latrines - you gotta love them

Yes. This is me. Nice Polka Dots. Could they BE any larger?
This is at my mom's graduation with her undergraduate when I was just finishing up 7th grade. This was of course B.A.
Before Amber.
I was so innocent. In love with Christian Slater and listening to the B-52s and Paula Abdul.
This was pre-Pueblo. And before A.A.

A.A. - which is of course after Amber, and after many mixed tapes of The Cure, pot, and sneaking out of the house.

Good times. And don't forget the Ginormous polka dots.

Tattoos for my Big Fat ARM!!!

Okay -

well I've decided to hold off on getting the mermaid - since i'm not quite sure where I want it. I AM sure that I have been saving the top portion of my left arm for the last 29 years for a geisha tattoo - that has somehow morphed into a desire for a woman samurai. I have found that there have been very few women warriors and a couple famous ones. Initially I saw a wonderful picture in a book of a long haired geisha. But as I searched for the pic, I realized that I probably won't find it again - SO I might as well move onto my other idea of a woman samurai.
Here are a few of the pics I liked:

I definately like the delicate image of women - with a sword!

The first 3 are some images I liked for just a geisha pic. I really like the lady on a fish ~














I think a tattoo artist could do a lot with that fish one!

Below are the Samurai Women ~

I think this one is my favorite so far:

And I like how this one shows a lot of action:

And this one looks like a card - which I would keep all the borders and writing:

Well? Opinions?

I've decided to at least start my arm while I'm in KC. I'd like to have it done before I go to South America.

Opinions?

You Know It....

Happy Tuesday

Chandelier by Brandon Parigo

I absolutely love this picture. It speaks to me in so many different ways. I am reminded of a ferris wheel and The Great Gatsby at the same time! ha! Funny how images create feelings. I feel I should be eating a coney, or sipping champange!

Brandon's work is awesome.

Check it out!

Well done!

Mermaids Mermaids Mermaids

So I'm thinking of getting a nice little mermaid tattoo. I'm still saving the top portion of my left arm for my big geisha tattoo - but that will require mucho dinero. So for now, I think I will save up for a smaller one, maybe on my back somewhere. Denny sent me this idea below, and I've uploaded some of the other pictures I've come across in my ramblings. I can't decide what I want to go for. This one is pretty cool. It would be nice on an arm or my shoulder blade...

But I really really like pin - ups.

and old school....

and since my other tattoos are classical asian stuff, this might be a good one to keep with the theme - very colorful and very fun

And I think this one is just pure awesome.

This one wasn't a mermaid, but I would like to get it, too. I want it in all the same colors, including the white border - showing that it's a tarot card. I like the idea of having a tarot card on my back....

or neck...

or shoulder...

Well - I guess I'll have to think about it for a while.
