Hi LA! Nope, I don't mind and yep, I'm Pagan. Or Neopagan, as I tend to refer to myself. I don't really go much for titles anyway. I kind of have an interest in a lot of religions, but I have a special affinity with Celtic beliefs and with Catholicism, since I was raised Catholic. Of course Irish Catholicism is surprisingly Pagan anyway, so that helps! Tristan - Yep, I have Celtic artwork! It's really pretty too. I got my tattoo about four years ago and I still love it to bits. Wanna see it? *flashes Tristan* More graphics available at www.desktophippie.com - yes, I've moved!

I have the kanji for "strength of heart" - some native Chinese have also ID'd it as having the meaning endurance as well. It is the traditional Li "Strength" symbol with the kanji for heart underneath it, with the kanji that ties the two words together. It's at the small of my back (sorry to whoever didn't like adornment there!) I got it after both of my parents died, and then I got very, very ill all within a 14 month period. It reminds me how strong I was then, and I can continue to be strong always. (But not if there's a spider around. Ick.)

(Sorry for the delay...got busy here) DTH, I, uh...hehe...I like being flashed. Nice tat! Hey, Whim...did you happen to save 15% or more? sorry, couldn't help it! Mavourneen, I'm sure there's an anti-spider tattoo design out there somewhere... ______________________________________

So I wanted to share more pics with all you wonderful ponderers, but my friend erased most of them. This is BabyV over a month ago. She's such a cutey.

Very adorable! She looks a little startled, though... Thank you for sharing that, NVG. ______________________________________

LA29, it is kind of funny, isn't it? It's a good story, but I am a fan of the more historic Rex Artorius than the one created by the writers. Thanks for thinking of me, though. Made me smile! ______________________________________

Merry meet LA It's nice to be thought of as cool. I'm usually the nerdy sci-fi geek! Living in Ireland, you really can't escape the whole Celtic thing. I love it though, have done since I first read Irish legends as a kid. NVG - Awwww! The baby is so cute! And the expression on her face is really, really funny. She's so adoreable! Tristan - always happy to flash you. You have only to say the word Heck, I'm sure I could convince some of the other girls to join in the flashy fun! How 'bout it LA? You game?

The two I have (Phoenix four color on right calf and flaming skull on right upper bicep) were fairly inexpensive and very good. No fade or bleed. I've been toyin' with the idea of a large chain wrap around my left calf and a bracer design for my left bicep and shoulder. I love to see flowing graphics on other folks, but can't seem to find or create a design to fit me. Check out From Dusk 'Til Dawn. The flames George Clooney has are the ones I was gonna use. They were to be an extension of a large flaming skull facing out on my shoulder, flames crossing my upper back ending on the opposite sise of my neck. Dang that Robert Rodriguez and his cool ideas. Using them before I did.

LA29, Sorry...yes, Rex Artorius is another name for King Arthur. Also try Artorius Dux Bellorum...this is a subject that I could bore you to tears with. Briefly, I have studied most of the story cycles (Chretien DeTroyes, Geoffrey of Monmouth, modern writers, etc) and several of the "he was real" authors like Geoffrey Ashe. I think along the lines of the seekers, in that he was either a war leader or an amalgam of several figures like this. Ok, sorry, all...back to the impondering... ______________________________________

Hmmmm... have you checked the internet NVG? You get some artists who are happy to design tattoos based on suggestions so they can post the designs on their websites. You might just find what you're looking for, or someone who can help at least! Best of luck finding your design. It's better to be certain and get what you really want! Mavoureen - I remember you mentioning that tattoo before in another thread. It's sounds really beautiful. And I've done that too, touch my tattoo or just look at it in a mirror when I need a reminder of the message behind it. More graphics available at www.desktophippie.com - yes, I've moved!

DTH, flashing is good...especially when I am the recipient. Though I do have a tendency to when it does happen... LA29, I have not read the book, but I did watch the series...does that still count? If you are interested in the history part of it, let me know. I don't think it has a place in here, as it would chew through the thread quickly, but if you are interested in emails, then I'm all for it! GED! Sorry I missed seeing you!

Quote: Originally posted by marina: I have two tattoos, one I got when I was 15 - it's Sanskrit (not Tibeten) for Om on my back between my shoulder blades. I like it because I can conceal it if I want to, or show it off, and it's a spiritual reminder for me. My other is on the inside of my left wrist, a small outline of a circle (smaller than a dime). Again, I can cover it with a watch or bracelet, but this one I got on the anniversary of my fiancé's death. I got it during a deep depression as a reminder of the circle of life. They are addictive, I find myself wanting another one without having anything specific in mind. I probably won't get any more, though, just because there isn't another spot on my body that I would want inked. Don't make faces. I know what you mean. I thought I'd only ever want one, but I find myself craving a second one so much... and it's such a fine line between pretty ink and looking tacky. I've thought about between my shoulder blades too, since while I have long hair, I tend to tie it back and a tattoo on the back of my neck might be exposed to more conservative types while I'm teaching. If it was small though... ogham script can look so pretty when it's done just right... *yawn* okay, it's past my bedtime!

MAGDALENA "No power in the 'verse can stop me!"

