Everyone put up a pic of your tattoos! Large, small, flash, custom- it doesn't matter! Show it off! I'd love to see the art and hear the stories that go along with it.
You can see mine in a previous thread (http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=20440)
I need to get a camera, once I do I will post pictures of my 4! Somewhere on here there is a picture of my little cyclist- I will search for it tomorrow when I am bored at work!
I've been reading this forums for a while but this finally made me register. Here's my right thigh.

Awesome back piece. That is really well done.
I'll post mine too. The ones on my wrists won't be hard to photograph. I'll save my back until the whole thing is done. But, taking a picture of my chest piece will be tricky. :rolleyes:
I'll post as soon as I figure out how to do the latter in a classy manner.

Boy am I glad I spent all that money to have my teeth fixed.
Strategically placed cotton balls... :DQuote:

When you post the pics can you also let us know why you chose that particular design and any other info!
I'm too chicken to get a tattoo..All i want atm is a maple leaf :o or a bike wheel..
I'm working with an artist right now to get a bike wheel! (with a couple other things). Gonna put mine on my upper arm. Where do you want yours?Quote:

No tattoos here. I do have two sets of ear piercings, but that's the limit for me. I love an occasional temporary tattoo on my annual girls weekend for fun.:cool:
Sure I do...but not posting them here! :cool: My reputation is probably hanging by a thread as it is....
Hey, I think i saw your act in Vegas!Quote:

Lisa, Lisa, Lisa... every day and in every way you reveal yourself to be more and more multifaceted! :D
And I'm not revealing any more "facets" for the moment, thank you! :rolleyes:Quote:

I thought you said pubic tatooThe other one is to cover the needle tracks from the old heroin habit.
This all just further proves that the imaginary thing is sometimes the most compelling of all. :cool:
Probably my true colours will show here: I never considered tattoos on females nor males to be sexy.
Can appreciate just the visual art if carefully and tastefully done..as on Andrea. Andrea, how often do you get to show off the bird in public in full unobstructed majesty?
mine is not intended to be sexy. it's a feathered,beaded bracelet on my wrist. A display of solidarity with our Native American brothers and sisters and because I don't wear jewelry.
Don't ask her about her piercings :rolleyes:;):cool:Quote:

My DIL got a tattoo of her son's tiny little premature footprint, on her foot. I can see how significant that is to her. I often think her foot is dirty when I see it, before I remember what it is. My son got SPQR on his arm when he got back from Iraq (it's something about the Roman Legion, but I can't remember the words anymore). Let's just say that the placement and size of both of these tattoos indicate they're not the artist type, either! Or they're just youthfully inelegant...I dunno. Who am I to criticize?
I admire people who can pull them off, though.

BikerHen has some great bike tats. where is she hiding? I think she posted some once before.
I've seen some really beautiful tats over mastectomy scars, flowers and vines and feathers, amazing creative lovely stuff. There's a woman here in Seattle who specializes in doing mastectomy scars. (she does other scars, too, and regular tats; but she's well known for her mastectomy scar work in particular) 2nd one, top row, morning glory, is one of her mastectomy pieces: http://www.vyvyn.com/Gallery/vyvyngallery.html
Gee, that must be a REALLY small cyclist, if even you have trouble finding it... :D sorry, couldn't resist.Quote:

Hello Kat and welcome!Quote:

Oh, I DO have the guts to change my hair color if I really trust my stylist. Last week I went from blonde to dark red. After my son's wedding in March, I think I'm going to go natural gray. I guess I need to get a tattoo so that I can't post pictures here and talk about it. :D
Wow, Zen. I have an affinity for Native Americans, too. Must be the Irish in me. I love your tatt, btw. I'd LOVE to get one like yours. Have you read any of Louise Erdrich's books?Quote:

Thanks! I have loved tattoos ever since I was little. My mom tells stories of times when I was 4 or 5 years old and walked right up to bikers to look at their tatts. I have 6 of my own now, but that's the best one. I have plans for more but I'm trying to get back into university so I won't have the money for a couple of years (also hoping to buy a road bike which I can't really afford either.)Quote:

Yeah, I've got a few bike related tatoos. :rolleyes: The picture files are on my computer at home so I'll post them later today or tomorrow. In the mean time, look to the left at "bikerHen". She was my first tatoo! :D bikerHen
OK, here is the link to the old thread with the picture of my little cyclist
http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showt...ghlight=tattoo
Sometime this week I will post pictures of the others(I broke the digitial camera so need to get a disposable- so tattoo and new bike pics will all probably come at once)
Those are great! I love the link to the scar cover-ups. I can't wait to see more!
To answer someone's previous question- I show mine off in the summer time when I wear tank tops. Otherwise, it stays pretty covered.
I have one.

I took another one that showed more of the positioning (between my shoulder blades) and also showed off my guns, but it also showed off my lovely choice in bras too. So you all get the censored version.
I got mine because dragons hold a very special place in my heart. I have always thought them to be a very beautiful symbol of strength, and particularly feminine strength. It's two dragons entwined around each other in a heart. My brother is a graph artist and designed it for me in high school. I held onto the design for 5 years, and the entire time I still loved the design as much as when I first saw it, so I decided that I would make it a part of me.
I lurve it.

My sister and I have matching tattoos. She designed them. We are twins, and Gemini happens to be our sign. My foot is on the left, and I can tell mostly because my feet get so beat up that I hardly ever bother painting my toenails. My sister has a couple other tattoos, but I just have the one.

I love the tats!!!
I would love to get one myself and the only reason that I don't is because Mr. doesn't like them. I would get something bike or tri related.
I do have piercings, 6. I used to have 8 but Mr. decided that the last two that I got were too "noticible." so he asked me to take them out.

Hello again, TEers! I've been hibernating a bit this year and haven't posted for a while. Moved three times, but finally settled and now commuting two hours a day and more when it snows like this. Back on the trainer, la la la.
So this first calf tattoo I got in March when I went to San Francisco with my sister, who is a lesbian. She's got a heart with wings on her back, rainbow-colored. So I got a Hawthorne chainring with six hearts (my fave number) and wings. Now I just have to get in good enough shape again (mayhaps even a teeny tan) so it looks good.
Unfortunately, I had an ink allergy just to the red heart, less than a half-inch-square, so I've been dealing with that at the dermatologists and may have to get it removed. Sigh. FYI red is the MOST allergic color. WIsh I had known that.
THis second picture is of my first tat, gotten at age 19 out of defiance to a bad boyfriend and because I try to be as resilient as a rubber ducky. I'm on the right; some chick with a more in-your-face duck I met at a writers' conference so we quacked about it in the bathroom and had a photo opp.
