Mine and my husband’s tattoos to commemorate our wedding day and the commitment we made. It’s from Ponyo, one of our favorite movies with the wedding date underneath. His is on the left, on his thigh. Mine is on the right, on my shoulder. We picked this image because the story of innocent, pure love in the movie is the kind of love we want to have in our life with one another. We got these done at Hot Stuff Tattoo in Asheville, NC.
This is my portrait of the father of horror, Edgar Allan Poe, my hero (portrait was done by David Tran, Moss Norway). I love Mr. Poe’s work, especially “The Tell-Tale Heart” and “The Black Cat”. Lets be honest, Edgar was not a very handsome man, but he was a brilliant man, so I did not get his portrait printed on my skin forever ‘cos of his looks. I got his portrait done ‘cos, not only do I love his work, I admire him ‘cos he managed to live a life which was full of pain. I used to feel sorry for myself for every little detail, but now, I know that no matter how bad things gets, I’ll always survive ‘cos people has been through a lot worse than I.
The start of my half sleeve that, when completed, will feature all of the cartoon characters I’ve watched over and over again. I’m getting mostly characters that represent the ideas of imagination and adventure to remind myself to always stay creative even as I get older and get caught up in working, etc. I also plan on majoring in character animation in school. :)
i got this tattoo for various reasons. it is not finished as yet.
Im a buddhist… hence the buddha, I design tattoos for people and have a strong respect for the pioneers of the ‘sailor jerry’ style tattoo so thats explains the blue ink and older style mini tats.
The bandana and the Hug life are a vague reference to tupac ad his epicness to the maxx.
i guess what im saying is just try to enjoy your life and if you want to get covered in tattoos, thats cool… hug life.
