I got my first tatto when I was 24.  It's the only one I don't have a picture of, and it's very boring...just some flowers on my left ankle.

I waited until I was 30 to get the next one.  I had decided on this design years ago, it was simply a question of finding the right artist.  I got lucky and stumbled across Matt Thrash...I told him what I wanted, he hand drew it, and away we went:

It's an ouroboros, an ancient infinity symbol.  It represents (to me) the cyclic nature of life and death.

After I got the ouroboros, I decided that every tatto I had done would be an outward representation of inner feelings and beliefs.  3 years later, I got this one:

It's a trinity knot, again representative of the cyclic, neverending nature of life.

Then, on my birthday last year, I got this one:

I wanted something with a little color in it, and also wanted to incorporate my appreciation of nature...so thought that a modified sunburst would be an appropriate way to do both.

My latest one was in March this year:

Again, another infinity symbol.  D'ya see a common theme here?! LOL

I'm getting some more done next year.  I want hebrew symbols for 'courage' and 'wisdom' on the tops of my feet....but I have yet to find anyone who 1) speaks and writes Hebrew and 2) is trustworthy enough to be honest about what they're giving me....I'm afraid I'm going to end up with 'idiot' or 'loser' tattooed on me for the rest of my life!
