Birthstone Meanings

diamond tattoo?

i have a couple questions about diamond tattoos..... do you have any? what do they mean to you? why did you get it? (kind of redundent i guess) where is it on your body? what color is it? and do specific colors have different meanings. the meaning i found online is that a diamond symbolizes immunity, destruction, and ever lasting life in past, present and the future. i would like to get it because i feel like over the years i've let people take advanage of me, and i feel like the diaomond represents me now that i'm immune from negative people. its my birthstone as well. oh and i was thinking about getting it on the back of my neck, probably about the size of a nickle, or a little bigger. thanks!

1. I don't have a diamond tattoo (I have one that has pearls, though), but I adore that idea. I can't express how much I love the fact that you've put some serious thought into your tattoo meaning, and the theme is quite gorgeous as well. I wouldn't get it too small, though. If it's too small, it's going to blend in as it ages. A little bigger would be better. And make sure that you go to a great artist to get this amazing piece of work done! Good luck and have fun!
2. i dont have one but it sounds like the perfect tat for you as you have put alot of thot into it and it has meaning so i say go for it! but dont get it too small, you want it to be big enuf to have good color and detail to really 'shine'!
3. I think that sounds like a really cool idea. It's awesome that you have put so much effort in to coming up with something that is so personal to you. Everytime you look at it it will remind you to continue to be strong and have faith in yourself!! I would get it bigger than a nickle though. If you insist on having it small something like that might look cute behind your ear. I have a diamond as part of my half sleeve. I got it because it is my brother's birthstone and my arm is dedicated to my family. Just FYI- It was a little difficult to get the diamond to stand out as they are a colorless stone so my artisit put just a tiny bit of really light blue through it. It looks great!
