Still love my tattoo - just not the project !


This little critter is a cricket. DUH !
Actually he is "crickee" from the animated feature film "MULAN"
I originally got him to show my dedication to my job. Even made sure that I had him for launch day of the project.
Now that I have left that company he is just another cute tattoo.
Funny how life works.
Those who don't work hard get the furthest and those who work with dedication get blamed for everything that goes wrong.
Makes me thing of a great saying:
Be careful what you wish for,
You just might get it !
You will find that having is not always so great as wanting.

Another Tattoo - Chinese Dragon

So here is another tattoo.
This one is on my right side and extends to the top of my thigh. Spent a total of 14 hours getting this one. First "sitting" was just the outline. If you look closely you can see little skulls in there. Second "sitting" was the red to give him life. This is a Chinese dragon.
Whats the difference between a Japanese dragon and a Chinese dragon? Wings! Chinese dragons don't have them.
First question everyone asks about tattoos:
Did it hurt?
I always have to answer with a "NO!"
I have 29 tattoos so far and none of them have hurt when getting them.
To be truthful the most annoying part about getting a tattoo is the healing process. They itch and you can't scratch. If you scratch the ink comes out in the scabs and that just isn't good.

Meeting the Animal !


Got to meet Animal to day.
Animal from the wrestling tag team of the Road Warriors and also father to #33 of the Ohio State Buckeyes was at the Lewis Center Wal*Mart today and I was there ti meet him.
Got my picture signed and also took pictures of Me with Animal.
Been watching him wrestling for a long time.
He was really nice and was visibly a proud father of James, #33.

G Money Dunny !


This is one of the Dunny Series 4 that I got from RIVET.
I have named him:
G Money Dunny !

I recently found RIVET while going to Magnolia ThunderPussy, a local record store here in Columbus, Ohio.
RIVET is an art gallery / obscure toy store that sells artwork and these really cool imported toys. Most are what is called "Blind Box" which means that you don't know which one you are getting until you open the box. Sometimes it's frustrating but most of the time I can't wait until I get home to open the box.
I have had pretty good luck as I haven't gotten any doubles yet. I have gotten a few that I consider "ugly". But will be attending the Trading Party in November to see if anyone got the ones that I really want.
It's a fun hobby and you will see pictures of a lot of them here on my blog.

First Post, Introduction, Stuff



Hello, I am Raven and I am starting a blog because I had a couple of people tell me that I am interesting and do interesting stuff, so I should share.
I collect stuff.
I love animals.
I have tattoos.
I have a VERY high tolerance for pain and have been suspended by 4 8 gauge hooks in my back.
I have been Wiccan for a long while.
I am also Buddhist.

I hope to keep this blog interesting so that people will come back just to see what this crazy Buddhist Witch has posted today. I am not sure how many times a week I will post stuff but being unpredictable is part of who I am, deal with it.
