Contemplating some new ink

[saltygoodness24]

I have been obsessing about getting a new tattoo.  I only have one tiny purple OM symbol on my lower back that I've had since I was 19 (and before people knew what it was, yoga wasn't popular then and it was very meaningful to me given my spiritual background, and still is.)  (I only say this because I feel a little lame when in a physical yoga

Ooh, I think that sounds great! I really like plumeria, too, and am still growing a plant I got in Maui a couple of years ago. But I'm still waiting for the darn thing to bloom! (I killed the second plant I had). I hope you are able to do what you want!

Oh, you and your smells! I love this idea, so perfect. I know how fond you are of the plant, do it DO IT!! And I really don't think an artist would turn down a job....there is artistic relevance in all works, not just the big pieces.

i wouldn't feel silly when an instructor comments about your om symbol. tattoos are supposed to be personal and meaningful to the owner, and since it's special to you, that's all that matters! yoga has been popular for a very long time.. my mom used to do yoga when she was pregnant with me and lord knows that was more than 10 years ago! it has been around for thousands of years and you don't have to be hindu in order to practice it. just like you don't have to be an expert in yoga to have a meaningful symbol or word in any language, no matter what your spiritual, religious, educational background, or native language. :) you should see how many people look at pete funny when they see his chinese tattoo... he's definitely not chinese! it's a great conversation starter. :)

ps - i think some new ink is a good idea! i didn't know you had your tattoo since you were 19! did you get it in northridge? i really want a tattoo from hannah on la ink. i think she is so talented.
