Tattoos?

[Taryn]

You sound like the coolest, most rogueish 5-year-old ever.

[Jordan Catalano]

One day when I finally watch STAR WARS, I'll get that reference!

[EricMontreal22]

I have a pisces symbol on my right hip I got when I was 17 or so with my twin sister. Like Grolwers, I have no intention on getting more, but I like it.

[SonofRobbieJ]

I was pretty badass at 5. But by 19, things had changed. I was such a pretty Leia that Halloween.

[Taryn]

Uh, Leia is the MOST badass.

[SonofRobbieJ]

Excellent point. I was never thin enough to be the most badass version of Leia, that of Jabba-killer.

I also considered getting a specific gemini tattoo, but it was pointed out to me that it looked like I was a fan of 69. Which...I mean...I AM, but that's not something I need to advertise on my body.

[Broadwayboobs]

Robbie, I'm glad you didn't that sign if you're a Gemini because that's the sign for Cancer

[HorseTears]

I was considering getting this infamous John Currin painting on my upper arm a couple of years ago, but then I got laid off and a tattoo became far too frivolous an indulgence. It probably wouldn't work in tat form anyway.

Leia is a bad-ass, but doesn't everyone want to sleep with Han Solo? He was my first crush.

[SonofRobbieJ]

Luke was probably my first crush. At least before Hamill jacked up his face before EMPIRE. Though it wasn't until Matthew Laborteaux as Albert on Little House that I understood what 'down there' feelings were.

I should get a Nellie Olsen tattoo!

I've got three with one on the way.

My first was a stick figure bull in front of a red sun on my right bicep.
My second was -No Fear- across my left pec.

My third was this on my right calf

Next will be a version of this on my left calf

[JerseyGirl2]

I have a jeweled cross on my lower back (tramp stamp area, though it technically isn't) and the Chinese symbol for inner strength on my shoulder blade. :)

[MenzelManiac]

So glad everyone's chiming in on this one!

[bdwaygirl]

You don't need that.

There. I chimed in.

[givesmevoice]

I have a tattoo of a selkie on my lower back (also in the tramp stamp area) that's just solid black, and am thinking about getting another tattoo on my upper thigh, around my bathing suit line.

[eatlasagna]

I've got my name in kanji on my right calf and a scorpion (i'm a scorpio) on my left outer bicep area

i don't quite know how to post pics... but i have my next tattoo I want in mind... it's a treble clef tattoo but it's designed as empty space... and the tattoo is actually created with the ink surrounding it some swirly design... it looks better then how I am explaining it

additionally... I told my friends... if I'm ever drunk and I want to get a tattoo... then it needs to go in my inner left bicep... haha

[mjohnson2]

I have a tattoos on all of my body parts that label what they are so that I never forget. I also have the word "Left" on my left hand and "Right" on my right hand. I cannot tell you how many times these have saved my life, and I am so thankful I have them.

[Marianne2]

I know this is an old thread, but I'll bump it up anyway.

I went for my first and probably only tattoo today. It was so much less scary than I thought it would be. And I also can't believe that I've had flu shots that hurt more than this. 

I got a little row of hearts on my wrist in the colors of the asexual flag. Also because the heart stands for biromantic.  Maybe I'll post a picture after I can uncover it. I still can't believe I went through with it.

Congrats! They're addictive, so it may not be your last. :P

My first was on my wrist, and it barely hurt. My calf one hurt the worst (I also have one on my forearm).

[Petralicious]

I was always afraid to get a tattoo. Not for pain, but for tiredness.  I get sick of a pair of shoes or a blouse after a year or two.  Can not imagine having something branded on me forever that I would not be sick of after a year. Like my high waisted jeans. Or my Ed Hardy Sneakers. but that is just me

[hork]

I'm thinking of getting one, because I'm tired of being in situations where I need some sort of aesthetically questionable drawing but forgot to bring one.

When I choose a tatt image, I always wait a year before actually getting it done. I keep it on my desk to see if I change my mind or get tired of it. I actually did change my mind on the one of toasted marshmallow I was planning on in a previous post (the image has since disappeared) and am glad I didn't get it when I first found it. A year later I chose another I'd been "living with" on my desk, and had that one done instead. The pic was taken by the tattoist when he finished. Thus the redness around it and in the yellow parts.

"Ha! Not sure that would work for me though being the impulse buyer I am but that is a great idea!!

That is an interesting Tattoo Art!  Any meaning to it? (not that it needs to have one)

The bee is because I'm a beekeeper. The flaming gingerbread and the candy corn zombie are kind of difficult to explain if you don't know me. Even if you do, I suppose.

I really am a beekeeper. It's not my main job. But I have three hives and am adding six more in the spring. So the crazy hat is necessary!
