    This one was my first (2003). It's the logo of my favorite band, Bad Religion. Took about 40 minutes, it wasn't too bad... some spots were a little painful.

    My next one is my favorite out of the two. This one I had been sitting on the idea for years and after searching for an artist who could visualize my idea I was golden. I wish I could draw... I could have had this one done much sooner. It was done in 2010 and took about 2 hours I think. I wasn't really keeping track of time but it was a while. The pain wasn't too bad again, some spots hurt and others tickled.

    Still can't wait to get my next one... I already have it envisioned, just need to find an artist who can make it come to life and lose some weight (its a goal tattoo)

    I have a few, well maybe more than a few :ohwell: lol first one was a Celtic Zooamorph 3 cats in a knot form circle right leg done in Victoria BC, then came the big Gothic dragon lower back tramp stamp hahah Victoria BC, then a Celtic knot back of my neck done in Ontario, then a Celtic dagger with knot work left shoulder blade done in Nova Scotia see a pattern here ?? now it changes up a Compass rose behind the world and an anchor with the longitude and latitude where my Dad's ashes were sent to sea on right leg, also done in Nova Scotia then came Sailor Sparrows on my upper chest collar bone, done in San Diego as well as Nautical Stars , then came free style Hawaiian turtles riding waves 3 of them done of course in Waikiki Hawaii right lower leg onto th top of my foot..... AND I do not recommend getting the top of your feet done, looks COOL but wow not pleasant , then cupcakes done on my lower arm's wrists area, one pirate and one Hippy, AKA hippysailor done back again in Victoria BC, and to my dismay got the itch again .....
  • I just got my 4th tattoo last week! My first one is the japanese symbol for love, and it is on my right calf. My next one is on my back (before they called them tramp stamps!). My third one is two hearts entertwined on my left breast (the image is from my wedding invitation), and my last one that I just got last week, is on my right rib cage, a scroll design to match the one on my back. I'm going to have to get pics of them all and post them later this week.

    Love looking at everyone's tattoos! I'm going to add to the japanese symbol on my leg. I know what I want, just gotta find the right way to describe it and put it on paper!

    only one for now. No pain, puking, nothing except a strange sense of relief and a feeling of release. Got it when I started my weight loss journey on my birthday.

    This is my peacock. He's a handsome fellow. :) I've got plans for my legs next. I love getting tattooed.

    Edited to add: He's about 50 hours worth.

    THIS is one of the most eautoful tattoos I have ever seen

    It is really gorgeous...I had a dream about this tattoo last night, lol
  • Haha! Really? I hope it wasn't a scary dream!!
  • i have a firefly lighting bug how ever u want call it and a clover i want more just dont know what yet
  • I have two right now. Would have twenty if they weren't so freaking expensive. My reward to myself for my 3rd mini goal (which I will reach in just over 5lbs!) is to get another tattoo. Been saving up. My first tattoo was just a design I saw that I loved. My second is a Celtic tree of life to symbolize my Irish background. I plan to get one for all of the different heritages that make me! The next one is a sugar skull, I can't wait since it will be my first one with color. I love tattoos!!!

    Most of the pics are kinda bad and were taken shortly after getting them but here are mine.

    Right now I only have one. I have the Big Dipper on my left foot. I already have two more in mind, but want to wait until I reach some major weight loss goals. I really want three forget-me-nots entwined on my upper back in the middle and part of Psalm 23 on my right wrist.

    It's not finished yet, because I'm broke right now, but here are some progress pictures.
    this is the outline
    200283_208898125790413_100000106816290_883374_940336_n.jpg

    and here I have some color (taken on my cell phone)
    271103_253465094667049_100000106816290_1157904_3323588_n.jpg

    and this is what I want it to look like when it's done
    197285_208897862457106_100000106816290_883363_5269228_n.jpg

    I saw the painting in an art magazine and I loved it. I love the color and the uniqueness of it. I know it's not something everyone will like, but I've gotten a lot of comments on it since I've had it done. Also, it looks a little weird as just the outline because I didn't want it outlined in black because I think it'll look better when it's done and more like the picture without a black outline.

    Hope the photos actually post!

    My next tat will be on Valentine's Day and it will be in memory of my beloved black lab who passed away this passed October. I was going to get the tat for her birthday yesterday, but I am running low on cash right before Christmas. My boyfriend got her for me for our first Valentine's Day, so that date still holds significance for her. I'm thinking about getting it on my foot or on my back. Next will be Tui and La, the yin yang koi fish. I also want to turn my left arm into a sleeve, but that will have to wait until I finish college and get employed somewhere.

    I'm hopefully getting my first tattoo in 2012
    I want loads.

    I'm dead picky with artists though, most of the ones I like are either abroad (Peter Aurisch, Thomas Hooper,Eckel,Uncle Allan) or all the way in London and have stupidly long waiting lists to boot (Xam, Antony Flemming, Tutti Serra) ahh

    I'm hopefully gonna save up a bit and get some work done by Peter Aurisch next year i'm in love with his style of tattooing.

    the writing photo was cut off but it says

    " For the sword outwears its sheath
    and the soul wears out the breast
    For the heart must pause to breathe
    and love itself have rest"
