    I have no idea how to add photos...

    I got my first tattoo just over a year ago, it's a stalk of bearded wheat on top of my right foot/ankle. Both sides of my family come from farming backgrounds, so this was a way for me to show off my roots :)

    Wow! I need to figure out how to add pics. I have 6.
    1, Jimminy the Cricket, for my Grandma, she was granny cricket.
    2, A smurf with Angel wings, my nickname is smurf from my dad, and the angel wings are to symbolize me with my grandma, they are next to each other on my right hip.
    3, A Martini glass, with an olive as the O and an F on either side, the FOF stands for **** o face, it was a saying my late aunt/godmther said. Her favorite drink was very dry gin martinis.
    4. A sun and moon onthe utside of my right ankle, just for fun, I always loved the sun and moon.
    5. The great dane Bubba I had as a kid, a rose under him, and his name. He was my puppy, I'd like to get the 2 chows my fioancee and I had on the inside of the left ankle, a rainbow wrapping around all the dogs and "Gone yet not forgaotten all though we are apart you are forever in my heart" above.
    6. The newest, a celtic cross, and in the center a claddagh, so I will never forget my love faith and loyalty.

    I know I will never be able to get tattoos for everyone I love, but they are always with me.

    I have an arm "band" on my right arm with a script K in the middle (all my family's names start with K)

    And I have a small cross on my left hand in honor of my best friend who died in 2003 and he had the same exact thing

    Well, just got my first one on Saturday!

    2evxpig.jpg

    It is the Tree of Life. And although it has many different meanings across religions and philosophies, I'm a humanist and an atheist, so this is a more accurate explanation as to why it's meaningful to me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_life_(biology). The representation of "everything on earth is connected" is really what I love most.

    I have 3.....so far.......and have plans in progress for a major back piece / 1/2 sleave

    The first I got is a dove with small stars around it and a reference to psalm 116:15. This is on my stomach. I got this as I lost all 4 grandparents in the space of a few years and I wanted to know they were being cared for once they passed.

    The second is a heart in grays and whites on my ankle. This I got because I saw the picture in a shop and loved it so took it straight down to the tattoo studio and got it done.

    My third and newest at a few weeks old, is the Goonies skull and cross swords on my inner wrist. Life has been tough in a few areas, works been unsettled, I split with my boyfriend and I'm obviously on this huge journey of weight loss and self discovery. I got the Goonies to remind me that Goonies never say die! and to pick myself up, dust myself off and keep going. I am amazed at how much this works for me and has been a major help since I got it.

    I would put the pics on but not sure how "numpty"

    I say it this way, when I had my first tattoo I had some one look at me and ask what will you do when you get old, well my first tattoo was in memory of my grandma, and my reply was "My grandma was not perfect when she dies, I will not be perfect when I die, and neither will my tattoo."
    I'm sure most of us have seen or read "the outsiders" Nothing in life can stay Golden.

    I thought of this before I got my tattoo-- how it might look terrible when I get older. The tattoo artist I went to said it perfectly. It's really not about how it will look when you get older. It's about having a constant reminder of something meaningful to you. It is more than a picture, an object/material thing, or an experience you may have for just a moment with other things. It is a permanent, personal representation of something in your life that you don't want to forget.

    I have a bunch and I plan on getting more. Yes, I realize I haven't explained what, where and why - but I tend to do that often enough in a week. I have them because they look awesome and mean something to me. Simple enough answer.

    I am terrified of needles,but got a tattoo from my sisters now ex- boyfriend who does tatts. I have a mixture of stars and music notes on my right ankle. The stars are to remind me of the words to my favorite quote. " It's not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves." and The music notes are because music has gotten me through some of the toughest times in my life and some of which has been a big inspiration to me.
