Ink'd grrrls and tattooed femmes

[jules5041]

I have four tattoos. The first one I have is of an orca whale on my ankle. To me it represents a free spirit that can be captured by noone and nothing. I got it on the anniversary date that I was supposed to get married to a bio male. I am glad I got the tattoo instead! :-)

The second tattoo I got was of the japanese symbol for love. It is a black tattoo with the initials of my former partner in red. I thought I could outwit the ole saying "don't put anybody's initials on your body", but after ten years we split. Still have the tattoo...

The third tattoo I got was the japanese symbol for best friend with a subtitle for the number ten. It also black with the initials of my best friend who committed suicide in green. I got it on the tenth anniversary of her death.

The last tattoo and by far my favorite is an orange daisy on my big toe. I got it totally and completely for me. I wear flip flops a lot and I love to look down and see it. It makes me smile everytime!

I really want another tattoo, but I don't know what of. I have this rule that I have to know EXACTLY the tattoo I want and the location of it for a whole year before I go under the needle. If I waver one day for one minute then the year starts over again. Just a little rule I have so that I don't end up with tattoos all over my body that do not mean anything. Just my own little code, I guess.

I love tattoos on other people. I love to know what they represent or what their meaning is. I love, love, love tattoos on a butch.

My favorite tattoo I ever saw was Carmen's (I think that was her name) on the L word. It was a tribal that went all the way around her hips. It is hot on a femme.

Thanks for reading!!!

I little too extreme for me, but they can be beautiful.

I had one sitting in my shoe album (yes, I have a shoe album, don't judge me!). It's not easy to see, but it's a multicolored music staff with the notes to "Here I Am, Lord" inscribed inside.



The shoes are BCBG Patent Peep Toes, for anyone who might share my obsession with los zapatos!

Very true!!! Most people who practice this will NOT cut anyone with a history of self harm. I have been cut by two people and for one, I went through an interviewing process. He will not teach anyone unless they go through an extensive Q & A session.

The other person who cuts me also asked a lot of questions and really took time to get to know me first. To my knowledge she has not cut anyone else since she relocated to this area-probably three years ago.

Corset piercings are gorgeous!!! They also tend to be temporary for obvious reasons. I once had a similar version done but instead of piercings, it was surgical staples-really nice & temporary.

My tattoo has a lot of meaning for me-it is my kids' initials...
