I have many, many tattoos! Maybe 12? Hard to keep track. If I had a friend who was a brilliant tattoo artist, I'd have full sleeves for sure.

How do you choose your images? Do you select them from somewhere, or are you an artist & design them yourself?

I have three and would like two more. One is a purple rose with my sons name on my ankle. That was my first tattoo and I said if I ever have a child that is the first one I want. The second one I got in the same day and it is a butterfly on my upper arm. I love butterfly's that is why I got that one. Then a couple weeks after I went and got a unicorn on my ass cheek. I like unicorns and I am unique just like them. I also have a birth mark there that I wanted covered up. The next two I want are of the tattoos you get out of the bubble gum machines. They had this cute cross with a gem and two roses. I want to put my two child's name on that one. The other one is from this game called Neo Pet's it is a cute little female character.

I have one and want another soon. I have a '2 year rule' with tattoos where I have to wait 2 years after I want one in order to get it.

The one I have is a strand of 'faulty blue Christmas lights' on my right ankle. It's a quote from a Weakerthans song (my favorite band) that reminds me of my home town. The quote is
"You are a radio, you are an open door, I am a faulty string of blue Christmas lights
You swim through frequencies, you let that stranger in, while I'm turning off and on and off again."

This quote really helps to sum up how I feel about many of my friends who I admire for many reasons, including their kindness, intelligence, flexibility... While the 'Christmas lights' can't even do the small job they've been given to look pretty, festive, and make people smile.

The Right Ankle is a reference to the song by the Decemberists which, while isn't why I got the tattoo, gets a nod in the placement.

The one I want is a tribute to the Webcomic A Softer World, which has gotten me through MANY tough times. I'm not 100% sure on the design yet. I know that I want the text "It's time to make yourself proud and everyone else a little nervous," (Which has the hovertext [Don't you know? The sun's setting fast], for those of you familiar with the comic.)

It was originally a quote from a statement the author put on his blog:
"It is summer time! It is time to climb up on things and yell at other things that are too high to reach. It is time to mess up the calm quiet routines we built up all winter. With fire. It is time to make yourself proud and everyone else a little nervous"

It pretty much sums up my outlook on life and how I WANT to act. It's who I want to be and how I want to exist and what I want to do. The main other idea was to get the words around an artistic, glowing firefly. This is mainly (among other smaller things) a nod to another A Softer World comic:
"I think I've got fireflies where my caution should be" (Hovertext: [Instead of slowing down I just shine brighter.])

I feel like that comic has a similar theme. It reminds me of that feeling of finally pushing though your anxiety and feeling like you can do anything. I also tend to just 'shine brighter' (talk louder, go faster, talk to more people) because of anxiety when I feel strange about a situation.

/rant.

TLDR: I have one tribute to my favorite band/ home town and another I want to get as a comic tribute.

I'm getting to the point where I'm starting to have trouble keeping track of how many I have. I have like....14? I think! One piece I drew, but the rest were drawn by my artist(s).

I'm tattooless, yet I can't think of anything I'd want without questioning if I would regret it. Not being tattooed, but the actual design I chose. However, I like the look of sleeves and I like the idea of a Godsmack logo tattoo on my upper arm. I'd probably get one, but my wife has expressed her wishes that I don't.

I have a big old school style skull that was my polar opposite when I got it and it still is. I'd like a couple of wolf tracks, or some tiny ornate scissors (I groom dogs) or a silhouette of a poodle in the puppy cut used for shows. The husband is very against any more ink so I'm respecting his request.

I don't have any tattoos yet, but I would like to get at least one sometime soon.
I'm a fan of back tattoos, like on the shoulder blades and the back of the neck. I also like tattoos on the lower back and hips.

If I do get a tattoo it will be an exotic floral design. I drew a design a few years ago and have been sitting on it because I want to make sure that I still like it over time.
If and when the time comes that I actually want to get it put on my body, then I'll take that design to an artist and have them tweak it a little and give it more polish.

