tattoos! who has 'em?

I have six tattoos.

I have a turtle on each ankle, a sun above one of the turtles, a butterfly on my right shoulder, wings/heart with my parents wedding date on my left shoulder, and a flower in between my shoulder blades (see avatar)

Me 4 -

one on my left hip Rose and a Heart

- used to have my Ex -H name under it but now it's covered (tried really hard to find another man name Paul but didn't work our :laugh: )

got that when I was 19 -

right ankle - shooting star - I was 23


Left shoulder a rose - got that like 11 years ago.

I've gone back and forth about the tramp stamp - finally decided against it - my next tatoo around my left wrist - with a saying I picked out and a pink breast cancer ribbon on the inside of my wrist.

I have to wait a little longer they took a lymph node on my left side - so you have to be careful for a couple of years on anything to do with the left side you could end up with Lymphodema (sp?) which swells you limbs - hopefully by my birthday in Aug I could get it done.]

I have my initial on my lower abdomen, don't like it anymore as I picked a bad location and when I gained weight, a big stretch mark ran through it making it ugly. :frown: maybe at goal weight I will have it re-done to disguise it as something new- the shape lends itself to a butterfly- like as in transformation? IDK. maybe-

I'd LOOOOVE to get a four leaf clover on the inside of my left wrist, but I'm afraid of:
1. the pain of that location ( I heard it throbs and hurts badly)
2. judgment from others over a visible tattoo. (school teacher)
:ohwell:

LUCKY -

I have a tattoo on the inside of each wrist. It hurt but it was not that bad and I'm a HUGE baby when it comes to pain. I teach also and you can hardly notice them AT ALL. If you want a 4 leaf clover I think it wouldn't be a big deal. Just don't get a full sleeve!! :bigsmile:

I saw your picture of the heart and the diamond, and was wondering how bad it hurt. how big are they? it's kinda hard to judge from the picture- it seems like maybe the size of your palm? the one I want would be very small- like the size of a dime. so if I wanted for it to be un-seen, I can just slide my watch down and it is concealed. no sleeve for me:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I know tats are getting to be more and more commonplace, I guess its just insecurity that makes me fret about someday losing out on a job or other opportunity because somebody judges me for it.

Okay...OMG.. I Princess Aurora! She's my favorite princess!

The diamond is the bigger one and it's about 2in x 2in. I think you will definitely be okay with the little clover. Bracelets and watches work perfectly as a cover. Long sleeves too! :bigsmile:

I work in a school and at a physical therapy clinic with a lot of old people and I've never had any problems with it. They usually like it. :laugh: I'm in so cal though so it's tolerated a little more than most places.

i want my next one to have the number '82' in colour with some stars around it maybe, i was born in 82 and am also hoping to lose 82 pounds! lol have lost 51 so far, really want to get there

i havent been a healthy weight in so long, that i want to get a tatt to represent my journey and to have something to remind me how far i have come

any1 got any ideas for a tatt like that? :flowerforyou:

I drew Forghorn Leghorn on my arm with a Bic Pen.

I was in Vegas one time and this lady came up to me and asked if I had drawn the hearts on the back of my shoulders with a sharpie pen. :huh: :noway:

This says something very deep about your personality.

I have 3.... 2 with butterflies, representing the changes that I went through at that time, and 1 a rose with my, 1st daughters name under it. that was about 8 yrs ago. Now I have a 3yr old little girl who might feel bad when she gets older if I don't put her name on me too. I really am past the tatto phase of life, but I might have to do it again anyway.

~*~*~Several here too!......I have a gecko that trails up my left lower leg, my initials intertwined together on the lower part of my neck, my soon to be ex hubbys cattle brand on my right hip.....(yeah that one is GONE soon!) and if it counts....I have my eyeliner tattoo'd on too!......
I'm ready for a butterfly on the back of my neck soon and of course the cover up!......

how was the eyeliner? how long ago did you have it done? I see these adds for a new procedure that is suppose to be painfree and less recovery time.
