Why do you, or don't you, have tattoos?

I always wonder this about people. Here’s why I have mine:

The first one is a tribal tramp stamp (hey, I was young), but the design is actually music notes intertwined. I play piano and love music.

My second one is all four of the Zeppelin symbols on my spine because obviously, I love Zeppelin.

My third one was a memorial for my dad when he died. It’s his ‘63 Gibson Hummingbird, old school style, with a banner around it with his dates and Daddy.

Next were my hummingbirds starting my backpiece. One on each shoulder with roses and stars blending in with the Zeppelin symbols. (Not quite done)

Last is an angelic friendship symbol on my foot. My best friend got the same one in the same place. The added bonus is that the symbol looks like a cursive L (for my name) and a swirly S (for her name) intertwined.

I love that my tattoos tell a story and evoke memories.

What about you?
