    if you can name that movie feel free to friend me :)

    the list of what I want is getting quite long, but right now I'm quite broke. :(

    I currently only have one on my left ank of a construction worker taz.

    I plan on getting another tat this spring after running the Boston Marathon.

    I have:-
    Right Shoulder - Grown Up Simba from The Lion King with the Leo symbol etched out of the mane. The Lion King is my fav movie and I'm a Leo and didn't want anything masculine.
    Right Forearm - 3 cherry blossom flowers with Believe, Achieve, Succeed written in the middle. The flowers represent me, my sister and my lil bro as we are very close and the words really help me through tough times, especially when studying.
    Left Wrist - Coral Snake around my wrist (like a bracelet). I was born the year of the snake and coral snakes have a temperament that I think definitely matches mine lol.
    Can't wait to get more tattoos, am designing my next one now.

    And I have my first sitting tomorrow night for my new one - a half-back piece of a five-headed dragon in flight, who is known in mythology as the "queen of chaos", very appropriate to my life. So exited about it!!

    <---- Updated - a photo of my tattoo in progress after the first sitting where the outline was done. Got about 15-18 hours left.

    The three dice on my inner bicep reading " 1 - 6 - 6" represent my ability to consume massive amounts of alcohol in Las Vegas as well as a tattoo artist with incredibly poor directional perception.

    I have a large cherry blossom branch on my foot, it reminds me of a new beginning, kinda what I have with this weight loss. I got it when I lost 40 pounds, there is a pic on my profile, it's really pretty if I do say so myself ;-)
    I also have the sagittarius sign on my chest.

    My gram gram's initials on my left shoulder blade, my mom's on my right, and a self designed drawing on my lower back to be continued once I lose all my weight. I want at least 3 or 4 more on my back and perhaps upper thigh.

    On my left foot I have crossed anchors with my daughter and husband's name in each. - 1) I'm a Navy vet - Boatswainsmate and that was my ensignia and 2) they ground me - not in the I'm sufficated sense, but in the sense that it if wasn't for them I'd still be at the bar every night going home with some random guy.....yes I admitted it!

    The other one is a "tramp stamp" on my lower back that I got in Singapore while on deployment...It used to be a gorgeous tiger lily - now it looks like it's giving you the finger.

    Archer on right shoulder - Saggitarius - Me
    Rose (on what will be my left, bottom ab, once my six pack kicks in) - British Rose (me being patriotic? )
    6 Stars on left obilque - One for each of my siblings including me and Mum.
    An Ankh with heirogliphs at the nape of my neck, the gliphs move down the top of my spine to just below my shoulder blades. - life and all the good and bad that comes with it.
    Intertwined Sun and Moon - my deceased twin siblings

    Forgot one: Infinity Cross on my right wrist - it's on the underside of the my wrist so when i meet clients and shake hands they don't necessarily get to see it. :wink:

    I have Japanese symbols for strength, spirit, and longevity going down my spine. Strength and spirit because I feel they describe my personality and longevity for a long life. Then I have aequitas on my lower back (tramp stamp holla!) because my sister and I were teenagers and we loved the movie The Boondock Saints. So she got one and I got the other, but our mother wood have killed us if we had gotten them on our hands like they have them in the movie!!

    Right upper arm- Little checkerboard hearts outlined in bright neon colors; got them because i love checkerboard, they're spunky like me, and represent my love of ska music ;)

    Left upper arm- a cartoon zombie girl that was drawn to look like me. my best friend and i are obsessed with zombies. we wanted tattoos to represent our friendship and ourselves so we got zombie girls that represent both of us and had them done at the same time. hers of course looks like her and mine like me. i'm going to get a graveyard and ghosts put with it sometime.

    top of right foot- 3 bats; represents me, my best friend and her daughter (who is like my little sister). we have been best friends for so long. mine are just outlines. lol, once again, my best friend has the same set of bats representing the same, but has hers colored in.

    top of left foot - 4 stars each a different neon color because i LOVE stars!

    behind left ear- 2 more little stars :)

    right back hip area? - blue brontosaurus. i am so obsessed with dinosaurs and i always wanted to have one with me at all times.

    front right shoulder - hello kitty. i'm a huge hello kitty fan! everything i own is basically hello kitty! (even the inside of my car is completely decked out in hello kitty lulz)

    if i lose all my weight, i am awarding myself with 2 more tattoos. i want a cute sloth (bradypus variegatus) on my thigh because i am a sloth lover and completely lose my mind over sloths. like go completely insane. also, i'm a huge nature buff and a dr. seuss buff... and the lorax is my favorite story (you have no idea how much ifreaked out when the movie came out.) so i'm going to get some truffula trees and the word unless.. because i believe in that story so much.

    so yeah. there's my tatttooos!

    Have quite a bit - but my 2 favorites are:
    A story my son and I read called "Monster Party" .... Gargoyle holding a balloon on a string - starts below my jugular and ends about 3 inches above my belly button.
    &
    My husband and I have a matching hot air balloon with wedding date, on our inner forearms.

    Foot - Peacock feather - reminds me to be proud of myself and give myself credit where it's due
    Behind Ear - Scissors - I went to hair dressing school and don't want to forget it.
    Chest/Wrist - Padlocked Heart/Key - Who holds my hand holds the key to my heart
    Bicep - Owl, for good luck

    It depends on where you get it. Mine is on the side of my upper arm and it did not hurt at all. Granted, I have some meat there. LOL ... I hear that it does hurt if you get it some place that is right on bone.

    Hmmm ... never talked to anyone who had one there. Despite the fact that there really isn't any muscle or fat under the skin there, the skin on the knees does tend to be a bit tougher. I wouldn't think that the knee would be painful. One thing to consider regarding a tattoo on the knee ... depending on your body, of course, the skin over the knee changes in it's tightness and orientation when you stand up and sit down. I would keep that in mind when you are planning or choosing your design.
