Tattoo Thread

[Wisper]

I was reading Vamp's post in the advice sextion and I thought maybe we could all share pics of our tattoos, for those of us who have them.....BTW when you get yours vamp i hope you plan to share!

[Vintage Vixen]

Funny...i have that same tattoo....my first one i ever got in 88

[LixyChick]

And before you see it I just have to say this before skip or PF or CK say it first.......

"De plain boss"

Whew! I feel better.

My fly..........still a little red and the cream dried over it in a glaze as it was only 4 or so days old here! Scuse the bra pic....it was the better of all the tat pics I have.

[jennaflower]

Here is mine.. got it 3 years ago.. and it has great sentimental value to me.. lots of different meaning intertwined through-out..

I am happy to say that it is an original that was drawn just for me and that will never be done again. :) The animal.. the elephant is sentimenal not only since it is my favorite animal on earth but also because it was the theme for my babies room. The song it is tooting out of the trunk is "Open Arms", my favorite. The two roses signify both of my sons (the one that I am blessed with here on hearth and the one that passed away).

so there goes it :)

[Lilith]

Lovely tats ladies......still working up the nerve and deciding what I want and where. Any tips on where not to get one?

[jennaflower]

They say that the closer to bone you are.. the more uncomfortable.. in my experience.. the opposite was true.. :(

I plan on getting 2 others.. one on my ankle (a train of elephants trunk to tail)... and someday.. a tat of a mates initials on my breast bone.

[Sarriah]

I was gona post my tats here, but i have to many to post right now.. Up to 18 or so.. I know in some of my pics you can see the back ones and im sure i did a shoe thread where you can see the others too.. All of mine were put together by ME and my Tat artist. Lilith make sure you put lots of thought into what your getting its not something that when your sick of it you can get rid of =) Also the lower back is THE MOST PAINFULL place to get tats, thats the only tat that I sat through and was glad it was over. All my other tats were just ease for me hehe.
PS I like all the tats im seeing here they are lovely =)
HUGS

[BamaKyttn]

yeah, mine was on the lower back, my inker bought me a coke b/c he was afraid I'd pass out and he'd botch it lol I guess thats what I get for getting a 3 inch tat...

[LixyChick]

Next tat for me........sunset at the top of the cleavage of my bum! Baby sis is getting the sunrise there.....(like who would know the difference).........so we can say that as sisters.....the sun rises and sets on our ass! LMAO!

And I do have an idea of a poison ivy vine I want from the bottom of my foot.....up and around my ankle. I get poison ivy so much and so easily that I figure I should wear it permenantly. Some artists won't do this for me cause they say it will be too painful but I have a high pain tolerance and I'll find someone to do it.

Lilith........No matter what you decide it's the outline that is the most painful.....and don't let anyone fool you.........it IS painful! But after a while the numbness sets in and the tolerance is easier. The smaller and the less detail.....the less pain. Also......the more delecate the skin the more painful.....ie: the underside of the arm (for those Celtic bands), the inner thigh...etc. So choose a tough spot......ie: calf or lower leg or your back..... for the first one so you know what to expect in-so-far as pain tolerance!

I was out last night and the cook at the pub we were at had his head shaved and the crown of his head was a full tattoo. In some states that's against the law.......I think. Not to mention.....OUCH!

[sexXxyasiarican]

my man and I are getting our puppies name and his pix tattoo'd on us. I'm not sure where I want 2 get his name(maximus) he passed away.I swear that was my son. Not that I was ever against tattoo's jus never new what I wanted.
my man is getting it on his left inside of the arm or his back. I'm thinking my lower back (maximus) then his pix above. We are going 2 one of our friends who has been winning awards 4 her tat's. So I know it'll be good.
When we get it done someone will have 2 tell me how to post a pix.

[jstplayin]

Hi everyone! I have been floating around Pixies for a while and decided to finally post and figured this was a good place to start!

I got this about 3 months ago and its a tribal sun. and i'm going to put a symbol of some sort in the center, but that is still undecided!

Thanx Wisper.. I have had my tat since April and originally posted in womens pics .. but here is a pic just of my tat to give you an idea of size she is just about 4 1/2" from her small wing to the bottom of the stem and 2 1/2" wide at her widest point

[vampeyes]

Heres a pic that better shows where she is located :D

[Irish]

Lilith---A good reputable tatoo shop or artist;will design whatever
you want.If it's like the last one that I got;my tattoo artist and his
commercial artist wife designed it;drew it on transferable paper
for my approval.I OK'd it,he transferred it to my arm and he needled over it.They didn't have what I wanted in the pictures on the wall.It is a custom chain;with links going around my left biceps
The links are outlined darkly and then the links are filled in with
green!Just tell them what you want & they will draw it for your
approval. Irish
P.S.They cost a hell of alot more then when I got one on each
forearm;25yrs. ago!Have it done professionally.Mistakes;can't be
erased!

