    I have two and one I hate so much. I love the design but the guy who did it (from a shop I trusted and used for my first tat) did a crappy job. He complained it was a hard area to do but I think the bigger problem was it is on my somewhat plush hip and it just didn't heal well. It should be a gorgeous purple butterfly but not the normal butterfly you see. The wings are more free form than outlined and colored. One day I will get someone reputable to touch it up and fix it, it is fixable I think. May have to add more color, no cover job I would sooner have it removed.

    I have a yellow rose on my ankle, an 18th birthday present from my grandparents. Well not really but I told them if they gave me the standard cash for my birthday I was getting one. What can I say, native Texan and I LOVED the song "Yellow Rose of Texas" by Waylon Jennings and Jesse Coulter growing up. Still love the song and the tattoo. The tattoo is so cliche so I am thinking of adding a bike chain ring behind it to make it mine. Just haven't felt like spending the $$$ or dealing with the healing. The tattooing doesn't bug me, it is the after.

    If I got one more it would probably be a gardenia on my back. My Pawpaw took to growing them in his later years and would cut them to send with me because I had a new Beetle with a flower vase. The smell of fresh Gardenias makes me think of him. Or maybe a Pansy since my mom, Mammaw and Great Grandma all have the name and those are some strong women I can only hope to take after.

    My mom has a really cool one, I love the art. It is a humingbird flying over a pansy. It is a beautiful tattoo and so her. She got it a few years back, she said after 40+ years (I think she was 48 when she got it) of being a Pansy she had come to piece with the name and embraced herself as a "blooming idiot". LOL. She still goes by her initials.

    I have a friend who has some pretty oriental type flower's on her foot. They kinda cascade down her foot from her ankle. Very tastful i think. I would get one too but my dh does not like them at least not on me.

    This is my newest one, I just got it yesterday. My dad used to call me "Moose" and yesterday was the fifth anniversary of his death. I thought it was very fitting. I am very happy with it and cannot wait for it to finish healing out! I also have a Livingstone fruit bat, a phoenix, and a bass clef tattoo.

    This is an old thread, but I may as well bump it.

    Sarah, I love that tattoo.

    Sarah-

    That is an amazing tat! Love it! Wish I weren't too chicken to consider one - but I am...
