    YUK! hate them why deface a beautiful body with ink..but each to their own!!

    Each to their own indeed. So don't post negative stuff when there's going to obviously be replies from people who have this kind of thing - you'll get instantly disliked.

    Do I care if I get disliked..well no not really! I am expressing an opinion,

    I am not ``selfish or ignorant` or whatever someone posted. My Husband has tats including my name on his leg...do I thin it is nice ...well no not really! I am not trying to put people down I am just saying I think they are not nice...my opinion and I will stick with it..

    If you post a question on a forum then you can expect to have people give you an opinion if you don`t like the answer to other peoples opinions then don`t post ......so dream on if you think I care whether I get disliked or not!

    Yes, you ARE entitled to your opinion. But you also need to understand, this post wasn't asking for opinions, The person that posted it said ,"Lets hear from all those inked folks in MFP cyber space. . . . what kind of tattoo do you have? And whats the meaning? " NOT what is your opinion on tattoos. If you want to start a post about opinions on tattoos, then go make one, saying "YUCK" because someone has tatts is rude and yes it is considered as putting people down. This is supposed to be an uplifting supportive forum, and if you can't do that, then don't say anything .........Have a nice day and I am glad you chose to keep your body pure of tatts. :happy:

    Well, just got my first one on Saturday!

    2evxpig.jpg

    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 Avenged Sevenfold lyrics on my shoulder blade about siezing everyday you go through because it can all end at anytime and it's also a love song for my boyfriend. I have a dove representing love on my forearm. I have a deathbat on my chest for the band Avenged Sevenfold.

    Love Avenged Sevenfold.... drove to Corpus Christi to see them last October and was blown away!

    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

    These are all great guys. Here’s my next question. I have been pushing around the idea of my next tattoo for a few months now. So, I would love you all's input here are my choices:

    1) A Celtic cross with my grandmother's initials and dates (11/4/1926 - 12/21/2007) I was going to use her signature, but her penmanship was horrific and her signature would not tat well.

    2) Butterfly with the body as a purple support ribbon with 07/25/1988 under. Purple is the support ribbon for Transplant recipients, and my mother received her second liver transplant on 7/25/88. She is a miracle.

    3) “The end of one is the beginning of another” My favorite quote EVER!!!!

    Also any ideas where to put them? Thanks guys!

    I am getting my first tattoo in October. It's going to be a couple inches below my wrist, and about an inch tall. Two hummingbirds (not very detailed, since it's so small!) which are very significant in Native American culture (which is part of my heritage). One significance is eternity and devotion- my husband. Another significance is timeless, neverending joy- which I hope to always hold in my life. Also, hummingbirds are a symbol of strength because they are very powerful despite their small size- in my life no one expects me to be strong, but I am stronger than they think.

    I wear wide leather watches, so I will be able to cover it up very easily for work.

    I'll try to upload a picture later, I'm really excited about it =)

    Here are the ones I have so far:

    The two biohazards were my first ones and I got them because Resident Evil is my favorite video game. The two spiders are my take on good/evil, Spider-Man is my hero. You can't really tell from the picture, but the two biohazard symbols have red/blue on them, for Spider-Man.

    These are the names of my nieces and nephew. I plan to keep adding names/birthdates as they're born and will include my own children when I have them.

    I have one more tattoo planned but I'm not sure when I'm gonna get it, I have to save up enough money first. It's gonna be a zombified Virgin Mary. I've been a huge George A. Romero fan since I was little and so the zombie is because of that. The Virgin Mary is because my g/f (future wife) currently has this particular Virgin Mary on her back, so I want to get it so we can have "matching" tattoos.

    I like your ideas and say get all of them...lol

    As for where to put them that is really up to you, not knowing you well does not help me. Because of where I work all of my tattoos are covered or can be covered by clothing. As you can tell by my post of what I have, my family crest are on the same leg to show the two families that created me and my kids are on the left leg. On my back behind my heart is my guardian angel (my bio mom who died after giving birth to me). I do not have any on my chest at the moment due to how my chest is and a tattoo will not look good on me there but that is my opinion.

    Basically you need to find the spot on your body that honors your tattoo in a way that your proud of it. I do not know if what I said is much help but I hope you find the special places to put the tattoos. I think they are all great ideas

    I have one on my wrist. I got it a month after my older brother died.
    It is 3 plumeria flowers (one for each kid me, my older and my younger brother) and his initals through them.
    It is a constant reminder to me of how short life can be and that I need to relax and take it one day at a time.

    Wow.

    I have "Energy" on my inner left wrist and "Work" on the inner right in Tibetan Sanskrit. This is because I am an energy worker as part of my practice. (side note: With the location of these tattoos in the area of wrist "slitting" I wore bandages on them for 2 days and I had several people give me long questioning looks, but noone would ask. )

    I have a sea turtle on my mid back between my shoulder blades. This animal is both my totem animal and that particular one is on my spirit drum.

    Aaaand..

    I have a pentacle on my right calf with a black cat wearing a pointy hat sitting next to a broom with the word "Bewitched" under her. (side note: Have had to inform MANY folks here in southwest missouri that this art has nothing to do with movies starring Nicole Kidman or cheesy 60's sitcoms)

    She was my first and was in honor of me finally allowing myself to cast away fears and truly be a witch.
    Difficult in the bible belt....Just sayin

    And at 10 years (we are currently at 7 My hubs and I are getting wedding rings tatted on)

    I have plans for more, just not sure what they are yet
