These are my little salt & pepper tattoos, “listen” & “speak”, you can’t do one effectively without the other in my opinion. They’re also my first tattoos, but certainly not my last. :)
They were done this past Friday (6/22/12) at Inksanity in Somerset, NJ by tattoo artist Ben.
I got this a few weeks ago. The picture was taken right after I got it so that’s why it’s a little red. I got an eiffel tower because it’s my favorite structure in the world. It also represents my wanting and love for traveling. I got it done at Artistic Soul in Ormond Beach, Fl. My artist was named Josh. He did an amazing job and i’m still obsessed with it now.
I designed this tattoo with a very talented friend of mine. I love natural structures, so the shell was an ideal fit to what represented a snail. Spirals represent expanding consciousness and the circle in the center represents unconsciousness, so it’s similar to a snail’s movement of moving in and out to looking outward and also moving inward to see yourself clearly. As well, I love music and it also looks like a person playing an instrument from above. This intricate pointillism piece was done by the amazing Ashley from Adrenaline Tattoo and Piercing in Montreal, Canada.
I am very fascinated by the Eiffel Tower and have spent alot of time over the years collecting Eiffel Tower items with my mom. I got this to remind me of the time we spent together and to showcase architectural beauty.
