The california poppies represent the 3 stages of life, the bud is childhood, the opening one adolescence and the open one is adulthood.

the meaning behind it is what matters It represents home(california poppies), my passion(music), and my philosophy(peace), as well as correcting the image of the peace sign to its proper position which is inverted(Gerald Holtom regreted not inverting the peace sign when he created it in 1958), as well as meaning music is life(the inverted peace sign also represents yaag drasil the norse tree of life).
plus the rune symbol for yaag drasil is a very powerful protection rune.
so whether or not it looks girly, It has a lot more meaning to it than if i had gone and done something lame like pick something off a tattoo shops wall.

Is this in any relation to Yggdrasill? Yggdrasill is supposedly the name for the horse of Odin but in the form of a tree. I've been interested with this for some time and its funny that you brought it up. Any idea on where you can find free information about this thats not wikipedia?
Also, I dig the tat

yeah, i could have gone to a better artist. He did a good job on my friends tat and gave me a discount so i let him. Some of the scab is coming off and the color looks ok, but i did think the same thing myself.

yea if you get a bigger one id shop around a bit. tattoo's are one thing you don't really want to skimp on. nothing worse than getting the same tat twice. very original none the less and that's cool.

i never understood tattoos 
here let me pay some fat guy or skanky whore to cut up my arm and give me something that i'll probably completely resent in 5-10 years.
if it means so much to you write it on a sticky pad and put it on the refridgerator
just my opinion

I think it will be fine when it heals, and if not i can get a touch up. Im not worried.

Nice ink and back story behind it. Yeah it will look better when it heals. I had some stars I got on my arms where the elbows meet inside of the arm.
Guy was super heavy handed and looked very scabby for almost 2 months. 6 years on the yellow still pops pretty nicely.
Ive been wanting some ink but I haven't found the right person yet for my back piece or side.
Lack of funds doesn't help.
I have got a bunch of ink from me being underage to. So much to cover up.
-------------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

always have to go with the gut feeling on ink. looks good, although as mentioned by others i always have a rough time really appreciating until it heals. have plans for some poppy's in a piece myself

haha, after the scabs started coming off i noticed how bad this thing was, now i like the design but its going to cost me about a hundred plus bucks to be fixed by someone else when i get back to the bay. So far its only been a bit of shading and some stem thats shown i hope the flowers are ok, But the whole tat needs work i assume.
