Tattoo Advice, Please!!

Wow. That's huge. Sorry.

How about your favorite flower on the "map" where SA is?

Thats really cool. idk how to make it your own....you could put something in the background...or turn the flag so its horizontal....ive never been too creative but i like the idea!

That's actually an awesome idea. My other idea is to have a banner wrap around the continent that says 'An African Soul.' That phrase is really important to me because for a long time I felt unsure about my heritage, kind of like a fraud. I had to go to speech classes so I no longer have my accent, and I'm white. I felt weird. When I visited home last, I met a guy about my age who, after talking to me for hours, told me that I had an African Soul. It sounds so weird now, but it meant (and still does) so much to me.

You could always add the springbok in there if you follow rugby. Talk to the tattoo artist they have great ideas they could use shading to make it look more 3d like its rising up out of your skin

Aussie, you know me too well. I'm a HUGE springbok fan! Lol.

You could do both, but that kind of rides on how big you want it lol. But I think it'd be balanced if you put the flower on SA and the banner across the Mali/Algeria region up yonder, like wrap it around. The flag is important because it's SA, but the design not so much, if I'm reading what you're getting at right, right?

I have one tattoo and it's the union jack (my flag) only tattoo that means enough to me to have on my body - never regretted it its on my lower back

Lol what can I say EVERY south african I met is and its always fun having south afican friends when the rugby is on so funny how while the game is on the friendship is over lmao

Aussie: Haha I'm not that bad, but I've grown up both watching and playing it, and I do love it.

Funny story, Aussie, before I get this, I'm getting the black outline of the SA Springbok on my foot lol.

Lol love it. I got the southern cross to remind me of Aus at all times.

I see we're somewhat in the same boat where did you get the Southern Cross?

On my wrist so i see it all the time. got it done in green and gold for the aussie colours.

That sounds awesome! I really want one on the inside of my left wrist, but I am studying to be a teacher - not a good idea lol. Maybe after I have a job.

This will be my springbok tattoo. Just like this I can't wait!

I like it. mine is on the inside of my left wrist most people dont notice it all that much plus i can always cover it with wide bracelets for interviews

Just something I messed around with

Wow. Jenni, that's amazing. I love it!

Thats gorgeous jenni
