Happy Man’s Sailor Jerry

These are places and faces I have been to. In my world, the keeper of time always has life for you. You can end up in places where you can laugh now or cry later. Your third eye is always paying attention. If you don’t get caught up in the right side of the cause, you’ll end up in the graveyard at 0 depth 30. That is where I am in life.

My leg is a completely different turn. In your world, people always talk about the devils on your back. You’ve got to get off your ass and do something. With me prays to the same people we do. We always have a book that we’re reading. The keeper of time is all the way up in the galaxy. That is where I am my shield is always wrapped around me. I keep a lady underneath me at all times.

We live in a world of sheep run by pigs ruled by wolves. A wolf will decimate a sheep and a pig 30,000 times over what the human race can do to us.

This is a happy man’s Sailor Jerry. You know if you are a pirate you have to have a Sailor Jerry everywhere you go.

Halloween Scene

My partner’s mother insisted on giving me this tattoo. She saw it and said it belonged on my body somewhere. She was going to do it if I liked it or not. I chose my arm.

July 29th, 2017. You are my Sunshine. It’s for my son. It’s the time he was born on the clock. The flowers are his birth flowers.

I got this for my birthday. My birthday is Oct 26. I am a Halloween fan, and his mother asked what I wanted. I said I wanted a Halloween scene. She created an entire Halloween scene for me. I love it.
Praise be to the lord my rock who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle. Psalm 144:1.
When I was in law enforcement, before I converted to paganism, I had got this tattoo, to protect myself while on the force.
Kleiner Kampfer. It means little fighter in German. My son’s middle name is Kampfer.
This was another birthday present from my mother-in-law, which I got close to Halloween. It looked like a cartoon when she first did it. It popped and looked like it was coming off my skin.
This was another birthday present from my mother-in-law. My star sign is Scorpio. I wanted the constellation plus the Scorpion. She made that happen.
Vegvisir is a compass. It has all the Viking Norse runes. It also has the will of elm in the middle with the crow.
This was a cover-up of somebodies initials. Don’t ever initial somebody’s name on yourself.
Type 1 Diabetes. I have been a type 1 diabetic for 22 years. I got this if I pass out EMTs can know I am diabetic.

All of these tattoos were inked by my mother-in-law.

Life on the Edge

My first tattoo was the Zodiac Taurus. I got this because a Taurus is who I am.

This clock is set to the birth time of my son.

I got this tattoo for the child that my wife and I lost. I felt like I had to get this one.
This is me and my son on the beach. I used to sing You are my sunshine when he was little.

The koi fish is a symbol of courage. It is also good luck because the koi is swimming up.

I am not sure why I got this. It was a flash fill-in tattoo.
Monarch butterfly, or Death’s head moth. I got this because Silence of the Lambs is one of my favorite movies.
The diamond is my birthstone. I felt like this was an important tattoo.
Devil’s head tattoo. I got it to connect to my demons. My past is in the past.
The skulls are tied in with the demon. Then you have the demon sucked up into this vortex. The eye in it is from the Tool album.
I got this because it was a reasonable price.
These are my initials. When I was drawing when I was younger, I would always put my logo on all my pictures.
This is a life and death hourglass. It explains life and death.

“You cannot kill what you did not create.” The tattoo blog author did not get the story behind this tattoo.

Unseen tattoo: “I’ll be your huckleberry,” from the Doc Holiday Tombstone.

All of these tattoos were inked by this person’s mother.

Daddy’s Little Monster Hybrid

There are two characters, Harley Quinn and Marceline, that have both been described as Daddy’s Little Monster. They both suffered a lot of trauma. They both started off feeling they were monsters. However, they each eventually arrived at a place of healing. They were able to acknowledge that inner monster, but it no longer dictated their lives. Now, they can be kind of light about these facts. I thought it looked kind of cool as a hybrid tattoo.

Imagine Peace and Death in Las Pampas

This was my first tattoo. I am from Argentina. This is from Las Pampas, which is the plains of Argentina. The Gauchos were the cowboys of the land. This is a very typical design in the area. It is a presentation of your journey through life. It has mountains, valleys, heaven, earth, and the beyond. I felt this represented my roots. It also connected to my journey through life and the things you have to go through.

Imagine Peace Dove is my second tattoo. “Dove” is from Picasso. “Imagine” is by John Lennon. I got this after I graduated with my master’s, which I did while working full-time. I was also raising two children. It was my way of reminding myself that everything is possible. It also stated to me that education gives you freedom.

Skull and Roses tattoo. This is a tribute to both of my parents, who are deceased. Each rose represents one of them. It is also a homage to Los Muertos, the Day of the Dead. I had a fascination with that meaning and celebration. It is a way to be connected to them. The colors are light blue and yellow. This is to connect to the Argentinian flag.

Kinder Surprise in the Bermuda Triangle

I went to Bermuda Triangle. Everything there is super expensive. This candy was over 5 Dollars. Which is 5 times what it would cost in the US, except. You can not buy this candy in the US. This is illegal candy to sell. The law has something to do with things people can choke on. I had to buy it. Above is what it looked like when I bought it.

I took it apart not nearly as cute.
Ate some of it. Cholate was good. Nothing special.

Took apart the plastic stuff to see what was inside.

This is what they look like all put together. Ducky now lives in a plant, and will have a nice life.

If it was under 3 dollars I may buy again, just for the excitement of what toy I would get.

Recording A Warrior

This was my first tattoo. It means courage. Below it says, “Fall seven times and get back up eight.” The meaning is never to give up and always dare to stand up for what is right.

I got the record symbol because my new passion is filming. Recording is my primary way of life, so I got the record button. It means always going out and doing something, even if it does not turn out the way you want.

Way of the Warrior. Japanese kanji. This means you go through life trying to make a way for yourself, even if there are hard times. You always have to overcome obstacles and move forward even if it’s hard for you.

1998 was the year my cousin was born. He died recently. I got this to connect and always remember.

LARPing with Totoro

Totoro with the leaf on the hat is a character from “My Neighbor Totoro.” It is a Studio Ghibli tattoo. It means a lot to me. This was the first animated movie I watched with my family.

This is a blooming thistle sitting on top of a Celtic Knot. It represents both my Celtic and Irish ancestry. I also have a LARP character whose name is Thistle. The Celtic Knot is her guild’s emblem. I have my first LARP OC character with me.

Looking for a Happy Sun

This is a little Buddha Tattoo. Growing up, my mom was into spirituality, and I have always been a religious person. This was protection at the time for me, just looking at the Buddha. Embody the Buddha, body meditation, and spiritual enlightenment.

This lotus flower tattoo goes with the Buddha; we are coming from the mud. You have this beautiful flower going through rough times but still living and conquering it. This is why I got it.
This is a Nikon d5100 camera. It was my first camera. I was fascinated with photography in college because you could capture moments. You could show your point of view permanently.

This is my Libra scale. The scales of justice.

This was a stick and poke tattoo that I did myself. It was a missing puzzle piece. I am planning on getting this re-done as a phoenix. I did this puzzle piece because I thought I was missing something. It was right before I started traveling.

The Eye of Horus with a hydrogen atom in the center. I have a friend who is also like a sister. We both got hydrogen atoms because hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. We wanted to be constantly connected. I got the Eye of Horus because I wanted protection, and I enjoy Egyptian mythology.

This is a sun whistling. It’s just, “I know you love the sun.”

Four Egyptian Gods in One

This is an Ankh. I am an Egyptian Pagan. It has all four of my deities: Bastet, Set, Kepri, and Anubis. The tattoo was connected to these gods. Lady Violet Arcane did this tattoo.
