    I have the vine all the way down my back with a black tribal scorpion holding on to it.

    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 have in roman numerals my wedding anniversary date (on my wrist), on my lower back I have a shooting star(my "I'm 18 and can do it if I want), on my left foot I have 2 pink footprints for my girls and one blue one with angel wings for our son we lost, and I just got 4 butterfly outlines on my shoulder for all my grandparents and they are all different looking and teh colors are what their birthstones were =)

    LOL I also have a shooting star on my tummy! It was also the "Im 18, I can do what I want!"

    I have a cross with vines and a purple flower in the middle. I want a bunch more. It's an expression of each individuals personality and beliefs!

    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 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

    I second this, go get them all, is there no way you could make them in to one? would save thinking of where to put them all.
    I also have most of mine in places I can cover, but the last one I needed as a visual kick in the *kitten* so it's in full view on my wrist, although it has taken people ages to notice

    Fox on my ankle I got at 16, a lily on my hip when I was 18 with my grandma (she got a butterfly), vines going across me off my lily when I was 20. I want vines going up my side off my lily with both my kids names and my husbands name in them just haven't done it yet :)

    I have two tattoos on my upper left arm: a triskelion which is a cirlce with 7 interlinked spirals. It's celtic and probably has some "pagen" meaning, but I just thought it was beautiful; I also have an armband of celtic knots which I designed myself and thought it would look nice and match with my original tattoo. :happy:

    I have promised myself a new tattoo if and when I reach my ultimate goal (so probably co-incide with my 50th birthday all going well :bigsmile:

    my first tattoo is: DEPLOYMENTTIME141.jpg
    This was my first after i lost 80 pounds me and my sister went to get it together she got the same thing and i wanted it because i love the nautical stars plus it resembles a band we both love.

    cant find a pic of my 2nd which is on my ankle a small sun i always loved sublime and its not the sun like they have cause i wanted something smaller but it resembles it.

    I have 2 more picked out one is a butterfly with a scroll around it to put my kids names in it but i am waiting on that in case we have a 3rd kid.

    My next one though i just thought up and that is going to be a tribute (memorial) for my dad who passed this last November. he was only 65 and he was my everything, the night he passed i saw my first shooting star, and was told when u see one its a passed love one saying they are all right. i plan to do a shooting star and there will be a bigger star on the end with his initials in it.

    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

    True.. :) LoL
