I Have Tattoos

My Guardian Tattoo

By: Sylphy

Written on December 29th, 2009

I was sixteen when I realized I wanted a tattoo. I was living with my grandparents and grandma would say - "You are not getting a tattoo if you're living in my roof". Well, gotta be patient, I said.

Then I got married and moved out of my grandparents. Heck, hubby said - "Why do you need to get a tattoo? It looks dirty". But ever since Miami Ink started showing on TLC, he is always watching the show. D-uh?

Finally, an idea dawned on me. I went up to my hubby and asked if I could ask something for Christmas. I'm the type who doesn't ask for anyhting on Christmas or birthdays or anniversaries. I would always say - "Surprise me". So hubby was of course curious. And I said - "I want a tattoo for Christmas".

Am I smart or what? :) Just took me gaziliion years to come up with that idea though...geez.

So hubby couldn't say no. I mean, it's what I want for Christmas, right? And so he just answered - "Then I'm getting a tattoo for Christmas as well".

Last December 10, 2009, I got inked! It's the tattoo I've always wanted since I was 16...a fairy...my guardian...sitting on a leaf among the vines. She's on my left side and would forever guard my back.

It ain't finished though. The vines still have to crawl but the main design, my fairy, is done.

And I'm very, very relieved we're finally together. :)

Ahhh... the next one... I'm still figuring that one out. I know I thought of something... it's something to do with my violin............... but during the course of the past days... my mind is now negotiating what design to have..... too many designs to choose from..... *Sylph shakes head*..... aaahhh...

But I will keep you posted... pinky promise! ;)

sounds really lovely sylph. my daughter (who is 15 now) is crazy about tattoos. I think she is sensible enough not to go too mad with it ... but I do expect she will get one as soon as she is 18.

This is why you never promise to get someone 'anything they want' for Christmas...

Deltagirl...I'm more worried about when he's not tattooing you versus when and if he does give you a tattoo! Promise to show and tell your design, okay?

LOL Thanks for the babble, SM...but anytime you want to share, you're always welcome to join in. And yes, I am scheduled to see my tattoo artist tomorrow to schedule when we add my vines...most likely in two weeks time, I'll be going "aaahhhh" again as I get inked. ;)

DV...you're bad...I like it! ;)

great story and very touching :) tattoos are very addictive are you getting anymore? i have 3 a monkey doing a handstand on the word mom with a banana under it on my leg, a pink rose in memory of my great grandma and my great uncle with their last name above it and their initials on either side if the stem on my back, and 3 shooting stars on my foot. i got the monkey and the rose done in the same year within like 6 months of each other its so addicting. And i already know exactly what i want my next 2 to be i want a human heart with wings on the back of my neck with the words "You are the music of my life" under it and 3 small pink butterflies behind my ear :) sorry i kind of babbled there lol

Hmmm...calling you, ay? Hmmm... ;)

Hey, if he gives you a free tattoo...why not, Deltagirl? Just think about what design you will like for the rest of your life...something that means to you that much. :)

Well, that's the child in him for having strange and weird thoughts. I guess he's safe. :)

Plus you can always use your super powers to control his oddity. LOL ;)

Thank you, Deltagirl...brave??? Bold probably...the fear of the needle challenged me and made me really anxious and excited. Crazy feeling. ;)

That was a funny man to chase you just to get tattoos. LOL ;)
