Tattoo?

[Wolf]

I've got 3, my favorite is a wolf above some Celtic Knotwork on my arm. I'll have to try to get a pic of it, I don't have one.
I would love more, If I had the disposable income my whole back would be done, I've had it all planned out for years, but as the saying goes 'Good tattoos are rarely cheap, and cheap tattoos are rarely good'.
BTW, if anyone wants a recommendation for a guy in Milwaukee PM me, I know the best artist, he does just phenomonal work. I think thats the mistake most first timers make, just going to the first place that can take them right away.

Heres 2 of the 4 I got

 

[Dude]

I fall into the category of don't have one/wouldn't mind getting one, but I am waiting for the Lion's to win a championship--I'll be lucky if they have a winning season. My plan is to eventually get the Lion's Symbol on my shoulder so It can be hidden by a shirt (a requirement for a Lion's fan).

Here's mine:

This was the day after I got it...hence the shinyness. It was definitely a "band of brothers" thing...an Air Force buddy (a yooper!) and I made a pact to get them. I absolutely love it.

Next I want Millie (the Miller High Life girl in the moon) because an uncle of mine (who I adore) has it.

I could never get a tattoo... I fear that sort of commitment. My wife on the other hand has a couple, one on her right shoulder blade, one on her lower left abdomen and one on her lower back. I think she is done now, she accomplished all that and is not even 26... But she is not against breast augmentation :rockin:

Does that "G" stand for "gay"? Not that there's anything wrong with being gay...just pulling your chain.

I have picture of my 4 greatgrandkids wearing Packers uniforms...not my idea mind you...

I have three:
1. Dragon
2. Bear claw necklace
3. Five petal rose

My wife's a tattoo artist. She only has one... everywhere.

 

[Beermaker]

I am sleeved from the neck line to the elbows on both arms, and a back piece also. Many hours worth of work to commemorate all my life changing events. I especially like my samurai warrier killink the tiger that is attacking my good luck foo dog. It symbolizes mydicorce. LOL. I have a lot of work like that.

Is this her?

 

[homebrewer_99]

Unfortunately, this guys tat will need to be touched up a bit...

MOD: If this is too gruesome you have my permission to delete it. Sorry.

 

[dibby33]

OUCH! What the hell happened to him???

 

[Lord Sterrock Hammerson 8]

Yeah those look DEEP!

 

[homebrewer_99]

Attacked with a knife.

It still makes me cringe everytime I see it.

 

[Pumbaa]

from my sick perspective it dont look too bad. That slash medial and distal to the right scapula may need some surgery to get the muscles fixed but the rest just look like a scrub and sew

**EDIT**
I REALLY need to get off the med rig . . .

 

[feedthebear]

Is this her?

Close. My wife's are still in progress. Her back is about 1/2 done. She has a shoulder piece which is about 40% done. Her leg sleeve is about 75% done from the foot to the knee. She's not sure if she's going in incorporate her upper leg tattoos into the sleeve or leave them seperate. Oh, and two arm bands.

She gets worked on for 3 or 4 hours once or twice a week.

My plan is to get a body suit from shoulders to knees. Besides the need to keep them covered at work, my arms and lower legs get too much summer sun.

And that picture, that's my main concern with my tattoos. Its not getting old and them sagging. Its not them turning into blobs over time. Its needing stiches or surgery and the doc. not lining it back up when he puts me back together.

 

[redpale]

Inside forearm - I got this (my first one) shortly after 9/11. Couldn't find any place where I could buy an American flag, and after three days of looking I realized where I could get one.

I added the star at the top on the first anniversary.

I used to live in lower manhattan - right across the street from the WTC... it's where I met SWMBO

 

[LouisianaVince]

I have two. On my left upper arm I have a medicine feather with beads representing the 4 primary directions (E, S, W, N). On my right upper arm I have a wolf standing in front of a full moon with an eagle in silouette across the moon. They are both all black except for the beads on the medicine feather. Both are spiritually significant to me.

My wife has two that look like one. The first is a Leo symbol with a dolphin jumping through it. The second is the phrase "Spoiled Leo" above the first. They're in the small of her back, and I think it's sexy as hell!

We both plan to get more.

I'm glad that when I'm 80 I won't have to say, "I always wanted a tattoo, but..."

 

[olllllo]

My wife has tattoo'd eyeliner.

yep.

 

[nikkimac1027]

wow, 41 votes on no tattoos at all....
i have one: INTEGRITY on the side of my right foot

 

[Kadmium]

I am australian, and like Americans we have Australia Day, similar to your independance day. Anyway, I am very patriotic and had the Southern Cross tattooed to my left arm. Its the star formation on our flag, looks somthing like this

Except mine is black in colour.

 

[RichBrewer]

I've actually been contemplating getting a tatt on my back side. That way almost no one will ever see it. For a first tattoo it seems like the best place.

 

[Kadmium]

Dont go on your ass, get it on your upper arm, a T-shirt covers it easy enough and its easy to show off if you want to! a great place for a first! plus when you first get it all you want to do is see it!

 

[Lord Sterrock Hammerson 8]

RichBrewer's ass in the near future.

Here bring back the oldies for free.

 

[loopmd]

One on my upper left arm and on my back right shoulder. I can wear short sleaves and no one sees them. The only way to see them is if I wear a tank top.

[desiderata]

I don't have any tattoos and probably never will. There is nothing I want to have in me for the rest of my life. I have seen only a few tattoos that I thought were nice. One was on the outside of a guy's calf of his child's hand print. It looked nice, but still not what I would want for me.

Anyway, i think tattoos were cooler when they weren't so mainstream. Nowadays, it seems that everyone has one or more, and they aren't so unique anymore.

This is one of the best ideas I've heard.

 

[Big Al]

This is one of the best ideas I've heard.

I have a tribal band on my arm that I got when I was 23. I almost got my son's footprint done the day he was born. I have a picture of the imprint he made with it on my arm when he was about 2 minutes old that I'm still thinking about getting done someday.

Love my tat, but I got it when I was old enough to know I would love it for the rest of my life. Too many friends of mine got tats when they were 16 and didn't no diddly about squat!

 

[Desert_Sky]

I have a couple. A rather big tribal on my back and shoulders then a band around my lower right leg.
