Tattoos

PurdyMommy

ooooo this sounds fun!

Piercings
I have a vertical labret and a stud on the right side of my nose.

Tattoos
Right arm: a moon bracelet, water fairy on the inside of my forearm; a flower fairy, griffin, and custom design on my upper arm.
Left arm: an "OM" symbol on upper arm, kanji symbol for love on inside forearm, and Tibetan writing around my wrist.
Neck: a butterfly with a stinger on the base, just under the hair line.

Soooo many more tattoos to come one I have the funds :bigsmile:

YOU HAVE A GRIFFIN TAT. CAN I SEE A PIC. MY HUBBY HAS ONE TOO, ITS A SLEEPING GRIFFIN AND ITS IN MEMORY OF THIS BROTHRE MATTHEW GRIFFIN.

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.

COOL LET ME KNWO WHEN YOU POST IT!

No tattoos for me.. I don't think I ever will either.. I would only consider my future husbands name and future kids names on the inside of my lip.. Does anyone have a tatoo here? ..the reasons I wouldn't ever get one are because I change my mind a lot and I donate blood every 8 weeks and tattoos are a red flag in donating where I'm from..

Piercings...I am boring... just my ears.. and only 1 in each ear.. haha

My husband has lots of tattoos so obviously he doesn't mind needles so he gives blood a lot. But you have to wait a year from your last tattoo to give blood and he hasn't gone a whole year for like 2 years now!

I have several tats that are starting to expand.

I don't have any piercings, but I'm getting my first tattoos on my 30th birthday. I'm going to get a frog with a halo and angel wings on one shoulder, and a devil driving a hot rod on the other shoulder.

MollySue30

I have 4 in my right ear and 6 in my left ear and my belly pierced and working on getting my first tat of dolphins in a ying yang with my girls names of the belly of each of them.

I can't seem to place it on here oh well, it is on my profile under my pictures.

policemans_princess

I know I'm a little late in the game, but I have 8 piercings total...only 4 in my ears I have my tongue, nipples, and one below the belt. I had my navel done only a month before I found out I was pregnant with my first...Once I hit my goal weight, I have every intention of getting it redone. I'd love to do my eyebrow, but can't because of work. I also had my tragus' done, once upone a time...BY FAR the most painful...but had to take those out for work as well...

Only 1 tattoo for now...Tigerfly with scrolling on my lower back. Hubby and I want to get wedding band tats...as well as both of our signs. I also want to get a blue rose with some vining on my foot/ankle (blue rose is the "symbol" of a police wife)...I want to get a starburst (hard to describe) on the other foot. And I would love to get Jessica Rabbit somewhere...just can't figure out where to put her...

Actually, as long as the tattoo was done in a state-regulated/licenced facility, it can probably be done right away. As long as a piercing has been done with a sterile needle, you can. But if neither has happened, then the wait is a year.

I had my eyebrow pierced in early 2000. I took it out around 2004-ish, maybe earlier. It never closed. I put my ring back in this weekend. Can't wear it to work (at a bank, haha) but I can wear it at night and on weekends!!! I am so happy with it in. Back to my more Bohemian self. :flowerforyou:

My current tattoo on my left shoulder/ back:


My next tattoo, a phoenix to fly over my moon:



I'm so glad the blood donation -- tattoo issue was brought up. I have been delaying my tatt since I just started donating again and didn't want to stop donating for such a selfish reason (wanting a new tatt). From the Red Cross website:

Tattoo
Wait 12 months after a tattoo if the tattoo was applied in a state that does not regulate tattoo facilities. This requirement is related to concerns about hepatitis. Learn more about hepatitis and blood donation.

Acceptable if the tattoo was applied by a state-regulated entity using sterile needles and ink that is not reused. There are 32 states that currently regulate tattoo facilities. You should discuss your particular situation with the health historian at the time of donation.

I do wish they'd have listed the 32 states so I can make sure I am in one.

Ohhhh, I wanna play!!

I have a few but the most recent, I got over Christmas break with my best friend.






It is my 4th tat and her first!!!

I seem to be the least decorated around this thread, but here goes...

I have my ears pierced twice in each, and my belly button is pierced.

