New Tattoo!

[fullygoldy]

I totally forgot to provide pictorial evidence here (I posted on FB but it's not the same).

This is my "Woman in the Maze" tat, based on a traditional Hopi symbol, and surrounded by sprigs of rosemary and basil.  The maze symbol is all deep green, and the basil and rosemary are various shades of green highlighted with yellow.  The woman has her arms raised to symbolize achieving a goal.  The basil and rosemary symbolize love and abundance.  The secondary meaning for this is to remind me to show my appreciation for all that I have been blessed with by being more careful with my gifts.

     

It's been just over two weeks and it has healed nicely.  I like the location, but wow, I was more sensitive there near the shoulder than I expected to be.  It wasn't terribly painful, but there were a few moments of gritting my teeth.  I was very pleased to see my art made the brag wall (just like were_duck 's!)

Okay, I'm off to assemble a spinach salad to go with DH's roast pork shoulder.  Go, Badgers!

That's stunning!

You are brave to get a tatoo (I scream a little for a blood draw).
