    I have a black tribal skeleteton style dragon on my left shoulder
    On the right shoulder I have a celtic crow
    There will be a third one on the back, once I have lost the weight and completed the design ^^

    I have a butterfly on my outer right calf, just above my ankle bone. To me, it means "freedom" (from many things). Would like another someday but haven't decided what and where. :flowerforyou:

    I've got 2, the first I got at 26 and was designed from a necklace I had, its a Celtic Heart, for my Celtic roots (Irish) and also to show symbolising strength after I went through a particularly bad time with an ex

    My second was done when I was 35 at the bottom of my back and I'd seen Victoria Beckham with a similar one and loved it. Now that I have kids, I like to think of it as me looking over my 2 children

    I'd love to get my children's names on the inside of my wrist in arabic or something, but hubby's not keen and my mother would have a fit!! She still only thinks I have one and I'm now 39, lol!!!

    so where would be a good place to get one, i was thinking upper right/left back would be alright. And the pain? on a scale of 1-10 how bad is it?

    A winged fairy on my upper left boob at the tender age of 36. Got it in Panama City in a former life. She's kind of blurry now, but she is a part of me.

    I have the words "Together we will be... One day" on my left side wrapped around my ribcage - A lot of people mistake this for me not letting go of a past boyfriend or love interest.... The actual significance is for my father who passed away when I was 17.

    I am not a believer in God as such however I do think there is some sort of afterlife no matter who is materialises. With a lot of things unsaid and unexplained by my father I struggled for quite some time in letting go as I never really go to say goodbye. Every time I would get upset about thing my ribs would ache which is the significance of the position of the tattoo and the words i decided upon so that I could move on. I figured, one day, somehow, I will see him again and I can ask as many questions as I need to.

    I also have 2 others, one is Paraiso which means Paradise in Spanish & my third is “Dream as if you’ll live forever, Live as if you’ll die today”

    Feel free to add me if you need any inspiration :)

    Anywhere that there is bone where the skin is thin is pain full as the vibrations from the tattoo gun make your bones shake. "Fattier" parts of the body aren't tooo bad.

    Go for somewhere that you have chose for a reason so it has more significance.

    either of those could look good, what would you think of getting?

    I just felt it as if someone was scratching my skin, it didn't really hurt too bad, but then I suppose it depends on your pain threshold too

    "Together we will be... One day"

    Both of mine are to honor people who have/will pass into the skies; whilst people see my cherry tattoo as for girls only or too cliche, I know that it means in my heart. This is incredible, if I wasn't broke, I'd stick it on my neck.

    I'll start. I just got this tattoo in the summer and it is a Union Jack inside a Maple leaf. I was born in England but moved to Canada when I was young. It's on the back of my neck, and it looks much larger in the photo than it really is lol (hope the pic shows up)

    I am planning on getting two swallows on my left foot each representing my parents, as they mean love, loyalty, and 'coming home safely' my dad died when I was 17 and I think he's gone home safely to god and the word 'Indelible' on my right food which means unforgettable

    I have wings on my back with FLY in the middle. I got it during a really depressing time of my life. FLY stands for Forever Love Yourself. For me it was the first step into making changes in my life to learning to love myself when others brought me down.

    I plan to get an owl on my ankle in May after my graduation for my bachelors degree.

    Once I get my goal weight I want a blue lotus on my thigh. I want some words too as a reminder of the path I traveled to get where I have goten and that it is a positive change. Not sure exactly what though.
