These are great. I've contemplated doing the same thing myself with my scar but it is on my chest. It's just in an odd spot for a tattoo.

I just have a small one very low on my back. It is the word 'Hope' in black cursive. Very simple, but makes a lot of sense to me.

I was told I could not have anymore tattooss becasue the ink goes threw the lymph system and can clog or build up in the lymph nodes. If I wasn't in Lymphadema therapy I just might have gone against the advice, but since I am dealing with Lymphadema, why ask for more trouble. Just alittle FYI because I didn't know all that until things got this far. Even the guy at the Tattoo shop agreed (shit). So I got my nose pierced!

In high school, after my parents divorced and I'd gone through a rough time, I got 2 tattoos on the small of my back - the Japanese character for "strength" and the quote by Nietzche, "That which does not kill makes one strong." After a period of personal transformation and healing after a trauma, I also got my Hebrew name tattooed on one of my ankles and the Tibetan prayer of the lotus wrapped around the other one.

I want to get a lotus flower, or the quote "There but for the grace of God go I", but not sure where.....

My cousin's widow and I had a memorial tattoo in honor of my cousin that passed away the year prior from endrocine cancer, not knowing 361 days later I would be diagnosed myself with what is known as the "butterfly" cancer...these things just don't happen...(mine is the larger of the two and has his initials (BMO) in the wing)
Love

I have a few tatts too. I have a chinese dragon on my cankle and a skateboard on the inside of my other foot. I want a few more tatts myself. I am wondering if there are any adverse effects of the ink with the body. WHy detox myself and put more crap in witthe ink, ya know? Anyone know anyhting about this?

I believe tattoos are a symbol of a journey in your life. When my daughter was born, I got her name with my favorite flowers next to it. Now, I'm in the process os getting my second tattoo, a ovarion cancer ribbon with angel wings. As a reminder of what my sister is going through. I like to think that I can protect her. That way every time I look at it, it will make me feel like eveything is going to be okie dokie because she has me, her cancer angel.

I have a Dead Bear on my "lower region" - early 20's were rather bizarre - not so nice now that I've had kids and it's gotten all stretched out...
Peace and rock on ~
