I played with your heart
Got lost in the game
Oh baby baby
Oops!...You think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above
I 'm not that innocent
*cough* 'scuse me for the Britney moment.
I have a new baby. Not even an hour old. What a bloody mess he is.
He keeps looking at me too.
How annoying.
I figured, if I'm gonna get more ink, I should at least have a theme, so I went with Egyptian again.
That's the "Eye of Horus".
Different myths tell different stories. Sometimes Horus was nice guy, other times... well, not so nice.
He's the God of Undertakers. It all depends what you read. Horus is the god of the sky, and the son of Osiris, the creator. Horus was the sky, he was considered to contain the sun and moon.
He'll take you to heaven but he can take you to hell as well.
Yes, I did my research. Yes, it has meaning to me, just like the four others. I wasn't gonna have that stuck on my body forever without knowing what it was first.
Hmmmmm.... Now what to get next? I'll have to think about that one.
A very nice dude named Anthony did it for me. I made sure he was available to do it. You can see him and some of his work here.

That is a very BIG tattoo & looks like it hurts. I can not see your tit? is it worked in somehow? OUCH!
I always liked the tattos that female breast cancer survivors get sometimes, when they get their breasts wacked off. It is such a radical statement...a real Fuck You God moment. :)
Fuck You God! I'll define my own Body.
God only represents so called powers beyond our control, BTW.
**takes out ruler**
It's 2 inches above my nipple.
Just over 2 1/2 inches wide and not quite 2 inches tall.
It hurt when I was getting it done! That wasn't exactly pleasant.... but I have this weird pleasure and pain thing to begin with.
I think that's one of the reasons people get addicted to tattoos. Not only can you end up with a beautiful pice of art, it also hurts.... but it hurts in a really good way.
There's no real way to describe it.
24 hours later, it only stings a litle.... and I don't think it's gonna bruise up. NICE!
That's why I made sure the nice young dude Anthony was available to do it. I've seen his work, he can do some really intricate stuff.
Ant did my "Geb", the guy on the throne on my left forearm. He's just starting out, so he's very careful and he doesn't make it hurt more than it needs to.
lol... I guess if someone asked him to make it hurt he would.
My last one, the gargoyle, that hurt alot and I was bruised for a week. It wasn't just because I got it on my bicep (the where has an effect on the pain).
It was the artist and the pressure he used with the needle. He also used too much brute force.
The brusing? I had actual handprints on my arm!
I'm already wondering what I should get next! lol
Ok I see it now. the "eye" is a bit distracting.
I don't think I have a pleasure pain thing. I hate physical discomfort. I have one homemade tatto I got in reform school & fortunately for me I was the last one getting done that day. I was getting something that was called a 4 dot.... You prob. are too young to know what that is & maybe kids didn't do it on the East Coast. The idea is, If you peeled off certain beer bottle labels (I'm thinking either Coors or Budweiser) they had dots printed on the backside of the paper from one dot to four dots. If you were with a boy & got a one dot. you just kissed, two dots.. got your breasts touched, three... well you went a little further & four....sexual intercourse Whoo whoo!:)
Playing that game was a lot of fun as you can imagine.
Anyway, the nun that ran our floor in the Catholic reform school I was incarcerated at, walked into the room when I only had one dot finished. Thank goodness! Some of the girls there got some really ugly homemade tattoos.
& that is the extent of my tattoo experience.
I like the concept of tattoos & I think they are cool on other people. though.
Congrats!
That's a cool tattoo.
Looking forward to the pics once it's healed up.
Very nice. I love the strong lines of it.
All: Thank you for your nice comments.
Tattoos are a very strange thing. I might end up having quite a few more. I'm thinking I might go with many more smaller ones over a period of time. I have no idea yet.
hmm.
I would have chosen the Whore of Iris myself.
GOD I'm funny today.
well, I for one am waiting with bated breath for the next one.
have you thought about decorating your penis?
handmaiden are you freaking insane!!!
Last year at an art history conference one of the professors..(American, mind you) included in her keynote speech an image of a guy who had a really intricate mandala tattooed around his anus. Sort of made me wonder on the idea of a mandala being a cosmic diagram of a symbolic universe, and what it meant to have waste constantly pour out the middle of one.
(he also had a smaller version on each buttock.)
When viewed on a screen in an auditorium I must say it had an impact on most of the academics in the audience. We all flinched.
Anyway.
Just saying.
OUCH!
I assure you there are areas I will not consider getting inked.
My buttocks maybe, but certainly not my penis or anus.
cosmic diagram of a symbolic universe... Mmmmm. It's art. I can appreciate the thought behind it. (hahaha, behind!) Not doing it though!
it was, apparently, to do with "cultural trauma", though I think this prof rather liked the sight of everybody squirming in their seats.
(Must dig out the notes I took.....hmmm.)
not suggesting for one MINUTE that any person ought try that one....