Good morning all my dear Imponderers... Ged!! I've missed you! I suppose all that long distance romancing does take up ones time doesn't it? I have a terrific friend who has just done exactly the same thing you did - he met up with a girl from his past at a interstate wedding and is now all 'giddy' about the mutual feelings they have for one another - it's so good to see! Hmmmm... Tristan - do you know where I could find the anti-spider tattoo...? NVG!! She is just so very gorgeous!! No wonder you dote on her and her brother... how is PsychoBilly? And yes, please - we are waiting for photos... James! You want MsG & I to go and 'bap' those inconsiderate, nasty, uncaring teachers and lecturers who made you hurt your pretty self! I too have had a long battle with depression, though the severe troughs are few and far between I understand! I think a tattoe would be a shiny way to celebrate the survivor/warrior in you! Thank you for sharing that too Marina (which - have I mentioned this? - means the same thing as Meredith!!) Edit: Oh there you are MsG! I love it when I overlap posts with friends on the other side of the world!! LOL at the startled by a puppet story! I have seen it happen too!

Hey all, I'm hanging in there. It seems I am single once again. I was just in CA this past weekend visiting my, now ex-girlfriend, and well... things went very well when I got there. But, towards the end it kind of went south. She was on the rebound and she had some other issues going on, and compiled with the distance, it just wasn't a formula for success. I must say that she's still very special to me... she's such an amazing girl... it was just kind of bad timing and distance that happened... a casualty of circumstance, you could say. I am sad, though. But, I'll be okay. We're still friends and keeping in touch and all that. Well, enough of my bad weekend... hope you guys are doing better than me! __________________________________________________ This above all, — to thine ownself be true. http://www.myspace.com/artv

Hi folks! 'Morning to those on the sunny side of the world, 'evening to those closer to home. Kelkhil....do you get those quarter inch diameter snowballs coming down this afternoon, too? I've never seen it snow mini-snowballs before! Tats. Don't have one. Have admired many pretty ones on others. Not totally against having one, but again, what do I want on me for the rest of my life? Nothing I can be sure of, so I'm still passing for the time being although Celtic knotwork sounds like it would be pretty. Piercings. Like PR, my body seems to hate all metals. Got my ears pierced in my early twenties. After 10 weeks it still wasn't healing, so I bought interlocking hoops and painted them with bright pink nail polish (so I could see if any chipped off) and my ears healed within a few weeks. Holes are still there (mostly) even though I haven't used them in years. I had a piercing malfunction happen to me (the piercing gun jammed...still holding the stud in my ear) and the one hole was never straight. That one closed...just in the middle of my ear. Maybe someday when I'm feeling especially masochistic I'll punch it back out. I can't see getting anywhere else pierced as I'd probably worry about getting it hung up on things and making a big owie and the idea of piercing my nipples...mammograms are gorram bad enough. Well, it's 11pm here so I'll say 'night folks! *hugs* all around. Banner courtsey of Aim2Misbehave (Thank you!!) ******** RMMC "Those grenades?" "Captain don't want 'em."

I know what you mean about getting a tattoo for life - and one other thing - can you get pimples on your tattoos - wouldn't look good on some I can think of? It is indeed a hot and sunny afternoon here my wonderful LA!! We're in the middle of one of the earliest heatwaves on record! (certainly one of the earliest I can remember...)

JQ: About the firelighting, I won't glare at you or anything. Most of us in the fire brigade light bonfires that have been doused in petrochemicals. BUT we are smart enough to do it by flicking in a lit match from a distance (either that or we're wearing our full protective gear, very useful for those tempremental gas bbq's). Magda: It's actually cooled down somewhat today, although there's still a lot of fires burning around the place. KI may well be declared a loss and evacuated until the fire's burnt itself out (or consumed all the flammables on the island) as we've done from time to time. Anyway, I've spent today in uni (today's class focused on identity as performance) and doing the housework. Now that I've done the vacuuming and dusting, and it looks like it's going to rain, I'd better go bring the washing inside. ************** (Thx to Desktop Hippie for the banner) If you find yourself getting too worked up about stuff that isn't real (RP Threads etc), then go outside, breathe in some fresh air and try feeding the ducks. (Because ducks don't care about your politics, religion, skin colour, choice of music or even your haircut. They like everyone, provided you bring them food.)

Hey my gorgeous LA! 'Tis a pity there isn't a way to share things like blankets - I just took mine off the bed last night! Didn't need their warmth - that's for sure!! Sleep well my wonderful friend! love, from Australia! (thank you dear Penguin! - I love my new emotie!! ) Sleep well all my dearlings! Your Magda x x x EDIT: ooooh - thank you Nico - I have been thinking of you - it's just clouded over here in the last 20mins so I am hoping for some rain - the garden is parched again!! Glad to hear things are not quite so hot there - gives me hope for tomorrow too... FYI Imponderers Adleaide is West of Melbourne and we usually get a version of their weather about 24 hours later more-or-less... which part of Adelaide are you in BTW Nico?

PHOENIXROSE You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

Awwww, Ged, honey, I'm sorry to hear things went south! Morning jie-jie! I don't think tats can get pimples, since they are, in essence, scarred flesh. And of course I also think tats have to be personal. To you. They can't be about anyone else. That's why I would get my totems (aside from being Pagan and Buddhist, I have pursued a little bit of Shamanism and such. My totems are very important to me.) It's all hypothetical anyway, though. http://www.bigdamnthankyou.com - show Universal your gratitude! We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think.