[dm383]

I've got 4 altogether, but 3 are on my right arm and are part of a big picture...

This one I designed myself - the Chinese word didn't come out Quite like I expected, but I like it! The two hearts represent my 2 daughters. . . my eldest passed away nearly 6 years ago, and I was going to get the top one inked Black. . . but I decided to leave it, and remember her as vital and alive. . .

ANYWAY, here it is. . . I hope! :confused:

DM

[dm383]

This is my other (right) arm . . the two tigers are "standard" inks, but messed around with a bit and the bamboo & grass etc. added in by the artist (Phil) . . . of the writing - that was done later. . . the top two words (and apologies to any Chinese ladies/gentlemen if it's wrong!) say "Year of the Tiger", which is my birth-year;- the bottom one is just made up (I hope!!!) by me, and is a joining together of the symbols for Pisces and Aries, which are mine & my very best (female) friend. . . we are VERY close (but not sexual) freinds, and it seemed the right thing to have a permanent reminder!!

BTW, if the Chinese characters are wrong. . . umm, tell me (I think!)

DM

[Devillishgirl]

I'm sure I've posted this on here somewhere else but here it is. The very beginning of my full back piece. This was before she was colored in..so as soon as I get the full color pic I'll post it as well.

[MagicalMarge]

I got this about a year ago.

[quisath]

I have four Tat's. (I was defineitly a Salty Sailor) The one I present now though was done when My Daughter was born...........I hadn't drank or anything like that..............I just wanted to do something out of the ordinary. I went to a Young man that showed me a drawing of a single strand piece of Barbed wire. I then asked him if he thought he could overlap it to make it take on a different look. He did good and My Baby is Now Sweet Sixteen.............she reguards this Tat as a reminder of her Birth. (she thinks her Dad is Very COOL) :)

[Irish]

quisith---You must have started something popular.You should
have copyrighted;or trademarked;it.Before I had my last one
designed;my wife&I;looked at the ones pictured on the wall!
You can get an approximate price;by asking the price of 1-?.
That is one of the ones that we considered.And YES;it was
a double wire!(Like Barbed Wire) Irish

[quisath]

Yep..................Irish...........I began seeing Tat.s like mine about 6 years ago............then some of the ceremonial Bands ..............I guess I may have started something.....................but I grin and bear. No Biggy. It actually humbles me to see them. :)

[Devillishgirl]

I finally got around to getting a picture in color of the faerie so here she is

[Summer]

Ok here is a little peep at mine. I have had it since 1993. It was a wedding gift from the artisit.

[Lost]

heres a pic of one of my tats

and just to let everyone know, its NOT easy trying to figure out EXACTLY where I wanted the bite marks placed, LOL

[Lilith]

excellent andvari I love that!!!!! Great tat!

[Devillishgirl]

andvari.....very well done piece of ink

[sylverpenny]

Years ago a friend of my had a link chain tattoo around her ankle.
But she didn't have it done by a tattoo artist.Her cousin did it with a needle and ink.I look back on it now and realize she was pretty lucky it didn't become infected.I think because of that is why I never got a tattoo even though I like them.Both of my sisters have one on their ankles.As for me I'll take the chickens way out and use the fake ones....LOL :D

Oh and BTW.Great tattoos everyone.:)

Penny

[Irish]

sylverpenny---There is nothing to fear except fear itself!I have
three,my 59yr old wife got one last year,my youngest daughter
has one,my oldest daughter(34)had one for years and got
another one(that signifies her kids)last year.All were profession
ally done&didn't offer any trouble.Two of mine,were done over
25yrs ago.I got another,last year,and the conditions are much
more sterile NOW! Irish
P.S.The price is much more now than 25yrs ago!

[Uncle Silky]

how IS the new addition holdin up, Irish?

[Irish]

Uncle Silky---Very good,Thanks!All healed.Instead of the ointment
that they give you,I used a triple antibiotic ointment that I get
for multiple purposes,at Wal*Mart.It was all healed up in less then
a week! Irish

[pierced8]

hello everyone at pixies here is one of mine

[pierced8]

[Sharni]

G'day pierced8 :)

When we finish the left sleeve, I might throw some others in.

[Deno]

My turn.. :)

This is the Koi on my inner bicept.

[Deno]

The crab on my outer arm.

[Deno]

[Deno]

Work in progress..

