I got my latest tattoo done two nights ago. I’m at tattoo number 4 (and counting). It’s on the back of my right shoulder, and it’s the Latin phrase Alis Volat Propriis. I formerly wanted the Greek translation of “Everything that I do is all in the name of having a full and interesting life.” But I figured that, since I had a butterfly on the left side, and I would have a lower back tattoo of the winged Isis, a better choice would be an empowering Latin phrase about flight and independence. Read Obsession if you want to know which body part I originally wanted to have Alis Volat Propriis written on.
It’s a phrase that will be on my body until my body disintegrates and becomes dust again. I had better live up to the description then. That means that no matter what happens in my life, no matter what my future will be, I will always fly with my own wings. I will neither use nor borrow somebody else’s wings, and I will never be just somebody else’s shadow.
I have an obligation to soar. And I will fly high.

My soul sister Belle has a BRILLIANT idea for a tattoo near my nether regions. She says I should put a warning that says NO ID, NO ENTRY! ![]()
Don’t think for a minute that I’m not considering the idea. I am an extremely naughty imp, so I might just do that. With me, you never can tell what’s gonna happen next. Even I can never tell what I’m gonna do next. Seriously!

Hello very nice tattoos
I like Tattoos are, they are a great self- expression and a beautiful form of art.
I’m also intending to do a tatoo on the back of my left shoulder, but I fear having pains after that or just get bored with it after few monthes.
keep up the good job
Hi! If you want to get a tattoo, go for it. I didn’t feel any pain when I had my tats done on the back of my shoulders. I guess there aren’t a lot of pain receptors in those parts. You will feel pain if you get one on your lower back or on your abdominal region. But the pain will only be felt during the procedure. When the needles aren’t touching your skin, nothing will hurt. I can only speak for myself, of course. That was how it was for me.
I reiterate – go for it! And tell me when you do. Either leave a comment here or send me an email with the pic of the tat so I can check it out. Good luck and thank you!
