Once we get all our ideas together, we're just going to take it to a tattoo artist we know here in town and let him try and design something for us. Can't wait!!
Oh that will be fun!

I found some pics of Pawprints that I want, so now I just have to wait to get paid and off I go!
I'll for sure post pictures as well

It's so cool to see everyone's tattoos - it shows a lot of personalities!

I got mine quite a few years ago (probably about 7 or 8 actually!) and is representative of my family...and my place within the lineage. (Click on picture for larger image.)

I actually didn't find it to be all that painful. There were a few times it hurt over parts of my spine, but for the most part the adrenaline kicked in and took over. They are addicting but I've managed to keep myself to only this one. So far.

Some pretty tattoos here, especially like the cat line art and the cat+book one!

I'm more of a simple kinda girl... Not really into bright clashing colours. I don't think I'd ever get one 'cos I'm so indecisive and would end up hating it after a while!

That's what I'd heard, but I have a banner up my spine which took three hours and I was fine! This is it. It's my favourite, I got it when I left my husband and it means a lot to me (they haven't come out as clear as they actually are!)



This is the one on my ankle which you can't see well but it's an energy spiral - signifying the magic of the cycle of life and reincarnation. It's from Arthurian legend.



The one on my upper left arm hurt the most and it's tiny! But it was my first one too and done in a pretty scary situation so I think that was probably why it felt like it hurt more...

Max has a couple, including an incredible one of a robot on his forearm, I'll have to see if he'll let me take a pic of it - he's very protective of copyright on this tattoo as it was designed especially for him.

Those are awesome! I love the Energy Circle one on your ankle!


My best friend just got a cross on her foot the other night when I got my cartlidge pierced- and she said it didnt hurt at all, and it didn't bleed either!
I plan on getting my next one in a few weeks on my foot!

those are SO cute.. I really like that. I"m considering pawprints - not one sthat look quite like that (I'd never get an exact copy of someone else's tattoo) but something similar.. I'd like them on my feet tho - my friend got her feet tatooed and it looks really nice.. I'd like mine in the same place hers are - but of pawprints

Awesome


They're just standard paw prints that I've seen like everywhere on the web
I had a hard time deciding where to put them as I already have 7 tattoos but I think I'm happy with my choice.

The tattoo is cute!

I have two tattoos...one on my lower back (OMG...PAIN!!!), and one that covers the entire top of my right foot...this didn't hurt as bad as the spinal tattoo. It's like a burning (often sharp), hot, scatching sensation. That's the only way I can describe it. If there's any way you can use "Tattoo Goo" lotion on it (you can order it online), do it...it's the best tattoo lotion EVER.

ahhhhhhhhh really?? The other guy at the tattoo shop showed it to me but I usually just use neosporin/lotion. It was $10 and I didnt think I wanted to pay $10 for it when I could use other things



angel that is a very cool tat

thanks to everyone who said nice stuff about mine... i really like it. since we found the cat drawing online, it's not really a copyrighted design, but it is custom, which i like - no one else has one exactly like it!
