Well, it's been a while since I've posted anything on my blog. I got married, I moved, I quit my job, I got 2 ferrets, and now here I go again re-inventing myself. I've been considering getting a tattoo -- but I've been afraid of doing so. I'm not afraid of the pain -- I hear it's not so bad, I'm afraid of ending up with something on my body that I really won't find meaningful down the road.
My husband has 7 tattoos and planning the 8th so it's been a topic that stays current. I always thought that if I had a child I would get a tattoo to represent them . . . Well I had a miscarrieage back in November of 2007, and have not been able to conceive (we've been trying since April 2008). Joking, I tell my husband that I will get his signature on my butt but, we both know that would be hillarious for 6 weeks and then a total disaster. Anyone that gets their partner's name tattooed end up seperated -- at least from the people I know.
As much as I love my ferrets - especially Chango who is a Momma's boy -- I don't think I want to tattoo a ferret on my body . . . well maybe his little paws . . . NO!
Doing some research and trying to stay away from the tribal, fairy, and rose tattoos, to be authentic and a little different, I stumbled accross the power of symbols. I really believe in the power of colors, symbols, and the power of suggestion. Anyway, I was looking at fertility symbols -- I'm doing everything possible before I have to get clinical treatment for fertility-- Feng Shui, better diet, meditating, spells, etc.; when I came accross a pomegranate flower. It was beautiful and so different, and it represents fertility. That image will be my tattoo! I am not sure that this will "make" me fertil but, I think my faith and my state of mind will be on the correct route to this new journey.
Besides, how many women do you know have a Pomegranate flower for a tattoo?
