I can't believe I did it but I gave myself a Christmas gift ... six of our brood of bitter friends decided to kakau (tattoo, as most of you know it, from the bastardization of the word over the centuries
) our 'symbol of bitterness' on our persons. 3 of us got it yesterday, 3 more will get it next week. Here it is, 3 sharks teeth (in Hawaiian symbology, there should be an odd number of that item but not 1) in a kind of 'triquetra-esque' fashion. I still can't believe I did it - the tat artist (a friend of one of the 6) was like "this is your first? And you're doing your wrist??? COOL! LOL .. I didn't flinch or squeel or anything (for us, in tattooing - as in childbirth - showing displeasure of any kind is shameful) and though it hurt more than I thought it would, it didn't last long and I was able to watch him work and that was cool as hell! We all got it in our wrists - more symbolism. Anyway, here it is ...*I still can't believe I did it*
