I thought it would be fun for those of you who have tattoos, to share photos here. Everyone is individual when it comes to them... some like them some hate them. I'll start off.

 

I got my first tattoo done about 8 years ago... I wanted an Echidna, so took my ideas to a local trusted place and got it designed... It's on my lower back. It started off as just the Echidna, the grass and the ground below it... when I went back to get it re-touched, we added the extra ground, rocks, grass and ANTS!!!

 

 

Then I decided I really wanted to get a frog on my shoulder... BUT I was due to be in my sisters wedding in 2003, so I waited. Again, my tattoo artist drew this cute guy for me. I'm planning on getting some 'sticky' footprints leading up t where this guy is sitting in the near future.

 

 

Then... I kind of went off the idea of tattoos for awhile. I was happy with what I had, and couldn't afford anymore at the time... Recently I thought about getting some more. I am planning on getting one around my left ankle. I want Eucalyptus/Gum branch around my ankle, with a couple of red flowers and some gum nuts. I went into the shop today and saw my guy. I gave him a description and he's excited to draw up some ideas... YAH!!!

 

BUT while I was in there, I got another one done .

 

 

 

So, that's my lot for now. I'm hoping to get my ankle one in the next few months. I'm turning 30 in April and was hoping to convince my family to give me money for it... but that won't happen (They hate them)... so I might just wait until we get our Government stimulus money!

 

So... feel free to share yours... I'd love to see them!

 

Just remember that people of all ages view this forum, so if it's not suitable for everyone, or in a spot unsuitable for everyone, please don't post it or it will be removed.

Your "guy" is very talented. Such gorgeous creatures and designs.

While you are at it,pop in & get the doctor to have a look at your sun spots,take the tip, from some one who has

had a sun spot burnt off.

they all look great, i've never gotten one but have always thought of getting a butterfly .. don't think i will too chicken.

 

one point frogs arn't slimy or sticky, of cuase it is your choice with the footprint i just think it wouldn't match.

I'm often getting my 'spots' checked by my doctor... can never be too careful!

Yes... good point. May not be such a good idea. Will have to look into it.

 

 

 

Do they hurt... yes, but it's a different sort of pain, and you do get used to it after awhile. I find the outlines are the worst. The colouring in is actually kind of nice!

Maes...........you are a work of art !!

 

PS I told you, you were special
