progress126 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 I've got three. First one I got is Calvin from Calvin & Hobbes. He's standing with one hand stroking his chin and the other on his hip, probably thinking "where the heck is Hobbes?" I got it done way before Calvin started appearing on pick up truck windowspissing on various truck logos! I might eventually get Hobbes behind Calvin in mid pounce ! Still thinking about that one though.Second one is an armband on my left bicep of my wife and 4 of my 5 boys names. I originally had my wife's name and 3 of my boys done at the same time, leaving a space big enough for a 5th name... Just in case! Well, along comes son #4 and his name fills in the space nicely. Done! Well, not quite yet because along comes son #5! So to add his name to the armband means either rearranging names so they all work together or totally redesigning the whole thing!Third tat is one i designed myself with some finessing by my tattoo artist. It is a sacred heart on my left forearm. It has wings and has sunrays coming out of clouds in the background. In the crown above heart and flames are three symbols: a maple leaf, a star and a sun to represent my being Canadian, American and Filipino.As I was sitting in the chair prepping for that last tat, I was already thinking of my next one!I'm planning on finishing my left arm and getting a full sleeve eventually. My next tat planned is probably going to be an old school pinup but with my wife's head/face. Just not sure if it will be part of the sleeve or if it will go on my right forearm. I also wanted to get a fixed gear bicycle on one of my wrists as well as some inspirational words on the other wrist.I find the sound of the needle humming away and the pain it inflicts quite soothing!MOAR! I need moar! Quote [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "Yeah, I got this!" -andygates Link to comment
Jabba the Hupp Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 MOAR! I need moar!This is exactly how I feel.

humanperson832 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Not the best pictures?? Please......those look great!I meant like, not the clearest pictures of JUST my tattoos... I know I have one lying around, but my photos are scattered around on my hard drive in severe disarray. Too much work looking for just the one. My photo mentor maaaany years ago said that if I ever wanted to torture her, tell her to find ONE specific photo. I now know what she means, lol. Quote Link to comment

missjazzyfe Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 I've got five tattoo's. - A swallow on my left shoulder.- A hibiscus flower on my right shoulder.- My three younger sisters names in hearts going down my spine.- A Gryphon holding an A on my left leg. Bonus friendship points if you know what this is from.- A butterfly on my right foot.And all of these are pretty decent sized tattoo's. I know they take up a lot of prime real estate but they're all too beautiful to regret. Quote Link to comment
AngelaTheGeek Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 I actually have six, but only have pictures of three. I'll get two more up on here at some point, which are a dolphin tramp stamp (because I was 19 and silly, but I still like it), and a paw print on my foot to remember my family dog after I had to put him down. My first tattoo will never be seen in public again. I'm getting it covered because I was 18 and stupid. It's a dolphin in a heart on my hip, but it looks like a Lisa Frank sticker. *Bonus points if you know what Lisa Frank is!* It's also the only one I haven't had done by my artist, Ryan Tanton at American Graffiti in Sacramento, CA.This is my most recent. Yes I know it's a Lady Gaga song. I don't care. The first time I saw this was on the Born This Way Blog. These three words speak to me. I love this tattoo.This is my FAVORITE OF ALL TIMES!I drew this one. It's my first of many cat tattoos to come.

Namednoname Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 This is sick! What is the whole quote cause I can't read the bit at the end as it curves round.For my first tat I'm looking at getting a pretty gypsy lady in black and white with some subtle accents. [ATTACH=CONFIG]3078[/ATTACH] <---- Something like that but without the skull and less green. I want my tats to predominately be black and greys cause I plan on travelling extensively ( Thus the nomad part of my name huh ) And I want all my tat's to be as resilient to the sun as is possible... Because all though I'll definitely take good care of them, ie sunblock etc.. I expect there'll be times where I simply forget and/or run out of sunblock. Which brings me on to the subject..Do colours really fade that fast? My friend has an egyptian thing on his leg (Think a lady anubis, sexified. Dont ask..) and went away for 3 months to spain, when he came back the colours had mostly faded from it. Is this true with most tattoo's? Quote Link to comment
Shaun1105 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Finally got my first tattoo yesterday! [ATTACH=CONFIG]3371[/ATTACH]When I first decided earlier this year that I was going to get a tattoo I was planning on going with text - probably a bible verse. I even started rereading the New Testament with a highlighter to note stuff that I thought would make a good tattoo. Then after doing some research I decided against that; a picture is worth a thousand words and all. Anchors have been a christian symbol since the first or second century, and I thought it would make a pretty cool tattoo. Essentially based on Hebrews 6:19-7:1 and/or the hymn We Have An Anchor.I like bold, traditional tattoos and Chris Lombardi of Hand of Doom Tattoo in Buffalo, NY did a fantastic job. I couldn't be happier with it.(I'll replace this picture with a healed one eventually) Quote Level 1 Human Ranger STR 2|DEX 2|STA 2|CON 3|WIS 3|CHA 3Twitter | Google+ | tumblr Link to comment
wildross Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Awesome tat bro!My wife has a dove with Hebrew for Father and Son on her ankle.I thought about getting a NOTW (Not of This World) tat on my back.

TinkG6 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Awesome Awesome tatts people have going on!!!I have 3 - 1) Right Hip/Side - Tinkerbell posing on a Lily (I knew this was essentially what I wanted for years but could never find the right tinkerbell, or the right lily, etc. Finally a close friend of mine just drew it for me, and it was perfect. It was supposed to be smaller and on my inner hip area, but somehow ended up being like 5 inches and on my side. It was exceptionally done and the colors of the lily are so vibrant. Very happy with my first tat experience)2) "tramp stamp" (I hate that term) - lily in some tribal-ish vines3) back of neck - stargazer lily with leaves/vine extended outSo yeah, I have a lily in each tattoo and that will probably continue. Everything i do has to match or theme or something. My OCD like nature can't handle "random" lol unfortunately. But so far it has been 1 a year, and I'm at that time a year but don't really know what I want. Quote Link to comment
Perdi Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 The first one I got was the ankh, surrounded by stylized wings of Isis. The second was the eye of Horus. I will have more someday.

Mercury Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Hi Folks,I'm new around these parts, but thought I would show off my ink as it means a heck of a lot to me..First lot of ink is on my left forearm. My children's names so they are with me all the time, and everything I do, I do it for them.This is phase 1 of a full sleeve that will hopefully be finished later this year once I have the cash for it sorted..Top outside is a Phoenix, rising from the flames. Representing rebirth and my change to a healthier lifestyle.Full forearm will be a dragon wrapped around my arm with it's head facing up to the Phoenix, breathing the fire.This represents my power, courage and strength to persist with that change in lifestyle to healthier life.Phase 3 on my inner upper arm will be a Gryphon. Representing the values which I try to live my life - truth, love and power. Quote Link to comment
