Tattoos-Do you have one? Where? What?

I don't have any yet, but I've had a few ideas for them over the years.  The one I'm most likely to get is a design relating to an alias/author avatar I've had since I was a teen-ager.  I figure if I've been using the name for more than a decade now, it's not going anywhere.  That one should be safe enough to do and not worry about regrets ^_^ .  The other ideas, I'm much less sure about. . . especially the white rose one I'd like for the lower back, which I don't even know how well it would show up on my pale skin.  *wonders*  Ah well, I only liked that one 'cause I drew a pretty pic that had it.  Is that a good enough reason?

l have 2 tatts 1 is of my wifes name on my left breast and the other is on my right shoulder hard to say what it is but love them both looking to get my kids done but have not found the right ideas yet want name as well as a design.

I'm thinking about getting one when I turn 18 this October. I'd like to get a little fairy on my lower back, but then I'm having second thoughts about it because I'm one of these irritating people who can never make their mind up. I'm a Libra, I'm terribly indecisive.

I'm about to get a tatoo, but my problem is that i don't know where i want it and what i want

I took me a year to deciede on my first and last tattoo. I was born in Colorado and the state flower & bird is the Columbine & Hummingbird. I took the cover off of my mom's journal that she wrote in the year after I was born. I had my tattoo artist/friend change it up a little. I love it and am not sorry I got it. Though when I was getting it I was. Hee hee. I got it on my lower back and it took 3 1/2 hours. 

My tattoo artist web site is http://home.neb.rr.com/inkaddiction/.

Make sure you pick a tattoo that means something to you.

I've been comtemplating about a tattoo for over 5 years and still contemplating. I've decided on what I want to get just not sure where to put it.

Dragonfly, any deas where I should put it?

 

I have 3 tattoo's and I am hoping ofr a fourth. My frist tattoo I got when I was 18 ( I am 1 month shy 22) on my left breast, above my heart of a kitten with blue eyes and the AIDS ribbon  in memory of my grand-father who passed on with a pneumonia related only to AIDS patients. My second, I don't regret, but I can't think of anything to complete it. It's on my right ankel of an 8 point cross...initially I was going to get my siblings and my inititals around it, but I changed my mind, and only have the cross...My third, last, and favorite at the moment, is the one on my right hip of the aquarius sign. MY daughters are both aquarius, i have their initails in between it. my fourth will be when i have my next kid...hoefully in a year or so

 

I'VE BEEN SAYING TO MYSELF THAT IM GONNA GET ONE BUT I NEVER GOT AROUND TO GETTING ONE. 1 DAY IM GONNA GET 1,2, MAYBE ALOT.

I have one tat so far, soon to have more though! I have a cross on my back, its outlined twice and the corners of the middle done connect, in side is the chinese character for LOVE......and I LOVE IT! I designed it myself, its very simple but thats all I wanted. I have had it for 2 years now. I'm going to Vegas this sring and want to get one at Hart & Huntington (carry harts tattoo shop in The Palms Hotel). My boyfriend and I want to get something together so we just have to figure out what. I have always liked the chinese characters and I really like them on the side of the back, I have seen it on a friend and its awesome.

Becareful though if you want one, make sure its something meaningful and something you will like in 20 years. I got mine because I'm religious and love is why we have the cross. Its a deep meaning to me.

You only live once, whats a tattoo really. Its just creating another memory!

insatianble-4fun ~ I was scared to death as well. Seriously, I had a million butterflys and wanted to vomit the whole time before he started to tattoo me. I tend to work myself up a bit though so when I do have something done, its not nearly as bad as I thought. And just as I thought, it wasnt as bad, actually it wasnt nearly as bad. It depends where you get it done on your body. I had mine done on my lower back, the only part I didnt like was when it hits the spine...think of it this way, it doesnt hurt, its uncomfortable but not un bareable. Also I was more fasinated at the fact that when it did hit my spine, my legs where shaking a bit, I couldnt control it so I just laughed at it. I tired to focus on something else other than the needles going in my back. I decided to bite my finger and that helped a lot....I found that my finger wa sin more pain than my actual back though. It was only 10 min though for me, but afterwards I totally knew I could do another one. I want another one and hopefully am going to decide on something for this year. Anyways, trust me, the little pain/discomfort you experience is so worth it. Talk to the tattoo artist too, it helps you not focus on the actualy task being done. Thats all the advise I can give you, focus on something else....bring a friend and talk to them, even if your talking about what it feels like, it gets your mind off the pain. Just think of it this way, it only will feel bad for that moment.....afterwards you dont even remember it. I was more scared about getting my nose pierced than my tattoo and I heard horror stories about that...but it was a second of pain and it was done! Just go do it...dont think of the pain!'

Ok I think i'm done with the explaining! Good luck and trust me!
