  • I have 3. A German Flag on the left shoulder blade as my Dad's side of the family is German. I have the Austrian Flag on the right shoulder blade as my Mom's side is Austrian.

    My 3rd is a Teutonic Knight (I am Catholic and love Germanic medieval era knights) and it is also from my favorite game, Age of Empires II. LOL

    I have four. A rose on my ankle; a rose in a heart just above my heart; a blooming rose on my lower back-right side; and finally, the odd one out, I have an ambigram that reads Karma with an Ohm on each side. That one is on my inside right wrist.

    I love all of my tattoos because they each represent a different point in my life. Yes, they are mostly roses, but that is because I always wanted roses, no one would give them to me, so I put them on me. LOL They are my birthmonth and my favorite flower. :)

    I have 6.

    One on my upper back that is my children's names woven together.
    One on my lower back that is a unicorn my daughter picked out for me.
    One on my right ankle that is the Chinese symbol for love with my husband's initials.
    One on my left forearm that is the Chinese symbol for longevity and prosperity. My husband has a matching one.
    Two on my right foot. One is a panda bear and the other is a moon and star.

    I have 4 more planned out. Gotta pace myself though so I don't bankrupt us :laugh:

    I have one on the back of my right hip it says "La famiglia e tutto" which is family is everything in italian and a shamrock is right next to it. My fam. is both Irish & Italian & I got it at a time when I realized that my family really is everything, and all the other people come and go.
    I'm also planning on a new one which I want in white ink on my wrist or forearm that says "Here & Now" because I have a hard time of focusing on the moment and worry too much about the future or past :)

    I am booked in for number 10 at the end of May.
    I have a sun, a moon and a star - all with faces. (Middle of my back at the top)
    I have a planet type thing and one representing the cosmos. (Top right arm)
    I have a banner with my late brother's name on it. (top right arm)
    I have a squiggle (bottom of my back)

    I'm booked in to have Rodin's Thinker.

    :ohwell:

    None of them can be seen in normal clothing.
  • None yet. I really want a particular literary quotation and a small bird below/above it on the top of one foot and a few lines of lyrics from a song with something small - maybe a sun, undecided - above/below them on top of the other foot, but so far I've been too wussy to go for it.

  • I don't know anyone IRL who's had it done, so can any of you seasoned tattoo veterans :wink: give me an idea of just how painful it is to get a tattoo on the top of your foot? I've heard "really, really painful" elsewhere online, just curious about what others' experiences here were like. Thanks if anyone cares to share!

    I have five - all circles and all ones I've drawn. I have a sixth (and final) one in the queue but it hasn't come together yet. It's been something I've been lightly thinking about over the last six years or so :blushing: (the last one I got was about seven or eight years ago).

    I like the ideas of words but I am kind of a typography weirdo so just choosing that is difficult enough! :sick:

    I have 4 tattoos.

    Fairy on the outside of my rigth ankle.
    Stars on the top of my left foot.
    Kanji symbol for strength on the small of my back
    Kanji symbol for naughty with a girl leaning over it holding a flogger on the back of my beck.

    I have a quote my dad used to say that I want on my left shoulder in a spiral design in memory of him. I'd also like tattoos for my kids (just have 1 daughter now), but not sure what to get that doesn't look tacky.

    i have one really big one on my lower back. it's was done in several visits though. it started out as one big star with the words "anam cara" in them which means "soul mate" in gaelic (the irish language). I then had two more stars added on either side (so on the back of my hips). I then had two skulls put in on either side of the main star with anam cara in it and then had roses added to the bottom. i got it in memory of my best friend who died when we were 16. I waited until i was 19 and had been married a year before i got it. i wanted to make sure it was EXACTLY the way i wanted it.
  • Currently I have 3. One on my upper right arm for one of my best friends who is like a brother to me and helped me through an extremely difficult time recently. That one says "I" then has a red, blue and green heart with the first 2 letters of his first name under the heart. We thought that we might take things farther then friends but he had to move to Brazil to help his dad. The second one is on my left shoulder for my very first husband who was murdered less then 9 months after we got married. That one is a turquoise(his favorite color) dragon wrapped around a celtic cross with the celtic knot in the center. It has the year he was born on the horizontal cross points and the year he was murdered on the vertical cross points. Then I had his name put down the left side of it with the letters A.K.A. under the cross and his nickname down the right side of it. The third is on my right shoulder and is of a Bald Eagle with its wings spread holding a heart with a ribbon wrapped around it. The top part of the ribbon has my dads date of birth and date he died in it and the bottom of it says "RIP Daddy". I want to get more. I want to connect the two on my shoulders together by a ribbon that will be tinted yellow and will say "Gone But Never Forgotten" and will have 5 thinner ribbons hanging off it with a smaller tattoo on each of those ribbons for other people I have lost in my life.

    Just two for now: My maiden name, which sounds more like a lyric to a song and no one ever believes is my maiden name.... lol

    and a duck in water, I am OBSESSED with duckies and I got an evil looking duckie to represent my husband.

    The plan is to get 4 little duckies lined up behind it, you know, so I can have "all my ducks in a row" haha
    2 will have baby blue sailor hats, 1 a pink sailor hat for my sons and daughter, and the 4th will have a halo with angel wings to represent the baby we miscarried. :heart:
