Sunflowers...

[badstar]

I still haven't found a definite image to use for my sunflower tattoo.

A bit of inspiration has come in the form of some spammish email, if you can believe that though.

I just got a promotional email from a site I had completely forgotten about, the same one from where I took the photo that was used to create my tree tattoo.

Clicking around, I saw a few images and had a thought....I have been looking for an image that shows the face of the flower full-on. But maybe what I really want is one that's turning away....

I'm liking this one

that pictue is really cool!

I am curious why a sunflower? I have a friend with a sunflower tattoo but she is a committeed Spiritualist, I guess the sunflower is a symbol for some spiritualist traditions.

For Alex, my best friend, who died when we were 18. Being friends with her was like being friends with a shorter version of myself. it was almost scary at times, we liked the same things, had the same opinions...it was something of a monumental moment when we disagreed on something. People couldn't figure out how we ever talked to each other because we would carry on conversations with both of us talking nonstop the whole time. We used to be unable to reach each other on the phone for hours at a time because every time one would pick the phone up to dial, the other would be doing the same. It was a bit maddening. We were constantly getting hit with the same ideas at the same time, and would start talking about it...at the same time. One such idea being that each of us decided that we wanted a sunflower tattoo someday....I've had a few tattoos done now, but still want to get the sunflower.

Ironically enough, one of the few things we didn't have in common was that she always wanted a nose piercing and I never did. I got mine pierced a couple of weeks ago, though when I finally decided that i wanted to, it had nothing to do with her that I recall.
