NTTGPR Tattoos

ksuRN09

So one of my friends got a back piercing yesterday...which I think is weird and pointless but some may say that about tattoos so to each their own...anyway, I am obsessed with getting a tattoo now. If I didn't have plans today, I would probably go get one.

I want to get this:

And get this under it later, when I have kids obviously:

So here's a GTKY: Do you have/want a tattoo? What is it? Pictures if you can!

ksuRN09

This was my first tattoo, I designed it myself and I still love it!

And my sister and I got these tattoos on her 18th b-day.

Tattooing is such an addiction!

I used to want one, but I never could find anything I loved enough to want to look at the rest of my life. Hell, I have a hard time committing to avatar or siggy pictures. Plus, I just don't think I'm "cool" or stylish enough to sport a tattoo.

I really like the the ones you posted, though. I just don't think I could ever pull them off.

I got a 'tramp stamp' 10 years ago. Tribal design with a sun and stars. I want to et another on my foot and my wrist but I'm at the point in my life where I'd rather spend my money on other things. One day maybe. They really are addicting.

DLpanda08

I have a small yellow butterfly on the back of my right hip. 

DH and I are actually planning to get another tattoo each before the end of the month. I still haven't decided what I'm getting though. 

ETA: adding words.

All of this. I've considered getting my dad's signature tattooed on the inside of my wrist under my watch, but I can't get past the pain factor.

I have a friend who has her twin's names and birthday tattooed above her C-section scar.

I have wanted a Fleur due lis tattoo since I was 17, but couldn't decide where to put it. Then when DH and I got serious I decided not to get one until he was OK with it because he doesn't like them. Last summer we agreed that I'd get one if he drew it since that way I'd be wearing his art. I'm still waiting for him to draw it. He says it's going to be his final project for his art class. We'll see...

I don't have any tattoos. Honestly, I don't really want one.

kristi&p

I have three and will be getting more done. I love tattoos. I currently have cherry blossoms on the back of my neck I love the color in this one. I have one sholder blade with a quote for remembering my dad when he passed when I was 18. And then I have 3 butterflies that gow down the other sholder blade. I am thinking of a tatttoo to go on the front part of my sholder near collar bone and one on my foot. So much that I want I cant decide so I am holding off till I fall in love with something. (no idea how to post pics)

Wish I could PIP while mobile! I have a wrist tattoo with "feminist" in phonetic spelling. Hoping to get another in the future, but not sure where I want to get it that won't be too affected by pregnancy or stretch marks.

Wrist tattoos don't hurt that much at all, and since they're generally small, they don't take too long either.

I have two. One big one that crosses my shoulder blades with roses and grapes and stuff and DS' name on my left inside wrist.

Seriously, mine took 15 minutes tops. I just squeezed DH's hand and I was fine.

I have two. The Japanese symbol for "tooth" because I'm a dental hygienist. It's on my lower back. Yes, your typical Asian character tramp stamp tattoo. I like to think mine is less cliche because it has more personal meaning. Humor me. ; The other is a block O for my alma mater, ohio state, on my ankle.

I like both but neither one is particularly feminine. I want something colorful and girly on my foot, just haven't decided what yet. I also want something to symbolize my weight loss, maybe something for my mom. Tons if ideas floating around, nothing concrete yet.

I've toggled back and forth about getting one. I've never come across a design that I have to have.

angelsnight

I have three.  My first is a sun and moon design on my right outside ankle, my second is on my lower back, it's my mom's initials with a halo above it, and below is my newest (I hope the pic isn't huge).  I got it the week after we lost our daughter.

I have two tattoos and I love them! They are hidden and only come out when I'm in a two piece bathing suit. I have five stars in a pattern on one hip and two cherry blossoms on my rib cage. Hopefully someday I'll have another.

dragonfly711

I personally never wanted one and still do not. Never wanted something that I could not get off. Earrings, toe rings come off.
A few of my friends have them and some family members are covered in tats. To each their own I guess. Some look awesome.

Clarinet35

If I were not a chicken I would get one on my foot, but I am, so I doubt I ever will! Haha...my sister has one on her foot and wants to get matching tats, but I can't muster up the courage, and DH doesn't like them [on me anyway].

I had a Kokapelli henna tattoo on my foot once a few years ago and liked it, so I would either get something similar representing music [since I'm a music teacher], or something representing Christ or a Bible verse.

Someday maybe!

