Tattoo talk

Well, this weekend I finally got to get some ink :) It has been 3ish years since the last time I got a tattoo!!!!!!!! I have soooo many that I want to get and having that long of time go by with out any was just saddening. I was pregnant tho so there really wasn't anything I could do about it. Regardless, I finally got my gem/Jewell tattoo. Here is a pic:

I love it!!! I had drawn up a different gem, but my mind has been so flustered with trying to figure out what exactly I wanted! I have so many tatts that I know I want, but out of all of them I knew my "Jewell" tatt would be the most meaningful to me. It obviously represents family, but even more so its a permanent reminder to always stay true to myself. Which really hits home for me lately because I just really am struggling with keeping "myself" in mind when it comes to decisions that I have to make/am in the process of making. I originally planned to get it where I ended up getting it, my forearm..but I really was thinking that I wanted my gem to be in my chest piece. I have been throwing around ideas in my head for years now for my chest piece. Its the prime realty. Wabam, right there for everyone to see. So no doubt that I want it to be my most meaningful piece of work. So I believe that the gem I originally was going to get will be included in my chest piece as well as something representing my kiddos. My brother and I threw around a couple of ideas so he is going to work on drawing something up. He will be doing my whole right arm. I don't really know what ALL I want, but I do know that I will be getting a tattoo for Axton and at tattoo for Zaidyn. I know with Zaidyn I want to get some traditional flowers on the top of my forearm and I am not exactly sure yet for Axton. My brother also touched up the arm tattoo that he did with flowers and vines, adding some shading as well as green in the leaves. I am so apprehensive for color. I just don't think I really am a fan of colored tattoos so I just constantly go back and forth and back and forth thinking about if I should add color to the flowers or not. Some other tattoos that I am getting someday is a pin up girl on my leg, old school style, but with her holding a boom box. My friend, Web, from college drew me up a pin up girl holding a boom box, and I just love it. Always have wanted a pin up girl, and holding a boom box is just such a perfect way to show my love for music. Although I also want to get a different tattoo symbolizing my love for music. Anyways, I have much more I could say about what tattoos I am getting someday but I have to go to work. I work today tomorrow then 3 days off!!! What will I do with all my time off??? Oh yeah, clean and put up Christmas decorations and of course the Christmas tree!!!
