Do you have a tattoo?
Getting a tattoo is something I thought I would never do....
BUT I DID IT!!!!
On the nape of my neck I got a bladder cancer ribbon with the word "survivor" on it
It was a way for me to stand against a life threatening disease.
Do you have a tattoo? Where and why did you get it? And would you get another one? Friends tell me it is like an addiction, but I can't see getting another!
Thanks, HollyI will be getting one soon in memory of my sister...it will be a Tuscan Guinness and I do not know the location yet
the best piece i could ever give to anyone getting a tattoo get it coz u want it whatever the reason dont be coersed or pressured into it i have 2 one displays my faith and my favourite animal to symbolise indepence the other is 3 vivid blue stars with a hollow circle in the misddle of each i am getting a 3rd tattoo for my 21st with an important quote being held in the tallons of a phoenix to inspire me to follow my dream if it matters to you when you get the tattoo it allways will because youll remeember why it matters every time you look at it

0whoo hoo!!! congrats on the first tat, and (more importantly) being a survivor.
You think you don't want another,(I didn't after my first one) but one day...something will come along and you will think..that's perfect, I want that for my next tattoo. I now have four... and (sorry gsburgess), one of them has my lover's name hidden in the details, it actually means quite a lot to me.
Thank you.
I thought the tattoo process hurt like heck! I cannot imagine being so motivated to repeat the pain!!
Do you have any pics of the tats? Hope that wasn't too forward - I am just curious Be well, HollyYeah, I have some pics somewhere..Ill see what I can do about changing my profile for ya! And on your neck hurts more then other places. And you've had kids. Nothing hurts more than that!!! Or at least in my life nothing has hurt more..and the pain doesn't always stop ya from wanting more.
Like I said, I got one and thought ..NEVER AGAIN but over time the memory of the pain fades, and you find some other thing you just have to have on you.
Thanks
It is cool to know how much thought people put into these things! Much deeper than I thought before :)Any chance to see pics? Be well, Holly
Getting one tattoo often does lead to getting a lot more. I got my first one knowing I would keep going but I know few people are really content with just one.
Congratulations on being a survivor. That's a fantastic reason for tattoo! To mark something like that in your life
I have two tattoos. My first one is a ship's helm on my neck, directly below my ear. I got it when I was 18 on my first trip without my parents, I was in Peru. It was a little scary as the artist and I didn't even speak the same language but I'm so glad I did it.
The meaning has changed for me since I got it. Originally it meant that I would direct my own life and that I could go where I wanted to go. Later it became a reminder to me that no matter what I was doing I was going somewhere, so to make sure that I was headed in the right direction.
It is also a reminder of the saying, "We cannot change the wind but we can direct our sails." which was a regriferator magnet that my mother has had since I was a child.
My second tattoo is the beginning of a sleeve on my right arm. It is a large peacock on my forearm that represents beauty. The ability to create and appreciate beauty seems to me to be something that is uniquely human. Though every culture has different ideals of beauty every culture covets and enjoys it. As Oscar Wilde said, "The secret to life is art."- mtsi1098posted 13 years ago0
My husbands addicted. So far he has one sleeve, a large part of his back and is wanting to work on the other sleeve this year.
SEXY!!

I do! I have two. For whatever reason I can't find a picture of the butterfly on my back, but I found a pic of me with a decent view of my flowers. They're right where I want them, and they can also be covered by a short sleeve if need be.
Story: For reasons, my grandmother had me about 80% of the time growing up. Because of this, I even called her mum. She passed away when I was 19, and I miss her so much.
This is my own artwork, in memory of her. She had these growing up the side of the house my whole life. I think of her every time I look at my arm. xo
/whew! Emotional!
Thank you Lily Rose
I love meaningful tattoos as well. I think they should act as a road map of your life. I'm currently drawing another for the side of my back, and it's chalk full of meaning
I don't have one, but I am thinking about getting one! Do you regret it, or are you glad you got one?
Music and Love have played a huge part in my life.
This is the one I want. What do you think?
or
If I don't want it to be very noticeable, where's a good place to get it?- SilentSmile08posted 13 years ago0

Hey Kmackey, where did you go?
I wanted to give you proof.
Okay, you didn't need to get my imagination running rampant. That's just unfair.
I always wanted to have a sleeve tat, my husband would freak!
I have 5 straight down my spine like a totum pole and one on my left arm as well as my eyebrows. I still want to get more. Each one means something to me. Thats what matters, when you get tats that actually mean something to you.
I love the one you have with the footprints, its really neat.
I have 5 tats as of right now... debating on going for a full sleeve or not, considering a couple of them are rather large and could work with that...
I think tattoos are beautiful, and I love when there is a story behind them. Every tattoo I have means something to me- Onusonusposted 13 years ago0
yes, I have 13 of them. This is number 13. its 5 years old.
Yes. I have 5 tattoos. I love three of them and the other two I just regret it all the time but I can hide the ones that I don't like. I got all my tattoos when I was 19 now that I'm almost 27 I think that I should wait a little bit longer and get more mentally mature to done it.
