Show us your tattoo

[ASammy1]

I was just admiring KSH's M dot tattoo and was wondering what everyone else had. I currently don't have any tattoos, but I want to get one.

Show us what you have!!!

You might want to do some searching - I recall some similar threads where folks posted pictures. They're very cool!

CA (who is way to chicken to get one)

Since I'm proud to be a native Iowan and the fill is the livery off of the buses I used to drive.



When I worked there, I met a lot of great friends, including my dear husband and built a lot of personal character. I got it last summer before moving off to grad school. I still totally dig it.

My dragon (about 15 hours in with untold hours ahead). It goes up to my hip bone for now and the tail/tail scenery will extend up onto my side and will include stars on a dark background. The dragon itself still looks a little unfinished and will get more detailed shading/scales added once the color is finished:

I have a couple of other little ones, but given the extent of these two, they aren't worth the bandwidth

Here's mine. I'm getting another one soon.

This was my 30th birthday gift to myself. It represents home (Kentucky) to me and I love that dogwoods are some of the first trees to bloom in the spring. I also feel like I've embraced my femininity more in the last few years than ever before, and also my strength and the tat reflects that. The artist did the outline in brown ink rather than black, and I love the softness of it.
I also have a tree on my left shoulder, but no pics of it, and a women's symbol with celtic knotwork on my right hip.
I've been jonesing for my next...was going to hold off another two years until my 35th bday, but we'll see.
I love seeing everyone's ink!

Kie Fujo, you are too cute!!! I love all of your work.

I don't have any photos but my 2 biggest ones are the back of my right calf, I have a geisha dancing in a lotus flower with cherry blossoms falling around her and a cabbage rose with a dagger through it on the inside of my left forearm. I got them both in Japan when I was stationed there for 3.5 years.

I've got a bunch, but here are my bigger pieces:


This was my 30th bday present this past february, a reminder to eat healthy and be good to my body! I've also started doing a lot of home gardening as well. It's my favorite so far.


This one is actually being retouched right now. Much more shading and definition throughout.


My other sleeve.

It's interesting, because I've lost over 50 lbs since those sleeves were done, and they don't look weird, even though my arms are much more slim now! I also have a small one on my ankle of my dogs paw prints, a few on my back that will be worked into a complete backpiece, and other small design on the other ankle. I love my tattoos

Wow, greycoral, that is some beautiful work. (But I couldn't have brussel sprouts on me, they make me gag. )

These are all great! Show Your Tattoo threads are my 2nd favorite behind Show Your Pets!

Okay, I was gonna post a new thread for this but figured people would get annoyed with me if I did. So, here's hoping that someone or some people out there will read this and give me an opinion.
I want a new tat. Really want one. I can't draw so I can't really draw it and take a picture that will give you any kind of clue so I'll describe it and see if you can get the gist.
What I want is, basically, a compass rose. I want it to be a circle, with a nautical star in the center, with longer, thinner triangles coming out behind the star for the 4 main directions. After that, I want to fill in the other, essentially, 28 points with just simple straight lines resembling (have you guessed yet?)... bicycle spokes. with little triangles pointing in from the rim of the circle at the NE SE NW SW points. mostly flesh colored but I was thinking blue for part of the nautical star, light shading for the 4 main directional triangles, and alternating red and green for the 4 other little triangles. What do you all think?
Let me know. I'm sorry I don't have a pic.

I believe a good tat artist will help you with your design.

sounds good to me.

I think I want a pentabike.

[Aggie_Ama]

I think you can get a good artist to work with you. Find one and make an appointment to discuss. Have them draw and redraw until you see your vision. Might cost you more but you will be happy. You might ask KSH how she came to her M-Dot I think she said it required a few re-draws.

My bike! I don't think I have any not-fuzzy pictures of it, which is a shame because the line work is really nice.
