I got a arrowhead on my lower right leg.
It was for my dad, who collected them and was very interested in northamerican native culture. We didnt get along very well when i was young. I didnt realize what a good man he was untill it was too late and he was gone.

just remembered a joke about a tattoo!

two guys taking a leak in the urinals
big guy asks the little guy "why you have a W on your member"
little guy say "well it turns into Willma, my wifes name, when she plays with it"
little guy says to the big guy "why the heck to you have a W on yours?"
big guy says well when mine gets played with it says "welcome to BC, hang on for the ride"

I know bad joke lol I think it is clean enough for M&S

I can't fathom having something like a branding or weird things under the skin- just too hardcore for me. Some people have really beautiful peircings that suit them so well, but they are few and far between. I personally will never be one of those who can make a peircing look good.

My tattoo is done with the ink that glows in the dark under black lights (I think that's what they are called), but it isn't in a place where you would ever be able to see it anyway. I didn't actually know that he had done this until the tattoo was finished and he showed me. Really, it doesn't look that cool anyway...

I am not a big fan of colour or cartoons at all. simple blacks and grays for me.Getting my back done soon with two clasping hands"like they are arm wrestling" and forarms with one boys name on each forarm, I will post a pic when its done. I thinking of getting my greatgranfathers brand,wich i still use today, branded on my right rib.Seems only fair that ive been the brander,guess its my turn.We still have the original 2'' irons but i dont think i got the balls for them. think it will be calf size irons for me

I love tattoos! The are soooo addicting!

My first tattoo was when I was 17, my mom bribed me a tattoo for quitting smoking. I got a sun symbol with an eye in the middle of it.

My second tattoo I got when I was 18ish and got 2 dolphins swimming around my belly button.. that one freakin' HURT!!

My third tattoo was a snowflake on the top of my foot, my friend and I got matching snowflakes.

My fourth tattoo was a fox racing symbol on my shoulder blade to remind me of my sno-x days.

My fifth tatto was 3 chinese symbols in the middle of my back that mean "Winter", "Snow", "Mountain". I got them in Florida while my friend had Niki Sixx tattooed on her ribs.

I will probably get another one... my mom wants to get matching ones after she got her 1st one when she turned 50... LOL

I have 1 tattoo thus far, and i'm currently in the process of designing my next. My first one wasn't all that symbolic to me, but it was "different" and I got it done when I was 17. U might be able to see it some photos I have posted up but I have a band of pinkish flowers & vines wrapping around my forearm..I thought this was cool because most people got bands around there upper arm..mine is between my elbow and wrist.

My next one will be a cool design of my zodiac (aries) on the lower part of the back of my neck, in time, when I have completed the design, I will have one all up along my back of tiger lillies, all different colors/sizes (my favourite flower) with the vines/grass etc and a hummingbird. I am putting a lot of thought and effort into this one and this one actually has meaning to it so I want to make sure its just right!

I also want to get a or a few hibiscus flowers somewhere, or I might pair them with my tiger lillies, these because I love travelling to tropical destinations and hibiscus flower is also one of my favourite flowers

Bet you're glad you got the Chinese symbols...not Niki Sixx....LOL Much better for when you're 80!

Cool tats! Never would've guessed you were so inked up! I've always thought of one...never bit the bullet :rolleyes:

I have actually heard several good things about Larry and was thinking about going to see him about the next tattoo. How's the creep factor?? Did you post a picture of your sleeve? Would like to see...

Well I seem to be one of the few around here that is covered, both lower arms sleeved, full chest and back pieces both sides of my ribs, legs, and lower back!! I am an addict I used to run Old Mountain Tattoo in Jasper AB and cant seem to stop. I have a great artist that I bring in twice a year still as I have not found anyone else to his level of work! Attached are a few of mine that I have clear pics of!

don't have one of the full chest piece just a pic from when I broke my collar bone in two spots!

Beautiful: Love the color work... although the color in that bruise is almost as vibrant as the tattoos themselves...

i know this is the ladies forum, but the topic caught my eye as I was passin through

I almost pulled thr trigger a few times on a tat...glad i didnt
I seriously think i have ADD....i literally change my mind on random things ALL THE TIME
for example - i have had 5 sleds in 3 years....cause i get bored (my newest in my sig)

i dont think a lifetime purchase like a tattoo is for me.....;)

great topic though and i like some of the work that has been posted!
