[KerriMarie]

I have one... and I looooooooooove it.

It's a Celtic shooting star, sorta low on my right hip. I got it almost 2 years ago, and most of my friends still don't know about it - and my dad will NEVER find out (he'll kill me... seriously, dead Kerri if he ever finds out) and my mom just found out like two weeks ago, and only because I was wearing stupid pants that didn't fit and I was twisted around funny in the car.

I had wanted a star tat since like seventh grade, and then in tenth grade I decided it would be a shooting star. A friend at camp the summer between sophomore and junior year of college asked if I wanted to go the Monday after camp when a bunch of people were getting tats - she was mostly joking when she asked me, since it's SO out of character for me to actually get one. But that night, I took a group of campers star-gazing, and we saw SIX shooting stars - it was a sign!

Anyways, I ended up going to the place where my best friend got her tat, and we had the same artist. My tattoo is a black outline, with blue fading into purple, the star is a little smaller than a quarter and then it has three lines shooting out from it. It's low enough on my hip that my bikini normally covers it, and my pants normally do unless I'm wearing pants that are too big for me.

I want another one, a fleur-de-lis low on my left hip, but I don't think I'll do it - I don't want it the way I had to have my star.
