrings to complement the flower. Lovely.
Hope you are feeling better.

OH MY WORD, jllp. You have a spirited little puppy on your hands. A super hero in the making. Hope you and pup are resting up.

Are you Libra or Virgo?

Thx, Julie!

Angie, Opal is still hoping to partner up with Spidey/Super Sam and make mischief but in the meantime, she’s putting the work in on her own, lol.
