When I was 18 I decided I was going to rebel against one of the things my mother hated most, tattoos. So I went with a friend, and chose "Rabbit". It's a Chinese character that symbolizes the year I was born. I get some pretty crazy looks every time I tell someone that. They always assume first that it's some sort of sexual thing. It really isn't though! I was born in the year of the rabbit, I have always been fascinated by the Chinese Zodiac.
It almost describes me to a T...
Rabbits are private individuals, a bit introverted and withdrawn. People are born into this sign would rather work behind-the-scenes instead of being the center of attention in any situation. They are very friendly individuals who enjoy the company of a group of good friends whether at a business dinner or a holiday party. Rabbits just like to be a part of the gang as opposed to the leader of it. The Rabbit is also one of the most stylish of all the animal signs, and has a very artistic nature. They really enjoy painting, music, and expressing themselves. It is a sign of peace, and they are often wise, tranquil, and considerate people.There are 12 signs in the Chinese Zodiac, so each one only comes every twelve years. There are also five elements, metal, wood, fire, water, and earth. So the element alternates each time the sign comes around. I was born in 1987 & I am a "Fire Rabbit" Fire adds an unspoken magnetism and mystery to the Rabbit. These people have a burning desire to get out and live life to the fullest. They are adventurous and love anything that sparks their creativity or curiosity. They can throw tantrums here and there, if provoked, but most of the time they work very hard to avoid conflict or confrontations. Fire Rabbits are charming and tend to push their emotions into the backs of their minds, but will speak up if necessary. They are extremely organized and the best way to throw a Rabbit off is to remove something from its sitting place. They are so orderly and their homes and offices so clutter-free that it is sometimes a point of humor with their friends. Rabbits are modest in their decorating choices and choose different shades of green such as sages and turquoises.
Another? Yes Please!
This post was supposed to be about how I want to get another tattoo, but I got into the whole zodiac thing. So anyway, I have been thinking so so much lately about getting another tattoo. The hubby and I really wanna do something together if we can figure out what. I've always heard so much controversy about getting names done, but I am REALLY wanting to get his name tattooed on me somewhere, not sure where though.
We really like the idea of the sparrows, one for each of us. They are of course originally meant for sailors. They are known for traveling great distances & always returning home. So they are supposed to act as talisman to bring a sailor home safe. That's enough right there to convince me! The sparrow is also known to choose a soul mate and stay with them for their entire lifespan. So it seems fitting... as he is my sailor, and my soul mate.
I really like this one...
I would do something original of course, I've tried drawing it out before but got impatient with it at the time, so guess I will have to try again!
