iluvsparkles

Hi all.. this is a thread idea that may have circulated before,, but im wondering if you guys have tattoos!
I myself and pretty much addicted, but cant afford anymore at present.
if we were able to post html comments I'd post pictures, but instead, lets just tell everyone how proud we are of our ink!
I have a treble clef/music inspired tattoo in the most cliche spot..lower back. I also have a honey bee flying out of my pants on my hip (classy i know) stars upon my ankles, and then my favorite is a henna inspired (reddish brown colored) trinity symbol sprawled across my sternum/ribs (ow!) My next tattoo plan is for something also bohemian in style across my collar bone somehow..not sure yet..too broke! How bout yall! i know you tat enthusiasts are out there...

I have two, waiting on more.

My first is a rose inspired by my first trip to Rome, where I got a rose henna tattoo in a plaza (how cool is that?) and my second is a crescent moon on my foot. Both are black art.

I have sleeves designed, but right now, we can't afford them. :frown:

cupcakes8kr

That was to be a goal reward for myself. A NEW TATOO I only have two right now. A cougar w/ a rose in his mouth on my shoulder & a martini glass on my ankle. Both were done with my daughter....when she got her's I got mine. My next one will be something viney,delicate on my left shoulder going down my arm. Something to look foward to. LOL

I got my first tatoo on my big toe when I was 16. Then I have a rose entwind with symbols for strength and happiness on my lower left back. I designed this to portray myself, my middle name is rose and I want to live my life with strength to get through anything and to find happiness in anything.I have one more that I've been wanting for years, but I won't get it untill I reach my goal weight.

I've got 3 - all black line art and shading.

My 1st and favorite - Lower Back - A Scorpion with hearts for her head and tail (I'm a scorpio and wanted her to be feminine) with her tail wrapped around a rose that has a tear drop falling from a petal. This is a memorial piece that I got after my husband died.

2nd - Right shoulder blade - A celtic braided circle.

3rd - Center back (bra strap line) - An emmett gargoyle with a leopard print background.

I'm itching to get another one with the twins as the theme but I can't decide what to get or where. I do know that I want this one to be in bright, vibrant color since that's what they've brought to my life.

kerrilucko

I only have 1, a four leaf clover on my left hip........ celebrating my irish heritage and bringing me good luck since 2002:drinker:

I am with you! I am a total addict! I currently have 8 and am planning on my 9th. My favorite is a tribal dragonfly on my upperback that has my brother's name written in Japanese as the body. He passed away as an infant, so it's a nice little tribute to him, w/o actually having a guys name written on me. I have a large purple "cloud" of music notes and stars that runs from my ankle to my knee on my right calf, which I also love. I got two while I was in Sturgis two years ago, a phoenix on my neck and some dragonflies on my foot. For my 9th, I am planning on getting a David Ho picture on my back (my default picture is a David Ho, and I love the series, called Candice the Ghost).

Sadly I work in the yuppie corporate world so I try to keep most of mine in places I can hide them when I need to. But I still love my ink and am always planning my next one!!!

I've got a wedding ring tattoo. I also have all my eyeliner tattoo'd on as well. I love it!

FUNinTHEsun

I could get a billion tattoos, but I'm TERRIFIED of getting any piercings. I would love to get my nose pierced, but I'm just really scared of the big needle. Isn't that stupid? :embarassed:

Weird, I am actually leaning towards going to get a new one today.

I have the two you can see in my profile. My left shoulder is covered with a big thick tribal knot, and on my right is a celtic sun.

Today I am going to get a Chi-Rho/labarum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labarum) with Roman victory laurels around it with the phrase, 'By this sign, you shall conquer' written around it. I am thinking I am going to put it on my left pec over my heart.

I also am planning to get black angel wings tattooed over my back (I want to cover it all baby!) but that is long term. Hopefully by the end of the year though. My favorite artist left my area, so I am still kinda looking for someone who rocks as much as Chris did.

As for piercings, I had three at one time. Two in left left ear, one in my right. I was planning on further piercings but a career in law enforcement shut that down. :frown:

Katy009

I have three....

a black rose on my bum

a sun on my shoulder

a tribal design covering my entire stomach...............

however, I had a c-section and the doctor sewed it back together crooked ... lol .... so it doesn't look like it did some years ago! Also, the pregnancy in general didn't really help it much either!

So if you are planning on having kids in the future, I would not recommend a stomach tattoo.

I got 3, all in college.

First was a little green gecko on my outer right ankle because my nickname is Lizard (for Liz).

Second is on my inner left ankle. It is in Japanese and says "Beatles" in purple, for the best band EVER! I wanted to get a yellow submarine but didn't think the yellow would look good on me and then I saw the Japenese writing on a Beatles poster from one of their concerts there.

Third is on my lower back. It is my biggest. In the middle is the Chinese symbol for the Ocean and it is surrounded by a circle of light blue waves with crests. I was a marine biology major and surfer so I wanted something that tied me to the ocean.

I would love to get another one when I hit my goal weight but I don't know where. I'm thinking on my back near a shoulder. I now work with fish so I really like the native Innuit of Alaska symbols for fish. I also love living in the mountains so a trout with mts would be cool. I also lived in Africa and it will always be a huge part of my life so I could do something with that. Too many choices!!

WillPillageYourVillageForFood

I have one on my right hip and with the exception of about 4 people who have posted, it is older than y'all. :laugh: It's a blue bird of happiness, corny I know, but when you are 15 and it's the mid 70's it was exactly what I wanted.

I love tattoos and after working in a jail for many many years I became a connoisseur of the good, the bad, and the ugly ones.

Just curious, how much does a small tatoo cost? I have no idea and I am thinking of getting a small snowflake. I think I'm having an early mid-life crisis!

Manda86

depends on who does it- a lot of shops have shop minimums.. the shop I worked at charged a 50 dollar set up fee, and then 100 dollars an hour... sometimes more depending on the intricacy of the piece...

it definitely depends on where you go. Some places have like, a 50 dollar minimum no matter what you get, but some more home town places could be as cheap as 30. Some do per hour...you may just have to call and ask. Sometimes color and complexity affect cost.
