Kerrie's Tattoos My obsession with tattoos began at an early age. By 14 I was drawing 'tattoos' on myself with paint pens. My father warned me that I better not ever get a real one . . . . obviously I don't listen very well. :) PLEASE READ!!! I recently found out from my tattoo artist Keir that a girl copied a picture of my moon-fairy tattoo from this site and brought it to him to have him tattoo it for her. While I'm flattered somebody liked my tattoo that much, this is STEALING! DO NOT copy/steal any of tattoo designs from my site or anyone else's site. No respectable tattoo artist will copy somebody else's tattoo and anyone who wants them to is lame. If you are so uncreative that you can't create your own tattoo design, then you shouldn't have a tattoo. Trust me, if you copy somebody else's tattoo, people WILL laugh and make fun of you. And yes, I know my "moon fairy" is based on an Amy Brown design. That's not stealing. Amy Brown specifically says at her website that people are allowed to use her designs for their own personal tattoos as long as you're not profiting from it in any way. So don't send me lame e-mails or sign the guestbook saying that I "stole" Amy Brown's design, because I didn't and you're full of shit. :)
	My First Tattoo ~ A Rose This was my first tattoo. It was 1991 and I was 16 & a Junior in high school when I got it. My oldest sister Kelly (24 at the time) got this same rose on her shoulder when I got mine done. It was her first tattoo, also. This tattoo was done originally by a tattoo artist named Rush. After many years it faded so I had it completely re-colored in March of 2001 by Brett-man at Gemini Tattoo.
My Second Tattoo ~ A Butterfly This butterfly was my second tattoo. I got it done at 17, shortly after graduating HS. This tattoo was originally done by John at Tiny's Tattoos, but I also had it completely re-colored by Brett-man at Gemini Tattoo when I had the rose tattoo re-colored.
	My Third Tattoo ~ A Fairy I got this fairy tattoo in 2000 when I was 25. This was my first custom tattoo. I gave the tattoo artist, Brett-Man, 2 different Mary Cicely Barker fairy pictures and he combined them into 1 picture for me. You can't tell by the picture, but it's placed at the base of my spine. This tattoo hurt like HELL! The picture doesn't do it justice ~ she looks much better in person. You can see pictures of additional fairy tattoos (not mine) by clicking on this link: Fairy Tattoos. If you like fairies, I highly suggest taking a look!
My Fourth & Fifth Tattoos ~ My Toes My toes were tattooed in May 2002 by Keir at Gemini Tattoo. The butterflies are on my right foot and the flowers are on my left foot.
	My Sixth Tattoo ~ A Fairy This tattoo is truly my masterpiece, and is located at the top of my back between my shoulderblades. I had the fairy (Amy Brown's "Winter Fairy") picked out for about 2 years, and gradually added the other components. This tattoo is a combination of 3 different pictures, and Keir at Gemini Tattoo did an incredible job bringing it all together for me. I couldn't be happier!
My Seventh Tattoo ~ Our Cats I basically wanted characitures of our 5 cats going around my left ankle. I wanted them colored like our cats, put not portrait-like. This tattoo was done by Keir at Gemini Tattoo in April 2003. You can see more pictures that show all the cats here.
	My Eighth Tattoo ~ A Memorial to My Sister My sister Kris passed away in July 2004 and got this tattoo in Sept to memorialize her. Like most of my others, it was also done by Keir at Gemini Tattoo in NE-Philly. You can see a better picture of the placement here.
