    3. Tree of life on my left shoulder (see profile for pic). If I explain why, I sound like a hippy, but it has to do with the cyclical nature

    yggdrasil - I knew that right away because I am Norwegian. :) Very cool!

    Thats cool! I didn't know it had a Norse analogue although it doesn't surprise me. Seems to exist in some form or another in a lot of cultures. I only just found out that it is an ash tree - which makes a of of sense.

  • Yes- 15 plus my entire back

    Over the past 7 yrs

    Everyone has their first tribal tattoo (yes, I know..lol), several stars, a hooker fairy (again, I know..I was 18! Don't judge!!) some musical things and my entire back is a bunch of characters from Tim Burton movies. Beetlejuice, 9, Nightmare Before Christmas, Charlie and the Chocolate factory, Alice in Wonderland and Sweeney Todd. Eventually I'll have my arms done, one will be mostly Nightmare and the other will be a lot of Batman and Corpse Bride (yes, even though Burton didnt do that one, it plays in perfectly and is one of my favorite movies!!)

    Only regret is not doing my research for my 1st and second tattoo. The artist that did the first two, was really high and/or drunk and actually changed the drawing of the second one, instead of following the sketch he showed me before hand. Now, I've got a whorish fairy lol

    1. Do you have any, and if so, HOW many?

    I have 5 but have been tattooed 9 times. I had a couple added to and some redone

    2. When did you get it/them?

    I got my first 1 about 18 years ago and my most recent one was done this past Sept.-Nov (took 3 sittings)

    3. What did you get?

    1 - a moon with a shooting star with ivy around it that wraps around my ankle and a lady bug, 2 - a frog on the top of my foor with an anklet tattooed around my ankle that had a dragonfly pendant that is dangling by the frog...looks like he is kind of hunting it. 3 - lillies on my left shoulder with 2 japanese symbols...1 meaning son and the other daughter...has some scrolling designs around it. 4 - a Canada leaf on my lower left side of my back with "made in Canada" around it. 5 - my biggest piece...3 roses with 2 pendants hanging from them and a butterfly that goes from the top of my right shoulder down my back to my right hip.

    #6 will hopefully be done this spring and it will be a family tree with several paw prints of the animals in my life. This one will continue from my hip down my right thigh.

    4. Any regrets?

    Nope, not a single 1!

    1. 2

    3. Left ankle:

    Left wrist:
    kingdomtatt_zps6e25a0c2.jpg
    And I have a plan for MANY more (Sephiroth's wing on my back, Zanarkand Abes symbol on my upper left arm, a tonberry on my foot, a chocobo on my right ankle, a cactaur on either my right foot or wrist, maybe a Griever necklace, maybe a L'cie tatt (done being a nerd now)) :3
    4. Any regrets? My moogle, I regret moving because it made my pompom crooked (on the other hand, if I was a moogle, it'd be all kinds of jank) And for my heartless emblem, there's a few things messed up, but nothing that can't be fixed with a touch-up.

    I got my pink turtle outline between my shoulder blades on my 18th birthday

    Four leaf clover on my left ankle when I was 19

    Shooting stars going in a circle all different colors on my lower back when I was 21

    No regrets.

    A crucifix on my lower right arm.
    Upper left arm:
    *Mandala flower
    *Tea cup with roses
    *Hearts, roses, and banners with parents name
    *Pink/Purple cassette tape
    *Thing one and Thing two with my kids' names
    *Fishing bobber with hook and line.
    I also have a pink bow on my sternum. That one was extremely painful but it's beautiful.

    I have 2. I got them over the last 2 years. One is a black outline of the 4 flowers that represent my little family, one for each of us. That one is on my ankle. On my foot I have a Celtic tree of life, for my Irish Dad who is also a transplant recipient. I love both of them. I can't wait until summer when I can go back to flip flops and show them off again.

    1. I have two.
    2. I got one when I turned 19 and the second one 2 months before I turned 20.
    3. My first tattoo is a star that is "sewn" on to me. The second one is a rose with a caterpillar and butterfly, it was to show my change in life after losing 50pounds.
    4. I regret none of them. They're different and no one has the same ink as me. My body is a temple and I shall decorate it as much or little as I want.

    I'm planning my third one right now. Hoping to get in within the next month. :)

    None. Spent 20 years in the Navy and never ever wanted one. Personally I feel they detract from a person's looks, although I must admit that some are quite artistic.

    Have you ever seen some of those tats after 30 years? :sick:

    1. Do you have any, and if so, HOW many? One
    2. When did you get it/them? 2005, I was 47 at the time, on our first trip to Aussie.
    3. What did you get? A rose in bloom on my right ankle. I lived in a small town and was seeing a counselor. She said I was like a flower in bud waiting to bloom.
    4. Any regrets? Absolutely none!!! I've had to have the colour retouched since but I love it as much as I ever did!

    And the funniest part of it was when my son came home sporting one gargoyle at the top of one arm with plans for the other arm a couple of weeks later. "You never said anything", "Well I didn't think I needed to seeing as how u already have one!" Touche LOL