[Uncle Silky]

You need to invest in some good lotion, man.

[Uncle Silky]

Devillish, that fairy is beggin for some background. As a stand-alone, it's solid, but some background would do wonders for it.

[BigBear57]

I guess I'm boring, I don't have a tat. I've always said if I had to go to prison for any reason I'd get one. Bold letters on my ass... EXIT ONLY!

[Devillishgirl]

Silky, my artist has got the background drawn out....it feels naked at the moment. It'll be a full back piece, sticking with the fantasy theme.

[Uncle Silky]

'Fantasy' is pretty broad. Any chance of elaboration there, sister?

[denny]

How about the entire work you show in your avatar , devillishgirl It'd be a great tatt.

[txgrneyes]

Here is mine. Needed some good luck and also cause I am Irish....

[Irish]

txgrneyes---I hope that you know,that is a 4-leaf clover!
A Shamrock(Irish)has 3 leaves.My wife came home with a
tattoo,to suprise me.She got it on her foot.I told her,that it was
a clover,she was mad at the Tattoo Artist.I told her,he just did what you picked out,it's not his fault.I got a shamrock,years ago,
that says IRISH(my nickname)under it.My youngest daughter got
a "Celtic"shamrock,on her ankle.I never heard of them.It is nice.
She just got a new one on her lower back.It is a nice design with
both of her sons names at both ends! Irish
P.S.That tattoo is nice.I have never seen that combo before!
P.P.S.Her sons names are Liam(autistic)&Killian.

[txgrneyes]

yes Irish I do know the difference....but I needed good luck so I went with this...it was an experience.

[Uncle Silky]

It means whatever you want it to, txgrneyes. Don't let people rope you into thinkin a tattoo has to be textbook or have 'special meaning'. It's decoration, no different than a watch or makeup. Alotta folks seem to forget that little fact.

[Irish]

BUMP!!Mike Tyson is Jimmy Kimmels co-host this week!Has anyone seen his,fairly,new facial tattoo?If beauty is in the eyes of the beholder,
I'd like to know what he be-holden.By the way,he may be a Bad-
ass,but he's,definitly,NOT the sharpest knife in the drawer! Irish
P.S.My opinion!

[Uncle Silky]

*shrug* I've seen worse. It's a big step to cross the facial threshold with tattooing. I respect him for that much, even if the work itself is unimaginative and poorly done. That, and all the people he gave premature Parkinson's to with a few well-placed lunging uppercuts.

[Devillishgirl]

Originally posted by Uncle Silky

The current drawing has the faerie sitting on a hill with a dragon peeking around the hill...several other fairies, some trolls, elves, etc. The dragon will take up the majority of my back

[Uncle Silky]

Gotcha.

[Lisa976]

Here is one of mine,,,

[lakritze]

Lilith,my tip for you would be NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!. I have seen your pictures posted here.A tatoo would do nothing to enhance your classic looks or your sexuality. I have often wondered,why a temporary print that can be easily removed after a while wouldn't be better.It is not about the pain of the needle,but the permenance of the tat. I have known my share of people who regret getting their tatoo.I don't have a moral reason for not getting one,just an aethetics reason.In my opinion,they are too distracting.I once knew a very beautiful lady who had the looks of a model.She often wore long lace dresses in green or black that OH MY GOD!!! got my juices churning big time. She decided to get a tatoo of a rose on the inner calf of her right leg. I am sorry to say it didn't do anythig to improve her looks and it was just too distracting to me. My eyes were always drawn to her rose. Some tats look great and I have complemented the way they look.But in general,I would prefer unadorned flesh.

[Lisa976]

Another tat,,,this one is a work in progress,,, :rolleyes:

[Lilith]

beautiful Lisa!

[Irish]

lakritze---I have 3,& I don't regret any of them.I wasn't drunk when I got them,& the last one,I got because,my wife asked me to.She also paid for it.
She got one on her foot,2yrs ago & my daughters each have 2.They have
each been models,by the way,so they didn't get TRASHY ones.I am also NOT
saying that they are good looking,because I am their father! Irish :rolleyes:

[Mackenzie]

Please ignore the undies.....they always appear when I have on low cut jeans!
This is a celtic love knot. I got it right after I went to Ireland.

[Lisa976]

Very nice Mackenzie :)

[Lisa976]

Thank you Lilth,,,,I love my tattoos and have many more in mind,,just need time and $$$ :rolleyes:

[Mackenzie]

Very nice Mackenzie :)

Thank you! It's my little secret! No one knows it's there unless I show them! (or I bend over too far LOL) I love it!!

