I’ve been wanting to get a tattoo for awhile now. I’ve had the piece picked out for over a year now. A little over a month ago I decided where to put the piece. This week I meet the artist I’ve decided to let tattoo me. Finding the artist has been for the most part what has kept me from getting the tattoo. I wanted a Mexican or Xicano to do it. I know that sounds racist…I guess because it is a Mexican/Xicano art piece. If I wanted a Celtic symbol I would seek out a Celt clansman.
I am getting Alfred Quiroz’s piece “Goddess”. I am splitting the images in half. I am getting the pink Virgen de Guadalupe in between my breasts but low enough so that I can wear low cut tank tops and it wont be visible. I am putting the colorful Virgen (on the right side of Quiroz’s piece) on my back. If you were to shot a dart through me and through the Virgen in between my breasts the dart would shoot out in the back to the other Virgen De Guadalupe, the colorful one. I am getting the piece done while in Mexico by the artist Luis El Pelón.
That tatto looks like something Maude Lebowski would paint….
Dang that’s going to be great!
If i wanted to get a big tattoo, though, I think I’d start by getting a small one somewhere unobtrusive. Just so I’d know that I wouldn’t wimp out before the big one was done. But you may not be in danger of doing that the way I would.
Ouch, but still beautiful. What kept me from getting a tattoo for the longest time was the mere fact that I had no idea what to put on my body. Now, I need to overcome the two fears: pain and my parents.
That looks nice. It’ll definitely sting a little. Just a couple days ago I was looking at a book of tatoos of the virgen at a bookstore down here. There was some pretty impressive stuff, but I think you take the cake.
wow that’s a very cool concept. i love the images you’ve chosen. tattoos are a bit addictive, is this your first one?
