Smurf killer? Um... Yeah sure.  But Yes there was a definite difference between them when I meditated. there were distractions but  all in all it was a soulful experience within my own being.

Nice tattoo BobbyT, I've been thinking of getting a tattoo for a couple years now and I already have an idea of what I want and where I want it, but just the thought of it being permanent holds me back.
I did hear there's a new kind of ink comming out around this July, that is a bit brighter  and will completely remove with laser, as opposed to the regular ink, which on some people still leaves a sort of shadow of the tattoo.

But don't quote me on that, like I said I don't have a tattoo, and I don't know how good this new ink will be.

As for piercings, I have six, three in each ear.  Four of them in the ear lobes  and the other two in upper cartilage of the ear. 
I also had a nose, lip and brow piercing, which I had to let close for job reasons.

Thanks Vicereine. And I think you are going about it the smartest way. Do your research and be absolutely sure you can live with it forever.

Shalwi I have runes in my other tattoo. It is hard to get it all in a photo due to how it wraps on my arm. But I will give it try soon and post the results. Would love to see yours if you have any photos. I love ankhs. And the raven design sounds very cool.

I met a guy down in Gatlinburg Tennessee, an actual local, who had a fantastic piece on his arm of Mjollnir on his arm. And he saw the runes on the piece on my arm. It started an immediate conversation.

You are correct about taking your time to pick your runes. The four I chose have deep meaning in my life and I wanted to use them in divination as well.

Well I thought I wouldn't be posting on here, until another couple months, but I finally got the tattoo, I wanted and I wanted to share.
Its below my center back, the pic is a little blurry and crooked thanks to the picture taker, but I'll try to post a better one, once the tattoo is completely healed.
