Got a black panther in a kind of a stalking-from-bushes/ready-to-attack position on the front of my right thigh. He's my protector and guide

Been wanting to get another tattoo for a while, but still kinda waiting for the right time, I guess.

My panther is pretty big, and it took about 4-5 hours to do. It was an awesome experience. I love the process of getting a tattoo.

So do tell, what do your tattoos mean to you?

oh that is really awesome...... Yeah... the process of getting a tattoo is always amazing.... i dont know... theres something much deeper about it then just getting a pretty image on you....

my snowflake represents my father in a way because i was born on december 24th and he used to call me "princess snowflake" when i was younger. You will also never find the same snowflake twice, so i'm unique like a snowflake hahaha as we all are really...

The peacock feather represents immortality... if it were the whole peacock it would mean vanity haha but a peacock feather represents immortality....I dont really have a religion... so i dont think theres an afterlife... although i wish there was... so it represents how i hope to live on immortally though my artwork.

As for the lily with its stem wrapped around a bullet... i got it done as a sort of memoriam or tribute to the shooting at my college 2 years ago. Flowers represent growth to me, and the event truly did make me grow and develope more as an individual.

As for adding the 2 other flowers and a lady bug... the 3 flowers in total represent each person in my family.... and the lady bug with its wings open is a symbol of the friendship i have with my mother... We both got the exact same lady bug tattooed on ourselves today.

So thats that. Sorry for the very uhh.... un-brief descriptions! n_n

I read that as 'a flying cat' for some reason and envisioned a little red biplane with a cat wearing aviator helmet, goggles, and a scarf piloting it. I now know what will emblazon my buttocks.

-You have cancer.
-That's not very funny Doctor House.
-It's growing on your humerus - I'd say that makes it down-right hilarious.
92% of the teenage population are in a group that doesn't include the other 8%. If you aren't, good for you.

good enough reason for me.... we humans tend to always put words to something to describe it... but when you want something like that for a long time... even if it doesnt have an explainable reason, i still think it just has a sort of deep connection with somone. Not everything needs to be explained
