Ink/Tattoos: share and discussion about

Linus · 01-14-2010, 09:51 AM

I know there are a few other inked/tattoo individuals out there. I love getting ideas and love original work. Share here your likes and ideas.

I love my tattoos. I have 5 actually (see below) and still have a few more to get (I want to get one to celebrate my trans self, my buddhist self, my geek self and a few more). *ALL* of mine are self designed and inked by Jacqueline at Yonge Street Tattoos (awesome work). I think I'll be waiting until I'm settled in L.A. for a year or so before I get my next set.

Oh, Linus, those are stunning!

Currently, I have no tats....but I want one.....I'm not sure where....but I found a lovely Celtic Pisces that really appeals to me....I'll see if I can find it to post....

WhiteTigress · 01-14-2010, 10:25 AM

I'll have to dig around my computer, to see if I can find one of my single (at this time) tattoo. It's pretty simple, but I want to add some enhancements to it. It's on the upper part of my right buttock.

I plan to get one for my left side, of a white tiger, and I have the picture of what I want, in a box on my coffee table. I've been saving the pic for years, because I needed to not only save up the money to get the work done, but so that I would have someone who could drive me home from the ink-work (I get a real high as in a SM "flight" from the sensation). I will also Timber to help me in the care needed in the first couple of weeks, as it heals, since it's in an awkward place.

Peace and Love,

If you are a paid member I believe you have near unlimited space. All you need to do is:

1. Go to the Galleries: http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/gallery/
2. Click on the Upload Photos link in the right corner
3. Follow the instructions from there.

We must be linked or something, Linus, because I was just thinking about starting a tattoo thread this morning!

I have a few. If you are just looking at them, it looks like 3 separate tats, but I've actually been under the needle several times.

One of my tats is a rose and butterfly that I added another butterfly and rose to after a break up. I did the sure thing to end the relationship; I got a matching tat (and, of course, had to change it somewhat after we split).

My first tat is still pure. It's never been touched up or added onto and it still looks really good, considering it's gotten a decent amount of sun exposure. It's a band of butterflies on my lower back. I have no problem smacking the crap out of the jerks who call it a tramp stamp or trash tat. I got it many, many years ago before everyone else got one there too. Damn lemmings!

The other one was my most painful and, even though it needs to be touched up, I don't want to do it. It's the only one I almost cried while getting. I had to be held down and still my leg was jumping all over the place. It's directly on my ankle bone. Bone. Needle going 5 miles an hour. Not a good combination.

Anyway, it's a lizard climbing rose leaves and having a conversation with a butterfly (notice a theme here, people?) and a ladybug although now it kinda looks like he wants to eat them. *grimace* If someone has a supply of ether or enough sedatives, I might do it, but unless I can't feel ANYTHING, that one is not going to get any work any time soon. It's already been added to and touched up 3 times. I think that's all I can endure for now. After all, I'm not machocistic. I've typed that three times now and it STILL looks wrong. I can't spell for shit today.

While my first tat was flash, I had a clear vision of what I wanted and it just so happened that I found flash that was super close to what I wanted. Now, I would like to eventually have it touched up and gone over so it's not so cartoonish. I want it to be a fantasy-reality blend. Fantasy colors with realistic designs.

For those interested in what goes on before the ink goes in, I feel close to the butterfly. It represents metamorphosis and change and Heaven knows I've done a LOT of that in my life. Also, I was just first coming out to myself when I got my first tat. Life altering things lead to life altering decisions. I will always have at least one butterfly in any tat that I get. The ladybug and lizard are also representative of things I feel connected to. The lizard is supposed to help one go from one plane of existence to another and the ladybug is gentle. I always feel I could use more gentleness in my life, yanno?

So that's it for now. I have a bit of extra fluff in ye old account at this very moment and, for a brief moment, I heard the beckoning buzz of the needle, but it will have to wait. Car repairs, a laptop and a short trip are more important to me now.

Very nice work Linus were those done here in the Usa or Canada??

SF_Boi · 06-28-2010, 01:30 PM

I have a few tattoos. They mean a great deal to me, I really don't care what people think or the looks I get. Most of the time, it's very positive. I love to see the looks on peoples faces when they first see my tattoos, I just smile and look at them back. Sometimes I get questions inquiring: "does it hurt?" "What does it mean?" "Who does your work?" I just tell people my tattoos are the places, people, family and cultures that mean a great deal to me.

I'm still in the process of completing my work. It's a life long process of learning about myself, the world around me, and the beautiful things I have experienced.

All my tattoos were done at Yonge Street Tattoo in Toronto. Once I have surgery, I'll get a few more.

Guy · 06-28-2010, 02:19 PM

I have a tribal tattoo on one arm and a name on the other, but I want to get the name covered up and was thinking of getting an Italian phase having to do with or about Family.

I wouldn't get this, but think its funny, Esse nufesso qui dice male di macaruni which means Who speaks badly of Macaroni is a fool.

LoyalWolfsBlade · 06-20-2013, 01:08 PM

All of my tats are uploaded to the gallery including my newest one. A wolf's paw clawing out of me. All of mine hold meaning and a story as well all of them are of original design that came from me and how the artist interrupted the picture in my mind. I love ink and will be getting a new one for my back very soon.

Gosh, it's been nearly five years ago that I found this Japanese symbol for a tattoo idea..... I like it, too, still. I think if I ever did find a way to have this done, I think I'd want someone who's creative talent could make it look as good on me as it does in the photo. I only have one tattoo... I had it done back in 1999 (?).... then had it altered in 2005 (?). I'm thinking I want my tattoo altered again, as well. I know some tattoo artists up in the Seattle area, who once lived here. So if I ever do get the new tattoo, I'll have my tattoo artist friends up in Seattle complete the work for me.
