Okay Mari's post about her new tattoo got me wondering how many around here have one. Sometimes the people you least expect to have one do. So, if you have one and want to share ..... tell us what you have and where.
 
I have a rose on my belly... when I'm done having kids I plan on having a coverup done... the rose has no meaning other than I was young and just picked it off the wall... the coverup will be something to represent my lost babies... I also want a mother's knot on my upper back.
 
I'll start....I have one.

Got it when I was 30. It was a Valentine's Day gift from DH. It is a very large butterfly that goes across the small of my back but, you can't see it from the sides or in front. Is about 10" x 8" probably.....guessing....

I am still just in love with it as I was the day I got it. The only thing I don't like is that I don't get to see it unless I look back into a mirror or there is a very few and far between pic of it.
 
Absolutely no ink here and there won't ever be.

ETA: I don't have anything against getting tattoos, only the pain involved in getting them. LMAO
 
I don't have one. I have never found anything that I would want on my body forever. I have nothing personal against tattoos though, it is a personal choice.
 
No tattoos here... I'm afraid of pain. :unsure: and hubby hates tattoos, I think he would leave me if I got one...
 
I have 4. I got my first when I was 30 - a purple mushroom on my ankle, then I got a chinese character that means enjoy youreslf on the other ankle. When I was 32 I had a celtic tree knot done on my left lower back. At 35 I had a wreath of autumn leaves, acorns & pinecones done on my right shoulder. At 38 I had the celtic knot enhanced with a circular wave pattern around it. I'm working on a design now for tree of life, with a crescent moon & my kids' names for my 44th birthday next year (because it will take me that long to save up enough to pay for it)
 
When I was in HS I got a small ladybug (the size of a dime) on my right foot above my pinkie and 4th toes.

A few years ago I got two little ladybugs added (for the boys) along with a bunch of leaves, etc. Its now larger than a golfball, but smaller than a tennis ball.
 
no ink here, tho I do have a tat planned for when I am completely done having kids...something to represent them, but not certain I will get it.
 
I don't have any, just because it's too hard of a decision to pick something that will be on me forever (& it's expensive). Hubby got one done last summer that cost $340 just to do the outline! Eventually it'll get some color and shading, whenever we have an extra $500 :unsure:

i have one on my hip - got it in college - it's a sun with a moon and a star inside - something my sister drew/designed for me ... i've always wanted to get another one - but not sure what or where ... and now i'm getting old - LOL - so i doubt i'll really ever do it again ;)
 
None here...heck I change clothes ten times before leaving the house and you want me to pick something I have to wear everyday HAHAHAHA!!!

You're right though, sometimes it's the people you least expect to have them that do.
 
I don't have one but have always wanted one. I just have never decided WHAT I want. And I would have to convince DH to get one... He doesn't like them on women. Of course he has two and plans on getting one more.
 
I want one, but I'm too chicken. My biggest fear is that they'll start it and it'll hurt, so I'll quit and have a line or something halfway done! :) I did design something I really like- maybe one day... DH wants one BAD- may get it for him as our 9 year anniversary is coming up. He wants one that incorporates our kids names (and since I know we're done, he's cleared to get it!) :)

That sounds CUTE!!!!
 
I have a butterfly on my back (on the right shoulder) that represents my metamorphasis when I started dating my (now) husband and a pink star on my lower back that I got to represent my new adulthood. When I finally get my bikini body, I have a star/swirl large tattoo drawn out to get on my side, similar to this placement (but not the tattoo)

I like that one, but I think I'd want it to be more vertical on only spread to the back a little bit..
 
I am not going to lie....the one on my lower back hurt more than everyone prepared me for. But, it wasn't anything I couldn't handle. I never cried or anything. It felt like a cigarette burn...

over and over and over

I think it hurt cuz of the fact that the small of the back has very little muscle tissue. But, it was worth every bit of uncomfortableness.

