Tattoos!

Wow! I need to figure out how to add pics. I have 6.
1, Jimminy the Cricket, for my Grandma, she was granny cricket.
2, A smurf with Angel wings, my nickname is smurf from my dad, and the angel wings are to symbolize me with my grandma, they are next to each other on my right hip.
3, A Martini glass, with an olive as the O and an F on either side, the FOF stands for **** o face, it was a saying my late aunt/godmther said. Her favorite drink was very dry gin martinis.
4. A sun and moon onthe utside of my right ankle, just for fun, I always loved the sun and moon.
5. The great dane Bubba I had as a kid, a rose under him, and his name. He was my puppy, I'd like to get the 2 chows my fioancee and I had on the inside of the left ankle, a rainbow wrapping around all the dogs and "Gone yet not forgaotten all though we are apart you are forever in my heart" above.
6. The newest, a celtic cross, and in the center a claddagh, so I will never forget my love faith and loyalty.

I know I will never be able to get tattoos for everyone I love, but they are always with me.

Figured it out, I think...

And I just have to mention that there are a lot of douche bags on this website...wow...no wonder I stay of these boards!!

Well that's fun?...

I have one on my lower back that is a gaelic design with a heart and my 2 childrens initals...it represents the love I have for them because they mean everything to me.

These will all look great when you're 70.

Well thats fine because there'll be a mighty lot of 70 year old also tattooed.

I thought of this before I got my tattoo-- how it might look terrible when I get older. The tattoo artist I went to said it perfectly. It's really not about how it will look when you get older. It's about having a constant reminder of something meaningful to you. It is more than a picture, an object/material thing, or an experience you may have for just a moment with other things. It is a permanent, personal representation of something in your life that you don't want to forget.

I have a bunch and I plan on getting more. Yes, I realize I haven't explained what, where and why - but I tend to do that often enough in a week. I have them because they look awesome and mean something to me. Simple enough answer.

I currently have 5 tats with plans for more.. (how are you guys posting photos?)

1st - Native American beaded bracelet with feathers on my ankle - For my Native American heritage

2nd - A silhouette of myself doing a dance pose on my shoulder blade. One cousin took the photo, another transformed me into a cat woman - Love of cats & dance

3rd - The Jane Seymour design (open hearts) with love written around the design in four different languages on my left inner wrist. - "Write Love On Her Arm" as well as my different heritages.

4th - The dial on my digital Canon Rebel Xti on my outer right wrist. - love of photography (that's the arm I shoot with)

5th - f/5.6 & 1/250 on the side of my right wrist. - love of photography

Plan to get my first ever camera on my inner right wrist, etc

I am terrified of needles,but got a tattoo from my sisters now ex- boyfriend who does tatts. I have a mixture of stars and music notes on my right ankle. The stars are to remind me of the words to my favorite quote. " It's not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves." and The music notes are because music has gotten me through some of the toughest times in my life and some of which has been a big inspiration to me.

Well, just got my first one on Saturday!



It is the Tree of Life. And although it has many different meanings across religions and philosophies, I'm a humanist and an atheist, so this is a more accurate explanation as to why it's meaningful to me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_life_(biology). The representation of "everything on earth is connected" is really what I love most.

I LOVE THIS! It's gorgeous!

i have a ...

1) 5 and 2 stars w/ teal in them on my left wrist- for my favorite color, shape and number.
2) the word Love on my right wrist- cuz i am in love.
3) a star with teal swirls on my right hip- for my fave color and shape.
4) "Love Never Fails" on my left side under my ribs (one day it will be finished)- Its my favorite quote in the bible from Corinthians. 5) A star colored in black on my right foot- my two best friends and i have the same tat.
6) A Star-gazer Lily on my right chest with stars and lines- My fave flower and shape(it will be finished into a half-sleeve, work in progress!!!)

ok so i forgot one the other day!! ah...my #7 (which was my first one) is on my lower back, its a taurus head with tribal around it! My bday is in may and im a taurus

These will all look great when you're 70.

Ha when you're 70, people usually don't give a crap about they're appearances. They're more worried about cholesterol, blood pressure, dentures, and other aging ailments.

Anyway, I love tattoos, and am thinking of getting one once I hit my midway point of my goal.

When I first started to try losing weight a year or so ago.. I measured once a week inches and pounds. I added up the loss each week and put that much money into my tat fund. Like if you lose .25 inches that's $0.25, etc. good luck!

That's a really good idea! Thanks! Although I think I might have to up the values, tattoos are expensive in Ohio =P
