Day 7: Tattoos and Their Meanings

Today's post is about my tattoos and their meanings. ( if any) I will not be posting them in any particular order. I will write a description, their meaning and when I got it ( or an approximate time I got it). I will also be posting a picture of the tattoos.


  1. This tattoo is on my right upper arm. I got this one in 2014. It says " Two broken people will either fit together perfectly or fucking destroy each other beyond repair" it also has 2 halves of a broken heart. I got this quote because I believe this to be true. I am broken hoping for the perfect fit but it seems like I will just end up destroyed beyond repair. If I haven't been already.
     
  2. This  tattoo is on my right foot. I got this one in 2014. It is a hatchetgirl surrounded by tribal that kind of looks like bat wings. It is shaded with blue to give it some color. I am a Juggalo ( or Juggalette if you prefer) which is why I got this tattoo. 
  3. This tattoo is on my left calf and is only part of a tattoo that needs to be finished. This was done in 2013. It says "In Twiztid We Trust" I am a fan of Twiztid and have a few Twiztid tats. I won't reveal the rest of the tattoo that still needs to be added, but I will say that it will be Twiztid related of course. The coloring in it is black on the top half and blue on the bottom.

  4. This tattoo is on my right hand. It was done in 2014. it is a cover up and she didn't leave any negative space so you can't really tell where the petals are. It is supposed to be a Dark Lotus flower. It was originally just the lettering J.R.B. this is another Juggalo Tattoo. I had the original J.R.B. covered because the person who did it made the "R" look more like an "A". J.R.B.= Juggalo Rydas Bitch. I know it is not part of a Dark Lotus song. It is lyrics from Gang Related by ABK that Violent J does. It wasn't supposed to be part of the cover up but she added it anyway. 
  5. This is a half sleeve on my left forearm. This one is multiple tattoos together to make the sleeve. The first part of this tattoo is the heart with the arrow through it and the feather hanging off the arrow. The tattoo was done June 6, 1997. That was the day I buried my son. Right after the funeral I went to the tattoo shop picked it out and had Barry the tattoo artist do it. My son passed away 3 days before I got the tattoo. In 2005 on Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras) in New Orleans,  a friend of mine bought me a tattoo so I was getting one when she did.  I had "Remembering Christian added around the heart tattoo. The tattoo artist spelled "Remembering" wrong even after I spelled it for him. In 2014 I had "Remebering" (that is how it was spelled, he missed the other 'm') covered with the big gecko that goes around my arm and his dates were added (1/8/96-6/3/97). The feet on the gecko needed fixing and was really dark so I wanted to lighten the tattoo up some and at this point wanted a half sleeve since it was taking up most of my forearm anyway. I got the flowers, lyrics and the color as a filler in July 2015. The lyrics I have with the tattoo are "I don't want to lose you but I lost you! No one can take your place" from the song Listen by Twiztid. I also have "If I had one last chance just to say goodbye and tell you that I'd miss you until the day I die" which are lyrics from "Last Chance" by Anybody Killa (ABK)


  6. This is a 2 tattoos that were done at the same time and goes together. They are located on the side of both my right and left hand by the pinky. These were done in 2014. They say "Whoop Whoop" It is another Juggalo tattoo. 

  7. This is also 2 tattoos done at the same time and go together. They were also done in 2014. "Wickedly" is on the side of my right hand by the thumb and it goes with "Demented" that is on the side of my left hand by the thumb so that it says "Wickedly Demented" I got this because I feel this describes me and now no one can say I didn't warn them. 

