    I would consider myself a tattoo enthusiast, lol I have some big pieces and totally have the itch for more. I get inspiration from pinterest and instagram quite often, especially instagram. I follow alot of local and global tattoo artists who are always posting sketches of work they are dying to put out. Hope you share what you get with us!! I have some pics of mine up, if you wanna check it out:tongue:

    Ok, I was going to throw my pics up but apparently can't find a way to do it. Oh well.

    It all depends on what you want. my last piece I got on my thigh was an art piece that the tattoo artist had created and I really liked it. my next one is the pantera logo on my right foot

    Oh no! What did you have that you want to get removed? I am hoping to never have that happen.

    It's just an open heart on my inner forearm, about the size of 2 quarters side by side. It's not offensive or anything, but I got it when I was 17 during a ~rebel~ phase and it's just not me anymore. It's not enough for me to drop $$$$ to get it removed (it would be about $900 probably) but if I could go back I wouldn't have gotten it.

    Do you think you can turn it into something else? It is definitely better than a lady bug or other things I have seen people get their first time! Open heart can at least mean something about you or someone you are dating. Kind of hard to give deep meaning into a lady bug lol.

    Pinterest and Google images are good inspirations. Just think of something you'll love forever and look up images or work with a tattoo artist to create a design.

    For me, I worship the sun and that's going to be my next tat. Just need to figure out the exact design. Good Luck!

    I am hoping to give myself three things for my birthday in June...

    #1. Meet my final goal and transition to lifelong maintenance (a girl can dream right??)
    #2. A divorce
    #3. A feminine phoenix or orobouros tattoo...I'm thinking 2-3" on my ribcage under my left arm

    I love the pheonix idea! The rebirth from death. I am a June Birthday too!

    Nothing personally against tattoos, but what happens if you shrink with loose skin, or get wrinkly with age? I ask because some of the guys I once worked with where having them removed in their late fifties and early sixties. Ex sailors with anchors etc.

    It's true they get faded and blurred as time wears on, @Gawanne...I have one about where my back left pocket is and it's gotten blurred over the last 20 years, but I'm planning on getting it redone in June. My uncle (Army vet) had his done in Okinawa on leave from Vietnam, and it's really faded and blurred...he thinks of it as a badge of honor, of a sort...He was exposed to Agent Orange and has had a slew of health problems, but he's still alive and kicking -"a li'l worse for the wear and fo' sho' worn out, but I ain't done yet!" (In a slow Miss'sippi accent)

    Your uncle sounds a great guy. One of my old bosses got his done on shore leave in Hong Kong I believe. Anyway he was blind drunk at the time. 40 years later he had it removed for his wife. Sported burn marks but I guess she was worth it. LOL anyway.
