If you were going to get a STJ tattoo....

I actually have a half sleeve on my right arm. It was my first and is basically a depiction of "paradise". I have green mountain peaks in the background, a palm tree w/ coconut, a bright blue wave and some sand with a hula girl doin a little dance. My plan is to finish it down to the wrist with an underwater scene that was inspired by my honeymoon in St. John. I have a nautical star inside my forearm and i want a sea turtle swimming towards that. I will throw in an octopus and some other local fish to be decided. Just need to finish the one i started on my side and then i will move on to the St. John piece. Cant wait!

I wonder if you did the smiley face skull and crossbones like the Beach Bar if you could manage to get free drinks

Something tasteful, I'm sure...

I have a seahorse on my right ankle that I just love and a small shark on my inside ankle.

I have a friend in STT that does tattoos and he's really really good. He's coming back to the states in November, so I'm just going to make a bracelet of different sea creatures around my ankle. All small.

or, maybe a toe ring hook bracelet

or: a small urchin

or: A Bottle of Carib and/or a bottle of Cruzan Rum

Personally, I'd get a tattoo of a donkey. Maybe a donkey lazing under a palm tree.

Or bannaquits perched on the side a a sugar bowl with trumpet vine entwined all around.

Fun!

I hate to sound dumb...but what is a petroglyph? I've had two tattoo's done in STT right in Havensight; the latest one was a hybiscus done in the upper middle of my back by a guy named "Donut". I am very please with it. It seems as though the only time I can get the courage to up get one is while I am in STT. Go figure...

I have a good friend that is an extremely talented tattoo artist, so I just have to show him a pic and he will create me a work of art, that I am sure of.

I guess I need to send him some pics and see what he comes up with.

When she turns 40, the Mrs plans to get a tattoo...or 3 if you ask her. A gecko, a turtle and a petroglyph.

I intend to jump in and get a petroglyph but don't know where. Unless we wait a few years and put it on my skull, there's not much of me that's not gonna make it look like a petroglyph mated with Chewbacca.

Congrats on your weight loss that is fantastic. You surely deserve to treat yourself for your accomplishment. I have always wanted a tattoo but keep chickening out. When I finally get up the nerve I know mine will also be a reminder of STJ. I have thought of the petroglyph, but the hook bracelet idea also sounds kinda cool. I think the suggestion for the numbing cream sounds great. That might be just what I need since they say you are not supposed to drink prior. Best of luck and congrats again.

Iprof, thanks for the link to my petroglyph tatt!

If you only go to STT and not STJ, that's probably why you haven't heard of them

STJ petroglyphs:



Perhaps you've seen STJ petroglyph jewelry before?:




Caneel Bay also uses the STJ petroglyph for its logo:

Teresa_Rae...thank you very much! For a long time I have wondered what that was and didn't want to ask and now I know. I do visit STJ but I just prefer STT and it seems like I am pretty much alone on that subject on this forum but I still enjoy reading what everyone has to say. Many thanks...

I said I was going to get a tatoo once I hit our one year anniversary of being on island. But I can't think of what I want or where. I also was thinking about a petroglyph, something small without a whole lot of detail. I definitely like the idea of the numbing cream so I will check that out.

Let us know what you decide and good luck!

Steve I thought we agreed not to show that photo of my ass on the Forum...
