Tattoos - does anyone have any?
 

Hi everyone, I have a few tattoos and was wondering who else has any and if so wat of ;-) I only get them done if they mean something to me.
The first one I got done with my hubby wen I was 18, he almost fainted getting his done lol! This one is in my arm of a rose, thru a heart, supposed to symbolise my commitment to him then I got his name, my sons name and my name in Chinese symbols in my back ( still to ads my daughters name) and my last one is in my side and I had this one done for my Mum who passed away in 2010 and it is Mizpah in Hebrew writing.

I plan to get tattoos when I'm 18. Meaningful ones of course. I forget some, but I believe I made a list somewhere... I dunno, but I'm gonna remake my list anyway. :3

I have a few tattoos. A neutral coloured cameo on my left wrist, I have a symmetrical pattern behind my right ear, and a quote from my favourite novel around my hip.

Cool! I will be getting another one done for my bday in Apr of my daughters name like I said above :-)

I don't, what's a tattoo? O.o

^ You're such a troll.

Getting my first tattoo later this year, it is a quote that I have wanted for years!

^ooh, what is it?

I have a QK on my wrist and "Feast on your life" on my stomach.

The only tattoo ideas I have now are trollish ones, so I'm resisting the temptation :p

Not yet, I have the design ready I just don't know anywhere in London that I can get it done for less than £££. pft

'If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.'

It's probably easier to ask who on here doesn't have tattoos as I think most do!

I have 2. A fairy on my back and a one on my foot saying all you need is love.

I want lots more.

I have a heart on my back ("tramp stamp!" Lol) but I desperately want a quote or even just a word above or below it. I'm just not 100% certain what yet, something along the lines of "walk on", "memento mori", "so it goes" or similar.

I also want a paw print, but not sure where!

And a tree on my ankle.

I'm considering getting "the mountains are calling, and I must go..." To remember my kili trip and remind me to get out into the mountains now and again. But it's quite a long quote so I duno.

My god I want a lot of tattoos lol time to get saving!

I have five tattoos and I plan on getting more.

an ankh on my right wrist, a ying-yang on the back of my let hand, a tribal symbol on my left forearm, a celtic knot on my left upper arm and a tribal pokemon design on my right upper arm.

I only ever intended on getting one, but the are addictive.

I'm no doubt as square as hell, but why do people want to disfigure the body that God gave them? I find them totally inappropriate and usually a bit hideous.

Not long ago I asked a farmer friend what was the meaning of the small tattoos that so many young women sport above their backsides. His reply was instant - second hole down! I was gobsmacked ...

Tony.

You're talking to a bunch of people covered in scars... ;)

^Beat me too it Ronald!

My first tattoo was a bird flying free from a cage. My second was a bird in flight on my wrist. And my third was a swallow holding a four leaf clover in its beak on my left arm. I guess it's sort of charting my progress to freedom... from negativity, really. Freedom to be myself. That's kind of how I see it/what it means.

I've got a few tattoos lined up in my mind... I'd like a celtic symbol on the back of my neck (I've always been really fascinated by Celtic history/mythology), two magpies on my feet (two for joy, further representing flying to happiness and away from negativity) and somewhere I'll get a very small Mario mushroom to remember my childhood. Oh, and I definitely want a Tolkien quote.

OK, Carpe Diem, point entirely taken. But why disfigure yourself further? Most human beings go through phases of self-hatred/disgust or whatever - not just SH-ers. But while I can just about understand the need to *pretty* yourself up, tattoos are permanent. How do you change your mind? Expensively.

Tony - not trying to knock those who tattoo but just trying to understand ...

Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of silly and probably somewhat trite tattoos out there, but that's up to the people who get them.
