ritual pain

[merchimerch]

It's time to start thinking of tattoo design again, as I like to meet ritual pain with ritual pain.

I've gone with knot-work designs so far, and really like them, but I feel like I need a change. I want a lower back tat and don't want anything binding since I'll be trying to be as open and fertile as possible come this fall.

I'm thinking the 3 phases of the moon with something nifty and possibly fertility oriented on the face of the full moon - anyone got any ideas?

I think I'm going to make an appointment to give blood after my defense, since my neighbor up here is a tattoo artist and has offered to do this one for me, so it won't be happening right after like with my qualifying exams.

So yeah, input would be greatly apprecaited as my creative juices are needed elsewhere :)

Do blood first since if you do the tattoo first, the blood people will get all hissified.

yes yes I know BLOOD DONATION FIRST. I'm just coming off of a 12 month wait because we went to Tajikistan. I want my gallon pin, so that will happen right after my defense. When I return to Sac. afterward I'll be putting more ink on my body (and not worrying about another blood donation for at least 6 months).

I'm doing the same thing actually - thinking about tattoo designs for myself. And on the lower back too. But I'm not doing it until January or possibly March when I pass the CA Boards.

We should brainstorm together - but not get the same tattoo ;)

we should definitely brainstorm together - I don't think there's much danger of us wanting the same tattoo anyway ;)
