Very pretty! I don't have any ink. Not sure if I ever will or not...I have had a couple ideas but never pulled the trigger.

I love your tattoo, though! It's so pretty. Stargazer Lilies are my favorite flower.

My first. A hot pink star on my lower back. My BFF has the same one on her foot.
My second. This is Hebrew for "Yahweh" on the inside of my left wrist. "Yahweh" is what God calls Himself in the Old Testament when talking to Moses out of the burning bush. It's my reminder of Who I belong to.
My third. This is Greek for "Beloved". Another reminder that I'm the beloved of God. As you can see, it's right above my first one.
My fourth. It's the Cross of Canterbury. I wanted a cross and this was the one I found that I liked the most. Don't mind my nasty toe. Someone stepped on/smashed my toe not too long before I took this pic.
I'd love to get more, but DH isn't the biggest fan of tattoos. He said he was, at first, a little turned off when he heard I had them, but once he learned WHY I had them and that there was actual meaning behind them, he actually really likes them now......but still doesn't want me to get any more.
Oh...and I do know that the Hebrew and Greek are correct. I double checked the Hebrew with a professor from when I was in college. And I took Greek when I was in college. "Beloved" is even in feminine form.

I have no idea how to put the words with each pic on mobile so I'll just try to so everything respectively.
The one on my left foot is Aries and Scorpio combined for my little sister and I.
The first tat I got was on my lower back and says Est 1989. I like that one least, and would like to eventually get it covered up or added to it. There is a lot of scar tissue from the guy who did it.
The duck is on my right ankle. I would love to add more to him, maybe make a scene that wraps around my ankle?
The Buddha is in memory of my dad. He coached kids bowling and they called him Buddha belly and rubbed his belly for luck. Also, my dad took my mom to beni Hana for her birthday, and they drank from Buddha cups I have. That was the weekend I was conceived.
The last pic is somewhat inspiration for my next tattoo, but not sure where exactly I will place it.
DH has no tattoos but loves them on me. :-)

Here's mine. It is a triquetra woven with linnea flowers (also known as the twinflower). It's on the right side of my back around hip level (waistbands tend to partially cover it).

Second is on my right lower back. It's a phrase from the Bible, which literally means "to be happy with your lot." Basically, G-d gives me exactly what I need.

In March one of our best friends is doing my next one. It's going in the center of my upper back. It's an anchor with the words "one life one chance" above it and XXX below it. The anchor has a keystone in it, because I'm proud of being from PA. The X's are because I'm straight edge - I don't drink, it's mainly a thing in the music I listen to. The quote is from my favorite band and reminds me to live the life I want now.
I love Jhonen Vasquez! I have all the Johnny the Homicidal Maniac books!
