Do you have tattoos? Of what? Where? Any special meaning?
Sound off on tattoos!
I have one, it's Rosie the Riveter. A little "been done before, I know, but my mom worked in a factory my whole life and did so much for me. It's a little homage to her I guess you could say.
I'm thinking about getting another one, but not sure what and/or where I'd put it (I like to be able to easily hide them when I need to).
My ex was a tattoo artist so he did my first (only) one, so I'd also have to do a little research on a reputable shop / artist before I got another.
Re: Tattoos
I'm the fuck out.
I just read a book about Mona Lisa who lived during the reign of the Medici so they were obviously mentioned quite often in the book.
I have 2! I have a butterfly on the back of my right hip, above my butt haha. That was my tribute to stupid decisions in college. And I also have "Let it be" on my foot because I love the beatles and I think this is good philosophy for my life as I'm usually a worry-wart.
Can I also say that I KNOW it's stupid to get someone's name tattooed on you, like really effing stupid, but lately I've been thinking how much FI means to me and how I feel about him that I wouldn't totally hate putting his name really small on my ring finger or something... *dodges flying objects*
Peacock feature behind my ear.
California on my foot (with a heart on LA).
Definition of the word "chortle" on my inner left arm.
I want SO many more: I want to add a diamond to my CA on Napa (where I got married).
The mouse from If You Give A Mouse A Cookie.
The walrus from the Disney movie Alice in Wonderland and his word "the time has come to talk of many thing. Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and Kings."
I want to somehow Incorporate my favorite quote ("man's real life is happy chiefly because he's ever believing it soon will be so.") and a dead tree.
I'm sure I can think of many more!
I have music notes and stars on my right ankle.
On my left thigh, I have my grandfather's (who was basically my dad growing up) lieutenant police badge and his signature. It is a memorial tattoo. I was looking for a pic of it and all I have is this one from my wedding:
My FI is not on board with this AT ALL haha. I know he loves me, but he's a good deal more rational than I am at times. I don't know what he'd say if I came to him and told him it was something I really wanted to do. I don't think he'd tell me I couldn't (because I'm grown and he's not the boss of me, I tell him this often) but I don't think he'd be running to get my name put on him lol
Can't wait to be a trashy tattooed bride
Tattoos can be very beautiful and they really are an art form; there's a reason a person who tattoos has "artist" in their title.
Tattoo-bride-it-up, I say!

I was going to cover them, but then I said "Why the fuck would I?"
But seriously, the ones on my wrists are awful haha I dated a guy for five years that hated tattoos and when we split "I'll show you!!!" Immediately ran out and got my wrists done. Huge mistake lol oh well
@slothiegal
I'm the fuck out.
There's a parlor just off the square where I live- Lucky Lady or s/t like that, but I know nothing about them.
I've got four: a quill and inkpot on my left foot, a Deathly Hallows on my right calf, a rose behind my right ear, and "Imagine" in my mother's handwriting on my left collarbone. I've got plans to get "Let it be" on my right collarbone in London (London knotties, recs would be appreciated!!!)
I don't get to show them off often enough. Stupid grown up job...
Eta had a pic but it wouldn't upload. Stupid mobile.
I'm the fuck out.
Well marriage is supposed to be forever and you aren't really supposed to plan for divorce
How would you feel if your spouse dies, and you eventually get remarried? How would you feel about having their name on you (visible or not)? Some may like the idea of it as a tribute, others may not - moving forward.
I wouldn't get my Hs name on me..
AW-ing some wedding pics to show off the tattoos on my arms. I also have one on my ribs and one on my hip. My next will either be a mermaid on my inner arm to go with the ship or a vintage looking hot air balloon on my back/shoulder.
I have a cross with some misty clouds and stars around it.
I'm the fuck out.
