Wow- you have just given me more to think about.  I have yet to 'tattoo' my experiences, but have been slowly collecting ideas.  I have been vehemently avoiding the Mdot as a personal preference but you have elegantly included it.  I will have to rethink my design now...

Cool!  What does the water and fire mean to you?

I'm hoping it has the desired effect - other triathletes will get it, people who are familiar with IM might spot it (I got some "did you really do an Ironman??!" questions from others getting tattoos) but I won't have tons of people asking what it means. They can just be like, "cool turtle!" And my tattoo guy ROCKS.

 

Yes he does!  What shop does your guy work out of?




Designs by Dana in Cincinnati (Northside). Mike did that one, but two other artists there have worked on me, another one has done ink for my husband, and I'd recommend any of them.

The water goes along with the sea turtle/triathlon theme, fire represents passion, plus I just like fire.

Nice work! I like how the M-Dot is a part of the turtle. My M-Dot is in the middle of a flower. I think it is pretty easy to spot, but I have had a lot of people (triathlete's specifically) not even see it. Ha!

At least you didn't get the usual m-dot/ free corporate advertising on your body tattoo. Nice ink.

That is such a cool tatoo... and I hate tatoos. I am doing Tortoise Triathlon Training. Started at 400 pounds this January, 360 now. goal of 260 by IMAZ on Nov 17. slow and steady finishes the race. Good luck to you.
