Eeyore- My 2 sons and my DH's son don't want any either, but my DH has 11 right now and going for an even dozen one of these days too. I don't know what it is about it, must be my mid-life crisis, perimenopausal thing? LOL

Giz, that is funny - "I am making myself only get one more LOL" I think almost everyone says something like that after their first. Once they see how great it looks and discover that it is NOT super painful, the mind starts to move on to the next 'one more small one'. I just hope that everyone thinks long and hard before getting any tattoo; make sure you can visualize it in your mind when you are 70 yrs old and gravity is pulling your skin down. You have to love the idea behind your tattoo and then nothing that time does to you or it will make a bit of a difference. My latest is a dedication to the most influential person in my life, so any amount of pain is meaningless when compared to its significance. If I could find a nice pic of Eeyore (the cartoon character, not the human character), I will get it tattood on me, so Eeyore, send me your fave pic of yr name and I'll get it done. So have fun, be safe, and express yourself.

Giz, Yeah, I have an idea on the other two I want..just need to find the perfect picture first.. One will be a White Tiger, probably on my shoulder, or chest..the other a pair of intertwined dolphins positioned vertically...might go on calf or on my thigh to cover up a nasty scar... you made me laugh about the "making myself get one more.." Shadoe, I love your attitude about your tattoo's!! Alwayzmovin, yes, they are, huh?! Did you get that 4th one?

I do plan to get two more - one a "G" probably on my back/shoulder, in a nice script or medieval type font. The other would be the aforementioned dolphins, possibly on my leg.

Well, I went to look for a picture of Kali and the first one I pulled up made even me cringe. She sounds like an amazing Goddess, but so many arms! http://www.siamese-dream.com/reference/kali.html Maybe one day I may consider that statue for a tattoo - once I think of where to put it - but in the meantime, I will feel better getting a small Eeyore. What is he anyways? A donkey?

Ok, ok you twisted my arm Eeyore. I'll take that picture from the link I put in here and see what my tattooist says. I still don't know where to put it, but I do know it will be fairly large in order to do justice to the details. There is one thing that most people don't realize: when you look at a picture, sometimes you cannot tattoo it at the size of the picture, instead it must be enlarged to capture the fine details in the picture. Kali will be my first deity tattoo! Eeyore, if you send me your favorite Eeyore picture, I will get it tattooed in a spot I can show you with a picture.

Eeyore - I have a weeping buddha but whether he was a deity or god, I have not checked. As far as I know, there was only one main buddha born Prince Siddhartha. This link is from the same site and it has a list of all the gods and goddesses under buddhist/hinduism. http://www.siamese-dream.com/reference/reference.html In the meantime, send me your favorite Eeyore picture.

I finally finished my weeping buddha/koi tattoo.
In the new year, I will start on my Kali/Shiva tattoo on my back between my shoulder blades. This one will be my biggest so far.
My tattooist is working on the sketch now. We are making a few alterations to the above item, like no platform under Shiva and possible a skirt instead of all the arms. What this tattoo means to me would take forever to explain, but the short of it is all about the women in my family, to all mothers, and to Eeyore as well. It will be about 7inches wide and about 10inches long

Something interesting: "The third deity of the Hindu triad of great gods, the Trimurti. Shiva is called the Destroyer, but has also the aspect of regeneration. As destroyer he is dark and terrible, appearing as a naked ascetic accompanied by a train of hideous demons, encircled with serpents and necklaces of skulls. As auspicious and reproductive power, he is worshipped in the form of the Linga, or phallus. Shiva is depicted as white, with a dark-blue throat, with several arms and three eyes. He carries a trident and rides a white bull. His consort is Parvati (Devi). " That should be beautiful Shadoe.

Shadoe, where is that located on you? It's really detailed and with a great use of color. What is the writing at the bottom? It's really something!
