As mentioned, it is on the back right shoulder. When it is light and we do not have to use the flash, I will get a better one. Also, when it heals and I take off some of the "ape hair", I will show how it looks with my whole back and the other tat.

Oh, now I'll have to get another one.
looks good! and painful. ouch.
I'm such a wimp that I could never do it.
DP:
Good Job !
Cindy:
There were spots that were more tender and the pain was a little hurtful. But after 2 hours, the pain became common ;)
Nator:
When I am in Nashville in November, I will drag you to get you one ;)
Recap on Meaning:
This diagram consists of four nodes (generally circular in shape) interconnected by six links. The three nodes at the edge of the diagram are labelled with the names of the three persons of the Trinity (traditionally the Latin-language names, or scribal abbreviations thereof): The Father ("PATER"), The Son ("FILIUS"), and The Holy Spirit ("SPIRITUS SANCTUS"). The node in the center of the diagram (within the triangle formed by the other three nodes) is labelled God (Latin "DEUS"), while the three links connecting the center node with the outer nodes are labelled "is" (Latin "EST"), and the three links connecting the outer nodes to each other are labelled "is not" (Latin "NON EST").
DEUS IS THE MIDDLE
So the following twelve propositions can be read off the diagram:
"The Father is God"
"The Son is God"
"The Holy Spirit is God"
"God is the Father"
"God is the Son"
"God is the Holy Spirit"
"The Father is not the Son"
"The Son is not the Father"
"The Father is not the Holy Spirit"
"The Holy Spirit is not the Father"
"The Son is not the Holy Spirit"
"The Holy Spirit is not the Son"
The precise origin of this diagram is unknown, but it was evidently influenced by 12th-century experiments in symbolizing the Trinity in abstract visual form, mainly by Petrus Alfonsi's Tetragrammaton-Trinity diagram of ca. 1109
So what does it mean?
I just got one of mine touched up yesterday and my artist is working on my new one. Yay! And I'll tell you...I decided yesterday after the touch up that I won't ever get inked on the inside of my forearms again...that is freakin' painful. Way more than the shoulder or upper arm.
OK I'm really not that stupid...you cross-commented on me...
Erin:
It does kinda look funny that you comment: so what does it mean after my comment on what it means :)
i try to stay away from painful places ...
I want to be there when you drag Nator to the tattooist.
I'll hold your coat.
It's an interesting explanation, for sure. None of mine have that kind of history behind them.
Erin:
It comes from the Anthanasian Creed:

For me, I like symbolistic tats with meanings, but that is me ...
DP:
If you cannot be there, I will video tape it, the 3rd week of November; Nator gets tattooed
Oh, we have decided this? I don't have a say in this part of my life? How very Calvanistic of you!
Nator:
Yup, it has been decided. We will have a NYWC tattoo day.
Maybe, we will live blog the event.
No, it has been decided by those who know best. Just give in and Uncle Jeff will choose something tasteful for you.
What shall it be, guys?
I quite fancy identical celtic designs on the back of each calf.
Yes please, do video it for those who can't make the party.
DP:
I like Nator and all BUT identical tats ?
This is getting crazy.
Nator:
We love crazy, now craziness would be to get both of our wives to come and get tats as well
Don't tempt her!
Where is she lurking at ??
*whispers*
tat, tat, tat
No, that would be wrong on so many levels. Like spouses wearing identical pullovers.
Tacky!
Pretty sweet-looking. Now I feel like a slacker for still pondering my next one.
CoffeePastor:
Thanks, I was trying to wait for you so that we could go together.
Don't feel like a slacker, it is an important decision.
