| Everything in my tattoos have a significance and mean something VERY personal to me and took a long time to perfect and tweak to the final thing, |
  This one I got
in Oct
2001 It is on the inside of my left ankle. I designed it myself - by that I mean I found graphics I loved from other pictures, cropped them out, modified them a bit and merged them all together! What this tattoo means to me is " The Peace in my life is Christ in my heart " It was done by Raul who is FABULOUS! |
| This second one I designed
myself too. I had it all ready to go by early 2003. I was going to get it in August 2003  I ended up getting it in January 2005 (today actually - Jan 18th) (just a slight delay, the timing never seemed right!) It is in the middle of my back just above my tailbone and YES it was done by Raul of course, he now works HERE  Naturally it is rather red from having been just done, I'll update this page in about 2 wks with a new photo of the healed tattoo. I designed this one from scratch mostly, the heart graphic I found, flipped and duplicated to create the 4 hearts. The rose I clipped out of something, but the leaves, vine and fish I did in PowerPoint! The MRB, MKB, MGB and MJB are the initials of my 4 kids. Yes they are my 4 M&M's - 3 plain & 1 with nuts ;) (3 girls & 1 boy!!) The NEB is my husband. The 4 hearts in the middle are for my 4 children as each one of them has captured my heart forever. The Jeremiah 29:11 verse is very significant, it was give to me as a 10 yr old child when I accepted Christ as my Saviour and it's the promise I rest in for my 4 children. This is from the NIV (New International Version) bible. T For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD , "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. The Rose is for me - the English Rose !! (notice no thorns! I am NOT an English Rose amongst the thorns!) 4 Roses on each side for the 4 kids. The Stars - there are 7 of them, one for each member of the family and one for God, who makes us complete ( 7 is also a very biblical number ) The Vine is what keeps us all together. The Fish is a Christian symbol - a
foundation for all of us. For Christians, the fish is one of their
earliest symbols. It was used to profess their faith and to avoid
persecution. Christians chose the fish due to its prominence in
Jesus' teachings and because of a famous acrostic (the letters of a
word forming the initial letters of a phrase). The Greek word
fish—IXOYE—forms the acrostic "Iesous, Christos, Theou, Yios, Soter"
or "Jesus, Christ, God's, Son, Saviour." Besides serving as a brief
profession of faith, the fish also helped Christians distinguish
between friend and foe. When travelling, if a Christian met another
person, the Christian would draw half the fish (half a crescent) in
the sand. If the other person completed the fish, he or she was a
Christian. Gal. 6:17 is a reference to St. Paul's letter to the
Galatians.Paul writes, "From now on let no one cause trouble for me,
for I bear on my body the brand marks of
Jesus." |
