Tattoos!!

Im another tattoo fan, I have six altogether, a tribal sun on my right shoulder and a tribal pattern on my left upper arm. On my lower left arm i have a tribal skull design on the inner side i have the words "Lest we forget" which was a kind of tribute to my grandfather who passed away a few years ago. on my inner wrist on the same forearm I have a treble clef. and on my left thigh I have a bunch of stars. :0)

I have a tattoo sleeve designed ready for when i reach my half-way point :0)

EDIT: I also have a 10mm flesh tunnel on my left earlobe and a pierced pinna on my right :0)

I have 5.
A small lizard, my favorite animal, on my left shoulder.
A maze on my right shoulder. The design is taken from a Bronze Age rock carving in Cornwall.
The tree of life down my back. It's based on the White Tree of Gondor from Lord of the Rings.
A 'tramp stamp', I hate that phrase, of a raven.
And finally a wrist band of ivy with a triskel in the centre. Again the leaf is from LOTR and the triskel is my favorite group, the Levellers, logo.

I have 8 with more to come tats are so addicting! My tats are:
* left forearm Japanese symbol for mother
* above that Japanese symbol for daughter
* above that Japanese symbol for son
* left inner wrist a purple star that fades to white
*right wrist a cherry blossom bracelet in the memory of Kristen who died at 37 from stomach cancer
*right top of the foot a hummingbird and a rose for my grandmother who taught me to always have you right foot forward.
* back of the neck I have a butterfly
* left ankle flower with a 13 coming of of the stem that I had done on Friday the 13th.

The big tattoo I want to get is a male sparrow bird with a key in his beak and a female sparrow with a heart locket in her beak. I also still need to figure out what I'm going to put on the top of my left foot.

I will post pictures on my page after the kids go to bed.

Mickey Mouse on my hip - which looks like a BIG BLOB now...I am 31 and got it when I was 16.....there is a reason they want you to be 18 in order to get tattoos....Not so much that I regret getting a tattoo....just wish I would have put more thought into it.

Also have a tropical fish on my right shoulder, not much bigger than a 50 cent piece.

Next.....I want the Kay Jewelers open heart design with my kids initials inside and "my love for you will never die" wrapped around the hearts. I have been wanting it for quite a while, just been really picky about where I want to get it. I am a professional, so I need to be able to cover my tat's up at certain times, but I want to be able to show my tat's off whenever I can too. From reading all the posts, I am thinking maybe I will get this inside one of my ankles.....any other ideas?

This is a fun post...

I work in a professional field too so I have the same problem with ink placement! So far, I have my low back, the side of my stomach above my hip (which is currently my profile pic), both my feet (one on the top, one on the side), my upper arm and my hip. With the exception of the one on my upper arm, I can hid all of my very well; too the point that when people hear that I have 6 they are shocked! My favorite spot is the one on the side of my stomach. Great to see often myself (unlike my back one. I sometimes forget that it's there! :laugh: ) but yet easy to hide. I will warn you, the side of the stomach HURT bad. By far the worst of any of them I've gotten. But, just like my tattoo artist says...it's gonna hurt no matter where you put it so you might as well put it where you want it! :bigsmile: The top of the foot is also easy to hid, but very easy to show off when you want to. Go with your instincts. Just think about it long enough and the right place will come to you. All my pics are on my profile if you wanna take a look. Good luck!

The Rebel Alliance Symbol from Star Wars on my hip!

I teach high school and work in physical therapy and I have had no problems with looking professional with them.

I have 2 and about 10 I still want to get! I have my name in gaelic on the back of my neck that I designed myself (unfortutely I don't remember how it's spelled and I just tried reading it with the mirror and that's very hard, lol, I believe i have a pictures some where) and the other is on my hip of a penguin hanging from a pink star gazer, my favorite animal and my favorite flower. When I reach my goal weight I'm getting my penguin and flower touched up and a new one! Just have to decide on which of the many I want the most.

MammaTurner - Congratulations on the NO smoking too!

have none yet but i have one of the best tattooists in the city lined up to do my work. getting a Claddagh symbol around my left wrist (me and my parter getting matching and his fits in with his flames plus can be covered with long sleeves or watch depending on what work we are doing) im also getting script accross my back in latin saying "love and loyalty, knowledge and truth" and then "courage" in ancient greek (im a history major with a soft spot for the classics - my body will look like a rosetta stone when im finished!) accross the lower back. i also want the southern cross on my foot (so i can say im aussie from the ground up :P) but have been put off with the boost in popularity lately and am considering changing that one to the eureka diamond (i want to be unique so sue me), on the other foot i want the words "just run" (for when i get to my run goal - 100km race) so yeh you could say i like tattoos.... :P

LOVE IT!!! I have the Claddaugh on my back, designed off my ring. My total is 5 right now, but I have plans for many more, including 6-shooters crossed between my shoulder blades-that'll be my favorite one! Also have:
- "Mama Tried" right below my neck on my back (God Bless Merle Haggard)
-my cousin's names on my wrists (2)
-Eagle, Globe & Anchor with "Semper Fi" underneath (first one, fresh outta boot camp!)
