On FIRE
So hello My inked members I hope you had a great weekend I had a relative one I like not sleeping and drinking a bit so this weekend I relaxed a bit slept a minimum always good makes you feel normal again so today I have one little design for you it is the fiery demise of my mind so here we go
My mind is alive with the restoration of things old and distraught what happens if you get caught and burnt what happens if you die do you stay alive with time or do you burn why is it that I so yearn the levels of my inner flesh comes alive with the evil at its best I am hatred and fire spiritual demise I am over the world but slave to its child I am in the world forgotten souls lost in transit like the digital woes I am fear and regret hatred and for long I was sold and outdated yet dreamed of lust strung out and upset now my life I is lending regret if I could have if I should have dream sided violations of an ocean side realm sleeping forever is some of my wishes what have you got to sell by my life with blood and fire as I am
Jenny's Amazing Peacock
Case in point:
I met Jenny and her friend Kate by chance coming out of the subway one day.
Jenny has six tattoos, including this phoenix on her left forearm:
But it was this peacock, further up her arm, that really amazed me:
Generally, the peacock represents self-worth and valuing oneself. In Jenny's words, more poignantly, "be happy with your feathers."
The peacock was tattooed by Poohki at Steady Tattoo in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The phoenix was inked by Trevor Kennedy at the same shop, although he now works in California.
Thanks to Jenny for sharing such wonderful tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
Kate's Snakes
Although it was Jenny (here) who was visibly inked, Kate also had a tattoo, hidden from view.
So when I was done talking to Jenny, I asked Kate if she wanted to share, as well.
Kate unveiled this great tattoo on the lower portion of her back:
(A Tattoosday production note: I never solicit back tattoos but will happily feature them, when offered).
This piece consists of a couple of snakes consuming one another, a symbol of the circular cycle of life, death, and rebirth.
Or, in Kate's words, "what destroys us, sustains us".
This tattoo was inked at Twilight Tattoo in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Thanks to Kate for baring her back and sharing her snakes with us here on Tattoosday!
Update: "Anonymous" commented that this looked like the Auryn from The Neverending Story:
It certainly does! Thanks Anonymous!
