Ink

I've talked about getting a tattoo since I was a teen. I thought I had a design I wanted in my twenties, but I put it off until I was 35, "If I still want it then, I'll get it." But it wasn't a priority at 35.

But now I want one again, and I've been working on a design. The design is based in the Triple Moon concept. The Triple Moon is a full moon flanked by a quarter moon on the left and right. It represents Maiden-Mother-Crone. For me, it will represent my daughter, myself, and my mother. At the center will be a Flower of Aphrodite~ representing love, beauty, sex. I want something that signifies compassion as well, but I haven't figured that out. Each quarter moon will be formed by the name "Kathleen" for my mother and my daughter. It will be in a swirly font. The whole thing will be done in colors that are soft and feminine- I think pink, purple, blue. I don't want any black outlines.

Placement is the big question. I have always wanted one on the back of my neck, but at the moment, I'm leaning toward the back of my heart chakra because of what this represents. At the heart of me is my love for myself, my daughter and my mother.

If this one goes well... maybe 2 more... back of neck and sacrum.
