I've been saying it for awhile now, if i were to get a tattoo it would not be some minuscule symbol of peace, love or an image of my favorite flower. Nor would it be hidden away in shame, unseen by anyone but my lover, my physician and ultimately the mortician before i go up in flames. No if i were to get a tattoo it would be something magnificent, glorious, breathtaking. A brilliant kaleidoscope of color and elaborate design made up of swirls, twirls, curves, swoops and exotic birds in flight. I would choose a palette of blues from that of the palest sky to the deepest indigo of darkest night. It would all be accentuated with a red as dark and richly saturated as blood.
No my tattoo would be the doppelganger of my true identity. My spirit made visible, painted on the skin and fitting like a satin glove.Yes if i were to get a tattoo it would be like coming out of the closet of conventionality and walking into the light.
’this is a magical beast that holds the secret of light & shadow in a safe place in her heart and when it has been too long grey, she starts to dance & laugh & cry & sing and the sunlight fills her up and spills in wild abandon back into the world again’

And what about you? What would you have tattooed on your body that would show us your truest identity, your hearts desire of selfness?

Wow, love his tatoos. If I ever had a tatoo done, I think I would have an image of the Tree of Life.

I'd have to think and think to give you my "for sure" answer. But, I have always dreamt of a tattoo on the top of my right foot. One that looks like henna painting, but is in all black.
Or, maybe a gorgeous, rich green dragon, the color of emeralds, with sapphire eyes. She would writhe up the back of my neck and disappear just behind my ear.

I've never thought about that before -- it deserves far more thought than a quick comment!

in real life, being a bit anxious about commitment & entrapment, nothing. never, ever. my fantasy art girl, however, would like a tattoo of the state of texas - a small one - at the top of her right arm. don't tell anyone.
