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.

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.

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.

Falling into Battle Born

Marine Core emblem. My boyfriend is in the Marine Core. I got this the day he left for boot camp. I surprised him with it.

Falling in Reverse is a metal band. It has been one of my favorite bands since I was 14. The band helped me through a lot, so I figured I would dedicate a little half sleeve to them. I would get some of their pieces, logos, emblems, and album covers.

The Killers is also a band. This tattoo is the lighting bolt from their Battle Born album. The Killers have been my original favorite band since I was six. I liked the lighting bolt, so I figured I would get that one.

Death’s head moth I have always wanted one of these, and I found a picture. I had my artist redraw a design of it and got it done.

Bats tattoo. I had always wanted a couple of bats somewhere. I am planning on extending it up my shoulder. It’s a bat design; people say it goes with my asthetics.

This is a snowdrop flower and cat skull tattoo. I went out on Friday the 13 with one of my friends. It was two of their flash art pieces. I love cats and have always had cats. I figured I would get the little cat skull. The snowdrop flower is one of my favorite flowers.

Finding a Journey

This lighthouse tattoo was my first tattoo. I was 18, and had just gotten out of boot camp from the Marine Core. My buddy and I went to get tattoos for the first time. I was in my head about a tattoo. I will be honest, it was a questionable decision. I rolled one of those gumball machines. It was a bunch of designs I liked, so I knew I would not be upset. That is all that is behind this tattoo.

Sic Parvis Magna. It means greatness from small beginnings in Latin. My best friend and I grew up playing this video game since childhood. I had always loved the quote; it’s on a ring in the game. At some point I thought it would be an excellent tattoo.

Alien tattoo is something I doodled all through middle school and high school. I have always had an obsession with UFOs, and so has my dad. We both grew up drawing aliens. It was something my dad did as a kid too, and I realized I had as well. The other day I had wanted to get a tattoo, and my buddy was getting one. He asked, “do you want to get a tattoo with me?” I showed it to the artist, and he was able to work it out.
