This summer, on vacation to see my mom and brothers, I was checking out my brother's tattoos and asked him who did them. He looked at me like a kid in a candy store when I said I was considering getting one. (My first, and until then, my last, I had gotten ten years ago lol) He was on the phone in a flash to his artist, who normally takes appointments a month in advance. He got me in the next day! I was so psyched, and so was my big brother, who was dying to see his baby sister get inked. So long story short, the design I settled on was very similar to the necklace my husband gave me for my last birthday, a floral pentagram. The necklace is wreathed in tiny, intricate flowers, but for the tattoo, we decided on thorns, and a fairly open design that will allow for additions if I decide to expand it.
Thanks to Amy for sharing her art!

Such a beautiful tattoo!!
Isn't it gorgeous? I think part of the reason I like it is that it's an obvious pentagram to a pagan/witch but to a muggle who might be anti-witch it might just look like a floral design. It's a neat way to express one's faith without inviting attack.
:D Thanks Mrs B and Livia! That was the reason that I fell so in love with the design. My husband's family (and most of mine) are xians and I can wear both my necklace and my tattoo without anyone but those "in the know" giving it a second thought. Actually the only person in my family who figured it out was the brother who got it for me, and then my being a witch came out to him and his wife, both of whom are completely supportive ;)
The rest of my family just think it's a flower.
It's a shame the rest of your family aren't accepting but still, very cool tattoo.
