Guest guest Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Francisco...the color looks great (I saw it in its black and white state). I love the symbolism. As for me, I'm more of a natural kind of gal, no artificial coloring or flavoring. (except of course the occasional fake tan, manicures and pedicures, make up, occasional hair color to tone down the wild red hair that turns too blonde in the summer, oh and did I mention the desire for the butt implant/lift, boob job, arm job and thigh lift...and the eyelash tinting that I've done from time to time, the Botox and/or Restulen (sp?) that I'll get in a snap once I need it....) Yep, I'm an all natural kind of gal.... Robynn Diane Duenas wrote: Its beautiful Francisco and the new one sounds nice too!!

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Hello everyone: I just had the second session of my second tattoo (the first one can be seen in the photos section). This second tattoo (6 in tall, 4 inches wide on my upper arm) is a diamond shape boarder that contains colored swirls that signify the wind blowing through the changing seasons--green spring, orange summer, brown autumn and white blue winter. In the interior of the diamond is a purple candle--the candle of hope. The flame of the candle is the flame of spirituality. So while the winds of change blow around me, the candle of hope and the flame of spirituality sustain me. Francisco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Hi Francisco. The tatoo looks good but where is the picture of you? I would love to see the whole you. Love, Lilka PS I have not put a picture of me either up there. I used to throw away all the realistic photos of me and now I only have the ones in which I am half hidden behind my husband. I look thinner that way. God, will I be happy when I don't have to do that. Love, Lilka > > Hello everyone: > > I just had the second session of my second tattoo (the first one can > be seen in the photos section). > > This second tattoo (6 in tall, 4 inches wide on my upper arm) is a > diamond shape boarder that contains colored swirls that signify the > wind blowing through the changing seasons--green spring, orange summer, > brown autumn and white blue winter.
