Your first Tattoo's & the story behind it
Replies

I was 41 years old and just separated from my first husband. I got a very small butterfly on my bottom right of my back. I got it because to me it signified "freedom." I was finally free! All of my tattoos have meanings behind them. I didn't just randomly get them.

My first one is on the top of my right foot. Pretty much takes up all of it. It is the deathly hallows symbol from harry potter with a rainbow paint splatter behind it. I love harry potter. It was such a big part of my childhood and I love color.
My second tattoo is a semicolon symbol on my left wrist. (Google semicolon project) I got it done because I (and many of the people I love and care about) have been through so much and I felt like it fit. I love both of my tattoos. I plan on getting more. my next one will be the simba cave drawing from lion king don't know where yet. 0 -
In college, I always wanted a 4-leaf clover tattoo, but too chicken to get it done. I don't know why a 4-leaf clover - - I just like the color green. About 10 years later, my sister was showing off her newly pierced bellybutton. I mentioned I always wanted a tattoo. So, one Sunday, after church, I left my children with their aunt and went with my sister and then-husband to get'r done!
On my oldest daughter's 18th birthday, she and I went to get her a tattoo - the same one and placement as mine!0 -
I was 16 and got it done in some guys' apartment that my friend knew. He was "supposedly" a tattoo artist. My rose on my hip looked like a prison tat tulip flower. I got it covered up real nice by a real artist when I turned 18. No regrets.0

I got a Tribal Bear tattoo on my right Arm, because bears are my Favorite animals, but also because of the meaning behind it. My mother knows some Native Dialect from the Mayan tribes in Honduras, and well the Bear means brave yet peaceful, pretty much how i am.
Im getting two more tattoos done soon one on each of my forearms.2 -

My first tattoo was Godzilla on my right outer calf when I was in my late 20's. I've always been a huge Godzilla and Japanese monster fan, so I made sure my 1st one was something that was meaningful to me. I now have 14 with a few ideas for some more.1

My first is the symbol for Gemini with vines wrapped around it. I am a Gemini thus the reason for it. I got it when I was 18 and it was a high school graduation/birthday gift from my aunt and uncle.1

My first tattoo I was 2 months shy of my 47th birthday. My tattoo is pink daisies and turquoise lily flowers representing my daughter and son's birth flowers I also have 2 butterflies around the pink daisies representing my 2 granddaughters. Although I now have another new granddaughter I need to add another butterfly. Since then I have a total of 3 tattoos and 3 tattoos the size of a freckle when I had my radiation for cancer.1

A sunflower on my outer left thigh. My grandma passed away when I was 9, but prior to that she helped me win a contest in which I grew the tallest sunflower in my class. She really loved sunflowers. She took care of one in her neighbors yard that was completely trashed because she liked the flower so much. And she used to make cupcakes that were frosted to look like sunflowers.1

My first tattoo was at age 41. (2 years ago) It is a full back piece of Saint Michael the Archangel standing over a defeated Devil with a sword. (It is not finished as I fired my artist, but it will be when I find one I like) I worked as a Police Officer for 17 years and retired without any serious injuries or having to take a life. Saint Michael is the patron Saint of Military and Police. For me personally, I know there are at least a couple of times that I should have either died or been seriously injured and I never even received a scratch. This is my tribute to the triumph of good over evil and on a more personal note, a thank you.4

Got my first one on Wednesday at age 42 - a stag representing the realisation that I have loved running all my life, and still do. I was looking for a reminder and companion, and a slight Scottish twist. And I love it.

I was in college and had been watching a lot of Miami Ink and such on TV during breaks. I had never really thought of tattoos as memorials before that, but after some thinking and designing ended up getting a tattoo on my upper back of a triquetra with lily of the valley flowers in memory of my mother.0

Devil with a Pitchfork on my Chest. No meaning. It was 1974 and I was a drunk Marine in Okinawa.1

I have a Lord of the Rings tattoo. It's the ring verse in Elvish in the middle of my back:
I got it when I was 23, but it was something I wanted it since I was 13. I figured that if I still wanted the exact same thing in the exact same place after 10 years, it wouldn't turn into something I would eventually regret. It's been 3 years, and I haven't regretted it once!
My second tattoo is going to be my reward for reaching my goal weight. I'm probably going to get something on my upper arm. I still have to lose 50 pounds before I need to make up my mind, though.

A few stick-n-poke arrows that I did on my thigh when I was 16 because I was a dumb idiot child.0

My first tattoo was of a treble and bass clef forming a heart on the top of my right foot.
The meaning: My oldest sister and I competed in state competitions in high school on the piano. She wasn't best friend and roll model.
When she turned 18, she ran off with a guy no one liked (he was abusive), and I wasn't able to talk to her for over a year. So the tattoo symbolized the bond we had and our love for the piano. I'll never regret it, and it's still my favorite one!0 -
I was 18 and had been dying to get one since 16. I got heather flowers on my ankle and some Kanji underneath that means "little one," pronounced "chan," as my parents called me Heather-chan growing up (something they picked up after we lived in Japan for a year). I've also got a tramp stamp of a sun and moon kissing (I saw this on a pin in a catalog and liked the design), and I, too, belong to the freckle-tattoo-for-radiation club.0

Mickey and Minnie Mouse outline balloons on my wrist.
45th birthday present to myself. Why Mickey and Minnie? Disney themes make me smile. Now I can glance at my wrist and see a little bit of fun whimsy 1 -
tattoos are dumb2

My first tattoo was last October. My parents are very much against them and kind of threatened to disown us if we ever got one. Well while on a trip with my two best girlfriends I decided to just go for it because I am so straight-laced and never do anything crazy compared to the other two. So I got a tiny lowercase "t" on my ankle with a blue heart for my son. (By the way my mom finally asked to see it a few days later and commented that it was actually pretty cute lol)1

Got my first tat on my 20th birthday, walked like 5 miles to the dang parlor too...
Had wanted a tat for a long time, found what I wanted at 17 but promised myself I'd give it a few years to make sure I'd still like it. Walked up to the parlor with my boyfriend and we both got a tat on that day.
Don't know how to attach pictures but it is a Moonflower that is bright red on the inside and fades to orange then yellow. Red, Orange and Yellow are all associated with my Zodiac sign as is the moonflower.1 -
tattoos, not my thing.2