Peaceb0ne

While I personally don't have any tattoos (because I can't think of anything I'd want on me permanently and H doesn't want me to get one) I think that sleeves on women look so awesome. I wish I could pull something like that off. My H is working on his sleeves, and I think it's so freaking hot! I want him to get more!

dragossoul84

I have a six inch dragon on my back and once I am able to have our second and final child I want to get the Celtic Motherhood Knot I dont know how to do pip so I cant show you but I want it on the base of my kneck in the back

azarianjess

I have 3.

The first is a  "Z" on my hip. It is my nickname since I have a hard to pronounce name.

The second is a Japanese cherry blossom and a gecko. This one is in memory of my brother who was killed by a drunk driver.

The third one is an anklet with two feathers on my foot.

I have 20.

I just googled the Celtic motherhood knot. Very cool! 

rockopera

In theory, I would love an awesome tattoo. But I have never found anything I could commit to forever. I have a hard time with picking paint colors and art in my home, so yeah.

It took me two years to decide to get that one on my foot. I always tell people never to get a tattoo unless it means something to you. Both of my tattoos have meaning and every tattoo I get in the future will have meaning. I can still look at my tattoos and be glad I got them.

What an amazing way to have her with you always, in a way that you can actually see. Such a great memorial for your daughter

crwel1048

I have one and didn't get it until my 28th birthday about a month after I had DS. I wanted it for years but never had the courage. Pregnancy and a difficult delivery made me realize a tattoo is nothing compared to that. I have a Claddaugh on my foot.

I love this!!! I'm a dental assistant.

I have 9 tattoos, very addicting. I would want my last tattoo to be on my foot. The only tattoo that made me cringe was the one on my hip. Which is the reason why I still haven't gotten the one on my foot being that it's nothing but bone.

ChristyML

I want one, but DH doesn't like them. I also think I'd want him to get one with me, and get matchy ones, but something discreet. I'd love to have a Hebrew word on the side of my foot, but I don't know which word exactly.

Like a few other pps have said, I'm not sure I'm cool enough to pull it off, but I've been told it doesn't matter if you think you're "cool enough"; if it matters to you, that's all that matters.

I just hope I can eventually convince DH to get something with me sometime. That would be so much fun and meaningful! 

Birdies08

I have a strawberry on the side of my stomach, above my hip. Wasn't thinking about pregnancy when I chose the location, I guess! I have pictures of it stretching with my stomach. It survived, though. Not ruling out the possibility that it will need to be touched up before I'm done having children.

I also have a blue bird on my foot. 

I have a design sitting with an artist right now- I'm just waiting for her to call! I'm getting this figure, with a slightly modified tail. This is going on my upper middle back, just under my neck:

 

SpokenVows

I have one on my hip that really needs to get touched up. Or just removed. I haven't decided.

Then I'm going to be going to get Romans 12:12 in the "official" USAF font on my calf.

I associate Fleur de Lys with KKG sorority. I love the design but as I didn't join that sorority I never buy anything w it on it. I know that is weird I've been out of college for a while.

von1976

I just had this one finished. I got the armband underneath of it 18 years ago, and it never felt "artistic" enough or finished. So I found an artist, gave her a swatch of fabric with a flowered paisley pattern and told her "I like the lines of this", and she ran with it. I'm very happy with it, though I'd like to go back for some more shading.

 

 

stargazer08

I want to get one. I've told myself I will before I'm 30. If I'm not KU this summer, I will get a tattoo in memory of my dad on his death date. If I am, then I'll wait until I'm done breastfeeding and then get one.

It has a lot of different associations. It's part of the flag of the city of New Orleans(home for me) & it's every where in the architecture in the city, so that's my connection to it. I want something with that & some kind of Katrina dedication.

That's awesome! It is also part of the Quebec flag. I just think of the sorority whenever I see it.

Nice.

I have 5. I would love to get more. I also want a sleeve.

Not going to lie, I cannot read what that says! One way says "One love" but the other just looks like jibberish to me. I like the idea of a tattoo but I can't think of anything I would like for the rest of my life.  Maybe my baby's name when I have one.

LOL! I've been staring at it since yesterday trying to figure it out! I got the "one love" but the other side is a total mystery.

The other side says family. Lol

It does??? I would have never figured that out! The last letter looks like a "g" to me. I like the idea of something that reads differently depending on how you look at it. I've seen it a few times, that one is just a little hard to read.

I have two. One star on the back of my neck that I despise and been thinking of covering up or adding some stuff...haven't decided yet. My second is a word on my right inner wrist, this one I love since I share with my H..its a saying we have when put together!