No tattoos...YET...but I would like to get one, probably lower back (yes, I'm okay with a "tramp stamp" LOL) but don't know what I want....also, honestly...how much does it HURT???

T, I have the infamous tramp stamp. :laugh: ! I am going to get mine covered up though. I have a butterfly and japanese symbols above that.
I am thinking about getting hibiscus flowers to cover it up. I got the symbols when I was 18. Didn't really think that through...they could say anything and I wouldn't know any better.

And the back tattoos don't hurt in my opinion. The only one that really hurt me was my foot. OUCH!
But I guess it depends on your threshold for pain. I love the way a tat feels!

I had the SAME fear of pain. My current tat is about the size of a quarter, LMAO, and I had the artist do the star first, in case it was too painful, so I could make him stop. :laugh: But really, it's not that bad. It's not like getting a massage or anything, but it's not horrifically painful.

There are certain locations that hurt more than others, typically. The foot, the ankle, the inside of the arms (tribal wraps).... others I can't think of. I've never heard anyone say a tramp stamp hurt too badly. And I think it's a great location for a tat, just never put one there myself. (yet:bigsmile: )

I get my tat design and hold on to it for a while before making the final decision.
Had the star and moon design for at least 3 years before making it happen.
I've only had the phoenix since this past fall, but she's posted on the wall of my cube and I'm very comfortable with her... she will make the cut and be placed on my back.

I guess I should have said....I have been deciding on what to get for 8 months now and have narrowed it down to a few. I know....it has taken me awhile...lol.

I'm never one to make rash decisions.

Thank you for your sweet concern.:flowerforyou:

I know my name is long, but I told you you could use my initials. :blushing:

My ears are pierced once and I have a 2" appendix scar by my bellybutton! I'm crazy, babies!! :smokin: :devil: :drinker:

Shannon, you live on the edge...:smokin:

I want a nose ring. Well, a nose stud. One of those teensy tiny diamonds, so small people question whether it's a piercing or a fleck of glitter on your nose.

However, I cannot fathom letting a piercer dig up in my nose to pierce it. hahahahahaha

This is kinda what my next one (number 9) will look like. Myself, my 2 brothers, and my dad are going to get them. My older sisters are too chicken :laugh:

And think about the tickle...I'd probably sneeze all the time. :ohwell:

I love the phoenix btw. Very elegant and simple!

i have a star on my left foot. i have some ideas for more, but we'll just have to wait and see what happens. my star didnt really hurt at all. just felt like a scrape - nothing like i thought it would feel.

suprjewels

I have the symbol in japanese for M on my inner right ankle and a japanese flower on my left shoulder blade. I want more but, need $$ and some weight loss. I'm truly addicted and don't know how many I'll get. Neither of them hurt at all. Maybe when I get one that hurts I'll stop. :laugh: I want a tramp stamp too! I use to have my belly button pierced but, it wouldn't heal because I am allergic to the medal. Nice scar that I have now. I have one extra whole in my left ear. I'd love to have more piercinigs but, I have to have gold and just can't afford!

fitchick99

I have a navel piercing, the ears..too many times, a tiny little diamond stud in my nose, I have a tat of three roses, and vines, the vines incorporate all my kids names, it's on my lower back on the gal who did it was awesome, I'm going to do one more just not too sure where, my hubby hates tats on women, plus with all the stupid conventions and black tie affairs we attend I can't have any visible, as he says it would look just simply vulgar! lol..I love him, but damn he's anal!

Mine WAS the same way. I got my bellybutton done before we met. He complained about it so much. That is was vulgar and so on. I didn't care! Then I got the tats while we were on a "break". LOL When we got married he put them down. He didn't like tats at all. Thought they were ridiculous, waste of money and discusting especially on women. He told me I couldn't get anymore until he caught up. His way of making me quit because he never planned on getting one. Then he got drunk with his dad and bro and got airborne wings on his chest and was hooked. He got his second one a memoir of his friend lost in battle in Afgan. So he's caught up and I'm "aloud" to proceed with my tats. I think it's too funny. Now he's addicted and wants more as well. Our next one is going to be something for the kids that match but, haven't found the right design yet.

I have 3 tattoos but I really want to get one covered up. I have just put them into my pictures in my profile.

The problem is i have way too many ideas on what to cover it up on.

What would you guys suggest??
