Do you have any tattoos?

[LostInAnomie]

If so, what is it? Where is it? Where did you get it? Is there a cool story behind it?

I have none.

[Robb]

1. I've got several

I keep them on other people's bodies, though. :)

[Rising Phoenix]

2. I have 13

here is some...


left hip....big story behind that one




a pin for everytime my heart has been broken

[LostInAnomie]

3. One of those pins looks pretty fresh.

Nice skin by the way.

[Rising Phoenix]

23. yes, I just got a new in added

and thank you

[Mojambo]

4. Just one on my right shoulder

It's a spider crawling on a web.

[regnaD kciN]

5. Nope...

As a rule, I avoid anything having to do with needles unless medically necessary. :scared:

[bicentennial_baby]

6. Yes! 3!

This one:



And this one:



Big story behind that one, and I'm not getting it covered up, regardless

And this one:

[sniffa]

52. i Love your tats

:loveya:

[bicentennial_baby]

56. Oh you....

:blush:

Likewise lover... :loveya:

[ghostsofgiants]

7. Not yet, but soon, I hope.

[Reverend_Smitty]

8. Yep, I designed it myself

My mom and I both went and got tattoos over the summer...how many people can say they got inked up with mom? :P

[prole_for_peace]

63. i have been thinking about getting another one

and have been looking at peace signs. yours is great and in the same spot i was thinking about. how painful was it? my other is on the inside of my ankle and didn't hurt at all.

Rev Smitty, would you mind if i borrowed your design or something close to it?


anyway here is mine.. kinda hard to get a good pic with my crappy camera.

[RT Atlanta]

9. My fraternity letters...

From "Rocket Rick's" in Columbus GA (right near Ft. Benning). Fun and not-so-sober ride over from Auburn AL (though we did have a sober driver). Met a lot of military guys younger than me, and a lot less sober than me too, getting some huge ones put on their arms that night.

Tat's on the inside of my ankle.

[matcom]

10. maybe

[seemunkee]

11. Where did you get that done?

My daughter is checking out tatoo parlors in Boston

[matcom]

28. Tampa

well worth the trip

[zabet]

61. That is some

very nice ink!

[EstimatedProphet]

12. Five

Left bicep:


Left shoulder:


Right bicep:


Right bicep/shoulder:

[DarkTirade]

48. Whenever I see someone with japanese or chinese characters I'm always tempted to mess with their

heads and ask them something like, "Nice tattoo... but why did you get 'frisky dishwasher' tattooed on your arm?" or something to that extent. :)

[EstimatedProphet]

51. And that might work with some people

I, however, knew what the symbols meant before I went into the tattoo parlor.

[DarkTirade]

55. Yeah, my old roommate had some kanji tattoos, but that wouldn't have worked with him either.

He was an army brat and he grew up in Okinawa.

[Redstone]

13. Whadda you, nuts? The FBI uses those things as identifying marks, so no way.

Redstone

[Skittles]

14. no

would never even consider it

[txwhitedove]

15. Nope. I just consider the scars as tattoos of life.

;)

[Briarius]

16. two

You can just see part of the arm band. LynzM drew the wings a couple years ago and I just fell in love with them and had to have them!

[southerncrone]

17. No. Never. Forms of ID that can be used against you.

[XemaSab]

22. That's sort of the point

:P

[pookieblue]

18. I have two

both of them were done in Columbus, Ga... by Falcons.

this one, is on my back/shoulder. my 'other mother' got it for me as a b'day present.
it's of a zuni bear fetish..



this one is on my ankle...this one was another b'day present for me...from me.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

19. No. Not any more.

I had one on my foot but, I had it removed years ago. Tattoos are okay just not, for me.

[Lautremont]

20. One small one on my shoulder.

No pics, though (except one where I also happen to be in deshabille...).

True story:
Robert Mitchum was busted for marijuana possession, and the booking sergeant asked him if he had any tattoos. "One," he said, pointing to a barely visible mark on his arm. "It's an obscene word too small to read."

[stuntcat]

21. 3- an Edward Gorey cat, a Froud faerie, and a Serendipity sea serpent

Serendipity is from some kids' books

[DarkTirade]

24. None YET. I've got plans for a few.

Unfortunately they cost money, which I don't have right now.

[billyskank]

25. I have none!

Having no tattoos is the new having tattoos. :7

[DarkTirade]

27. You damn kids, with your no tattoos and short hair and soft music...

Why don't you ever skateboard or tresspass on people's lawns anymore? :P

[orleans]

26. i have one. didn't really want one--was kinda pressured into getting

one. turns out i adored it. have NEVER regretted getting it. my friend who really wanted one but wouldn't get one unless i did had hers burned off years ago.

[vi5]

29. I have a bunch

In the order that I got them done.

I have a sun on my right shoulder that I got when I finished grad school.

I have the Crass (english anarcho punk band) symbol on my back left shoulder.

Chinese symbol for strength on my right calf

I have intertwining snakes on my left shoulder.

I have my daughter's initials in a scroll under the sun.

I have my son's initials in a scroll around a 5 card hand, each of the numbers of each of the 5 cards being his 5 card patient number on his band and the band we had to carry around when he was in the hospital for 5 months after being born.

