Does anyone have a tattoo?

Great butterfly!!

I was terrified of getting one as everyone had told me it hurt like crazy, as I wanted it just above my ankle it was supposed to be one of the most painful spots aswell! I sat there and the Tattoo artist said he would start slowly and first let me feel what it was going to be like! Well he started and I looked at him and said "Oh! is that it?" and it was fine, not a problem just a light stinging feeling. I know other people who get there in the same place though and said it nearly killed them so I don't know whether I just have a higher pain tolerance or fat ankles lol!

Bundy, don't be ashamed of your Woodstock. He's really cute! And like Colby said, it is personal to you and reflects a part of you. That's what counts.

I have a kind of silly one, too. I have vampire bites on my chest. I love vampire books, movies, folklore and they seemed so sexy. Actually, when I was going to the Goth club all the time and was wearing some major cleavage outfits, they did help me pick up a guy or two. I won't share a pic of those, though. Y'all can use your imagination.

I would really love to get more, but the finances get in the way for me too. I want something Eqyptian, either hyroglyphs of the gods or the Wings of Isis. I would love to get that either as an ankle bracelet (hyroglyphs) or at the base of the back of my neck (Isis). I would also love to get a butterfly, because my mother loved butterflies. She said she was going to get a butterfly tattooed on her rear end when she turned 50, but she never did. After her mastectomy, she considered having implants/reconstruction. They told her that they tattoo the color on the right spots, and she asked them in all seriousness if she could get butterflies there instead. LOL She was quite a woman.

Neither of mine hurt bad, but I got mine on real fleshy parts of the body. If they hurt that bad, would we all want more?

Airprincess - don't be embarassed about changing your mind! One of the beautiful things about life is that we CAN change our minds!

Leslie - Richard Bach is one of my favorite authors. Have you read any of his other books? I LOVED "One."

I don't have any tatoos - it's not something that I ever really thought about. But hubby does. On his right arm is a bunch of army stuff, some viking stuff (Mjollnir - Thor's hammer), and an anti-evil eye charm or whatever. On his right arm is.... a BIG statement (Yeah!) - kind a cutsie for a guy, I guess, but he was inspired to do it, and I love it!!!

BTW Leslie - there is a lot of beautiful artwork here, but Woodstock IS so cute - it seems so you, and I LOVE Snoopy, Woodstock & the gang! Gary's best friend from grade school (was a guitar player for a while) has a tatoo of bugs bunny with a fender guitar and a speaker.... it's very cutsie for a guy, but I like it!

So I guess what I meant to say is that while I have no tatoos and never considered much about it, I enjoy tatoos on other people!

Yes I loved that too! and thanks for your comments and bugs bunny with a fender guitar and a speaker sounds so cool! Bye the way if you did decide to get one what would it be? hehehe!

I'd get a non-color one. It'd be a "bracelet" on my left arm - probably celtic design with "GARY" worked into it on the topside.

I bet it'd hurt like heck on the bottom side of my wrist!!!!

I have two tatts. One on either shoulder blade, right side is a black panther crawling up and the left side is a black panther crawling down. They're pretty big, maybe 11 to 12 inches each. Too bad I don't have any pics to share. **sighs**

I'm learning so much about everyone here....it's amazing!

Ok everyone, drinks and tattoo sessions over at my place this Friday...say 7:30?

I would love to get one or two one day...but so far I've been too chicken...hehe
Maybe a small panther...or a pentagram...or a celtic design...hmmmmm...decisions!

Ah Mate come on.......I'll go with you and we can get them done together!

eeeep!!

I have a secret for getting mine done. The older you get, the more it seems to hurt, but my boss gave me this wonderful stuff called emla cream. It is only by prescription in the US, but you can get it otc from Canada. It makes it feel like someone is touching you, but is painless. I thought he was kidding when he told me it would work that way. There is no way I would have sat through the 16 or so hours I already have done on my back without it. Yes, I admit it, I am a big wuss! If anyone in the US is interested in ordering it, BMEshop.com is where I order mine from.

yes I have a tattoo of a cat all post a link to it soon.

THIS is A LINK TO SEE MY TATTOOO

Here it is. I really need to get it touched up, but haven't had the money for someone new to work on it (my artist died about 4 years ago ). If you know the designs (NIN from Sin and Rosetta Stone's cover art) you can see it, but otherwise it just looks like an abstract tribal.

(Told you I would post a pic Bundy! :tounge2: )

I have a small tattoo on my left arm. It's the arrow that symbolizes Sagittarius. I'd post a pic, but my digital sucks so much that all I have taken have turned out blurry. Thought about getting a 2nd when Colby got her musical notes, but the place didn't have what I was looking for.....

I've played with the idea, for years and never did it. My ex hated tattoos and loved long hair. My hair has been collar-length, for the past year-and-a-half and I'm pricing tattoos.

My best cat, ever, was Peanut, a white shorthair. I have some really good pictures of him and I'm looking for an artist, who can replicate him on my left shoulder blade.

Bill has a fat imp, on his upper arm. He won't tell me the story behind that. He just says, "I was a crazy SOB, when I was a kid."
He says that he wants to go with me, when I get it done. I can stand a lot of pain but, it will be nice to have him hold my hand.

Eventually, I'd like to have a discreet rosebud, in my cleavage. I have to be able to cover these up, for future jobs and I'm not sure that I want my mother to know.
