Re: Got Ink? **DU WARNING**
The flames were added when I had it redone. I just lotioned it every day and it was fine. It usually stays covered up under my sleeves so it doesn't get much exposure to the sun.
And yes, I still do have my bug, she's a 1965 and I got her back in '99. Gone thru slight changes in those years, but still pretty much looks the same as the day I got her. This is from a car show a few months ago...

Re: Got Ink? **DU WARNING**
oh god she's so cute!!!! I swear to you I know every VW in our city. There so awesome, good for you for still having her. I also see a little pink girl behind her....drools.
Re: Got Ink? **DU WARNING**
My friend here used to live in Florida and went to all the VW shows there. Btw, that "pink" bug behind mine is actually Salmon coloured, but it gets mistaken for a pink a lot. ;) Now lets see some more ink!! :D

I love the henna spider!! Indigo is different from black henna, yes? It's the indigo that slays me the most, but I have a slight blue bias. ;)
I'd love to get some henna stuff done one of these days, although I've just been inspired to get my second perminent tattoo so we'll see! I'm still in the process of designing it, but it'll probably be a wrist design (owie!) Not right on the bone though, a bit further from the hand. I love designing my own tats, although my first one could use some touching up as it is but one thing at a time!
I love this thread, so many lovely tats!
Re: Got Ink? **DU WARNING**
Here's the tat I designed for myself, I hope to get on my wrist this year. Although at the size I'm thinking it'll be hard to tell the oroboros is a blue beauty, but hey... I'll know. ;)

Re: Got Ink? **DU WARNING**
Neat Sheree! What do the symbols in the center mean?
Re: Got Ink? **DU WARNING**
Thank you! That's the sacred "Aum" or "Om", the divine in all things as a sound or vibration. :aww:
I felt inspired while studying up on Hinduism (such a gorgeous religion) and making the connection between Om and String Theory (also called "M" Theory), which is the idea that everything at it's most basic level is made up of vibrating strings which will hopefully unify the theories of Relativity and Quantum Physics. I think it's a beautiful theory, which suggests that the universe is like a great elaborate symphony. It seems Hinduism was on to this long before the scientific community was! It's spirituality and science together, which is a beautiful concept that means a lot to me. I'm very excited about getting it inked where I can always see it. :)
