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.

I have a big piece: Swords down my upper-arms, single snake coiled around them.

Am thinking that I want to get this tattoo'd, near my hairline, somewhere between the back of my neck toward my right ear... The symbol for: Loyalty.

i got three tattoos one is kanji for water represents how my dad got me into life gaurding growing up its on my right forearm. i got another on my upper arm on my right arm of a tribal sun mainly cause of my zodiac i'll get a leo symbol in the middle of it lol....sometime. and my last is kanji for strength its for the strength my family and mainly my dad gave me growing up (but the red didnt take so had to get it redone in black . (never get a tatt when u work with some chemicals) i'm thinking of getting more but not for awhile i need to save up for my road trip home to visit.

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.

i soooo can't wait to complete my upper arm... and start my other one... half sleeves are gonna be awesome when complete... then... onto the back.... maybe... or legs... or.. or... *laughs* yes... this is my addiction!!!

i forgot about this thread!

Getting my recent work done has really been therapeutic for me. Not seeing that big lump or scar from my accident (which was the final straw in ending a marriage) and seeing a beautiful display of my drawings and the artist's vision is the best gift i could have ever given myself!

It will be finished in two weeks !

My last tattoo was not too long ago but the most meaningful one was back in 2015. It was a quote for my nephew that passed away, I have it on my upper back near where the neck and shoulders meet. Its covered at work but can be seen if I wear tank tops or a shirts. I will see if I can post a pic of it.

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.

Hm, I don't think I've posted in this thread?

My first was the women's power sign on the right side of my lower back.
Then I got a replica of a rather ancient stencil drawing of Eve on my left shoulder.
Then a willow tree/goddess on my stomach.
Then a tribal down my back, it runs between my shoulders and down my back then curves over my right hip and a little down my leg.
Then came a triple goddess between my shoulder blades with a Celtic knot woven through it.
Right now I'm working on a large piece, a Japanese Phoenix done in soft water colors. It's large and covers scars I have from surgeries I had from when I had cancer. It should be finished at the end of this month.

Oh, I forgot another! I have this on my arm: Just the image of the woman grabbing the sun- not the whole box.

[girl_dee]

my earlobes are tatted- vines which have gotten MUCH bigger over the years.....
my left wrist is infinity swirl
right ankle... Fleur Di lis after Katrina
left ankle rainbow heart
one on my hip... it's personal
and now... my bicep !
