I have 2, an ankle bracelet thats a thorny vine with a blue flower with an orange middle, my ex boyfriend drew it for me (he remains the best artist Ive actually met in person) and on my upper middle back I have a scorpio sign inside a tribal sun....Ive got the itch to do some more body modificiation, get them touched up in a couple places and add some bugs (ladybugs) around the flower part of my ankle....

This is known as a "Cattoo" then?? Very unique and puts my armband tattoo to shame.

I have a terrapin -- Grateful Dead turtle -- holding a tambourine on my right shoulder. I definitely want to get more. Almost got one last night of a really cute cat face. It's now on my list. lol

Under the cats, mostly.
Heehee thanks guys! I love the kitty face - I'm thinking seriously about having my rose tattooed over with another cat - probably in the same style as the one on my back, but it is going to ahve to be pretty big.....

Here... or There... Hmmm
I have two thus far but have been drawing one up for a memorial for my mom for years now... I have a specific face, and wings and other parts that are going to be in the new one. I got my first tattoo when I was 18 my second the year my mom died, and I still don't know when I am going to get my new one.. I need to find the right person to do it for me yet!!

Orig. from Texas.. Currently in Minnesota (again)
ok so im still getting to know where everything is but when i saw this thread i had to post my pics some of these look like they are faded but it is because of the flash of the camers. trust me this was no easy feat trying to take these by myself!!!!!! heres my tats i have 2 that i didn't take pics of because they are hand done with needle thread and ink. one is on my hand and says val and the other is a cross on my left ankle. so here goes my ink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is a double headed trible dragon on my upper right arm


this is a set of crying eyes that was drawn just for me from a picture of myself. i got them because my past is very sad and i am always hoping that my future will be happier so the eyes are on my "back" symbolizing the past. they are on my lower back and are really big compared to the pic most of them are pretty big but you can't really tell cause of the camers and cropping
yess her eyes are purple(mine are hazel)

this was my first pro tat it is a blue rose with tribal. my best friend and i got the same tats 2 weeks after i had my first child this is on my upper right thigh


this one is kind of crooked it is actually straight up and down on my spine at the base of my neck my brother picked this out and we have them in the same spot but the colors are reversed. his heart is blue and the tribal black and well you can see my heart is black and my tribal is blue.


this is my baby dragon it is on my left shoulder i loooooovvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeee dragons!!!!!!!


this is my alter ego my mage no matter what rpg i play lady alexis hawkthorn is always present she is the darker side of me the mysterious devious and most time vengefull side of me.she is on my right shoulder


ok thats it. its not all i want i want a few more i love getting "inked" its relaxing and sooo pretty

The cats house, we just pay the mortgage..
I have one, on the small of my back. I got it when I was 16 (yes far too young). I told everyone I was going and when I was in the shop and there wasn't anything I really liked I still got one as I thought everyone would think I bottled out.
Its a green and blue flower. Its actually pretty nice but has faded a lot, so Id like to get it done again. If I can build up the courage.

I don't have any, but I've been thinking about getting a tiny heart on my big toe, or on my wrist/slightly under my wrist. Small enough...but not so small that it just looks like something's on me. Maybe a little heart in-between my thumb and first finger.

I have 2 on my back. The first one was a tiger crawling up my back, the 2nd one is a wolf howling at the moon. Didn't hurt a bit!

Hi! I only have one. I was 18 when I got it. It is a freehand of a rose with a heart. I love it!!! The guy did a really great job on it!!!! My cousin now has a tatoo gun, he keeps begging me to get one but I have'nt made up my mind- He is really good at it- he has a strong background in art- and you can tell! So so far its only 1 for me- iwill try to get a pic of it , its kinda hard to take of picture of your upper left arm when you are left-handed LOL LOL

Someone that has a strong backgraound in art does not necessarily have a strong background in sterilization and preventing cross contamination. If he is calling it a "gun" you can bet the ranch that he does not know how to use it. Please do not let this person tattoo you. Hepatitis C is on the rise just because of what professional tattooers call scratchers. That is what people with tattoo "guns" are. Not only are there huge health concerns, but just because someone can draw does not necessarily mean they can tattoo. Paper does not sweat, cry, whine, move around, pass out or throw up. In addition to being an artist, they must also be a pretty fair electrician, and mechanic to keep all the equipment in top running condition, and yes, it makes a big difference in the way the tattoos end up looking. I am not trying to be mean, this comes from working in tattoo shops most of my adult life, and being in a 20+ year relationship with a tattoo artist that has been tattooing that long. I would rather see someone not get tattooed at all than to get infected or get a life threatening disease from someone that does not know what they are doing.

No no no, he has a steralizer (sp) and has researched the whole tattooing thing befor he ever bought the gun. He is very concerned about the sterilization process,very thorough! He practiced on his self ( and some brave friends) before he ever offered to tattoo anyone else. I appreciate your concern though, he is my cousin-I know he woul'nt hurt me-and the hep C thing, my aunt has hepC and pserosis (sp) of the liver from her earlier days, so my family is very aware of the risks. Thank you so much for your concern!
