tattoos and body mods

[Latsu Swagneel]

I got my rook pierced yesterday. My piercer is an amazing person who I've become friends with as well as the rest of the people who work there. In about a month, I'm going to finally get my lobes done so I can start stretching to a 0 gauge.

Question though. I was doing my makeup yesterday and accidentally yanked my nose bone out, went to my piercer, got a new one put in, but it fell out while I was asleep...I put in one of my captive rings to let it tighten down around it. Does anyone know anything else I could do to help this?

Sent from my phone. Please excuse any errors...

Got my first tattoo today! The pic isn't that great, and the yellow will show up better once it's healed, but here it is.

Cookies to the first one who gets the reference.

 

Love it! And of course the cookies have been awarded already, but I recognized it right away.

All of you are looking great

I only have my ears pierced (and hardly ever wear earrings these days) but two tattoos.

 

My willow tree

And my fox

 

 

 

Both of these photos were taken right after they were finished...the tree doesn't actually have a red background...  I really should get some recent shots, but it's very difficult taking pictures of your own back and ribs!

Oh hello.

 

I have 5 ear piercings total & 3 facial piercings (nostril, septum, eyebrow). The septum is my most recent and probably my favorite.

 

I've got a bunch of tattoos (let's see... 8 now). Here's my most recent:

 

 

I am very slowly working on full sleeves, with no specific theme yet.

And for Father's Day, this happened

The shield is from the Legend of Zelda (I think) though I have no connection with the game, never having played it.

 

Isaiah 54:17 is my life verse.  "No weapon formed against you shall prosper, but every tongue raised against you in judgement, thou shalt condemn".

The NOTW logo is from the phrase "Not of this World", speaking of my allegiance to Christ and His kingdom.

 

I had decided to get this tattoo last year when I had the original cancer diagnosis, Christi had tried to kill herself and was in the in patient psych ward and I was fighting thoughts of despair.  The shield and swords are battered cause I've been through a few battles, but I'm still standing.

 

Christi had selected the artist, but was unable to go.  It was inked by LaRon Givens at Hart and Huntington at Universal Studios in Orlando.  Ron was on season 2 of Inkmasters.  He specializes in 'creatures' but I think he did a great job with the shield.  He originally made it smaller, but was happy at all the room he had to work with.   I have no plans or desires for any more ink.

Looking good, wildross. Really love tattoos with meaning and a reason for being done, as opposed to purely decorative stuff

I designed and got this done as a tattoo on my right calf in memory of my Mum who passed away from cancer last October. She loved hummingbirds and lilac.

Tax return has been submitted! I can almost smell the clinical alcohol and hear the buzz of the needle!

 

The three skulls on the right as a part leg sleeve, knee to ankle!

Photos when it's done?

New here, but saw this thread, so I thought I would add mine. First one is just a tribal dragon-ish head...thing. Been thinking about getting it covered up. Second is Anubis. I had more thought on what I wanted to do, so I thought about starting a sleeve of mythological Gods. And the last one is Horus, continuing with mythological theme. Was thinking for the coverup of the first, was to start a Norse theme on that arm, which would eventually lead to a full back tattoo of the Egyptian Gods vs Asgardians.

Tattoo nerdery: There's a lot of debate about the longevity of watercolor style tattoos. It's a relatively new style so no one really knows how they'll look 10+ years down the line. I would recommend that you do a lot of research about your artist and make sure they have a lot of experience with watercolor tattoos. It's a good idea to have some kind of black framework within a watercolor tattoo to kind of "ground" the image. If the color portions end up blurring and fading a lot (many think that they will, but again it's a pretty new style), you'll still have the crisp detail from the black ink. Of course, black ink can blur and spread out too, but if you don't try to put in super tiny details, that won't matter too much. Go big or go home!

Due to circumstances beyond my control, my new tattoo is going to have to wait again. Good thing in this is my partner is still alive, bad thing is I have to wait...........

 

Watch this space!

The shape of any shield from the Legend of Zelda series is not your tattoo at all. However,  I love the shield and swords. It goes with your verse and NOTW design. Ron did a fantastic job!
