Today, I got my first tattoo! I had a slightly wobbly start, getting very light-headed, but after some Lucozade and Starbursts we were good to go again. After a half hour or so, my inking was complete…
If you’re curious about the story, read on…
The text is Gaelic for ‘the Wild Goose’, which is what the ancient Celts used to call the Holy Spirit. Why? They thought that following God was like chasing a wild goose: it was wild, unpredictable, and you never had any idea where it was going to go next. For me, the tattoo reminds me of my roots in Ireland & Scotland, but of the crazy journey this God of mine is taking me on… it is truly a wild goose chase!
Your shout: Have you got any inkings? If so, what and why?
I LOVE!
very cool. i love the lettering as well
AH! That is awesome, Emma! I hope that you sent that pic to Pastor Mark of NCC!! He will be thrilled! Love it.
Thanks guys! Also, Rose – I emailed a link across to Mark, hope he got a kick out of it!
love it! i have also considered getting a “wildgoose” tattoo to symbolize the holy spirit. i linked this URL onto pinterest.com to explain the inspiration…hope that’s ok! 🙂
Whilst searching for An Geadh Glas I saw your tattoo pop up on Pinterest. My company logo is the goose. As you will see the company is kayaking and our kayaks are all having Celtic names. This will be the name of one of them.
I have a personal reason for choosing the goose and wanted a Scottish connection. Finding the Celtic link and meaning was perfect.
Anytime you want to take a trip, it will be on the house.
All the best
