Speaking of tattoos

Who wants to see mine?! :D too bad, I love showing them off.

I'mma post them in order if oldest to newest:

My first:

I spent a literal decade (half my life) thinking of tattoo ideas, designs that mean the most to me, how they're done, how it all works... Doing every ounce of research about them as I possibly could (I'm terrified of needles, so while I really wanted a tattoo, I was really nervous). In the end, I went with this:

A memorial for my great grandmother. It's blurry as shit cuz I took it in a hurry in the bathroom at work, but it says "1918-2009" in the banner, and "you are my sunshine" below it. She always sang that to us. Got it in that spot for a reason too. On my shoulder as if it were an angels wing (before I started watching spn), and on my right shoulder because that's my dominant side. So it's like she's the angel on my shoulder and watching my movements... I put a LOT of thought into it and I'm so happy with it :) I got it March of 2016.

My second one:

This one is on my left wrist. This one also has a huge meaning that's very personal to me... Not sure how many of you are familiar with "The Butterfly Project", but that was something counselors in one of my school's taught me which pulled me out of a dark hole.

After a messy break up, a sloppy move, and a less-than-pleasant (to put it nicely with sparkles on it) roommate... I fell back into that hole. Ended up making the decision to move back home. I had seen a similar pattern in a tattoo shop in Virginia and absolutely fell in love... I was fortunate enough to have found it online so I could bring it in to my new artist. He tweaked it a lot (let's just say this was not the design I had in mind... Or had drawn to show my artist), and while I feel like it was royally warped, I still think the outcome is beautiful. Got very late July of 2016

My third:

This is my first band-centric tattoo. Not sure how many of you are familiar with Nothing More, but they're one of my top 5 favorite bands ever (and given how much I love and cherish music, that's saying a LOT). I had seen them at a festival during the summer of 2016, and lemme tell you.... The shows they put on was astounding!

So I planned a tattoo that was a combination of two songs I really loved: Christ Copyright and This Is The Time. Christ Copyright is where the line "We Are Not Machines" comes from. They chant it in the song, and even though I've heard it a literal dozen thousand times, it still gives me goosebumps.

The randsom note design comes from This Is The Time's line "holding each other like randsom notes/ dropping our hearts to grip our brothers throats". I could so go in-depth on the beauty that is that song... But I won't. This post is about tattoos lol. I got this one 3 days before I took a train to Manhattan NYC to see them play and meet them! Fun fact: that trip was 100% solo and it was a blast! I wanna go back so bad. They're the literal sweetiest people ever and after the show I got to meet, talk, and hang out with all of the bands... Best day of my life 💕 (pardon the boobs)

To this day, that tattoo gets the most praise. I've been thinking about adding color, but idk yet.

My fourth and fifth:

Castiel's was done first, followed by Dean's. I had gotten in the habit of drawing these patterns on my hand at work for months... I finally said "fuck it, this is where these belong and this is where they'll stay." I have a whole theme planned (and am actually going to make an appointment today to get Sam's and touch these two up) Sam's is going to be the Men Of Letters symbol, then I'm going to get a black/red crown for Crowley, and a Flask for Bobby. On the back of my hand I'm going to have "Team Free Will", and will be adding various characters along my fingers and around TFW. I got these two about a month before GISHWHES started, because I wanted to be able to have them showing in pictures. I don't think they showed up though, sadly :/

And last but not least, my 6th.

My GISHWHES tattoo.

Misha you little shit.

I had to call literally 4 different tattoo shops before I found one that could do it at SUCH SHORT NOTICE. Probably the most stressful tat I've ever gotten lmfao. I literally toyed with font for like 20mins on my laptop, and decided to translate the saying into italian. My family is from Italy, and I think the phrase sounds beautiful in that dialect.

Fun fact: this tattoo has also gotten THE MOST abuse out of all 6 of mine. For some reason people felt compelled to slap me there constantly until it healed... And a friend of mine introduced me to the concept of "setting" (DO NOT EVER LET YOUR "FRIENDS" SET YOUR FRESH ASS TATTOO. I WAS DRUNK ON WHISKEY AT THE TIME SO THE PAIN DIDNT LAST VERY LONG, BUT WHILE IT DID HURT I WAS IN LITERAL TEARS. ITS A TRAP DONT DO IT)...

I blame Misha. Since it was a Misha-centric tat, his curse of abuse he gets on set had carried over to my arm lmfao. I don't regret it though. So many people ask me about it at work, so I get to speak italian every day :) I'm gonna get color spashes around it and the Porcupanda somewhere around it as well (artist didn't have time before they had to close up shop, so we went with it).

So there!

There's all my tats and now you know a little more about me lmao
