Show off your ink!

And I'm not revealing any more "facets" for the moment, thank you!

OK, then just tell us WHAT it is and WHERE.

Ok ok...I'll tell you ONE of them. My public tattoo is a little dotted eighth note behind my right ear. So I can hear music wherever I go...
But now it's become fuzzy with age as tattoos annoyingly tend to do, and it's harder to make out since it's small.

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.

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?

[Zen]

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

[Tuckervill]

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

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!

Gee, that must be a REALLY small cyclist, if even you have trouble finding it... sorry, couldn't resist.

No tattoos here, don't have the guts to commit to one. If I had one I'd like a sun or a leaf in the nape of my neck or between my shoulders. Really well done and well-chosen tattoos are inspiring to see, but I'm afraid I'd end up with something cliché'ed or banal.

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.

Hello Kat and welcome!

That's a crazy tat. Nicely done. Did you have surgery on your leg or something? There must be a story behind that one. That's not a tat you get... "just because I wanted one".

[sandra]

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.

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?

I have a basic road bike tattooed on the outside of my left lower calf. Very simple design.

Still have my multiple ear piercings from my 80s Punk Rock Girl days!

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.)

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.
