I have quite a few tattoos....my favorite one is the humming bird and flower on my foot.

I got the humming bird for my Grandpa after he passed away. During the spring and summer, he would make me homemade ice cream and we would sit on his back porch and eat it and watch the humming birds fly around the house. He loved humming birds....he had feeders up everywhere. :)

One of my most favorite childhood memories.

The flower is for my Grandma. I decided that I wasn't going to wait until she passed away to get it.

She is really not into tattoos....but it made her smile when I showed her the flower I got for her. :) That is the only tattoo of mine I think she approves of. lol

I have 2 stars on my right wrist for my kiddos.

My yellow rose of Texas on my left wrist.

My sister's dolphin on my lower back.

And me, my mom, and my sister all got butterfly tattoos together. :) That one is in the middle of my back....up by my neck. :)

I'm getting a few more....and I can't freaking wait. I'm getting a 4 leaf clover (I think) for my Daddy....cause I'm lucky to have him.

And my husband plays the guitar. His favorite song is Stevie Ray Vaughn's version of "Little Wing" so I'm going to get the sheet music to that and have it tattooed....somewhere. ;)

I have only one, which I got just a few months ago on the outside of my right calf. It is a phoenix rising, whose inner wings are made out of lotus petals. Both are powerful symbols for me and it makes me smile every time I look at it.

My daughter is planning one for her 18th birthday in January and has suggested a Mom/Daughter ink session... not sure if I'm ready for a second, though!

I eventually want a fairie on my pelvis once I am thin enough. I would also like one along my spine that revolves around a favorite saying from my favorite book series.

Currently I have "Queen" in sanskrit on the back of my neck and an ace of spade with a 7 in it on my ankle.

When I've lost 50-75 pounds (probably 75 cause that'll be my halfway point), my gift to myself is going to be the tattoo I am getting around my wrist. I'll be getting the eye of a peacock feather on the inside of my wrist with the rest of the feather wrapping around like a bracelet.

I have 2 hummingbirds with a lotus flower in between them that I am very proud of. It represents my daughter. :D

I also have this skull tattoo above my knee. My Mom absolutely hates it but every time I see it, it makes me happy. It reminds me things get better. (i know, skulls = positive feelings? its my thing)

When I lose the weight I want a half sleeve with a moon and a mermaid. But my arm needs to be a bit more toned.

I have this tattoo on my back...

It's supposed to be two phoenix's (I never liked the idea of the phoenix being a solo-creature) with wings above and tails intertwined below, but it looks more like two love-birds in a nest...not quite me~ When I reach my 4th mini-goal, I'm going to see about getting the bottom altered with full tails added that trail down my spine...it may not be possible though without making it look like a major cover-up job though, so we'll see -

And AlidaD, I'd love to see a photo of your phoenix with lotus petals....
