Tattoos and piercings...hmmm. Yea I have em. I will start with piercings. I have the normal ear piercings and at one point I had my ears pierced double. But my right side grew back so my right ear only has one piercing. Now my left has three. The double and when I was 14 (24 years ago) I had the top of my left ear pierced. It has never grown back. I have gone months if not a year without wearing an earring in it, too. As of piercings thats all I have. Though I really wanted to pierce my tongue. But since I have a heart murmur its not recommended to even have your teeth cleaned without taking high doses of antibiotic so I never ventured for the tongue. When I was younger I wanted to pierce my nose. My dad talked me out of that one.
Tattoos. I have four but want more. I would love to have a partial sleeve but tattoos are not really seen as the best thing to have when you are a teacher. My first tattoo is on my ass. It's a devils tail that is in the shape of a question mark with a halo. I got this to remind me that only I can decide if I am good or evil. The reason behind it was when I was the event planner for the city/chamber I went in front of our city council and a large portion of our bible thumping community to request permission to have beer and wine sold at a bike rally I was organizing. I had some people say some very mean things to me and get very personal. This was something that was expressed as wanted and I was the one who was given the job to fight for it and I did. FYI, I won and since then there have been several events in the community that now allows alcohol sales. During these meetings I dealt with a lot of people passing judgement on me and saying mean things. I was even laughed at by one of the local preachers. That stung but preachers are human and I have the power to choose not to enter his church, too. Anyways, the last day of the event, I went to dinner with friends and my husband. Afterwards, I went and got the tattoo. Not even a month later I had my second one on my right foot. I grew up wanting to be "Jessie's Girl" (you know the song by Rick Springfield, if not what a sad life you must live). Well I am Jason's girl so on my right foot I have it with flames and a Hawaiian flower. Tattoo number three came shortly after the second one. When my niece, K-bird (who was 4 at the time) saw my foot she grilled me about it not having any pink in it. So, my third tattoo is a heart with a cross and a ring. Stands for Love, Life and Loyalty. The heart is pink for my K-bird. My last tattoo has faded and really did not work out as planned. Its on the side of my left foot, part of it has faded and part is too dark and just didn't work the way it should have. It had scroll work and hibiscus flower and it says, "Not all who wander are lost." One of my favorite quotes. One day I will figure what to do to fix it but it was also the most painful of my tattoos too, so there has been no rush for it to be done. lol. I plan on a couple more tattoos. I want a peace sign that has the word veritas with it (The truth will bring you peace). I also would like a bird not sure what kind but I want a bird. I am sure I could sit here and type all day talking of tattoos I want. But I won't its been a long day and I am worn out. So have a good one ~ <3 Peace <3 ~
