Vacanick - I always have a great time at the show. I am waiting to see the convention pictures posted on the BMEzine site. Their photographers were walking around and asked if they could take a picture of my tattoo. Since I have a fair number, I asked which one LOL. They seemed to like the colored sleeve so took a picture of that one. I said I like my newest one, the blossoms, and they took a picture of them as they truly are impressive when seen in person. Even if my ink is not posted, it's nice to see the better work that was done or presented at the show. You can spend the whole weekend there, and can still miss alot. I watched a couple guys get tattoos from the Borneo guys - one was this very tough looking guy getting the one under the chin that runs down either side of your throat. As tough as he was, even he had to get up and take a walk around for a break. There was another guy waiting to get one - it was going to be his first tattoo LOL. I smiled and said Oh yeah? Luckily he was getting it on his outer calf so it should not have been too painful for him. I am still tired from the show and don't feel like doing much, which is the reason I take a couple days off work just to recharge.

If you need more skin, I have a whole bunch. You could probably make another whole leg or something with it.

LOL - OK Hukd, you come out when the convention is here next year and we will use your skin if I run out of mine. Seriously I have tons of skin left; it's just a matter of fitting stuff in the empty spots.

The back as you requested. I have more to do, but am spending more time money and effort at the gym. Eventually I will go back for that last of the colors.

Wow Shadoe! That's awesome! Cindori and I spent our 4th of July at the tattoo shop.... Cin loves celestial things, so she got the 'lady' in the moon. I love Looney Tunes and hockey (so does Cin. She turned me on to it in the first place) so it just made sense to combine the two.

Tiger - do the jersey numbers have any special significance?

Yeah Mocha, the picture doesn't do them justice, there are some deep 'aubergine's' in it. Eeyore, yes they do. Have you read the 'Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy'? The answer to 'what is the meaning of life and everything' is 42. Cindori is my 42..my answer to everything. 27 is just a funny thing Cin and I share...and it's my favorite number.

Yes!! I love HHGTG!! I love that a hooloovoo helped build the Heart of Gold, and a hooloovoo is a highly intelligent shade of the color blue. LOL That is an awesome reference, and totally sweet that you call Cindori your number 42.

Tiger, I have to say that both of the tattoos are just perfect. It's the meanings inside the tattoos that are the most important. Eeyore asked the question I first thought - What's the meaning behind the numbers. I love looney tunes and the colors in the moon will change more as the tattoo heals. It is so hard to capture and do justice to most tattoos in pictures; you see them in person and only then can you truly appreciate them.

Shadoe, you're so right, the inside meaning really is the important part, it makes them that much more special, thank you. Yeah, they do look so much better in person, don't they?! Vacanick, thank you, we really like them!! We love to share them with anyone that wants to see them! Heck, we even went right out and bought a bunch of tank tops so everyone can enjoy them

That's so funny Tiger! I got my first tattoo in January on my back hip and I've been dieting and exercising because I want to show off my tat as well. It makes me feel sexy knowing it's there and if someone just happens to get a peek then that's great too!

Heh Vacanick, We know what you mean!! Cin has one on her lower back that you can see if she wears low cut jeans.. I have a big Tiger across the top of my back that makes me feel cool just knowing it's there...For some reason stores and restaurants frown on you for coming in without a shirt on. LOL!

Tiger, I think the most awesome tattoos are the ones that are like your hockey guys - nobody would ever know why you picked the jersey numbers but you know and that's all that matters. It's sort of like having a secret or inside joke. Many others can be serious dedications to someone or something; those are the ones that are the most powerful. I have a couple of those and having them is more important than anyone else ever seeing them. I draw strength from them.

Shadoe, I totally agree!! The artist didn't ask me what they meant (surprised me) but he was more than happy to incorporate them into the design. What really surprises me is in the 2 1/2 days that I've had it, that is the FIRST thing everyone asks, and it makes me smile. Thank you again. I have read the backstory you've posted about some of your tattoos, and it is no wonder you draw strength from them...very powerful and beautiful.

I have a serious itch to get a new tattoo or body piercing this summer.... Cin, I really like your moon. About how big is it? The colors are gorgeous. Nice one on you too, Tiger.

Hermi, go for it!! We're addicted! I'll answer your question since my Sweetest Cin is out of town the rest of the week. I would say that the picture is just about actual size...It's about 3 1/2" tall. Her moon is gorgeous, the picture doesn't do the colors justice. She was so happy to hear you gave her a shout out in your awesome update (so funny)! Thank you! I like mine too! Thank you.
