My first is of a small bunch of flowers, it has two large stems reaching up and looking away, and three in a smaller bunch of three facing forwards, when i got it i was only 18, and really liked it for some reason, and now to me, the two flowers facing away are my angels, and the three flowers in a tight bunch are my dreams of having three children to raise... hasnt happened yet, but its my inspiration..
Next i got a symbol of Friendship on my left shoulder, again i was young and got it done with my "best friend" we both got the same symbol- we are now no longer friends as she liked to sleep with my boyfriends.... so um, now it symbolises to me that I know the true meaning of friendship, and i hope she cringes every time someone asks her what hers means...
The next one i got was a half moon with a face and a green eye facing out, with a swirly ring of stars around it, to me its my feedom. I got it done with my DH(then boyfriend) by a friend who had just started tattoing, and i was living in a new city with new people totally experiencing life and feeling good. It will always remind me of being young and free and happy!!!
My next one is a small capricorn symbol on my right hip, a little vs one which is small and cute and i look at like my stamp of Capricornian!!
I am wanting to get another one on my lower middle back, and another to Symbolise my angels better including their names and dates, but i am yet to do it. As i am pregnant now, it will wait till Sprout arrives, and i may look into designing something to incorporate all my children.
Now DH..... where do i start!! LOL I will start at the top of his body and work down!!!!
On the back of his neck is the chinese symbol for Courage which is a two picture symbol
Right under that is a crossbow of fatherhood
And right under that is the symbol of his celtic family heritage
Under that is a long celtic sword running down his spine, with a skull in the handle of the sword- the sword has these cool wings that expand acroos his shoulder blades
On his left shoulder is celtic arm band and underneath that is a love heart with his daughters name in it
On his right shoulder he has a circle with the third eye in the centre- this was actually his first tattoo, and it symbolises someone or something always watching out for him.
Under that he has an arm band with the male symbol
On his right leg he has a picture of a skull dude with long hair!! It never got finished, so its just the out line and not my favourite, but it was funny having to shave his leg for him to get it done!!

: Had to double check Dh's positions and pictures!!! LOL
I have two. One on my ankle which is a bumble bee with a dotted fly trail. My sister drew it for me as a present for my 18th birthday. It is a representation of my name Melissa = honeybee. My dad was furious at me for getting a tattoo, but, being the acountant that he is. I told him it only cost $50 and if I span that out over the rest of my life even if I only live to 70 or so is is only $1 a year. great value!
The other is on my lower back and is the outline of Australia, It is actually the 2001 federation celebration symbol. It symbolisies to me that we must grow and change to reach our Ultimate Identity, this is what life is, the constant change and growing to strive for our goals. It is also a show of patriotisum I love and am proud of being Australian. What other courntry has started from such dodgy beginings and (for the most part) now has a fantastic culture and sense of welcome to everyone.

tattoo number 3 will be;
Haven't got the design or location yet but i have the inspiration. I'm opening my own coaching business and have called it Ultimate Identity. I want to get a tattoo to Inspire me when working as sometimes it can be overwhelming to relying totaly on myself.
Tattoo Number 4 will be;
My animal guide. which is a Spider. I want to get this right before i do it, as a spider on a girl could just look terrible.
Others will be any kids I have, Thier names and a picture of their animal guides.
I'm also thinking of something to remember our Tiny Dancers, the grief is still a little new so I'll have to wait for that one.
