I like the idea of getting a tattoo to signify a time of personal growth. You feel the marks a space of time has left on your spirit, so seems to me a great chance to display this on the surface, too. A tattoo needs a story behind it - something concrete to tell people when they ask. I hate it when I ask a person 'Why the butterfly..?' and they reply - ' Well, it was a pretty design I saw on the wall, I was looking for one just like it, and there it was...'
At which point her equally vacous friend chimes in, 'Isn't it beautiful? I want to get one too...'
Doesn't it give you the shits...?
I'm getting behind the idea of getting a new one everytime I move, restless spirit that I am.
Sydney is... Sydney is music, falling in love with it, criticising it, making it, dreaming about it...
I'm thinking musical notes.
I have a phoenix, from my Hamilton sland experience (It's in the Whitsunday Islands, off the Great Barrier Reef - glorious. I practised massage there.). It's very simple, yet effective. And no, there is no way I will post it up here, as it will pale in comparison to the gorgeous artwork apparent on the lovely ladies you see before you.

I spent years thinking I didn't want tattoos, because i couldn't think of anything that i wanted to have on me forever, and I thought they should make an important life step.
Now I have two that i want, one for when I finish my current project (phd thesis) and one for when I embark on my next project (top sekrit). And I CAN'T WAIT to get these tattoos, but I have to do lots more work between now and then.
Neither or them will be butterflies.
Thanks for the friend addy. It's always awesome to meet more Aussies!!!
Keep rocking!!!
