I started getting tattoos around the age of 22. Sometimes due to the desire to have body art, some through tattoo therapy, and mostly because I thought "Why Not?"My goal still is to cover 30 % of my body with the ink, only rules I have are:
1.) Nothing above the collar bone
2. No names or identifiable faces
Here are the list describing every tattoo, where they are located, and why. Enjoy! (Yes I made a spreadsheet)
Tattoo | Body Location | Reason |
Zebra Inspired Tiger Stripes (1st tattoo) | Entire left arm | I initially wanted to zebra stripes but the lady who did it added spikes for the stencil so I kept it. Growing up didn't know if I was a black with white stripes or vice versa. Only tattoo I wanted through college |
Seagulls | Right forearm | From one of my favorite tales Jonathan Livingston Seagull , reminder to always keep working on love |
Japanese Clouds | Right elbow | I thought they complimented the seagulls and the trees on my right forearm |
Red Cardinal Perched on A Peach* | Right rib cage | An ode to the two states I grew up in as a child (Virginia = Red Cardinal, Georgia = Peach), not knowing if I would return back to them again after I had moved to Denver in 2017 |
Triangle Series Yoga Poses | Left back | My favorite series that I learned with my time getting my 200 hour yoga license. It helped me feel confident and long in my stature |
Unicorn* | Left upper outer calf | Cheap tattoo from a random street festival. My only drunk tattoo |
Rainbow Shaped 'J' | Upper left back | Rainbows make me happy ! |
Christmas Lights (Last Tattoo) | Right side of spine, along back | Very well known that I view Christmas Day as a high effort, low reward holiday. But Christmas lights have always made me calm and appreciate any setting or surrounding, |
Silhouette of a Black Woman | Left side of back | Black women are dope. That is all. |
Basic Bundle of Star Doodles | Left upper inner calf | I made this tattoo every time I made a NBA 2k character since 2010. In a way, I grew into the player I always created playing Xbox |
Akindra Symbols from Black Panther | Back of calf | 3 symbols that represent love, peace, and family. I don't recall the actual meaning but I can totz find the link |
Artemis Wings* | Lower left outer calf | Sometimes I feel like I have Artemis wings in my legs when I am running, and that's a fo' sho' right on |
Wings | Right shoulder | From one of my favorite players Andre Iguodala. Unfortunately didn't turn out as detailed as his |
Moana Tribal Sun | Left man boobie | I actually did not know it was the sun from that film, I just thought it looked cool. |
Darcy's Law | Right man boobie | The equation for how water flows through a porous medium that ruled my life to help me get my science degree. Kind of a joke tattoo for my Hydrology professor |
Jaguar Shark from The Life Aquatic | Upper right back | That whole movie is a masterpiece and I wanted to get at least one thing from it |
3 Apples* | Left rib cage | Apple a day keeps the doctor a way was what my momma' told me. Still going strong from this ideal |
Black Spruce Trees | Right forearm | From my time in Alaska, it always learned back and forth and it was so flimsy. But it never fell. |
Carrot | Front right calf | I am the only in my immediate family that does not have to wear classes. Coincidence? |
Cornbread | Front lower thigh | My entire life. Do ya' have to ask? |