[yellowdogintexas]

30. none but my daughter is a tattoo artist. nt

[dropkickpa]

31. A bunch

I have more, but don't have pictures of them.

[LanternWaste]

32. I've been tempted to get one...

I've been tempted to get one several times in the past, but I usually (fortunately) realize ahead of time that my tastes change too often and I'd end up stuck with something I'd hate a few years down the road.

[DarkTirade]

47. That's why I made sure to wait a few years before I decided to go for mine.

The only two I'm SURE I'm going to get are the ones I've wanted for 5+ years.

[Shell Beau]

33. I have a daisy on my back near my right shoulder blade.

Was on a girl trip when I was 19 and we saw this tattoo parlor and thought it would be cool to all get one. It was our first trip without any real adults!! It was a blast!

[MissMillie]

34. I have 2

one is my avatar. (if you want some sense of its significance, go to www.waddleon.com)

the other is a replica of a Picasso

[Sugar Smack]

35. I have a chameleon near my right ankle.

That was in FL with Joani. It's my first/last tattoo.

[DarkTirade]

36. Does it blend in? :)

[Sugar Smack]

42. YOU.

:spray: Too early in the morning for this kind of stuff.

[DarkTirade]

46. Ack, you got water on my monitor... :)

[asthmaticeog]

39. Post a pic ferfuxsakes!

:bounce:

[Sugar Smack]

40. You first, cowboy. Criminy.

I'm too fucking shy.:blush:

[asthmaticeog]

44. Too shy to show your ankle?

How very Victorian of you. ;)

I have no pics of mine here at work, and I currently have no internets at home. So I can't. Sorry.

[Sugar Smack]

45. Oooh, please describe them.

Mine's purple going into rose madder going into gold. It's tiny, very small, but I may have bored the tattoo artist going into the story. :P

[LaraMN]

37. Nope. I'm getting my first one in December, for my 30th.

A dna strand; either up my ribcage or down my spine- I can't decide.
It's in honor of my kids, particularly my little dude's chromosomal uniqueness.

[cynatnite]

38. Butterfly...right shoulder...

no story other than I wanted one and have never regretted it. Love my tattoo :)

[DarkTirade]

49. I have a friend who is covered from waist to neck with tattoos

big, burly biker guy, couple of missing teeth, just recently shaved off most of his hair so he's left with that mongol braid thing going on. Kinda scary if you don't know him. And he wants to get a butterfly, a fairie and a flower tattooed in somewhere, just so that when somebody tries to make fun of any of those for being 'girly', he can show them his. :)

[ceile]

41. 2

Pixies flying "P" on my back and an Egyptian eye on my ankle. Getting a Salmon of Knowledge on my back when I lose 15 pounds (gift to myself for all the hard work).

[LeftyMom]

43. I'm probably getting one next month. nt

[Phillycat]

50. I have 6 (one covered, so been under the needle 7 times)

I have the symbol for the band Fishbone on my right hip (that covered up my first tattoo, a plain and boring heart):



I have a band on my left ankle with sun, dolphin, stars, and flowers

I have a bonzai tree on my right shoulder.

I have a big piece on my center mid-back (about the size of a dinner plate) that is an Aztec design.

I have a star on both inner upper arms. I call them my superhero stars:

[Jimbo S]

53. None.

I'm clean.

[dembotoz]

54. none

afraid of needles
pay someone to work on me with a needle?
I don't think so...

[judaspriestess]

57. I have none, my fiancee has three

said he is not getting anymore. We'll see

[Mugu]

58. I've walked through tattoo parlors all over the US and Asia.

Never found one that I wanted to live with for the rest of my life. Plus if I had decided on a life of crime a tattoo is a liability.

Regards, Mugu

[Roon]

59. My group of friends and mine became reallty tight

we called ourselves the "borg" So all eight of us went to get friendship tattoos and got got the borg symbol tattooed on us...some of us got it on our arms,some legs...mine is on my shindig

[JuniperLea]

60. Oh, hell no!

I change my mind too often to commit to something like that.

I am fascinated by them though. Grandpa had a Polynesian girl on his arm, and could make her dance. My b/f has three, and would like more. One of my sisters has six.

I've designed them, drawn them, even assisted in giving one. But I can't make up my mind, and I'm quite sure that as soon as I do, I'll change it.

Saw a couple of excellent ones at the Benefit makeup counter... the sales girl. She had one of those voodoo, House of Blues style flaming hearts on her chest. Best damn tat I've ever seen! It looked painted on, she even rubbed it with makeup remover (had it handy at the counter) to prove it to me. Her second one was a skull, with full red lips, and Dorothy Lamour hair... complete with a big red hibiscus! Beautiful!!! Best ink ever!

[astonamous]

62. Got my first when I was 37...

My husband and I both got our first tats for our anniversary about 8 years ago. The iris is one of my favorite flowers and I liked this artwork. Found out later that I may be allergic to some of the ink colors...possibly red. The purple on the iris took forever to heal and was very itchy. I really wanted another tat and one day it just hit me what I wanted.



It's a bracelet and doesn't go all the way around my wrist. I get a lot of compliments.

[bridgit]

64. no...

[swag]

65. I have none.

All are welcome to help make up for my deficit.
