    I have a sugar skull with roses as a half sleeve on my arm, from elbow to my wrist. There is a bumblebee, stormy cloud, a heart and tiny stars all as filler. I have all the card suits on my forearm. I have an unlucky black cat with the number 13 on my inner bicep, along with a pizza slice with a banner that says "DAD" on it. That's all on my left arm. On my right arm I have 3 tiny black stars on my wrist. Then on my left hip I have a cupcake (I got it long before they got uber popular, ugh).

    That's it, but I want more!

    Wow! I am about to get my first one. I have wanted to get two forever, but just haven't gotten up the nerve to do it yet. I went to see a tattoo artist a couple of weeks ago, and now I am just waiting for her to call me back and let me know that my design is done (it is a custom tattoo shop, so she is drawing it special for me). My husband just got his first one this last week for his birthday. He got a huge snake being speared by a sword down his side. It looked like it hurt.

    But, I am going to get a tiger lily and some daisies on my foot, and kind of looped around my ankle a bit. And I also want to get a shamrock on my hip, but that is going to be my present to myself for reaching my goal. :smile:

    Hello everyone, I’ve not got any tattoos, but I am thinking about getting one. It is something that I’ve thought about for a while, but I am a true wimp and have never got up the courage. However, I realised recently that I never thought I’d be able to lose weight, and I have…! It’s made me think that maybe I can do it after all.

    I’m wanting to get a chrysanthemum head tattooed on my upper arm in a watercolour style (think Amanda Wachob Magnolia tattoo), in dark bluey purples. Here’s the pic I’m using for reference. i tried to insert it in to the post, but it's too big so you'll have to go look at the link.

    http://www.tonyaandreovich.com/yahoo_site_admin/assets/images/Chrysanthemum-in-pencil-01.195123806.jpg

    I’ve had a quote to get it done, and the artist reckons that it would take about 3-4 hours to do it (I’m looking at 3-4 inches in diameter) and the cost would be about £180-£240 (£60 an hour). All I have to do now is try and work out whether I really and truly want it done, and there for the rest of my life.

    Do any of you know much about how tattoos age? I figure by the time I get to 80 (if I do!) I won’t care, but whilst I’m in my 40’s, 50’s etc I still want it to look good. I’m 28 now. The other things I’m wondering is whether I can actually pull off the look of having a tattoo in such a visible place (although easy to hide with sleeves).

    I guess it’s stuff to work out for myself, but any advice would be welcome…I’ll let you know what I decide!

    I have two, one is a butterfly made up of my kids' first initials (Brendan, Emma, Baylie. A "B" for each wing, and a stylized "E" for the body and head). It's about 6 inches wide in between my shoulder blades. It needs work though. No pix of that one. lol

    The second makes more sense if you know that I'm a costume designer and seamstress.

    This was pretty soon after it was done. She's not nearly so...er...boobacious, now that she's healed and the shading has mellowed out a little :) I LOOOOVE her, but she makes it hard to buy cute winter boots. The top of the boot tends to want to sit right under her bust. Not a good look. hahahahahaha

    I have my next one planned too. I want two large pheonixes coming out of some smoke, with shadows of three small ones following behind. I'm putting it on the back of my shoulder kind of looping over to the front so that one of the larger pheonixes is flying down the front of my shoulder. We had a massive house fire in October and have been back into our house for about a month now. I'd like something to remind me of how strong our family is. :)

    I'm 42 and I have a sailor girl I got when I was 18. She's holding up pretty well.

    The modern inks are very durable. The upper arm isn't an area that usually sags much. I'd say that unless you get some insanely bright colors that will fade somewhat, you should be fine.

    And don't forget, you can always get them retouched and freshened up.

    I have one, a yellow rose on my breast. I want to design one with three D's in it...my hubby & 2 kids are all D names.

    As far as how they hold up, I got mine at 20 and am 33 now. My boobs have gone from fat to skinny to pregnant to skinny again....it still looks great but my boobs aren't wrinkled.. Think about where you get it. I got mine at the same time as a friend and she wanted it on her hip and the guy said "You want kids??" she said yes and moved the tattoo..good thing, she was one of theose people whose intire belly got stretch marks, then she got a tummy tuck...the tattoo would be a mess! Another thing is what profession your going into. Tattoos are more acceptible but sometimes it's nice to be able to cover them...my MIL was very pleased that my wedding dress covered mine BUT I can show it off when I want. Good Luck!

    I have a Pegasus on my front lower hip. Got it 28 years ago before tats were cool...again, a trendsetter! LOL My ex thought it was terrible until a buddy of his told him he wanted his wife to get one and he pops up and announces that I've got one on my hip! Thanks for checking with me if it was OK to tell people I have one, Hon! Back then it was scandelous and I was all proper! Now, I wouldn't have a problem telling...obviously! :laugh:
