The first one was on a whim, which I don't recommend doing. The violet and the stars I've been thinking about for the last 5 or so years. As for where, I like how tattoos look on the lower back, and the stars fit well, there.
They didn't hurt too bad, actually. My sunburn a few weeks ago was a lot more painful.
Indeed, it is. Dragon. I once had a really nice asian gentleman strike up a conversation with me when he read the back of my neck in Borders. I was just happy to know that it said what it was intended to and not "Stupid white girl" or something.
Like those people who wear shirts with Japanese on them that end up saying like, "baka" or "my brain is made of kuso" on them? XD;;; When I bought my Kuroneko-sama shirt, I made sure to open up my kanji dictionary and make sure that's what it said. But I recognized the kanji for neko. =3
wow, I thought you had gotten a scene from a movie tattooed across your back or something with the way you said your fiance was on about them. :) I like them :) Congratulations.
My Hamster, Thor (the mighty) is actually named after The Norse god Thor. :)
He's rilly cute. :) If I lived in NY, I would so adopt a hamster from you. I think it's awesome what you're doing. I've adopted hamsters from "freecycle" before when people put them up.
It actually was the least painful of all 4 of them. I'd compare the pain to someone poking you fairly hard with a fingernail. I only made a face once or twice with my stars.
The violet is a tattoo my mom and I share. It's my favourite flower and she drew it. The stars are to remind me to follow my heart and be true to myself (kind of like having the North Star on my all the time) and also as a nod to my heritage (family is full of ship's captains). The kanji was spur of the moment, but my mom and my stepson are year of the dragon, and dragons are one of my favourite mythical beasts.

Why did you pick what you picked?

I also recognized that kanji for dragon when I picked it out, only because it kind of looks like a dragon (at least to me).
