Mine:
All week we looked for an artist who would do it for less than 100 TL. Tattoos are quite expensive here. As luck would have it, a Turkish friend of mine knows an artist. He came to my house and Maz, Deb and I were tattooed while sitting on my couch. Deb has the outline of an Ottoman tulip on her foot. I have a back piece planned with Ottoman tulips, but it will most likely have to wait until I get back to the U.S.
Another tattoo I have planned is a pomegranate tattoo on my leg. It will be from hip to knee, hopefully, and include a branch of the tree, a flower, and an open fruit. This is in honor of what I believe is my new name - Anar. The Turkish word is "nar" and the Hindi word is "anar". I love the symbolism of the pomegranate (as well as the taste - yum!) and I am fascinated with most things Indian, so Anar it is.
Thoughts?

Very nice! I love the meaning behind the tat and love the new name. I've taken on "Bjorn Charlesson" as my name. It means "Bear, Son of Charles". Fitting, eh?
Can't wait to see the back piece!
Great tat! Is Persephone, Goddess of the pomegranate, especially significant to you?
Lovely! Simple & Pretty. ^-^ I'm excited to see your future tattoos! And yay for finding a new name, and such a beautiful one at that. ^-^ Hope you have a wonderful week!
