New tattoo for my 18th birthday!

[AureateDawn]

The sucker cost $125!!! O___o;

But my aunt paid for it! lol

Anyways, so... here are pics of the tattoo I got! ; It's basically wheat grains... with a cross. It symbolizes Christ's commandment to care for the poor and needy, the bread which becomes the Body of Christ, and that all life (the wheat) comes from God (the cross).

I really love it. The artist, Marilan, did a fantastic job I think. I am very happy!!



The outline was a cool purple/green glittery thing haha

Looked like I was screaming bloody murder.... but I totally wasn't lol. She was moving to the underside of my wrist and it hurt.

The finished outline...

And the rest are pics of the finished tattoo a few hours after I got home and removed the bandages!

Tattoos are something I don't usually like .

That is restrained and very nice.

Nice.

You may want to think about checking in with your priest before getting another. Tattooing can get addictive.

Very spiritual, and brave of you. I think it is a very beautiful and artistic design, well chosen.

nice work.

Just don't get anything on your face

125 is steep. My 18th birthday eyebrow piercing was waaay cheaper.

Nice.

I generally don't like tatoos but I like yours, Justin.

 

[Macarius]

I love it!

 

[AureateDawn]

Thanks, y'all!

The comments make me really happy. I am generally anti-tattoo as well. I wanted something that I will still want when I am 75 (God willing! ) and that has lasting meaning behind it. I am very pleased with it, and it means a lot to me, and I am glad that you all like it, too!

And, don't forget, something that you can cover up with a dress shirt when it's job interview time!

Your tattoo looks nice.
Good pic of your face while getting it.

Nice.

Yes they can be addictive. No comment on how I know that.

Nice man. Be careful though, 1 can sometimes turn into 2 which then can turn into 20. I'm not very fond of tattoo's but this is nice. Have a great birthday! I still have 6 more month's till I hit the big 18.

Lord have mercy...

although I am not a personal fan of tattooing, it's subtle, small, and has Christian meaning, so very nice. thumbs up.

 

[seashale76]

I like it.

With or without the filioque?
