itching for a new tat

me too me too! Just unsure of the desired location.

I took a picture of an anchor to my artist and next thing I know I am walking out with one that looks nothing like the picture and its now part of a half sleeve. I love it so much. I refuse to go to anyone but her. I think I found the original picture by just Googling ideas, but I agree with the others about Pinterest. Good luck!

I like the tats. I like ones that are oiginal and personal. If I see another tribal this or old english that, I will flip. Unless you have some sort of historic connection that relates to tribal markings, seriously, what's the point? I know it's all in personal preference but I do like to have a story when someone asks me "Why?" or "What does it mean?" The classic pin-up is definitely a great look, and obviously you like to sail. Looks awesome. Just need to find that next aspect of my life to put on there. My wife and I both agreed to not put each other's name on our bodies. Still thinking....ugh. It's all about the inspiration to find an image that is me. The struggle.

Oh no! What did you have that you want to get removed? I am hoping to never have that happen.

Tattos look great on others, I don't think I would look good with a tat. I'm probably too self-conscious.

tattoos are not for everyone and if you decide to get one, you will know it when you see the right image or picture in your head. Just has to be about you. If you are proud of the tat and what is stands for, you won't be self-conscious about it for long. Best of luck!

I would consider myself a tattoo enthusiast, lol I have some big pieces and totally have the itch for more. I get inspiration from pinterest and instagram quite often, especially instagram. I follow alot of local and global tattoo artists who are always posting sketches of work they are dying to put out. Hope you share what you get with us!! I have some pics of mine up, if you wanna check it out

Ok, I was going to throw my pics up but apparently can't find a way to do it. Oh well.

Oh no! What did you have that you want to get removed? I am hoping to never have that happen.

It's just an open heart on my inner forearm, about the size of 2 quarters side by side. It's not offensive or anything, but I got it when I was 17 during a ~rebel~ phase and it's just not me anymore. It's not enough for me to drop $$$$ to get it removed (it would be about $900 probably) but if I could go back I wouldn't have gotten it.

Pinterest and Google images are good inspirations. Just think of something you'll love forever and look up images or work with a tattoo artist to create a design.

For me, I worship the sun and that's going to be my next tat. Just need to figure out the exact design. Good Luck!

I am hoping to give myself three things for my birthday in June...

#1. Meet my final goal and transition to lifelong maintenance (a girl can dream right??)
#2. A divorce
#3. A feminine phoenix or orobouros tattoo...I'm thinking 2-3" on my ribcage under my left arm

I love the pheonix idea! The rebirth from death. I am a June Birthday too!

Nothing personally against tattoos, but what happens if you shrink with loose skin, or get wrinkly with age? I ask because some of the guys I once worked with where having them removed in their late fifties and early sixties. Ex sailors with anchors etc.
