    I don't even have the guts to change my hair color. I don't know how I would pick something so permanent. Then, I'm not the artist type.

    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

    That was amazing stuff thanks for the link. I would get one if my dh liked them. He doesn't like the thought of one on me.

    All those years of Latin occassionaly come in handy:

    SPQR
    Senatus Populusque Romanus ("The Senate and the Roman People")


    The Roman Legion used it as their standard to display their source of authority.

    Yeah, I've got a few bike related tatoos. 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! bikerHen

    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.

    These are all of my bike related tattoos. I have 2 more non-bike tats, but I don't have any pictures of those.

    First up is Biker Hen, my namesake. She's on the back of my left calf.


    Next, my homage to Queen on my right shoulder


    Third are my bike bugs on my right wrist.


    Last but not least, Share the Road!! I got the text first, and decided it was not enough so I added the bike.



    And since my daughter is doing all the work putting my pictures in this thread, she decided to add hers as well. It's her "tramp stamp" and is a work in progress.
