Well tomorrow is a HUGE day for me. I'm getting my tattoo cherry popped! I mean c'mon Ive had to date probably a total of 20 piercings (tho most of them are out/retired right now) so it's ABOUT TIME!!!
We went to a Beltaine ritual by the local druid grove a few weeks ago, and they happened to be doing a fundraiser and auctioned off a $60 gift certificate for a new tattoo parlor run by the proprieter of a local pagan shop. I got it for only a few bucks, using my bday money that i was saving for something special. I stopped in last weekend at the shop and talked to Kali, the artist, and we set it up for tomorrow at noon. I want a Celtic tree of life, the design she came up with for me is below:
its a pencil drawing, so black & white, but the actual tattoo will most likely be in color, with the branches/wood shaded brown and the leaves green. Im SO EXCITED!!!! I've been wanting to do this for YEARS!!!
This design was created by the lovely Kali of
Bloodeagle Tattoos in Oakland... if you're in the area and interested in custom work please check her out!!! She also does ritual tattooing which I thought was really interesting.
