Got Ink?


Summer of 1994 - "party dot" 
I was at Moe's house and her mom was doing a tattoo on one of our friends. I asked him "Hey, Bones... does it hurt?" Moe's mom literally grabbed my hand, did a ZZZZT on my hand and said "did that hurt?" and i said "No, it tickled" and she said "let me know when you're ready for a real one". 

summer of 1996 - 1st "real" tattoo - "Cross w/ Black Bleeding Rose"
you must have faith in love even when your heart is bruised and bleeding

Eventually this is going to get covered up - it was a horrible hometat by Moe's mom and when I had the person who did my pentacle/gemini symbol "fix" it (cuz he did a great job on the pentacle) it just got more messed up... So the issue is: I don't regret that tattoo; I wish it was NICER than it is; HOWEVER, my life was messy (yes, even at 16 it was a mess) so maybe it's meant to be this way?

mid summer 2001 - pentacle with the Gemini II
 i have the power within myself
It seems to be a never ending struggle with depression for me. So I got this one to permantly put THE power symbol on me - a pentacle - and coupled that with my zodiac sign - the Gemini II to remind myself that all things are possible and I have the power within myself to overcome.

7-30-13 - Comedy & Tragedy
The two masks associated with drama represent the traditional generic division between comedy and tragedy. They are symbols of the ancient Greek Muses, Thalia and Melpomene. Thalia was the Muse of comedy (the laughing face), while Melpomene was the Muse of tragedy (the weeping face).
We must laugh through the tragedy of our past as we laugh into the pain of our future

7-19-2014 - The Black Widow's signature with black widow spider
Cool story: I was joking around with Maverick when we were in Iowa for a pool tournament that I was gonna get Jeanette Lee's signature tattooed on my arm. He said; if you get her to sign your arm we'll find a tattoo shop. Well, that night during the banquet she told her story of how she's over come the odds and she is such an inspiration; she's had back surgeries and cancer too. Later that night during her meet & greet I asked her to sign my arm and she said "it's gonna wash off" and I said that I was going to tattoo her signature on me. She was in total shock said "It's just my name!" so I explained how she'd always be my inspiration to stay strong and never give up along with my cancer survivor butterfly and I showed her that and she said to tell her my story and I did. She cried, stood up and gave me the biggest, longest hug and signed my arm. We went after we are finished with the tournament for the day and found a parlor and made it permanent.

3-18-2015 - Virgo & Gemini woven together
Maverick doesn't like getting tattoos and I finally talked him into getting a matching one with me -  cuz honestly he's not going anywhere and neither am I. Maverick is a Virgo and I am a Gemini. Our love for conversation drives our relationship; we can talk for hours and hours and never lose content to talk about. He's an earth sign so he's more ground and I'm an air sign; he helps keeps me ground and safe. 

7-2010  Maverick's Cover-up
This use to be his ex-wife's name in a heart. I told him on several occasions that if he thought about asking me to marry him that he would need to get it either removed or covered up. A little over a year after his proposal of marriage he finally got it covered up.
