    I have five, getting my sixth next month. All but 2 are animals. I would love a good sized fish/aquarium/water/marine life piece one day.

    I have:
    Five birds on my back (I count them as one tattoo)
    One bird on my upper inner arm
    Sea turtle on my inner wrist
    Star on the left side of my chest near my collarbone
    Heart on my ankle
    Getting a giraffe on my leg next.

    I also have I think 18 piercings. I always lose count.

    I do not have any tattoos even though my boyfriend at one time was a tattoo artist but I do have one of those jacket sleeves of tattoos and I love to wear it and watch all the people talking about me and judging me. One day I overheard this man tell his friend "wait til she is 40, she will regret that" I took it as a complement because I was 56yrs old then. Another time I went to a beading class and none of the women would talk to me until they discovered it was a sleeve. Do you ever get the judgement thing or feel the invisible barbs coming from people?

    never seem to get openly judged for them ( Mario sleeve and comic book tattoos).. that said I have had kids say to thier parents "daddy why do you have a cool Mario picture on your arm to", back in my big green mo-hawk days it was alittle worse, more the hair than the tattoos

    Each represents something I am into.

    I also have a small shamrock colored as the Irish flag on the back of my neck.

    Currently designing a Beatles half-sleeve (need to be able to completely cover it for a professional setting) - taking mostly from "The Yellow Submarine"- I want a bright, colorful sleeve :)

    Its great motivation to lose weight and especially to work on my arms, since they are in NO shape for a tattoo at the moment

    Just got it completed last Tuesday (My first one) - more will definitely be following! :)

    For me - Yin Yang / Angel Demon sort of style. My life has pretty much been about different aspects of me ... good vs bad and it still continues! Trying to find a balance has been key for me but alas, I'm still nowhere near finding it! Does not mean I shall be giving up!

    I have 3, two that you cannot see in my photo and one you can kind of see.... One in Arabic on my upper inner right arm saying "follow your heart" and another Arabic one on my wrist that says "strength" and a scarab with Horus wings holding the sun with an ankh in the center of it on my left outer thigh... wanted to try and fit in the eye of Ra somehow but that didn't happen... when I get the Horus done on my upper right thigh it will have the eye of Ra put into the art somewhere.

    All my tattoos! My "Sunrise" tattoo is my favorite. It's the one my thigh and was a T-Shirt design for the Bully Project, inspired by one of my favorite bands, Our Last Night. I have the HIM heartagram and the Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey book cover designs as well. Not all of mine have meaning, but they were all thought out. No regrets and I love the way it feels!

    Slowly getting more and more. I've always loved tattoos and I told myself if I ever get in good enough shape, then my reward will be an awesome chest piece. So I started getting my chest worked on this year. Finally feeling self confident enough for one there. If I could upload better pic I would. Does anyone know how haha?
    Chest piece and throat are my dream tattoos. Whyyyyyy won't my work step into this century?!?
