    Inside wrist - lotus with my nieces birthday under it . Inside left and right forarm - nieces hand prints from when she was 3 with both her first and middle name under them
    left shoulder blade - Fairy - custom drawn
    Right foot: Some days just look - left foot: better upside down - something that will always remind me of my grandmother
    right collar bone - turtle with a top hat smoking - no regrets the money went to the turtle and seabird rescue in the gulf coast - hard to regret something that went to a good cause.
    Left upper arm - Zombie pinup - with the words: Pretty Piece of Flesh under it - custom piece done by a fantastic artist - no regrets


    Every tattoo I have other than the turtle has a lot of thought put into it so I do not regret them. They all have a meaning for a specific point in my life - they tell a story of sorts.

    1. Yep, I've got 10 starting from behind my ear to the bottom of my foot
    2. First one was my 18th birthday and my last one was maybe a year ago
    3. I have an infinity symbol, aries sign, "**** shoes", "Conquer All Fears", "I'll always be there when you wake", a celtic sun, a black heart, two tattoos that match my best friend's, cherry blossoms
    4. I only regret my wrist tats because they're a bit more tricky to cover if I need to hide them. Otherwise, nope.

    1. Do you have any, and if so, HOW many?
    2. When did you get it/them?
    3. What did you get?
    4. Any regrets?

    1. I have 8. I got my first when I was 17 and sitting on a pool table. Regrets? A couple. My first: was supposed to be a rose, but guy had a homemade tattoo gun and was high, so it has thick lines, solid color (black) and from a distance looks like a cobra.., Second. Same stupid mistake, same man, different gun, yin yang with fire & blood and looks more like a cracked egg. I have a couple tribal tats I want covered. LOL. I got a professional tat of a dagger with a banner on my right breast, NOT THINKING that as I get older and the more weight I gain, the bigger the boob got the BIGGER the Tat would GGGGEEEEETTTTT....... LOL. It just stretched on down.

    1. Do you have any, and if so, HOW many? 3, but one has 6 pieces to it, so...
    2. When did you get it/them? First one at 21, then about 24 and I think the last was 26ish - I'm 32 now.
    3. What did you get? First one was a tribal(ish) butterfly tramp stamp, second is also tribal-ish - a seahorse on my ankle (inside of ankle), and the last one is a cluster of 6 cosmos (a type of flower) on my upper back/shoulder area - it is fairly large.
    4. Any regrets? Yes, but not huge regrets. There are things I would rather have now than what I picked at the time. The first two are very dated. I could cover them up with something way better, but at the same time they have meaning to me and are a part of me so i don't know if I ever will. The flowers - I should have researched my artist better especially for such a large piece. He did a crap job. I managed to get them fixed by someone else. He made them look good, but couldn't do anything about the layout which wasn't donw how I wanted it. Nobody but me can tell and I have had lots of compliments on it, but it could have been a lot better.

    I'm always tempted to get more, but I think these mild regrets have kept me from doing it. I also work in a professional environment and if i got another one I'd probably want it on my inner forearm, which would be difficult to hide in summer!

    I have 1. A lady bug on my toe. It's very personal to me. I originally never wanted any tattoos, but I decided I had to have at least one since I'm hoping to apprentice for my tattoo and possibly piercing license. I might get more, who knows.

    I have 2. I got my first one about 10 years ago around my ankle. Then I got a turtle and Hawaiian flowers on my upper arm. Do I regret them? No, I love them! I am gearing up to get one on my inner wrist here in the next couple of months.. As I loose more weight I will be adding more!

    I have 2, pretty large ones. One on each shoulder blade. The 1st one I got at 18. My mom and I went together on the anniversary of my dad's death. To honor his memory I got a heart with angel wings that says daddy's girl with a banner that has his birth date and death date. The second one I got in March of this year. Its a humming bird on a honeysuckle vine. Its very special to me too. It reminds me of the place way out in the country where I grew up :) No regrets at all. I love them both. The are both bright and colorful. Beautifully done by 2 great artists. I'd have more if I weren't such a baby when it comes to pain Lol!

    A dolphin holding a rose

    1. 2
    2. Both when I was 19
    3. The eye of Ra and the eye of Horus. One on each of my shoulders right at the top.
    4. Kind of. I like them, but the tattoo artist was ****ty and they need to be touched up. And they are slightly annoying 'cuz I have a lot of smart *kitten* friends that will 'poke me in the eye' (or punch) when they can see them. But I could have gotten something a lot worse considering I was just 19! I think I will enjoy them a lot more once my arms are back to normal human size.

    1.Yes - 2
    2. 1st when I was 17 - regret
    3. 1st is of a tigers cub - means nothing to me, so wish I hadn't got it done. On my shoulder blade, very faded - will cover one day.
    2nd is is recent 'Alis Volat Propriis' on my inner arm (means 'she flies with her own wings', incidentally found this on a lady here on MFP, fell in love with it and sums me up to a tee.
    4. Regret the 1st one but LOVE my 2nd one. I want another covering my shoulder blade going down my back but am struggling to find a design and I want another one incorporating my sons name but not sure what it will look like as I don't want it to look like he's died.
