Dear R&S, do you have any tattoos? Do they hold any spiritual or personal significance?

Answer
I have a red/blue/green butterfly in flight on my right shoulder blade which I got when I was 16. My dad jokingly promised me a tattoo (on my a-s-s!) for my 16th birthday when I was 14 and I never forgot that. My parents were kinda against it. But I made them mad till I got it. And my mother wanted to come and see the design cuz she thought I would get something obscene or silly. But eventually it was the butterfly which signified freedom, after my 10th grade..

On my 18th birthday, I wanted another one and I got a blue bass guitar on my left hip with the words 'music is my life'. And the day I went to check for it that is my birthday, the guy I wanted to tattoo me was not there, and on the spot my mum who wasn't really a tattoo person decided to get a lady bird on her ring finger because she is allergic to metals and cant wear any jewelry.

Then when my sister turned 16 it was her turn, she got 3 shaded stars on the wrist and a custom design which if you looked at closely, you would see all the initials of every member of our family (this design was copied by another girl who saw it on facebook and she actually had the nerve to put it up! Our family initials!) Simultaneously my mother got another one on her hand/wrist, a rosary.

All this time we would trouble my dad to get a tattoo too. But he was never interested. Suddenly one day he put up pictures of himself with two tattoos on his calves on facebook and tagged us in them. He got it in Mexico (He works on a cruise line where as my family is from India). He a cross with a creeper and a flower wound around it, descending from heaven with the sun rays and clouds and also a few doves complete with family initials again that signifies heaven. And the other one is like the grim reaper with a machete that signifies hell..

And this is my dads quote..

Its funny how life is First you impress some one you want to spend your whole life with..(Len)
and then comes a time when you want to impress your Kids just to hear them say "My Dad is Cool"
So 5 hours of pain and encouragement from 6 beers through the saga....These Tattoos are for Roxanne and Sheehan.
Done in Cozumel Mexico after sleeping at 5 am and waking up at 9 only to do this as it was my only chance since
on the future ports no chance for this.....
And for all of you who think I am crazy....You should meet Roxanne & Sheehan.and you will see it was worth it...
If they could persuade Helen to do it.I could do it....Just to tell you how much I love you I tried to make it
bigger than life so you decide did I do good and Am I cool or What????
Tatoo is dedicated to all the family at home the initials hope you can see them......
Tatoo is still in the healing process so will look better sooon...


Now we are thinking of getting a tattoo all together as my dad is back home for a while..
Sorry for typing so much! But you really seemed interested!

butterfly tattoos - meaning????

terry34por

I've seen countless women that have these butterfly tattoos on the small of their back usually or around the neck and shoulder area.

Is there any meaning to that or is it just something to look pretty?

Answer
Butterflies are extremely feminine!! And FREE!

I got my first tat a month ago and the artist was trying to talk me into a butterfly. I personally said no bc there are other meanings for it. ;}

I think for most girls it represents "girlie"! They are sooo cute too!
