let me clarify that this is a much larger size gauge than I'm working towards. Mine is higher up my lobe. So I still wear regular earrings then post above them then one ear has the small gauge. I'll ask Meggie to take a pic some day and ask her to help me post it. My nose post is even smaller than this young ladies. My daughter thought this would give y'all an idea of what I'm doing but it isn't a fair representation for me cuz I'm going for a different look.

It is Beautiful Eris! Ankles when at the bone can hurt too lol.

Thanks Hermione! I am excited about it. Today I accidently scraped it and OMG it hurt so bad. It is calming down now. I think it is just a picture of some girl who has a ear gauge that Pamznic was explaining what one looked like.

Has anyone seen Chy around the board lately? I'd love for her to be able to tell me what this says. (I know what I *think* it says, I'd be curious if she can confirm or deny... lol)



I got these characters out of a book of Tao meditations. I'm planning to add a tiger and a monkey. The tiger (Donners' chinese zodiac) will be lying near the bottom, looking up at the monkey (my chinese zodiac) who will be hanging off of one of the top characters. I'd like to add some more detail to this, so it's not just the chinese characters. Colour, too.

LOVE the updated look, Dolphin! And Paz, kudos to you for going with the guages. No way I'd do that. Funny, tattoos and tongue piercing, OK; guages, not so much.

We have a couple of students at my school who have gauges about the size of quarters. They are both boys, too.

I never did satisfy my yen for some extra body modification this summer. I still have a couple of tats I want to get, but I really do want to go down a couple of sizes first.

Karen, I think I saw Chy in the BB area today.

Karen I love the idea of the tiger looking up and the money looking down and hanging over to look at the tiger. That sounds pretty awesome and I can't wait to see it when it is done.

My tat is at its itching and peeling stage lol. The spot that I accidently scraped is a thicker scab, so I hope it won't scar.

I thought that's what my tattoo was, but I was told it was too high to be a tramp stamp. I'll have to get a picture of it to share.

Thanks, Hermi. I PM'd her.

I'm glad the one I have on my lower back is too high to be classified a 'tramp stamp'. Somehow the maple leaf does not induce feelings of trampiness, LOL. I really like your new tat though, Kona. Very pretty.

Karen:

I'm here after a call interruption.
Is it meant to be three or four characters? I'm not really familiar with Taoism, only a few lessons in Jr. Hi.. I want to say I see four words.
The first one is laughter/laughing,~~ it suppose to look like laughing person's face w/ laughing slits for eyes and wrinkles around your nose.
Then the second and third combined means "Child's innocence". While the second one is "child" and the third one "heart". (It's one of those pictogram, the word looks like a heart, doesn't it?)
The fourth word is "Is".

I'm really unfamiliar with that saying. I would have rearrange the words to fit Chinese grammar. But when it comes to the kind of Old(Classic) Chinese that was used to write the Tao sayings, it could have been just right.

Is this what you think it is? Glad I could help!

Yay Chy!! Thank you so much!! In Vancouver there is a large Asian population and I've always been sort of paranoid that words get lost in translation, and I'd look like an idiot for having the wrong characters. I have a friend who had the character for 'spirit' tattooed. She wanted spirit, as in, "faith / hope", the character she ended up getting was spirit, but more the "ghost" meaning. Oops!

It's not supposed to be a phrase, the words aren't meant to go together in a sentence. It was three characters that I selected, and I chose them because I was told that the first one was LAUGHTER. Correct. :-)

The second one, I thought said HEART. Like, a pure type of love, an innocent heart, so the 'child innocence' as the first part of the character there makes sense, too. Correct. :-)

And the third one I was told was BE. You say IS. Pretty darn close if you ask me.

In short, I was going for Laughter, Love, Be. As in, if you can laugh, and you can love, you can be.

Thanks again, Chy!! This news is much appreciated!!


LAUGHTER
No matter where in the world you go, no matter how many languages are spoken, and no matter how many times cultures and governments clash, the laughter of children is universally uplifting. The mirth of adults can be variously jealous, insecure, sadistic, cruel, and absurd, but the sound of playing children evokes the ideal of a simple and pure act. There are no concepts, no ideologies -- only the innocent pleasure of life...

HEART
Imagine your heart opening into a red lotus.
From its centre comes a crimson child.
Bring this child out of your body and imagine her floating above your head. You, as a child, are holding a sun in each hand while each foot stands on a moon. It is hard to bring this child out. When you try, you realize how many defences you have built around yourself. You also realize how the experiences of adolescence and adulthood have stained you. Sometimes you may even doubt that you have a pure and innocent self to bring out anymore. But each of us does. Each of us must find that crimson child inside of us and bring her out. For this child represents the time when our energies were whole and our hearts were untroubled by the duplicity of the world and ourselves.

BE
The ultimate Tao is called absolute. We cannot know it directly because it has no definitions, references, or names. Our normal minds are incapable of perceiving where there is no contrast. Yet it is precicely this colorless infinity that is the underlying reality to this life. The only way to fathom it is to remove our sense of division from it. It essence, we must plunge into the mystery of life itself. Only then will we know peace.

Well, Karen. I'm glad those are what you wanted.
It is definitely four blocks of words though.(You are aware of the fact that each block is an individual word since ther's no letters/alphabets.)The #2 is Child and only #3 as I said is heart.
But a "Child-like heart" seems to be your desire anyways!

The only thing still with me about my lessons in Taoism is: Do nothing. I suppose "and just be" is between the lines. "Rather than controlling desires, just empty all your desires." Wait, that one might be from the Buddhism.
Even though I did not study too much of the Buddhism or Taoism, since it is in the roots of my culture, I do get what you're talking about. Most of the Chinese buddhists are Taoists also anyways.

BTW, the last character is "BE" since our BE does not change according to tense, sex or numbers. My fault, I am drowning in the "It is what it is." by the BB HGs! :-)

Mocha, I second the Kat Von D idea. My daughter wants me to get on her list for my first tat. She is really good. But I fear she has a loooong wait list.
Sorry if this is a repeat but what design/etc. you gonna get?

Kat Von D...just starting out...is $100

That doesn't include the actual tattoo...which raises the price or even if there is color