I have 6 tattoos. My first is my little brothers first and middle names on my left instep (inside of my left foot). My second was a ripping heart behind my left ear. Then I got a Camellia on my right shoulder (will be the cap for my 1/2 sleeve eventually) for my mom. I have a frog on the inside of my left calf for my dad. My largest tattoo is from just under my left armpit to just below my panty line that is my daughters first and middle names with her birth flower on my hip. My final tattoo is above my right ankle bone and it is a skull butterfly. Two skulls face to face form the butterfly wings. My husband did the last tattoo, the rest are professionally done.

I have plans for a full back piece, a half sleeve on my right size, and several more down my legs. I have gotten one tattoo for every year since I have been legally allowed to get them. I limit myself because otherwise I would have no skin left!!!

There are a few I want. I want to get an image of three little birds, one yellow, one red, and one green, sitting on a branch with a monarch butterfly resting on the edge of the branch. Behind that branch I want a faint rainbow. It's for my friend who passed away when I was 18.

I'm also a huge Harry Potter nerd so I want the three stars from the top of the pages tattooed behind my ear. I also want the quote "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light" on my shoulder.

I have a few already but would love two more; something matching with my husband for a wedding band and a Bettie Page latex-tailed mermaid.

I currently have "Friede Liebe Glück" (Peace Love Happiness in German) but I want to get a set of dogtags that wrap around my ankle and rest on my foot and get 02/09 possibly on my wrist as a memorial tattoo for my maternal grandma.

Right now I don't have a tattoo, but I always wanted angel wings on my back with ribbons saying each name of those who died that were close to me. So far I would have my grandfather, brother, sister, son, nana, and two dear friends there if I had it done. Then I would love to get my husbands and mines name on my upper arm on the left as a tribute to our marriage.

He wants to get a dragon on his arm.

I have four tattoos already. My next one is going to be a garter around my thigh. Need to get the others touched up a bit first, though.

Here is is just done! As with all tattoos, it needs a bit of touching up and isn't quite as bright two years later!

UGH can't figure out how to make it smaller! Sorry guys! D:

That's a lot of people to have lost by such an early age! But what a lovely tribute that tattoo sounds like it would be!

Wow, I would love to see them!!

As a matter of fact, after seeing Ryuson's, I'd love it if anyone who wanted would post pictures of any of their tattoos or links to their pictures!

Oh Wahine, i could probably go on for days about tattoo plans for myself!
Currently i have three, one of which i have very big plans for. It's a cicada on my shoulder i got right after my 18th birthday and dropped only 100 on it, and while it's a pretty good tattoo theres a lot that needs to be touched up and i think i may add color to so details are more visible. This will eventually become an entier shoulder piece dedicated to my home state with text that will probably read "south of the south" (the title of a song by Dave Dondero) and i plan on having it done with more common insects and the state bird/common state blossom - it's going to take a lot of time to save up for as i was quoted 400 for the whole thing.
The next really big thing i want to do is a literature piece of the Tenniel wood burn image of the jabberwocky form Alice in wonderland probably with the lyric "i am a soldier, i'm thick and strong, draw swards on the dragon, laugh at his roar" underneath, on my thigh.
I have decided placement for a couple simple text tattoos as well. One being a lyric from my favorite band Lemuria it it in just the word "pleaser" and the other will probably be in the ditch of my knee saying "hey darlin'" as a memorial piece/reminder of a friend who passed three years ago. Both of these i can probably get doen relatively soon as they will be fairly inexpensive.
I'll probably do something with my most recent tattoo since it's the one that i even forget i have due to the fact that the color didnt really take because of my skintone. It's the sailor moon crescent moon though.

I have a lot of ideas - like an all dogs go to heaven tattoo- but those are things i know for sure i will be getting done in my foreseeable future.

Already have 2 that I drew myself and am working on another 1 that means a lot to me, for my children. Have 2, both grown but mean that much to me. Want them with me always. However, I can't get it put together the way I want it. I love my tats but feel that sometimes its best not to advertise. So I try to put them somewhere I can do that. This 1 I am wanting on the back of my neck. I don't want it too small or too large so...and want it to curve with my shoulders - thinking tribal or curly...I want it to be nice. Here's hoping for some ideas
