Tattoos!

I just got my 2nd tattoo. I am loving it. It's my own design that took me 3 months to work on. I got it for sentimental reasons. Short reason: I believe a dragonfly is my grandfather in angel form, looking out for me when I needed it most. the real detail is much longer, lol.

Here's photo's if anyone's interested

Do any of you have tattoos? If so, what/where are they and why did you choose the design?

wow, they're beautiful! I love the cat on the back of your neck Your brother did a great job!

I'd love to see your tattoo when you get it done!

My tattoo does have a sentimental value to me. 3 years ago, I got laid off from work. I picked up a security job in the city.. which was THE WORST JOB EVER!! After a year of sending resumés, calling, filling out application, I didn't get a single phone call. I was feeling really depressed. I cried a lot and was almost to "That point". Till one day, walking in the city at 3 am to get to my crappy security job, a dragonfly comes and lands on my shoulder. it sits with me on my walk. Strange, a dragonfly in the middle of NYC? eh. I get to the building, it takes off. hours later, I get 2 phone calls, asking me for an interview. so yay! I go on these interviews, and they both tell me I am too overqualified. Again, I feel depressed and "to that point". a week later, again, a dragonfly comes along in the city on my way to work, keeping me company. Hours later, I get 2 phone calls from the same 2 people I interviewed with, saying I was hired! I chose a job that felt right and I love it.

I told my sister this story, and she strongly believes the dragonfly was my late grandfather in his angel form, looking out for me, to provide me comfort and to tell me things will turn around soon. It made sense to me, and now, I have my grandfather in his angel form on my shoulder, where he sat in my dark days. I have him angled out to where he's looking out.. as in looking out for me.

the back must've hurt! I love sun tattoos

Feralvr & SukiSal, I'd love to see your tattoo when you get it! Or at least the design ideas

It's never too late to join the party! I love the flowers! Nice!

My first is a "Dragon"fly tattoo I designed when I was in high school. The body of a dragon (which looks like a seahorse to some people) with dragonfly wings. waited like 5 years before getting it done. The tattoo is pretty blurry already, it needs to be touched up. I'll have to take a pic soon.
