Good suggestion! I’ll keep it in mind.

It’s very busy, and I’m not sure cherubs would thrill R.W. Emerson for presenting his quote. It’s a very stand-alone quote that doesn’t need to be presented in a cluttered way; what’s in our soul, simple, pure, and clean is so much more deep and beautiful than a complex surrounding world.

I have a longer quote on me, and I love it. I think the…[Read more]

I think matching tattoos are one of the sweetest ways to express love. 🙂 I love your tattoo! (I feel like Paula Abdul sometimes on here; I love EVERYTHING!)

Welcome. 🙂

Wait eight weeks. Don’t you want to guard your investment?

2006 Chevy Cobalt, two door, standard. Gets good gas mileage.

That’s a woman’s back. It’s a back-fastening bra. And the stretchmarks indicate we are indeed in tramp stamp county. 😉

Thanks so much that is a great ideas. @graycatlove Thought maybe 4 of them sitting throughout a cherry blossom tree. Maybe??

I like that idea a lot. 🙂

Perhaps four little birds living happily – Maybe one or two in a nest, another gazing at the sky, another scratching around at the ground. Little Bluebirds of Happiness, or sparrows, another lovely and deeply meaningful birdy.

What about a pin-up girl picking up “candies” from a heart-shaped box, which are actually little anatomically correct hearts within the cutesy candy box?

You know, in my younger days, when I had a navel piercing in, I snagged it on everything. After tearing it off on a rock, I finally decided it was not for me. I cannot imagine how much I would snag my face.

I love your user handle! And welcome!

I feel like that’s a big tattoo that requires careful execution. You’ll want to consult an artist and have them draw something up and carefully review it. It’s a very bold image, and I’m not sure it needs text. I’m not big on triskelions for the racism associations, but I don’t know that most people would…[Read more]

What did I just say about bamboo never being aseptic? (Don’t scroll up and cheat!)

Well thanks. 🙂

I may. My current business is much more intensive. I actually go and live at people’s houses for the week or two that they are away. I won’t be able to do that much when I move, but I’ll probably still do some small stuff like letting dogs out and doing cats. Thanks for the idea!

Also an important…[Read more]

I’m not sure about that – I simply don’t know enough about what sort of ink is available internationally. Surely someone does, though. This is another reason I’d go with a smaller piece that can be finished at one place.

And if I worked in India, especially in the summer, I’d wear short sleeves and omit any other clothes I could! 😉

Not sure if it’s normal, but it’s good! 🙂

Piercings heal from the outside in, so even though it may look and feel good after four weeks, I’d wait another four before I put a ring in. You want this to last and feel good!

I should know this about wounds and skin since i also have experience as an EMT, but once my tat started freaking out on me all my medical knowledge went out the window lol

Yep, just treat it like any old large but shallow wound. 🙂

I like the “natural” coloring of this. Very cool!

I think what matters is YOU like it – My first tattoo wasn’t terribly original. A coed getting a cherry blossom is like a biker getting a naked lady. I like it, though, and it’s my own.

Like you, I’m a professional who really can’t have visible tattoos. (I LOVE the Red Sox, too!) I’m not sure a 1/4 sleeve that forever limits your clothing…[Read more]

The grammatically proper way, like a title, would be “King to Be.”

You don’t capitalize modifiers like “the.”

“King to be” is a sentence fragment. It looks a little sloppy, in my opinion, but I was raised to value use of good English. I assume you mean it to be like a title, as in, “I am going to be the king, ergo I am the King to Be.”

You sound way more mature than I was at 17, or am now!

Are you going to continue your pet-sitting business in college? Advertise that stuff at local hospitals/home health facilities – Doctors and nurses who work 12-24 hour shifts, sometimes spur of the moment, will gladly shell out $20+ in an emergency to have someone feed the cat/clean the litter box.
