HNTattoos hehe

I was one of them kids who always tried to talk my mom into signing for me to get a tattoo before I turned 18... and she wouldn't do it.. lol so my 18th birthday I went and got my first one. My whole life I've used the ying-yang to symbolize my life. I'm the perfect mixture between good and bad. Half and Half... Ying and Yang. =) So it made sense that my first tat was the ying-yang symbol.... and I went for the normal boring run of the mill place most chics get their first tat at.... my ankle. Hurt like a bitch. lol


Well, the guy I was with was one of those "girls shouldn't have tattoos" type people and always hated it and told me I couldn't get any more.... so I didn't get any more for awhile. The day him and I broke up, I went and got my "tramp stamp" . I was 20 when I got this one... and later had to go back and have it redone because it all kinds blurred together, but it looks great now. And again, I went for a ying yang.


Then when Sean and I got married in 2000, we decided to get matching tattoos. Didn't wanna get each others names... too cliche and ya never know what could happen, so we went with matching ones. This is the only tat I have that I picked out of a book but we were trying to come up with something that looked good on me and sean both. =)


Went 3 years before getting another one... during that time I pierced a few things tho.. hehe Then Sean, me, his sister, his brother and his brothers wife all went together and had a "family tattoo day" lol. His sister, brothers wife and me all decided to get a flower on our hip. So I got a purple flower on my left hipbone. Well, after it healed, and the more I'd look at it, I didn't like it that much, wanted something else added to it... so when I heard my friend Creed did tattoos, I had him match the flower on my right hip and put a tribal vine across my stomach. So the left flower was done by someone different than the rest of this one.


I mentioned earlier the signifigance of the ying-yang and how it helps me to maintain that "balance" in my life between good and evil... that's what inspired my next two tattoos. So, on my right wrist, where everyone can see, I have my demon.....my evil side. And on the left wrist, I have my angel. (and since I obviously have a wee bit more evil than good in me, my angel also has horns)


Was sitting around with a group of friends one day and we all realized that we had something in common. In the past 3 years that Sean and I have been involved in Louisville's music scene, we've met some of the most amazing people we've ever known. Made a lot of really great friends.... and when we were all together one day, we decided to all get music notes behind our ears to signify all the awesome people we met thru music. =) Me, Sean, Russell, Chloa, Kat, Nijer, Staci, and Gina all have this tattoo, and I know like 10 others who plan to get it.


And last but certainly not least.... since mom died I've wanted to get a memorial tattoo in remembrance of her. I also plan to get one in remembrance of my dad I just haven't designed it yet... But mom, as you all know, was blind.. and at 5 years old she taught me how to read and write braille so that if I needed to leave her a note or something I could. So I thought it was only fitting that I have her name in braille put on top of my wrist, on the angel side.. so everyone could always see it. This is the smallest tat I have, and it literally took 2 minutes to get, and I never even felt a twinge when he was doing it... but it is also the one I'm most proud of, and the one I thought the most about getting.




and just fyi... all my tattoos are what make it so hard to actually post an anonymous picture over at the OHNT! lmao. There really isn't an angle of me that doesn't show at least one of them... hehe

So there ya have it.... Robyn's tattoos...... and it's nowhere NEAR all that I'll have. I already have plans in mind for 4 others. ;) Happy Half-Nekkid Thursday everyone!!!! =)
