Mandarin Phoenix

Phoenix tattoo

Phoenix tattoo: This will be the rare tattoo without a story. The owner of the tattoo allowed me to take the picture. They did not speak enough English for me to get the story of the tattoo. I did not speak enough Mandarin to ask for the story. They did keep stating, “from dust to bird.” Deep, in a poetic way.

Balance and Friendship

Gemini tattoo

Gemini tattoo: they knew their first tattoo would be the Gemini symbol. They feel like their body embraces that personality. They wanted their first tattoo to represent a thing that represents who they are.

Kanji star tattoo

Kanji star tattoo: The kanji is one their best and oldest friend’s names. Their friend has their name tattooed in kanji. Their friend wanted to get a best friend tattoo. They decided to get this tattoo just in case they someday weren’t be friends anymore. It’s been 23 years, and they are still friends.

Precious Moments tattoo

Precious Moments tattoo: It’s an angel and a devil. They knew for the longest time they wanted a Precious Moments Angle tattoo. This was to mirror the Gemini idea of two sides in balance.

Calvin and Hobbes tattoo

Calvin and Hobbes tattoo: They love the books, for both the humor and the more adult tones. They knew they wanted Calvin and Hobbes adventure scene tattoo. They love the adventures they go on and the fun they have as friends.

Receipt Pal Get Paid for your Receipts!

Receipt Pal

I get a small bonus if you use my link to sign up for ReceiptPal. I have been using this app for a while. You get 100 points for 4 receipts from just about anywhere. You are able to get a maximum of 300 points a week from receipts. Each receipt is also an entry in the weekly $250 drawing. The smallest reward is 2000 points for a $5  Amazon gift card, up to 26,000 points for a $100 Amazon gift card.

It may take awhile to get a big reward. But it take a couple of minutes to scan in the receipts that you might just throw away anyway. Why not get a little money for the receipts?

If you end up trying ReceiptPal, let me know it how it works out for you.

 

Rocket Raccoon

Rocket Raccoon tattoo: It’s from the Marvel character. Rocket is their favorite comic book character. Rocket  is small and vulnerable, but also immensely skilled. Rocket doesn’t let anything slow him down. This is their connection to the tattoo.

Multiple Bloodlines

Aliit ori'shya tal'din tattoo

Aliit ori’shya tal’din tattoo. This roughly translates into “family is more than a bloodline.” It is from the Mandalorian language of Mando’a. It represents a lot of the memories of their family that were adopted. These memories are worth more then some of their blood family. This was the first tattoo they got, and the moment they got out of the tattoo shop, they got a phone call from their father that their nephew was in the hospital on his last few breathes of life. They ended up speeding 90 miles an hour to the hospital. Every time they look at the tattoo it reminds them of their nephew who passed away from left heart ventricle syndrome.

Valknut tattoo

Valknut tattoo: They got this as a religious tattoo and it helps to remind them of their faith, and their connection to the Allfather Odin. It’s a nice guide to help them never fear the afterlife.
