this is mine...
it's a leaf and vine design, cos i love the symbolic meaning of leaves.. the mortality, fragility, "new leaf"/change/growth/renewal; plus being attached to a central vine as source of life, like it says in the bible.
i got it placed exactly where no one would ever see it unless i showed them deliberately, even if i wore a tank top or hipsters, unless i deliberately wore a backless top/dress..
cos i can't be bothered dealing with people's perceptions/judgements, so this way i avoid it and only told people who were cool with it.
also, i placed it on my back cos i knew that if i could see it everyday, i would get tired of it very quickly... this way, i only occasionally see it, so it can visually last me forever.
aaand, i wanted it placed somewhere that wouldn't sag and get droopy w age.. ie, not on my boob/hip.
the pain... it was bad, but bearable.. i basically silent-screamed my way through the 1/2hr, biting down on my hand..
it felt hot.. and like an extended cat scratch (like a cat claw hooked into my flesh and pulling slowly). but i would totally do it again..
in fact, i'd like to get one on my bum next... maybe one with a similar design theme
