OMG!!! Check out my first tattoo

Ok I didn't really get a new tattoo. No, Dessi just drew one on, but this idea has been in my head for a while, something along these lines anyway, in black outline with blue and red first, then white, then yellow, then green and so on my lower back.

“At your age?”

That was my parent’s reaction to the news that I was getting my first tattoo. It didn’t seem that I had told them I had been thinking about getting inked for the past few days. My bad.

The story actually starts over a years ago. I was a 24 yearold, I had found love and trust for the first time in a young man named _ _ _ _. After several months of feeling like my life was charmed and finally peaceful, my boyfriend started acting distant and strange, and definitely not the prince charming I was sure he was. In my struggle with acceptance that my first love was almost certainly not going to be the happily-ever-after story I was so sure it was destined to become, I started walking. I walked north, following my mood of needing guidance. Easy enough.

It was a gray day; not rainy, not warm, not cold. Just the kind of gray day that makes everyone and everything seem gray. It seemed to fit my mood: I was mad. A bit numb. How could life be this cruel? Why was I being denied my one true love? (Reminder: young college student thoughts.)teheee:>

About an hour or so later along my walk I saw a beautiful flower. The kind that you see in shows it was called a "new hope" (cherry blossoms) A good memory from my childhood. I have never been very religious, but hey, maybe I’d have some big revelation that would help me figure out this crazy life… or maybe I would at least meet someone cute…

I went to the church my former school and went inside to open the door, and behold, my one hope for being saved was locked. LOCKED?! How could a church’s doors be locked? Isn’t God supposed to be waiting for people exactly like me??

I sat down on the church steps, tired from my long walk, tired of feeling like a chump, and just plain tired of it all. There was an empty lot across the street from the church; no people, dead flowers, stumpy trees, broken asphalt; perfect viewing for my mood.

Just then, a stream of sunlight burst from the clouds above. I looked up and followed the stream as it made it’s way to earth. It fell right on a clump of brownish-deadish tall steal in the abandoned lot, and an amazing thing happened next. A swarm of monarch butterflies swirled up into the light! I couldn’t believe what I was seeing! Suddenly, my heart felt lighter, and I felt a sense of peace sweep over me like a cleansing wave of relief.

Needless to say, that was the first time something like God had touched my life. Of course I researched the meaning of monarch butterflies in every culture, religion, and gossip column… this was way before the internet, so it took me a while to get the true significance of the moment.

Fast forward to a few years later: I became a rock’n'roll chick, and noticed how gorgeous everyone’s tattoos looked on stage. I started to think about the cherry blossom flower moment in time, and how I always wanted to hold on to that peaceful feeling, and always wanted to remember the day of my transformation from damaged and hurt young girl to awakened and beautiful young woman.

Last Oct. 29, I called dessi my bestfriend my artist too to make the concept of the design: I really wanted a waves of sea, my name and a flower reaching towards enlightenment. (I love beaches) But, what would people say and think of me, and what it would cost? And let’s not forget about the pain; how much would it hurt? (I was always a wimp when it came to pain.)

Last oct. 14, ika gave birth. i wonder how its hurt? Does the pain same as being inked? Pain is now a big deal to me. People’s reactions to me are now not a big deal to me.I decided I really wanted the tattoo I’ve been dreaming about for so long. I believe in seven year cycles, and this was my fifth-seventh year cycle. Perfect timing on all aspects.

I researched shops, asked people where they got their tattoos, and learned more about the process of getting a tattoo (having the internet made the process much quicker this time). When I finally, after 4 years, walked into the tattoo shop I so meticulously sought out, and my tattoo artist is my bestfriend and I was sure was going to do my tattoo, he took one hour to do conceptualizing and said, “I’m no good at human forms."

Hmm.

One thing you have to understand about me, if you haven’t figured it out by now: I am a planner. I plan, plan, plan. It’s overall a good trait, but when things don’t go according to my plan… well, I get a little rattled. But, I was determined not to get rattled about this; this process, after all, had taken me on a 4 years journey; what’s a couple more weeks of getting to know the tattoo artist, helping him to figure out my concept, and finally getting the tattoo I’ve always dreamed about?

Well, I’m happy to say, I have been nothing but pleased with my gorgeous new tattoo. It’s still not done; I will have the last session next week. the cherry blossom, My name and Sea Waves will indeed be reaching for “enlightenment”… still a concept I am trying to translate into a tattoo, although my tattoo artist assures me he has it in his head; which I believe, since everything has gone according to plan so far. (Happiness for a person like me.)

I highly recommend the tattoo artist I have come to know: Dessimarco Rabal of Blackroom tatto shop. He’s been a lot of fun to work with! He’s a true artist with a plan and vision, and a relaxed attitude that helps you laugh through the pain.

Throughout this whole experience, I have learned that pain is part of the process. Also, if I can let go and trust with eyes open, the universe, God, enlightenment, or whatever you want to call it, will take my wants and lead me to where I need to go. I will get what I need in this life, no matter what plan I think I have for myself.

For about a week, it seems that he is changing. It could all easily be bullshit. It's so hard. My friends cause the doubt to surface so easily. Probably because all the pain that's there. SHIT TENDS TO JUST BLOW UP IN MY FACE WHEN I THINK THEY'RE GOING GOOD. It'd be just my luck if he's sleeping with a girl right now. I don't wanna be like some other girl.

If I were an entirely evil person... I would get back with him... and then cheat on him. But the thing is, I'm a good person. I care about him. Even though he didn't give a shit about me when he was having sex in some hotel, motel etc...

FOOL.

AHHH.

I can't help but be excited...
"I'm not going to stop trying. I don't care what you say."
