I am not even in school yet but hopfully in spring. I got my first tat on the outer right side of my stomach, I think I was 16, Don't ask. My Second was a mushroom that I didn't want around the same age. My Bully Boyfriend that I lived with and took care of  made a tattoo gun one day and wanted to draw on me. I didn't have much say in that relationship. But , I got out by 19 and I got a boxer puppy. He Is my baby, so I covered up that shroom with my puppy on my right lower calf. Then on my 22 b-day I got a jap.symbol for DREAM on the back of my neck.  Around the same age I went and got the "Tramp Stamp"  I wouldn't have if I'd known that every girl over 18 in america has to have one by law it seems like. It's a Black and Purple tribal butterfly. I wish I had left it alone so I could do a huge back piece.

When one of my younger sisters wanted me totake her to get her 1st one I of coarse had to get another. It was aNaked Fairy on my outer left arm.

The boy I was in love w/, had more tatts than me, was in Iraq and hadn't seen it yet and I hadn't gotten the chance to tell him about it. it didn't even heal. Alls My mom Had to say to me after she asked how my day went looking for a job w/out any luck I was down about that ; se started to cry. My mom never crys, she said " I need you to be strong now." I didn't get it, I though she was upset about something I didn't get it until she said thru sobbs and tears " there was an accident" My world was changed forever.

I was ready to join the military, but the one on my neck was to high . I needed to ave it removed, Aslo my new Fairy on my arm needed a dress, that I would get in trouble for that, they wanted me to put a pink tutu on her, I came back the next day w/ a camo dress on her . they didn't laugh. I did. but I found out how long it would take to get the one off the back of my neck.

I cried until I couldn't anymore.

Met my now husband, whom I love and is wonderful.

He is not even into tatts. I covered the fairy on my arm with a cross, flowers,a banner with 1982-2005 at the bottom, another on top A M M his initials.

I have the idea in my head of what i'm going to do on the inside of my arm. It will me a symbol of my new Love and first Husband, so I will have a half sleeve. 

you can see the one on my arm I think, in some of my wedding pic's. The dress had a lace jacket, there is a good close up of that arm w/out the jacket if I uploaded it . If I didn't and you want to see just drop me a line.

When I was 16 a bunch of my friends went and wanted me to go, but I was too scared! I always regreted it, and for my 35th birthday I finally got one! I couldn't find exactly what I wanted, so the guy said,"go find a picture and bring it back". I found a pretty butterfly, and he did it in tropical colors on my L breast. Almost 20 years later, it's still pretty. I now want to get a couple more...just waiting to find the "perfect" picture!

Can u guess? ............Yup Butterflies. I got my first one on my thigh about 12 years ago. Then about 4 years ago 1 got a large butterfly across my lower back. Both can only be seen when I'm earing a swim suite.     Change is beautiful.

Left ankle....red rose with flowy vines around it with one that forms into a heart. Got it a few years ago when I turned 40. My sister in law, husband, and brother also got a tat on the same day! I am looking at getting a few more...next one on my upper middle back. It will be a sun and moon combined.

well i just got my first tattoo a couple months of ago on my neck area.... and for the record (chris shut up it isnt straight and its for a reason) it says no reins. its simple black and its done in like free flowing lettering... its the first part of what i what... im going to get my gemini sign on there as well as peace love and prosperity (sp.)on my right shoulder blade in different angles and such... and then i want to get like a big cloud put around everything but have it so the border is more tribal lookin and color it in like everything is free and independent.... sorry that prolly didnt make any sense at all.....

my second tat i got done about a week ago and its just the simple nursing symbol on my right bicep.... and well im a nurse so enough said about that one! hahaha

HEY.  I got 4 tats.  The first one an Unicorn on my breast done by Benny Russell in Williamsburg, NY I WAS 21 years old., the second one was done by myself when I was 24 is a heart with tribal around it, inside ankle.  My husband is a tatto artist and he did my last two a baby Koi and the simbol of the head chackra  OHM in stone, the back of my neck. Right now Iam working on a piece for my whole leg all sea life real and mitological.  I had love tattos since I was a kid I like to draw on my skin all the time used to get punished for it but I just kept on doing it.   I love henna tattoos also.   

I have 2 tats...I have a heart on my lower stomach, that was my first tattoo...I got it when my husband I were first dating, he actually came with me to Austin Texas and sat with my while I had it done.  I am going to add an Anchor to it, to symbolize the love I have for my Sailor.  I have one on my lower back..my husband has the same piece on his upper back.  It is tribal and signifies strength and unity.  My husband is thinking about getting another one. 

My dear sweet mother-n-law who I think so much about..great woman..asked me every year what I want for my B-Day and every year I would tell her a tattoo.  Just so happened that a few days after my birthday, we were on a family trip in the Smokey Mountains and she asked me what I wanted for my B-Day and again I said a tattoo....this is for my 40th birthday...

So we went down the mountain (which was up hill both ways..LOL) into a little town and found a shop.  My sister -n- law is going thru the shop makin sure everything looks good and sterile while I am picking out my design.  I decided to go with a vine and butterfly on the top of my skin and bone foot....OMG don't ever do that!      but it does look really cool when I ware flip-flops.

~~~ butterfly ~~~    (dosen't that look nice!) oh ya the "~~~" is the vine....lol 

Very cool....

I just got my third tatt, thanks again siss!  It's the infinity sign with a little bit of tirbal art done around it!! I just had it done last friday on my left wrist area! I Will have some pics up as soon as I can!!

i got my first tatt for my 24 b-day its on my right foot, a cherry blossom branch with purple flowers, its very pretty

I have two tats and two piercings.  My first tat was back when I was 17.  It's a butterfly and rose on my right breast.  My mom was so mad at me.  My other tat was done last year and it's a cute little devil on my left hip.  I do plan on getting one across my lower back this summer.  I need to draw it out and they will do it up!

Hi, well I have 4 tats a unicorn on my thigh(because I like them),ankle 3 hearts with my eldest child,& @ cuzins that have passed,forearm a rose(I Love roses),a purple heart on my bycep. Would get more but hubby does not like them.(got mine before him)

I had to laugh when I read your post, Gitano RN!  I drew my tat out and took it to a shop a lot of my co-workers had used, since I had proof of the workmanship from the artist.  Mine is a large purple-blue rose in the middle of two blooming smaller red rosebuds, symbolizing myself and my two children, with a green vine connecting us.  There's background on why I chose the colors I did as well- I got it done for my birthday this year, after a year of divorce, and have since finished school.  The best part is there is room for change as my life changes- looks like I may be adding a little red to my rose!
