Karala Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 and iiitt'ss... a ladybug! ^^ behind my right ear. I love it so much, I'm so psyched up, lol. Any other breakup tattoos around here? ^^ Oh well, I'd been meaning to get one for ages. But it sure isn't a coincidence that I've only got around to it now. I have to say it does help a lot to make me feel better about myself and to remind myself of the 'new me' I want to evolve into.
Duckduckgoose Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 I got a divorce tattoo. I'd wanted a tattoo for a while, and a couple months after my exH left I did it.
marqueemoon4 Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 my exW has gotten two tattoos since she left. whatever floats your boat.
LelouchIsZero Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Does your tattoo have a meaning or anything of the sort Karala? (not that they necessarily need one)
Author Karala Posted September 8, 2011 Author Posted September 8, 2011 Sort of... but not that much. It is related to a song I used to sing when I was little that went "je suis coccinelle, je suis la plus belle" which means "I'm a ladybug, I'm the prettiest" which sounds reaaaly stupid translated to english, but still a symbol of self-worth to me. The song went on about being able to fly anywhere which to me relates to FREEDOM to fly away when I don't feel good around a person or situation... and then something about "you decide weather it's rain or shine", something I need to remember since I've been battling with depression for all of my adult life and I need to remember that the choice really is mine. I got to sing this song on a stage once, must have been five or six. One of the first times I ever sang on stage, not the last since I'm (among other things) a singer now. Then when I logged on to this board, I chose a ladybug as my avatar, and somewhere down the line someone I'd grown fond of on here told me this ladybug had become their symbol of hope. Also the fact that we had a sort of laduybug invasion here in France this summer. Ladybugs will always remind me of this crazy summer where I had to say goodbye to the person I loved the most. And hopefully, coming out of it as a more self-assured, freer and enpowered woman. Also, my ex was supposed to do the drawing for my tattoo (he's the best goddamn drawer I've ever known) but then we went NC and of course there was no question of it. So the tattoo is a symbol of life going on without him. That although I would have loved it to be him (to draw my tattoo, father my children whatever lol), it's gonna have to be without him because I WON'T retire from my life or the things that are dear to me. No hard feelings, but if he couldn't do the job, too bad, someone else is gonna have to. Just because he flaked out, I'm NOT putting my life on hold. I could have waited it out hoping that when NC comes to an end, hopefully we could be friends again (which we were before and said we would be again) and then he could do the drawing. But he's proven to me time and time again that he can't be counted on, so screw him. Lol, I guess my ladybug does have a lot of meaning to me after all. I also just love them, consider them very pretty and they're supposed to be good luck. Sorry for rambling like that, I guess I needed to tell the story ^^
LelouchIsZero Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Its fine, Karala -- That's a lot of ladybug related things haha. I was considering getting a tattoo, though I need to gain some weight, I'm currently a twig. My mother has a ladybug tattoo with my sisters name next to it, though its on her foot & she had it done because of said sister passing away.
