CeeCee, I love this idea...and I'm sure it has nothing to do with my own phoenix tattoo...LOL! In my mid-20's, I went through a period of about 3 years of truly awful luck, depression, many challenges, etc., (and hey, got really fat too, imagine that!) and then I finally put my foot down and said, "no more badness!" and decided that the phoenix was my new inspiration. Rising from the ashes, indeed! I agree with all the people who said tattoos are addictive -- I now have 8!! I want one to symbolize my WLS journey, too. Just need to decide what that is.
While I'm taking this TTForum break from work, I couldn't resist snapping a few cell phone photos of some of my ink. I even went the distance of hiding in my work bathroom stall and stripping a bit to get the ones on my shoulders. Naughty! So, here are my phoenix (2003), cougar/mountain scene (1997?) (hard to photograph), fairy and celtic knot (my brother and father have more masculine versions of the knot) 2001(?), and my first tattoo of dolphins/sun (1994).
