Body Modification...


pierced nose



This is my indian fetish. It's a peace symbol with red beads on it, the eagle feathers hanging from it. This is my most powerful tattoo. To me, it signifies two things, my relationship with Mother Earth and also my Shamanism. Both which are very important to me.






This is my Gothic sun. It looks a little out of shape, but that's from the angle the picture was shot at. It was my very first tattoo I ever recieved. I drove 5 hours from Tulsa, Oklahoma to Bentonville, AR to get it. It's all rainbow colored and signifies my wonderful son. =)






This is my baby dragon. I drew this up one day and just thought he was so cute, I had to put him on my arm. No deep meaning to this little guy. I just love dragons.





This is my Gargoyle. I drew him myself (that's why his head is a little crooked). I have always loved gargoyles and what they represented. Back in the day, churches used them to guard them from unwanted bad spirits. I kind of see this guy as that for me. He is also surrounded by a celtic band as seen below.





This is my celtic band I designed myself. This was hard to do. I have no idea why. It's an incredably simple celtic design. But I finished it and am very proud of it. I am playing with ideas of maybe coloring it with rainbow colors or shading it. Right now I think I will leave it just as it is, cause I think it looks great as it is.








This is my tribal piece. Again, I designed it myself and it's colored blue, my favorite color. It's located on my left calf, right in the middle. This was one of the most painful. Seems there are some real touchy nerves right there and my leg twitched and burned the whole time. Then afterwards, some of the color bled out and turned all my socks on my left foot blue. Hehe






This is my most recent one. I had this done on my trip to Canada in April. It is extremely special to me. It signifies my love of Canada, a place I someday hope to live. Notice that it's located over my heart, as my heart will always be in Toronto.

Yes, body modification. I love it. I think it can be very sensual and artistic. My tattoos mean a great deal to me. They are part of the process of what will eventually be short sleeves. My left arm is my "Native American/Shaman" arm where my right is my "Gothic/Fantasy" arm. All the art on me is my own work. I take great pride in telling people I don't use flash to get my ideas, I make my own ideas from what I love. I have several pieces I am working on now that hopefully will get put on soon. A couple ideas I have in the works include a fairy and maybe a bigger adult dragon. I have been toying with the idea of a backpiece that is wings from my shoulder blades down to mid-back. We'll see. I want to finish my arms first.

Piercing is also something I love the look of. I had my nose pierced in 1993 on a trip to Idaho. Yes, it hurt and that is the main reason I have been too scared to get anymore piercings done. But, next it going to be my tongue. I have also wanted that for a long time. I think they look great when people go back for the shorter bars. I hate people that have these huge rods from when they first got it done. HELLO! These are bars to incorperate the swelling, not for permanent use. Heh. Anyways, this will probably be the last piercing I get. Not that I wouldn't want a few more, but I think job and such would get in the way of that.

Ah well. =)
