donbcivil Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I debated getting a tattoo for quite a while, finally took the plunge a couple years back with a pun on a kanji character. I remember thinking half way through it that I didn't think I'd get more. But by the time I was driving home, I was feeling like I'd earned something and that I had to do it again. I've got tattoos now: Small: - that first one (the "way" character from kendo, crossed out) - the laughing wolf in my avatar (designed by my daughter) - the word "timshel" from East of Eden A little larger: - Triumph Speed Triple motorcycle - a Canadian maple leaf with a buffalo in it (since I grew up on the border in Buffalo, have lots of family on both sides of the border and my favorite thing is riding my motorcycle up into BC & sometimes Alberta. Now talking to my favorite artist about a larger Firefly sci-fi tattoo. Planning to get some while travelling, e.g., joining the Bristol Tattoo Club in England. Looking forward to talking with you all!

tattooedgirl Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Hello nice to meet you. I like the laughing wolf a lot. That is cool that it was designed by your daughter, it means more when you can have someone you know personally design it for you. How old is your daughter? See you around.

Daniel Badham Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I'm liking that laughing wolf, what's the meaning behind it? Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3686-hello-from-the-seattle-area/#findComment-64990 Share on other sites More sharing options...
donbcivil Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 I'm liking that laughing wolf, what's the meaning behind it? Thanks! I've always thought wolves are awesome, strong predators but social, pack animals. And canines have a sense of humor....was going for something that's a bit of a predator but not taking itself too seriously. Also, representing family. So, my daughter is a budding artist and I asked her to come up with the logo and she completely designed it. She knew it was for a tattoo but when I actually came home with it inked it kind of wigged her out a bit. But she's getting used to it and talks about possibly designing tattoos or even getting one herself. She rocks. What's the ink in your avi?
