    Okay, I'm still planning on my 1st tattoo! I'm a runner, but don't want to get the tattoo everyone else gets, the shoes w/ wings, the runner stick guy, the 26.2 tattoo. I'm trying to be very creative, can't give my ideas away, but will totally listen to new ones!

    Hey do you mind me asking why you have the name Dunlop on one of your tatoos?

    That is my lucky pick that I used to use at every show I played. My brother got it for me when I was first learning to play guitar. It finally broke so I decided to have it tattooed on me kinda to represent my vast love of music.
  • I have 3 holes in each ear, my belly button and my tongue....:tongue:

    I have 6 tattoos...Left shoulder blade is a tattoo for my 4 year old daughter, got it when she was a baby, its a baby layin on a halfmoon with stars all around and has her name and birthdate. Right shoulder blade is a baby tiger for my 3 year old son, got it when he was a baby as well, has his name and birthdate. Right calf I have some flowers going down my leg. Left Upper Arm is a tattoo for my Grandfather who passed away over 2 years ago, he was retired Veteran so its a gun with boots and helmet with dog tags, his initials are in the helmet. My hubby and I also have matching tattoos on our wrists, one wrist says True in chinese letters and the other wrist says Love.

    I am hoping for more tattoos and piercings in the future but can't afford it right now! :cry:

    I used to have 3 piercings in my ears and one up top on my left ear but now I only actually put earrings in the first holes and let the rest heal up. My skin in general apparently is too sensitive to so much metal or something -- no matter what I used, once I got the third holes everything got really infected all the time.

    I got my first tattoo back in July of this year. Actually, my husband and I both got little matching tattoos that day together, a little less than a month after our wedding. His is on his chest over his heart and mine is on my lower back/upper hip on the right side.

    I'll explain the symbol even though a lot of you will think we're COMPLETE geeks, but it's special to us only and that's all that matters ;)

    The symbol is simple: <4 (that's a less than symbol and the number 4)
    You know how <3 (less than three) is a heart emoticon? (turn your head to the side and you'll see that it's a heart)? Well my husband and I started typing <4 back and forth in emails because we love each other so much more than your typical heart... (4 is greater than 3). Geeky right? I accidentally typo'd <4 one day in an email to him when I meant to do <3 and when he replied he asked me what that was and my excuse was that I loved him more, hence why I used a 4 instead of a 3. It stuck and it's our own little special code for I love you.

    I told you we were geeky.


    That is the cutest story ever!

    Anyway, the symbol is about the size of a nickel (maybe a quarter) and took less than 5 minutes to get.

    I plan to get a tiny little maple leaf in celebration of getting my canadian citizenship in about a year and a half probably really close to the <4 symbol, since it's all about my husband anyway and I moved here with him :)

    I love that!

    Stories behind Tattoos are so amazing!

    Oh ok I was just wondering. My husband has that tattoo on his back but it is because it's our last name. :laugh:
  • I have seven piercings...

    3 in my ears, one is cartilege (sp?)

    one in my nose

    and three more you can't see :devil:


    And I really really want a tattoo, but I don't think it will look good in the places I would want to put one now. So I'm gonna give that to myself as a goal weight present! Not sure what I want yet tho...
  • I have a cheshire cat on my ankle. I would love to get my nose pierced. I also want more tattoos, I would like something around my wrist to remember my mother who passed away nearly 10 years ago, and a paw print with hubby's name on my back.

    Piercing -- L-Eyebrow, R-side of nose, Tongue and two in each ear with plans to get my lip done in the near future.

    I have a Blooming Rose on my right ankle as a symbol for my kids which will be finished with sun, moon, stars representing each one of them sealed with a vine.

    I'm in process of creating a dragon tat for my back and a scorpion for my L-thigh. These tat will not be done until I reach my goal weight. On resembles all the crap I have gnoe through and the other represent who I am.

    I have none. I am such a nerd...everyone in my family has one cept me!

    I have your 2 pierced ears and a 2nd in one ear.

    I was going to get a rose on my breast when I was in my 20's. really glad I didnt now....it would def be a loooooong stem red rose by now!!:cry:

    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Now I am really thinking that WHEN (not if) I hit my goal weight of 135 I may put a 3 leaf clover (one for each kid) a small lepracaun (i am irish) and a rainbow (i LOVE rainbows!) on my right leg above the ankle about 5 inches.

    Well we will see. I bet the family would throw me a party if I actually did it!

    I don't have anything cool. :sad:

    My job doesn't allow facial piercings, so I have to wait until I can leave, and then I want to have my lip pierced (not the beauty-mark kind, the bottom lip kind). Then I want to get a tattoo of a stylized owl because they represent wisdom and knowledge, concepts that are very important to me.

    I have each ear lobe peirced twice, as well as my left cartilege, right tragus, & my tongue. I used to have a nose ring but it never healed so I took it out.

    As far as tatoos, I have a flowery arm band, a lily & butterfly mural on my right calf that takes up 1/3 of my lower leg, a rose & heart on my chest, a panther shadow with a tribal sign around it on my lower back, and a mushroom with a butterfly flying above it on my left outer calf.

    I have my (bottom) lip pierced three times, I used to have my bridge pierced but it grew out. :( I might get a couple of anti-eyebrow piercings soon. :tongue:
  • I used to have my belly button pierced but i was allergic to the metal that the ring was made of so i ended up having to take it out. I also have my left cartilege pierced.

    Tattoos
    I only have one tattoo at this point, it is two forget me nots with a lady bug and water droplets on them. It is for my grandparents.

    I have my tongue, ears 3x each, and my nose pierced. I have a tat on my shoulder of thumper, and one on my chest of dumbo, and i also have the toe ring... Don't get the toe, it smudges off. Mine looks like it was done with a marker and i tryed to rub it off with my thumb lol.
    I plan to get a tat in the middle of my back. It is one of my goals to lose enough weight and reward myself with the tat.

    Henna or as we call it Mehendi is a great way to see if you really want that particular tattoo on you! It's really pretty.

    I have some pics on my myspace with mehendi/henna on my hands...

    Yes it is a hena tattoo... I don't do hena though... just regular tattoos for me.
    I would have him actually tattoo it traditionally.
    I currently have 12.

    I'll put a pic up soon. I'm at work and just took down the pics I had on myspace lol. It's not finished yet, I've only had the outline done. It is a custom piece that my artist did for me. He basically just sketched it onto my arm then added the ink. It's diving down around one of my other tats. I love it and can't wait to finish it.