[Lisa976]

Mmm I have one of those too,,,cept it goes down ALOT farther LOL,,,but I tried to keep it from someone and forgot and bent down to pick somethin up and they went waht the hell is that,,,ohhh well LOL,,,it was well worth it,,I love them,,,any thoughts of getting more???

[Eros]

Please ignore the undies.....they always appear when I have on low cut jeans!


Undies? <drool> What undies? <more drool> Damn I love low rise jeans! There's not many things I find sexier than low rise jeans on a woman and a tribal or celtic tatt in that exact spot!

[Mackenzie]

YEAH...that's how my mom saw mine!!! LOL!!!

After I got mine...I was so ready to get another...but now I'm not sure. I can't think of another place to put one...I might add on to this one in the future!

[Mackenzie]

Undies? <drool> What undies? <more drool> Damn I love low rise jeans! There's not many things I find sexier than low rise jeans on a woman and a tribal or celtic tatt in that exact spot!

PURRRR!

I wish they were atleast sexy undies!!! Instead they are the boy briefs! I'll try to get a better one next time!

[Eros]

PURRRR!

I wish they were atleast sexy undies!!! Instead they are the boy briefs! I'll try to get a better one next time!

The boy briefs are sexy on a woman!! Although low rise jeans were meant for g-strings or bikinis. As far as next time, if ya need any help..hell, I'll hold the camera!

[d5254t]

heres mine its on my upper back starting at the nape of my neck,its about 7-8 inches from the top to the bottom of the design, the top chinese symbol is of the zodiac symbol for the dragon and the bottome one is the symbol for the snake which represent my daughter(dragon) and myself the snake, the middle symbol was one the tattoo guy and I created together based on a drawing I had.

[Eros]

Ok...I've posted mine before, but not in a long time. Here's some newer pics of them.

[imaginewithme]

Eros..you're just so sexy!

No tats on me.....don't know of anything I like enough to put on me. Maybe I could put "Pixies Place" on me.... nah...

[vampeyes]

nice to see everyones tats.... I can't wait to get another one but I have sooo many that i want its hard to choose. :jester:

[Grumble]

I dont like body tattoos, not my cup of tea but when it comes to the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, well I can watch a lot of that :)

[Lisa976]

Eros-Love the tat on your leg,,,what is it??? Very nice design though :)

[Eros]

Lisa ~ I went to the tattoo parlor and told the artist I wanted a tribal design on my leg. He just pulled out his personal sketch books and said "I drew this one to put on somone's leg" so he put it on mine...lol. No meaning behind it, it was just a spur-of-the moment thing and I love it.

[Curious_Fem]

Here's my one and only... so far. ;) I got it about 6 months ago, and I was looking at designs for another one before I was out of the shop. I see now how people say they are addicting.

[Irish]

Eros---Many people that run Tattoo Parlors,are also (commercial)artists.I know that the one,that I go to,he is an artist & also his wife.I know that, when I wanted,one around my upper arm,they had none in the books,that I
liked.I described,what I wanted.He & his wife,drew it & I OKed it.They put it on a "transfer" paper.He transferred the outline,to my arm & this gave him the outline.When he was done,with the outline,he then filled in the outline,with
the color of my choice.Naturally,once you OK,the design,you make an appt.,
for the actual work.(Tattoo) Irish
P.S.In my area,you have to make an appt,because his work,is very good &
he is very busy!

[skyler_m]

Hey all. Great tats. (better than saying nice tits, I guess...) :D

It's great to see everyone's ink. I've got 3 that I'm pretty sure I've posted; however, I'll post them again.

The first tat I got is on my hip. It's from an album cover of a group called PWEI (Pop will eat itself). I just really enjoyed the design. I got it on my hip because I wanted one just for me (and apparently you at Pixies... and people at bars when I get really drunk. don't ask)

My second tat is on my right ankle. It's a sun burst. I just wanted a cool design so I got it.

My 3rd (and final???) tat is on my left calf. I got it after I finished my marathon a year and a half ago.

I have tons of ideas for getting others, but have waited several years between the ones I've gotten. Better to make sure of what you want before it becomes fairly permanent

[Eros]

Irish ~ that's what this guy did, but he did it all the same day. He ran his design on a copy machine to get the outline then transfered it to my leg. After that he just filled it all in with tribal black.

[Irish]

Eros---I'll get back to you!I have a follow-up appt.,for the operation,on my back,& I have just enough time to get there! Irish

[OzKristin]

always thought about a tat, but never got one, and i don't plan on it actually, but hey to each their own right? I have a belly ring and that's my fun so far...with the money i can get a tattoo with, I'd rather just donate it to one of my favourite animal/environmental charity

[Studmuffin69]

Here is what I got. All are orginals most are from characters from books that I have read.

