Who in here likes tattoos ?

I have 1 tattoo but want more, best place is up to personal choice, i like to keep mine covered, picture on my profile.

nice tattoo, i have a few mainly on my back too , and a few on my right ankle , i have my tattoo on my back on my profile

me! i have 10 and booked in for no11!

I have both wrists (2 on 1, 1 on other)
Hand
foot
tummy
lower back
shoulder
2 on my neck going down my back

I always said I'd never get tattoos, until I saw shows like Miami Ink and realized that they could make a stencil out of one of my own drawings to tattoo! I now have 3. I made a point of asking if there were specific places I could get tattoos on my overweight body that would have minimal warping if I lost a lot of weight (as I'm currently doing). I have one on the inside of each lower arm, and one on the outside of one of my calves. I also like those places as I can see them on myself, but I can choose to cover them up by wearing 3/4 length sleeves or a 3/4 length skirt.

I have 9. Top of arms, shoulder, legs and feet. I love my feet ones and have bats on one and a broomstick on the other but they were mist definitely the most painful. Ouch.

Two half sleeves on my arms, a large lower back piece, both inner wrists, back of neck, breast, and ankle. They all have a lot of meaning to me and I love to show them. Got my first one when I was 19 and hope to keep getting them until I run out of skin! People always ask me "What will you do when you're 80?" Um, I'll be an 80 year old tattooed lady - got a problem with that?! lol

I have 3 upto now! My favorite is a garter on my thigh. I love it, its hot!

I have 20! I started at age 16 and just kept going. I have them pretty much everywhere-but the most painful was the tops of my feet...and on my back towards my sides.

i have one. right calf. it's a reminder of my first pregnancy (i lost her). I plan to get another one to go with her, which will be her brother.

I'm the firm belief that a tattoo isn't worth getting unless it really means something to you. but that might just be me.

That's an awesome tatt I don't have many...I also want to get one on my upper back soon...& yes it's a matter of personal opinion...I like on the legs back shoulders & arms...I guess what I should've asked is what was your fav' spot to get a tatt?

Least fav spot is lower back. I thought getting my spine tattoo'd hurt but that was like a relaxing massage compared to the lower back....Ouch !

Yes they are addictive, i only went in for the chinese symbols (my daughters name).

For research and idea's a good site is www.checkoutmyink.com profile (aid172)

I'm a huge body modification fan. Have several tattoos and piercings. In fact, I practically LIVE over at bodymod.org.

I have several tattoos planned, but what I have right now, in chronological order, are:

-A sea turtle on my butt, right cheek (first tattoo!)
-A petroglyph sea turtle on my back between shoulder blades
Kanji that says "Patience" on my lower back (yes, it was a tramp stamp before I knew what they were. And yes, it really says patience. Yay for the multicultural-ness of Hawaii!)
-Shamrock with a celtic knot design inside it on right ankle
-Started my back piece, 16 hours of work so far, maybe 5 more to go... It incorporated the turtle and kanji so they're no longer seperate tattoos. It's a memorial for my little sister who passed away in '02. There are 3 koi and a lotus blossom in it so far. Message me and I'll explain the meanings behind it all.
-Lyrics from a NIN song on my right calf "As lost as I get I will find you"

I've got plans for another on my left calf, the start of a sleeve, and a few more for undecided places. I'm not much of a person for spontaneous tattoos. Err, I should rephrase that. Tattoos that are picked off the wall of flash on a whim without any reason. But, that's just me. I *AM* a bit of a snob when it comes to choosing artists, shops, etc, and who I will allow to tattoo/pierce me. After all, it's MY body, I want it to stay safe. No hep C, thanks! LOL

Tattoos can be VERY sexy in my opinion. Even with someone who has a lot... if they are done well, it adds to the attractiveness. But I've seen people with ONE tattoo that was horrible and it was a total turn-off. "Alt Models" are becoming more and more popular and are often portrayed as pin-ups these days. Truth is, I'd prefer them over "normal" models.

If I can ever get someone to do the design I want, I'd have a nice half sleeve (it would be of General Kwan Yu with his Kwan-Dao staff). I dont know what I would have in the "background" other than mist or clouds... but would love cherry blossoms or something along that line. That would be on my left arm. I want a "tribal" dragon design in the form of a Chinese dragon on my right arm, done in an armband.

That being said... getting a tattoo is something serious. You should get a stencil done or a temp tattoo and wear that for a while to see how you like it. And make sure that you have scoped out parlors to find the best artist for what you want to do. Most importantly, make sure that whatever it is you get, has meaning to you, or you'll just end up regretting it later. And you cant completely get rid of a tattoo, so be sure it's what you want.

I have two, and I'm going to get my 3rd when I hit 15 pounds lost. They're from my own drawings.

First was on Halloween last year, the day my wonderful black cat Fergus died. Now he'll always be in his favorite place, on my belly smiling up at me.



I love how his face just peeps up over my waistband when I'm in jeans. I'll love it more when my belly is more toned... (Crappy cell phone pic taken in the mirror then I got my belly button pierced.)



My second was about two weeks later, of a Maneki Neko (Lucky Cat), based on what two of my other cats look like. It's on my calf.



Eventually, I'd either like to get a black one on the other leg, or a Foo Dog drawn to resemble my Pekingese. But next will be a Scottish thistle with my maiden name's family motto under it. I would consider getting our family crest, but it's three boars' heads on a sheild, and I'd like something a little more feminine than a bunch of mean looking piggie-heads. :laugh:

Hahaha, Mr Sharp there knew me back when I was sweet and innocent, with virgin skin...

All of the tattoos I had gotten back in Hawaii was while I was working for a bank. None could be seen. The others I've accumulated can only be seen if I want them to be. Right now I'm working off and on in a friends hair salon. I'll be starting cosmetology school in Sept (financial aid allowing... *crosses fingers*) and working with her full time. She had a sleeve that she hated, because she wasn't very picky about her artist. I came along, we became the best of friends, and I found her an artist to re-work it into something amazing. She's now discussing her other sleeve with that artist.

In our industry, we can look however we want. She and I are our own bosses. What matters is our talent. Well, we'll see if I have any talent or not... :P

I love tattoos! I have 2 ATM, 1 on my left shoulder blade with my 3 oldest children's names & one on my left foot, a ladybug with my youngest daughter's name & DOB. I plan on getting another one on my 30th birthday, a heart with my twin sisters name, our DOB, her DOD, and angel wings. :happy:
