    I have Winnie the Pooh on my Right hip. It's b/c he never lets anyone get him down. He's always like "oh bother" and moves on. I got it to remind me that the only person I can control is me. Other people I have to be "oh bother" and move on. I love it btw. I got it when I was 30 and 15 years later it's awesome.

    I have one so far. It's a heart made out of the treble and bass clefs used in music with a couple music notes around it; it's on my left foot. I love it! To me, music is life and I love all kinds of music. It's my passion.

    I have pegasus on my right shoulder. No meaning, just liked it & it was small. It needs to be redone.
    Left shoulder is a paw print in memory of my dog Sheppie. I wanted to put her name on there, but then decided not to because I figured if I did that for all the dogs I will have in my life, they could reach my butt! But I know she knows it's for her. RIP.

    I want... a crab (I'm a cancer & I collect crabs) Once I lose all my weight I want to get a seahorse, down there, with his tail tangled in "sea grass"! I have a really cute Snoopy riding a Harley that I would love to get, but I think I would probably regret that one, so I keep holding off! I would also like some sort of moon & sun thing and some sort of feathers, but haven't decided. I could cover myself if I had the money! LOL

    Age 19 - Superman symbol on my upper right thigh

    Age 21 - Rebel alliance symbol with the word JEDI in the middle and blue lightning coming out of it on my lower back

    I plan on getting another one at some point but I am still thinking about what I want.

    I have 3 tattoo's....one on each ankle and one on my shoulder

    My very first tattoo...A pegasus I went with a girlfriend to get like her 3rd tattoo swearing they were ugly and I would never get one ;o)

    My second tattoo is a rose wrapped around a dagger..... Funny, that one I was guilted into.... My husband of 18 years at the time was trying desperately to save our marriage and he really worked the guilt trip on me. He has the same exact tattoo with my name in it... I had his name removed Like 3 months later after getting his way and us working on the marriage he called it quits (Best thing that ever happened to me) I went into the same guy who tried talking us out of putting our names on each other and had it removed. He loved telling me "I told you so"

    My 3rd tattoo holds special meaning and is very dear to me. It is on my shoulder and it is chinese writing that says "slavestarr" Too personal too elaborate. ;o)

    I have a tattoo of a mushroom on my lower back. The meaning is actually very significant to me. My mother used to be an artist back in the '70's when mushrooms were really popular. Rather than sign her name on her artwork she always signed each of her paintings, pieces of potter, etc. with a small little mushroom. I had her design my tattoo and I think it represents me (her greatest art work of course LOL!) and it symbolizes that I will always have a piece of my mother with me. Unfortunately I never thought that when people would see it they would immediately assume it was a drug reference and think I was some weird mushroom-head. Oh well, I still love it. :tongue:

    I have five. My first was a Celtic cross -- located on my left shoulder blade. The second was the word "Faith" in Elvish (like the language of the elves in the Lord of the Rings...yes, I'm a nerd) on the back of my neck. Next, on my right shoulder blade, a bodhi tree (in Buddhism it symbolizes enlightenment) with a heart in the branches. Fourth, my only colored tattoo to date, a strawberry with "Nothing is Real" around it -- my ode to the Beatles. Finally, between my two shoulder tattoos, in the middle of the top of my back: "Le cœur a ses raisons, que la raison ne connaît pas" which translates to: "The heart has reasons which reason doesn't know." This is a quote from Blaise Pascal known for Pascal's wager. He was a famous mathematician, physicist, and theologian.

    I have a star on my left shoulder and each point stands for someone I lost.

    I also have a "sparrow" on my chest.

    I got done in my living room one drunken night.

    I dont suggest getting anything of that nature done in your living room....

    I have a tattoo of Chantilly lace around my forearm that I got several years ago.
    I'm getting another above my elbow of a Y in Scandinavian/Nordic inspired font. Y is the represent my beginning of my Chinese name in written in the English alphabet (since I grew up in the States but was born/also grew up in Taiwan). Scandinavian/Nordic style because I am highly fascinated with the culture and was there a few months ago.

    I have one, and it is on my right shoulder.

    It's not much to look at (fancy), but I designed it with specific input from my 4 children. They all contributed ideas of what they wanted, plus I incorporated symbols I wanted, ...including their 1st initials.

    It is for and about them. I am a single mom, and they are my world. I wanted them close to me, even after they are grown, and when I pass on. I am very very happy with it and very proud.

    I would like at least one more on my ankle and/or other shoulder. I'm not sure if I can on the shoulder though. I have surgery scars (from the 80's, so not clean and small lol).

    I'm liking what I see everyone....I'm really wanting that other one now lol.

    on my lower back (above tramp stamp area) about 6/7 inches celtic/tribal design -it's actually inspired by Tolkien's ring Nenya in Lord of the Rings, significance for me was being my own person (at the age of 25) lol. I'd been drawing and designing it for about 5 years and i'm well pleased :)

    thinking about getting another one of a lion fish just shading as I'm a diver, and I think they're beautiful.

    i woudl add a photo but I don't have photobucket sooo... you'll have to do with it's ACE

    I have 5. My first one is a butterfly on my right shoulder I got almost 10 years ago. I just wanted one and that's what I picked. Same with the one of my left leg, some flowers.

    My other 3 have meaning.
    My left wrist- song of solomon 2:16- My beloved is mine and I am his with my husband's initials
    my right foot- 4 lady bugs, all colored differently for me, my kids, and my hubby
    behind my right ear- music notes because I love music and love to sing
