Tattoos

[ChiKat]

Does anyone have any tattoos? I would love to see pictures! (and hear stories behind them!)

I am hopefully going to get my first one within the next few weeks. I need to contact a tattoo artist in Chicago first to ask her to design it!

A friend of mine drew this up. This has a biblical reference (Luke 16:19)

Another biblical reference

My hubby wears a button down and tie to work. He also wears glasses. So at first you might think he is kind of geeky. Unless you see him on the weekend... He is completely sleeved. He has all black and grey work and portraitrature on one arm and all color on the other. He has amazing and very thought out tattoos. I on the other hand have 6 tattoos that got as a teenager that I absolutely hate!!!

Jackrat, Beautiful!!!

Yes but, Erin, show em!!!!
(please)

I have my Dads old race car number on my back along with his date of birth and death. The fun thing is now my son uses the number for baseball and I have had people think I tattooed a kids baseball number on my back. I told my kids if they make pro I will get tatts of their numbers LOL they are are still young enogh to have that dream
I like the inital on the finger. Very cool

What tat do you want and why and where? I love the stories as well, fun post!

 

[ChiKat]

Love the pics and stories, keep them coming
I would love to see pictures of your tats Erin, as well as your husband's sleeves! His sound really cool.
I love sleeves...my hot geology TA in college had a half sleeve, drool

What tat do you want and why and where? I love the stories as well, fun post!

I'm planning on a shooting star tattoo (probably like 3 inches) on my side/rib cage.
It's for my dad, who passed away 5 years ago. He loved astronomy and when I was little we always looked at the stars together and looked for constellations and shooting stars
I contacted a tattoo artist today so I'm just waiting for her to respond to my email!

I have a stylized William Morris tulip down the nape of my neck.

Here are mine

the one gecko that can never leave me, complete with chahoua tail curl!

my other arm

This is on my right arm too, its my LOTR arm now lol

a few inches below the ring inscription I have a solid blue band about 3/4" thick and two line work bands below that. I'll get pics of that one soon enough
-----oh well, I 'spose I can show you all my ghetto mirror pic (somehow I've managed to lose a full size tripod, go figure )

I've been spending my money on tattoos this winter since the shipping windows are closed up here in the tundra (WI) I've gotten every single tattoo but the Tolkien symbol in the last 8 wks. Planning on more appointments soon! I'm doing more blue bands down to my elbow, and I'm getting a transmutation circle on my back. (something like this one: http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs20/i/2009/141/a/6/Transmutation_Circle_by_goukai.png)

I love my tattoos, not one have I regretted even once I can say that the blue band around my arm hurt the worst. The skin on your inner bicep is not touched often by anything, and is very tender I found!

I would want this as a tattoo

 

[Angi]

ChiKat I love that you are getting something in memory of your dad too. Marty I like the tatt you want,but it brings back memories of my mom threating to make me move in with my Dad and stepmonster if I got a tatt when I was 14. LOL I am glad now that I didn't because it would have been done by one of the neighbor hood gangters not a pro.

 

[Marty333]

I dont think Im going to get a tattoo. I just hate how its permanent.

 

[ChiKat]

I dont think Im going to get a tattoo. I just hate how its permanent.

Well yeah, you definitely wouldn't want to get a tattoo of something you don't want permanently
I'm glad that it's permanent. I'll have a memory of my dad with me always.
I wish I worked in a profession where I could have visible tattoos! It really limits where I can get them. I have wanted a wrist tattoo forever!

 

[Angi]

ChiKat~ You are wise to make sure it is something you will always want. I want my kids birth flowers next, but I also want botox and lip filler. It all cost too much.

Marty~ I waited until I was 40 to get a tatt, because I was told "you will regret it when you get old" When I turned 40 I though well now I am old so what the #%!!. No regets for me now, but I want more. I don't think anyone under 25 should get a tatt. That is just my oppinion.

 

[coreyc]

there is also tattoo laser removal but that hurts more than a tat an costs a ton

 

[Angi]

There is lots of laser stuff I want that is expensive. Facials, hair removal and more. I need lots of money!

 

[Marty333]

Dont get botox or lip fillers!!! Natural stuff is the way to go also people with lip fillers look like they have giant fish lips IMO!
