On My Fifth Tattoo and Counting

[GrayCatLove]

I belong to another tattoo forum, and I heard nice things about here, so I decided to join. I'm delighted to be here. I have Asian-inspired, neo-classical, and even the dreaded text tattoo. (Don't give me too much guff. It's in an imaginary language and relatively artful. It's not Three Doors Down song lyrics. Don't shoot me.) I look forward to being a member of this community.

I get my next tattoo on Friday. :) My tattoos are inspired by my love of flora, fauna, and literature. I'm a real dork. Be gentle with me.

Edit: I swear I'm literate. I swears it!

Thank you, dead. I have a little crappy cherry blossom on my thigh that has solid lines, but needs reworking. No sense putting it up until it's jazzed up.

CL, I figured. I'm a big fan of Tengwar and Sindarian. I also love the Runic inspired Dwarvish and the High Speech.

Thank you for the polite welcome.

Welcome :) your tattoos look nice!

I like them too.. even your scar has merit. Like tattoos, scars tell a story too.

I posted the scar since it shows a before and after with the tattoo. I had ovarian cancer and a ten lb. tumor. I was a size 2/4 at the time, and I had no clue. Let me tell you, I believe in that, "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant" stuff. I looked normal, just had awful symptoms. Four years clean.

Nice cover!

I just wanted to say how I deeply appreciate everyone warmly welcoming me. Sometimes in fringe communities people are made to feel like outsiders, and that certainly hasn't been the case here and another tattoo forum. I really appreciate it.