[Studmuffin69]

Here are more of mine.

[Studmuffin69]

The last three represent my orgins, the love of my life, my wife and my three daughters.

[imaginewithme]

Very sexy tats studmuffin

[Eros]

That sleeve is awesome and the tats for your girls are great!

[Pegasusx62]

The last three represent my orgins, the love of my life, my wife and my three daughters.

Wow...great tats ...they are all awesome...love the dragons...& winged panther :)

[longsword]

I've got 8, but this one on my forearm is my favourite..

[jentheredhead]

just one for me. it was my gift to myself when i turned 30. it took me 6 years to decide to go ahead and get one.

i am thinking about another one but taking my time again.

[Lilith]

It's lovely!

[Summer]

I am loving everyone's tats! Thank you all for sharing.

[lizzardbits]

here is a little peek at my 'crow" tattoo, and my original drawing of it as well. it is one of the five that i have. hope you like. Lizz:D

[lizzardbits]

then there is my dragon (i love my dragon, was my first tattoo)

and also my lizard in the flowers on my wrist

and my Vampire bites ( love my neck to be bitten, knees go to jello and toes curl and i am instantly, well..ummm, wet! lol)

and my wyvern ring

[Shadow_Kitty]

Lizzie - I must say those are COOL!!! :D

[Dubblz]

Most of mine are too old to post..Lost the color..Jack Daniels label on back of my left arm is still ok though..Flaming skull, in spider web mostly faded now.Red and yellow barely show up..My ex had a great one though..Great, because of course,it was my idea,lol..Curved lightning bolts runinng down her pelvic bone,to right near the top of her cooch..In the middle was written Splippery When Wet

[lizzardbits]

*bump*

[PantyFanatic]

I've felt a tattoo was something you may want to give some real thought to as it is going to be there for a while and should probably state something you have long term convictions about. I'm not sure how I avoided one while in the service with a pretty gung-ho group. Even the 'subtle' majority got one under the left arm with their blood type, serial number and the unit crest.

Being that I always preferred face to face discussions, I didn't need a skin statement but now I'm getting to where I may not always be able to express my view of the situation. I figure that three score of experience is long enough to be certain of what I want to say and that it will still be legible when I'm done with it. :rofl: So my Pixie family is the first to see what I will never be able to look directly at.

[Oldfart]

. . . . but there are no old, bold mice.

I need to know more about Dubblz's ex being "Splippery When Wet".

After 5 years, I'm still waiting to find out.

Anyone, please?

[PantyFanatic]

. . . . but there are no old, bold mice.
I though I was under a lucky star. How old do mice get under that southern cross? ;)

[The_LadyB]

Getting a tattoo is such a liberating experience... I have four already, my first was when I was nineteen; I'd gotten it six months after my dad died. In fact, that tattoo was in honor of him. He loved Harley Davidson motorcycles... so I got the HD emblem with his birth and death dates underneath it. Yes, I'd say for someone to get a tattoo that is going to last for life, it has to mean something to you, whether it has something with family, something you love ,etc. Anyway, I'll probably be covered with them by the time I've gotten old... but all I'd have to say by then was that at least I'd enjoyed my youth. By the way, Lizzardbits, I just love your "crow" tattoo.

[AZRedHot]

I have one; I got it last year, at the tender age of 37. When I got it, I was sure it'd be my only. But you know, once you break that seal, it's a lot easier to consider another. :) The Mr. and I are working on a design for a new one even now.

[PantyFanatic]

:wtp:



:D

[Oldfart]

I though I was under a lucky star. How old do mice get under that southern cross? ;)

Really old PF. When they're over 100 we call them kangaroos.

[PantyFanatic]

Now THAT'S a bold mouse.:yikes: (Maybe there's hope after all) ;)

[lizzardbits]

So in another thread I had mentioned my crow tattoo, I knew there had been a thread, decided to look it up and WOW! I posted those pics exactly 7 1/2 years ago, and LOL, all I could think was, dang, I was thinner back then, and geez, I need new ink! :)

PF I like the ink!

[Lilith]

I got some new ink for my anniversary. An infinity symbol made with 2 hearts on the inside of my left wrist.

[AZRedHot]

I'm getting an addition built on my shoulder tattoo this afternoon. More of the mehndi, plus some poppies to match those on my back.

[PantyFanatic]

I got some new ink for my anniversary. .......
I'm getting an addition built on my shoulder tattoo ........

:wtp:

[AZRedHot]

:wtp:

I have to GET the ink first, PF. But you shall be photographically satisfied soon thereafter.
