--- Quote from: Cardelli on November 01, 2016, 05:53:21 AM ---Sorry but i don't agree at all with the statement that a tattoo need to have a deeper meaning or there is no point in getting them. Almost all of my tattoos (except 2) I got because I like the way they look, I get a certain feeling when I look at them, it make me happy. It's art, I have someones ideas and thoughts on my body forever just that is reason enough to get them. Saying a tattoo needs to have a deeper meaning is like saying you can't buy a painting or a photogrph just becaue you like to look at it. Anyways i really like your tattoos.

I meant no offense.   Having meaning is something that I apply to myself.  Everyone has reasons of their own for getting their ink.  As long as it makes you happy that's what really counts. 

Cardelli:
No offense taken at all :) And es being happy with your tattoos is what counts!  O0

I may have told this story in here before but here goes anyway.
I have had a grizzly bear on my right deltoid for years. When my dad was dying of cancer in the early 90s I started having these nightmares of being chased by a bear. The venues changed, for example, one of the places he chased me was on a riverboat, sometimes it was an abandoned building or out in the woods. Even after he died the nightmares continued. One of my friends at the time was a guy who was Blackfeet and was regarded as a shaman within his circle. I told him about the dreams and asked him how I could maybe reduce or eliminate them as they were causing some sleep disturbances. He told me that I had to make the bear my ally. I asked him how I should go about that and in true shamanic fashion he replied "how the F**K do I know?". So one day I was sitting around the house with nothing to do. I was tired because I was being visited by the bear every night and a light went on and I thought, YEAH! I'll get him tattooed on me. So I wasted no time getting to my local tattoo parlor. The bear was flash but it was a black bear, I had the artist change the color to brown and had him put it on me. That night I went to bed and it was the first time in about 2 years that I didn't have the nightmare and have not had one since and it's been over 10 years.

Awesome tattoo story.  I wonder if I tattoo'd my bill collector on my back he'd stop chasing me.   ;D
