Ink #8: Family
Design: Five Shooting Stars from bra-line to panty-line
Location: Right Ribcage
When: Summer ’08 – After Graduation
Pain Scale: Nine out of ten
Artist: Joey Drada
Story:
This piece is the largest piece on my body and I plan on expanding on it. There are five shooting stars and each one represents a member of my family. Each star has the initials of the person inside and I chose their colors as I see each of them.
Blue is for my Mom because she is always strong and true – like the sea and the sky.
Orange is for my Dad because he can always find a way to laugh at a situation, no matter how grim or upsetting it may be.
Pink is for me… because I like pink.
Purple is for the older of my two brothers because he had recently come out of the closet and this was my very small way of showing him I support him (I did a larger one later… you’ll see that next week).
Green is for my youngest brother because no matter how old he gets, he will always be that little snot of a twelve year old in my head.
When I have children, I plan on adding moons with their initials into the design.

I know those are for your family, but its hot!
That's cute! I've been playing with ideas for other star tatoos. So far the only tatoo I have is stars on my foot...
Nice tat.
Move your hand up a little, I think your blocking that top star.
hehe
@JP Knowing my family, they wouldn't want it any other way. You really know how to make a girl blush, JP!
@carissajaded I love stars! Three of my tattoos have stars in them.
@Ed Haha! I had quite a time trying to take this one without exposing anything...
LOVE this! i should get 5 green stars for my snotty ass younger siblings. :p
@GingerMandy Holy crap! Five?! You are a far stronger woman than I...
My last ink was on the side of my rib cage. I would give that an 11 out of 10 on the pain scale. I knew it was going to hurt more than my others but after about three hours I couldn't believe how much it hurt. The artist was basically just inking over a solid bruise at that point.
