people get tattoos for many reasons.. mainly as a reminder. some use the tattoos to inspire them like how one got a jap samurai to remind him to continue fighting.. or a koi for luck.. some just because they like a particular art, want to see it all the time and express themselves. then there are those who have tattoos to get over events.. to move on.
one was when a father decided to get a tattoo of a baby in a pair of hands with the words "in God's hands". his daughter had passed away 2 years ago after her birth. during that time when the infant was in the ER, the parents just prayed for God to watch over the baby. the baby passed away. the father just never spoke abt it to the family.
after he got the tattoo, he felt as though something was lifted off his chest. and he was suddenly ready to tell anyone abt his child.
he's not the only one. people get tattoos to remember the loss of loved ones and use it as an outlet to ease that frustration or pent-up emotions in themselves. it's really very moving when you watch it. makes you wanna go out and get a tattoo..
i know what i want if i ever get a tattoo.
a cherry blossom!! there's just so many meanings behind the tiny white flower with pale pink at the stem.
In China, it's a symbol of feminine beauty and sexuality. In Japan, cherry blossoms symbolize the transience of life because of their short blooming times. Cherry blossoms are an enduring metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life, and as such are frequently depicted in art.
fancy schmancy stuff huh? i just think it's pretty and different from all the small items that ppl have been getting tattoos of.. stars.. hearts.. snowflakes..
i can imagine all the disapproving glances now.. ahahahaha.
