    1. Do you have any, and if so, HOW many?
    I have 8 in total. One is huge though, and I will have about 12 hours in it when it's done!!
    2. When did you get it/them?
    Got my first one the day I turned 18!!
    3. What did you get?
    Tramp Stamp (yuck), my kids names, my husband's name, a butterfly, two more that I hate, and the big piece I'm getting now.
    4. Any regrets?
    Yup, the two I hate, lol. I have them both covered now!! I'm also not a HUGE fan of my tramp stamp, which is why I had all the names added to it later on, so I wouldn't hate it as much. So now it's bearable, and it helps that it's on my back so I don't have to look at it.

    1) 4 in total but will be getting more
    2) Got inked periodically over the last 17 years - i feel old now!
    3) I have a small loveheart, large tribal angel, large blossom tree and some latin as a tramp stamp
    4) Only the heart, i got this done illegally at the age of 14 and its on my chest, unfortunately gravity has not been all to kind to me so my tiny little heart ends up looking like an elongated triangle when i take my bra off, i am in the process of designing a tattoo to cover this

    Got it in august
    Says, "Do you suppose you're a wildflower?" It's an Alice in Wonderland quote - It's my inspiration - I want to be a wildflower - beautiful and fierce.
    Only regret was getting it the day before going on vacation with my boyfriends family and not being able to wear a bra the entire time because it was healing

    1. yes. Just the one for now.. still waiting for hubby to get his first one so I won't feel so guilty about wanting another one LOL
    2. I got this one Aug, 2006 with a good friend of mine. One of those "I've always wanted to do this" things.. and the artist worked the design out with me over the course of a week so it was completely planned.
    3. It's a custom Cheshire cat image (Alice In Wonderland- animated) that my tattoo artist designed with me. Lots of purple and black. I'll post a pic on my page when I get the chance. I've been wanting to anyway lol.
    4. My only regret is that it's not quite as visible as I'l like it. It's on the outside of my left calf so while wearing shorts, it's great.. but in the cold months, it's completely hidden. It is kind of big (about 5" high I guess) and doesn't look very good when I wear skirts. I tend to wear long skirts or dark pantyhose anyway. Of course on the flip side of that, I can hide it easily too.

    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.

    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. 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!
