Shameless Plug for my New Blog

I'm something of a tattoo enthusiast and I've spent many a happy hour cruising through tattoo galleries. But I've always had a hard time finding pagan-specific tattoos. It seems odd to me that tattoos are wildly popular within pagan culture but noone seems to have created a place dedicated to them. So, I've just started a new blog, called NeoPagan Ink, the aim of which is to showcase pagan tattoo art. If you have pagan tattoos or you're a pagan with tattoos I'd love to see your ink. So please cruise on over to NeoPagan Ink and submit your ink!

My New Ink


Here's my new tattoo! My zodiac sign is Cancer the Crab and I have an affinity for spirals of all kinds and find spiral shaped shells especially fascinating. This is the third of my elementals tattoos. I've got a small butterfly for air, a small four-leaf clover for earth (and luck) and now the shell and crab for water, my most important element. I haven't decided on my tattoo for fire, it might be a salamander. Anyway, I'm loving it and showing it off! It took about an hour and a half to complete, with one 5 minute break. Strangely enough most of the time I was biting my fist not to fight the pain but to keep from wiggling and giggling. It was tickling like crazy and I had a helluva time holding still. But it was worth the agony and discomfort and I love it. Can't wait to get more ink!
