Commemorative Tattoo

Hey guys,

I'm thinking of getting this as my next tattoo to commemorate my time at college in the states. It symbolizes the friendships that I made quickly and how they will continue to grow over the rest of my life. I miss my friends there so much, and there is a bit of a story behind the cicada.

On induction day I was put into a group with other freshmen, and some other students who were more senior in ranking. One of them, called Tovah picked up on the fact that I was a bit lonely and on the way to another part of the school we found a dead cicada on the ground. We picked it up and called it Harold, and he was our little way of talking to each other. We'd put him in each others mailboxes and write little notes from him to each other. One day though, he went missing, never to return to our mailboxes, but he is still in our hearts. If only as a special memory of those tough couple of first days at school.


I really do think that I'll get a tattoo of a cicada just for that memory, as it's very precious to me.

This is my friend adam's tattoo, he's a member of the armed forces and this is a symbol of his regiment I believe... :)

Here are some pictures of my friend Khali's tattoos. She gets most of hers done at a place called Bodification in Northampton, UK.

Getting a tattoo done is a very personal thing. It could be to commemorate the passing of a loved one, or to celebrate the birth of a new child. It could be to cherish a pet, or to state your love for someone close to your heart. It could be because you think the design is pretty and suits you, or because you have a love for films, music, television or books. All in all what you get is completely and utterly up to you! Some people get them on a whim, like myself, or take years to decide what they want, neither way is wrong at all, but you have to remember that they're there forever, but that coverups are available, hahaha.

My Tattoos

Hey guys,
So last week I got my 6th tattoo, and I haven't really used this in a while, so I thought I'd share that with you all.

Here is a picture of my latest one and the others are starting with the most recent going into the past.
Enjoy!!!





Here's my second most recent tattoo, my friend Claire designed it for me and I love it...:




and the one before that, that the tattoo artist designed for me the day i got it done:



and the next ones are the ones i got before that. The star was the one i got before the fish and the crop circle that you can just see on the side of my foot is the one I got before the star:



and this is the first tattoo I got:




Over and out for now. Next time I'm going to show you designs that i'd like to have on my body forever... :)