  8. This tattoo is a cover up for a tattoo I got in 2014 on my ring finger on my left hand. The original tattoo was a guy's name "Joey" who claimed he wanted to marry me but he lied to me. So I  made the mistake of putting his name on me. In 2015 ( actually my latest tattoo) I got it covered with a spiderweb with 2 spiders and the word "Twiztid" in the web. In 2014 I had a tattoo done on the top of my hand between  my thumb and pointer finger. That tattoo is "J4L" (Juggalo for Life). I didn't want to cover it so the web was done so it looks like it is part of the Twiztid tat on the top of my left hand. 
  9. This tattoo is another Twiztid tat. It is on my neck on the right it is an ambigram one way it says "Madrox" the other way it says "Twiztid" it is surrounded by tribal art that is colored green. I got this tattoo in 2014.
  10. This tattoo is also a Twiztid tat and is also on my neck. It is on the left side. It says "Mono" and is surrounded by tribal. This was done in 2014
  11. This tattoo was done in 2006. This is an "In Memory" tat without the words added to it. I know it is an I figured that was all that counted. This tattoo is on my lower back, around the same place where they call it a "Tramp Stamp" which upsets me because of what it means to me. I originally wanted this tattoo on the inside of my left calf near my ankle. The tattoo artist said it would look better where it is now. I got mad the first time someone called it a tramp stamp. Anyway I got this one done because the father of my daughter Madison (she is 9 years old) passed away Nov. 5, 2005 in a house fire. I was a month pregnant with our daughter when he passed away. He loved dragons so I got a heart made out of dragons to stand for him and Madison. She was born in 2006 so I got this tattoo after I gave birth to her. 
  12. This Tattoo is on my back by my shoulder blade on my right side. This was done in 2014. This was originally drawn for me by a 17 year old who is the daughter of a friend of mine I known for over 20 years. It is a heart with a flower as part of the heart on the left side. I has a purple butterfly inside the heart and a sun ( Purple is Madison's favorite color). Her name is on the inside of the heart also. This was done for my 9 year old daughter Madison. The picture was drawn up for her and I liked it so much I had it tattooed on me. 

  13. This tattoo was done in 2005 ( Before I got pregnant but after Hurricane Katrina). It is a teddy bear holding a heart with the name Stanley. I got this after I was told a real good friend of mine whom I considered a big ol' teddy bear didn't make it through Hurricane Katrina.
  14. This Tattoo I got in Shreveport Louisiana in 2005 after Hurricane Katrina. It is a cover up. What was originally there was a tattoo done by hand with a sewing needle and india ink in 1988 When I was 17. It was supposed to be a swan and looked more like a soup ladle. I had this Ankh with a raspberry vine cover it. The Ankh is also called Cross with a handle. The Egyptians believed this symbol to stand for life. This is the reasoning behind me getting. I just experienced losing a home in a category 5 hurricane and I got a reminder of the life I still had. This tattoo is on my right leg above the ankle. 
  15. This tattoo was done in 2005 in Louisiana. it is on my left arm right below the shoulder. It is the eyes of Horus and an Ankh. The Ankh stands for "Life" and the eyes of Horus stands for "all seeing". This tattoo stands for "All seeing of Life" I do not believe that is mean i got it to stand for the Higher Power that got me through a life or death situation with my life. 
  16. This tattoo I got in 1994 after I divorced my first husband. I got an eagle in flight to stand for freedom from a controlling relationship.
  17. This tattoo was done in 2005 while I was in Louisiana. It is a red rose with the name Kalla (pronounced Kayla). She is my oldest daughter. She is 22. This tattoo is on the right side of my chest right above my right breast. 
  18. This tattoo I got in 2004. This is the name of the person who put me through the life or death ordeal I mentioned earlier. I got his name cause I figured I could get it covered and that would be easier to do then deal with getting physically abused. The only reason I don't have it covered yet is because I don't know what to cover it with due to the placement of the tattoo. It is by the hairline of my woman parts. I don't want to get just anything there but I really do need to get it covered. It is the colors pink and blue because the tattoo artist wanted to use light colors so it would be easier to cover up later, instead of the dark blue and black "Vinson" wanted. ( This will be the only Tattoo I will not be posting a pic of due to where it is located at)
  19. This Tattoo is on my left hip. I got this done in 2000. It is the sun, moon and clouds all in one tat. I got it just because I liked the design. There is no special meaning behind this one.
     
  20. This tattoo was my first professional tattoo. I got this at the age of 18 in 1988. My very first boyfriend picked it out. He "branded" his girlfriends' when ever he dated someone new with a tattoo of his choice. I wanted a professional tattoo so bad that I didn't care if he picked it out. for me it stands for my first professional tattoo and the beginning of my addiction to tattoos. 


I have a lot more planned. if you notice I got a lot of the tattoos around the same time more than once there is a reason behind that. If you read any of my other blogs in this challenge I am doing you would have found out that instead of self-harm I got tattoos. knowing the years I got my tattoos you can tell which ones where the want for self-harm was strong.

I want to state that I am doing this challenge for me to see if I can sit down and still write no matter how busy my day is and so far I am doing rather well. Some of the topics for the 30 days are a bit personal but that helps me in a way to by getting me out of my comfort zone. You can't write a good horror book if you stay in your comfort zone you need to scare yourself sometimes.


Tomorrow's blog will be: A book I love and one I don't.
