why you chose your tattoos

my first tatt i got wen i was 12 or 13 its an iron cross because thats the tatoo all the white people in my town are suposed to get because there isnt many of us. but i instantly regretted that one so i got it covered. i also got a really really bad one when i was drunk but im not even going to say what that one is. and last of all the white rabbit from alice in wonderland, not the cartoon one but the old illustration. i got that one because i have always loved that goddamn rabbit

 

My first tattoo was a tribal dragon flash tattoo. I thought that the dragon would reflect my personality, look really bad ass, and I have never gotten bored with dragons during my 34 years of life. It is a good tattoo done by a biker artist in a small shop, cool guy. I found the tattoo on the internet.


Then I got a portrait of Jerry Garcia because he is a big musical influence in my life, and was a great man and musician. I wanted to add a portrait tattoo to my collection. I looked all over the internet for just the right picture, and my artist did the custom work on my right shoulder. I figure I will love Jerry til' the day I die.

I then got a monkey on my back, because I have a monkey on my back.

My last tattoo is a spider on my right pectoral. I got that one because I thought it would look good on my chest and a spider represents my personality emotionally. The chest is ruled be Cancer and the moon.

 

Well I got that done about a year ago and still loving it. It's so so special to me and I'm so glad I got it done.

I have another tattoo now too, on my left calf. It's the amnesty international symbol for human rights, a candle with barbed wire around it. I got it because first of all, I think it's a beautiful symbol and I really like what it symbolizes. And also, I'm planning on doing my master's degree on human rights and so the tattoo is quite fitting I'd say. :tongue:
