Poll: Do you have a tattoo?
 
Just curious to see what the composition of folks on the site have some ink or not!

Of course, if you don't have any (like me), you could add to why and, if you do, please feel free to share the motivation.

I don't have any b/c I can't stand the thought of something permanent being on my skin. I do admire some of the art I've seen on others, though!

Vote and let's see--have more members been inked than not?

Just curious :)



Linus 02-16-2010 10:43 PM

I have 5 ( you can see them here: http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/foru...read.php?t=701)

They all have specific meaning and I designed them all myself:

The ram and metal dog are my two zodiacs. (these were my first and I did them because I wanted to at least try once to see if I liked it or not..)

Linus, on my neck, kinda self-explanatory.

The crest with the sword represents my family crest with motto (translated, literally, means courage towards the summits). The sword's hilt is that of the Acadian Cross. (to honor my family and where I am from)

The flag with the shield represent my nationality (Canadian) and heritage (Acadian)

The Michelle, Ma Belle is a tribute to my mom. The white ribbon, with her year of birth and death, is a rememberence of violence against women (since my mom was a victim of this). The song is written by her favourite band/artist. The frog is a symbol of her french-ness and her collection of frogs while the quill highlights her creative side as well as her translation ability (she was a translator and ran her own successful business as such). This was done to remember my mom in a positive manner. It was freeing and the most painful tattoo I ever got (nearly passed out). Oddly enough, it reminded me of the relationship I had with my mom: meaningful but oh so frustrating. And a tribute to the person she was.

Selenay 02-16-2010 10:45 PM

Nope.

It's against my religious beliefs.

I read this and thought of my dad and how red his face turned when he noticed part of a tattoo sticking out from top of my tee shirt when I was just 21. The first thing he said was, I'll never be able to be buried in a Jewish cemetery. Stubborn me said good because I was going to be cremated.....yes, strike two with my dad. I now own 3 very old tattoos from my rebel days of defying dad.

My rabbi told me that there is actually no prohibition to being buried in a Jewish cemetary if you have tattoos. Cremation well yes that is a deal breaker. I do not have any tattoos though.

Just_G 02-17-2010 01:41 PM

I have three. My first is a rose tattooed over my heart; as it was my great grandmother's favorite flower. My second is my boxer Chelsea's paw print with her name under it on my left thigh....getting ready to do my right thigh with Miranda's paw print; my boxer I lost last April. My third is a tattoo that says "Butch", on my right hip, just above the wasteline of my boxers. :winky:

SassyLeo 02-17-2010 01:54 PM

I have many Jewish friends who have tattoos. I have several myself.


We are not prohibited from being buried in the Jewish cemetary.

The Torah states that it is prohibited and I think being a Jew with tattoos depends on your beliefs, i.e., are you Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, Reconstructionist?

My Turkish Jew grandmother totally did not approve of my cousin and his tattoos (she may have spoken sternly at him in some Ladino expletives :))

He is older than I and she never knew I had any...she has died...however she did not disown him or love him any less :D

The_Lady_Snow 02-17-2010 02:00 PM

Yeap I have em:playingcat:

Boots13 02-17-2010 02:05 PM

Inked up !
 
Yep, I have tats. Love them! Mine are symbolic and represent an era , an event or are representations of my character and my interests.

I'll post my two faves in the gallery.

Love tats and am always thinking about adding. I've waited for years before committing to them. Not because I'm hesitant about the permanence of them, but because I tend to work either the design or the placement of the art I've chosen until I'm satisfied with the final decision (placement and art).

I cant say enough about consultations with the artist prior to sitting for your piece. Placement, size, color (or not) and an artists ability (is it suited for the piece you want?) all dictate a certain amount of time before the actual event !

roy g biv 02-17-2010 06:39 PM

Not me. Thought about it 30 years ago and didn't. Glad I didn't.

Soon 02-17-2010 06:52 PM

Thanks for partaking, people!

Seems like we have a majority of inked BFP'ers!



:)

cara 02-17-2010 08:39 PM

I have 4. 3 of which are small, homemade tatts I gave myself in h.s. The only professional tattoo I have is around my right ankle. A vine with 4 lavendar roses. I got it in college after writing an article about our local tattoo shops for the student newspaper.

MrSunshine 02-17-2010 08:41 PM

1

and because of that one I have been thinking long and hard as to what will be next. There will be more for sure.