DH has one. An eagle with the US flag flying behind it on his upper arm. He wants two more.

I want one more that I know of right now. I wait forever to get them cuz I know that I have to live with it forever...I want to be happy with it and have meaning for me. I will never get a really big one again though....
and I like the fact that I can hide it easily....it sometimes peeks out when I bend over tho.....ahem...but that's what DH likes! :p

That is BEAUTIFUL!

Totally the meaning behind my butterfly. Sorta. My symbolizes the metamorphosis of my life. Turning something that really seemed to have little hope, no place in the world into something beautiful and free.
 
I have 2, a small pink heart on my ankle (symbolizes the first time I fell in love), and flower/vine on the inside of my left wrist (got it when I was 18).
 
i have a lil chinese symbol on the back of my hip that means true/real. My reminder to be true to myself. Got that like the week i turned 18.

Two of my brothers and my sister have memorial tats for my dad who died when we were kids...Im going to get one as well, but i just havent been able to find a design i like enough, or a tattoo artist i trust to do a good job of it.

I will also eventually get one for my son, but im waiting til were done having kids incase i decide to just do the one tatto with all their names on it or something. Would like to get one for DH too, though i always said i would never get a guys name tattoo'ed on me. And eventually id like to get one for the baby we lost.
 
I have two. Three pawprints on the top of my right foot to represent my kids and a volleyball on my right shoulderblade. I love, love my pawprints on my foot and love seeing them every day. I got the volleyball in college because I wanted one and couldn't decide what else to get. :p I've looked into having it covered up but I haven't found exactly what I'm looking for to put over it. I know I want a cross but I don't know for sure what I want it to look like. And really, dh and I are the only ones that see it so I don't really care right now. lol

Dh has a Nike swoosh on his left shoulder and would like to get one to represent the kids. I designed three interlocking C's for him; he just hasn't gotten around to getting it done yet. :)
 
I DO! And I wanna get more eventually! :)

I have 4- a naked fairy! lol! (doesn't show anything, of course!), stars, a hibiscus flower with some tribal stuff running thru/around it, and a moon with some swirlies.

I want to get my kids names, but I'm not sure if we're going to have more or not, so I'm going to wait until we decide. I also want something to honor my childhood best friend who passed away a couple years ago but I'm not really sure what to do about that one.
 
This was #4, but my first one in about 10 years. I got a homemade India ink one when I was 14 on my chest, a tiny cross. I have a butterfly and my name on my shoulder blade and the Japanese word for dream with 2 stars and a moon on my low back. Plus today I got my fall leaves on my shoulder. I am also planning a dove with branches and my son's name was thinking of my foot, but I like this one so much I may get it on my other shoulder. I also want to have this big swirly, star like thing all across my low back and add a bunch of butterflies and branches around the old butterfly, it looks lonely now.

ETA, As far as pain, some places hurt more than others. Bone and fat hurt, a lot. Muscle, not so much. The outlining when it starts, hurts, but then you kind of go numb and it doesn't really hurt after that.

This is very similar to what I want the one I consider to be unfinished to look like when it's done.

This is the start of mine (trying not to show you boobage ;)). Eventually, it will have more lilies, greenery, all my kiddos' names, and stretch to my hip, if not farther:

I have an unfinished one around my ankle. Part of it is colored in and part is just the outline. I got it like 12 years ago and I want to get it covered up but I'm broke. Lol
 
I have none. I have three I want to get. When I have a couple hundred extra LOL. I want a vine on my wrist with daisies, a pixie/fairy on my shoulder and something to symbolize my three kids. Have not decided yet on that one. I was thinking three intertwining hearts but not sure yet. Im not so much afraid of the pain as to not liking what I have done. My husband has a panther on his arm and he hates it. He has looked into having it removed now a few times but its so expensive. I like his and told him I think he should get it finished. He is a wimp and said it hurt to much to finish LOL.