Enchantress 02-17-2010 08:49 PM

I have one tattoo that is very small and a bit too girly (even for me) and it was chosen from random art. It really doesn't hold much meaning for me either. For this reason, I'm in the midst of trying to decide if I'd like another. If so, it will most definitely be something that reflects who I am and what my soul is about. Oh yes, it will also be inked by an amazing femme artist that I know.

violaine 02-17-2010 08:55 PM

wrist ; hip ; above ankle

Gemme 02-17-2010 08:55 PM

I've got 3 obvious ones. Multiple work done on two of them. I'm colorful! :cheesy:

Dragonfly 02-18-2010 01:39 AM

Body Art
 
I have two tatoos and a dot. The dot was the test poke for the sign of infinity home needle tatooed over my heart. Which is where one of my current tatoos is a black broken bleeding heart. lol. My second tat is a raianbow dragonfly on the back of my neck. I have another planned that I want to get when my daughter has her first tatoo done. Going together. :cheesy:

TexasCowboi 02-18-2010 03:55 AM

yep..... I have 'em..... lots of 'em

UofMfan 02-18-2010 05:49 AM

No, thanks.

As far as on others, I can admire from afar, but I find that I usually dislike them on those close to me.

Ms. Tabitha 02-18-2010 08:14 AM

I have several tattoos as well as piercings :fallenangel:

Words 02-18-2010 09:25 AM

Two tats and a cutting.

I prefer the cutting. More painful but definitely more intimate and meaningful.

Enchantress 02-18-2010 09:28 AM

Hmm I forgot to say where mine was: It's an itty bitty little thing on my ankle. Sometimes I forget I have it and then I'll notice it and be startled! Ha!

Melissa 02-18-2010 09:45 AM

Hi there - I do not have any tattoos. Mostly because I just don't like the way they look and I don't want to be stuck with something permanent I might regret later. Melissa

Lady Jewel 02-18-2010 09:55 AM

I do. An angel wearing a leather jacket on my back :) Gawd, I love the little chit LOL.:giggle:

Leigh 02-18-2010 11:14 AM

I am actually looking into hopefully getting My first tattoo for My 30th b-day next month, though I am not sure what I wanna get. I'm thinking of something to memorialize the journey that I am beginning as I come out to family and friends as being FTM ......... something to look forward to :)

Write14u 02-18-2010 11:35 AM

I have two tattoos, one on my ankle and one on my left shoulder blade. I'm definitely looking at getting another one.
I talked indepth about my tats and my plans here:

I do admit to having mine in places that make me forget about them at times.
One additional tattoo I'd like to get is (and I know this sounds odd) but an ornate spoon in honor of my late grandmother. She collected them, and I would pick up these little spoons for her when I traveled. After she died, I took over her collection.

Rufusboi 02-18-2010 11:42 AM

No tatts here. Just not interested. Don't like how they look, especially as someone ages. Rufusboi.

Canela 02-18-2010 12:08 PM

2 of 'em...one is over my heart...used to be a name, covered it up and now its a sacred heart...the thorns are over where the name used to be...lol...

Second one is a big 'ole butterfly on my right shoulder...I did it a few years ago cuz' I'd always wanted a butterfly and finally got one...


I love them and sometimes you can still see the heart's flames peeking up out of my neckline...you should see the looks...lol...

:fishingboot:

Greyson 02-18-2010 12:52 PM

I have one tat. I was 18 years old, in Job Corp, and drinking with other butches. I knew I did not want to get it but I was young, stupid and wanted the acceptance of my peers. Of course the tat was the name of a femme in my life at the time. I always keep it covered. It was a home job and really has no special meaning. I looked into getting it removed but the cost is prohibitive.

Lusciousblondefemme 02-18-2010 01:08 PM

Left Bikini line .. mouse sitting on a piece of cheese .. kinda cute ... going to get rainbow nautical stars this summer and my kids names

Just one? Are You sure?

Duh! Yes, I have one more. I got this not too many years ago. Long story that goes back about 25 years. The jest of it is that I was at a family reunion and I took three of my nieces with me. We all got a very small five point star on our backs near our shoulders. This one I never see because of where it is and I do not regret it. It has very much sentiment and meaning attached to it.

theoddz 02-18-2010 02:41 PM

Yep, I have 3 tatts and no desire for any more. I got all 3 done many, many years ago when I was serving in the Marine Corps in the late 70's - early 80's. Back then, the Marine Corps' regulation for tattoos (for Women Marines) was that you could have tatts, but they couldn't be visible while you were in uniform. So, mine don't show unless I want them to. Of course, now I can go shirtless, like any other guy, so 2 of mine show when I don't have a shirt on. The other one....well, not so much. :winky:

I'm not sorry I got/have the ones I have.....I just don't think I want any more.
