***Tattoo picture thread!***

[Phillycat]

I have two in pictures:


Fishbone (the band) tattoo on my hip.


I have one of these on the inside of each arm.

I also have tattoos on my right upper arm (the outside), a big one on my back, and around my ankle.

Post your own!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

1. Cool. I think hipbone tattoos are reallly sexy on chicks. These are my tattoos:

I've got a couple more planned.

[Phillycat]

2. Ooh, I really like your inner bicep symbol.

What does that mean?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

3. Strength.

I got it because it's kind of a hidden spot. And I've been through a lot, plus that's the arm I usually hurt people with in karate.

[Phillycat]

5. Yep, that's why I got my arm stars there.

They make me feel like a superhero. :D

[LostinVA]

4. I think they are, too... here's mine

[Phillycat]

6. Ooh, it was still fresh there, huh?

Is that your leg, below the knee?

[LostinVA]

10. My arm -- still blood on it

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

8. Is that you're only one?

I forget.

You know I'm a fan of armbands.

[LostinVA]

11. YES -- I want another one

But I'm saving my money up for a pool table.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

15. As much as I like tattoos, I like playing pool more.

Wise choice.

[LostinVA]

17. Yup... and they ain't cheap!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

18. Yeah, a good sturdy one is a couple grand used.

[LostinVA]

21. Yeah, and I've ben researching it:

A newer one is actually cheaper than older ones...

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

24. .

:spray:

:spank:

[LostinVA]

26. What??? It's true -- weird, huh?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

28. Totally weird, but true.

[LostinVA]

30. So, the internet site I found said that they are also easier to play on

Must be the way they're balanced or something.... I dunno...

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

32. Must be, plus the felt is smoother.

[LostinVA]

36. Huh... I didn't think of that....

[LostinVA]

7. Damn, I forgot how hot they are all

Sexy...

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

9. You know it...

[LostinVA]

12. *THUD*

Good thing I'm not working any today.... DAMN

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

16. .

:evilgrin:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

13. here is mine

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

20. The lambda looks good on you.

I'm glad you went with that one.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

25. its funny...but even people in the gay community dont know what it is.

its a bit sad really

i am still thinking of getting a rainbow pattern...i just dont know what symbol to use...any ideas would be appreciated...

i dont want to go with stars

[Phillycat]

22. Pretty and feminine.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

23. thanks...yours look great too.

[asthmaticeog]

14. I have no decent pics of any of mine.

:cry:

[Phillycat]

19. "Decent" is relative. You can't even really see mine in the first pic.

Post something god damn you!

[asthmaticeog]

63. Decent or not, I don't have any here at work.

You'll just have to wait. :P

[Phillycat]

71. Tease!!

:D

[asthmaticeog]

72. They're no great shakes anyway, I promise.

It's mostly shit from college, when friends of mine were apprenticing at tattooing and needed brave volunteers. Not as grimly bad as prison tats, but nothing especially worth showing off, either. I probably should have just left this thread alone...

[momophile]

27. okay, I don't know that I can keep up with the sexy lesbian

tattoos, but here is one of my three. The other two aren't photographing well enough.
:hi:

[Phillycat]

29. Hey, I'm not a lesbian! :)

Nice. I like the whale's tail disappearing into the surf.

[momophile]

31. thanks.

I really like your star but I'm wondering is it a symbol for something?

[Phillycat]

33. Nope. :)

It was my 5th and 6th tattoo. I don't really care that they're "meaningful" anymore, I just put them on if they look cool. :D

[momophile]

35. I like it! It's very bright. nt

[bicentennial_baby]

34. Here are mine:

[momophile]

37. I remember seeing that bottom one before

it is so cool!

[bicentennial_baby]

38. thank you!

it's my favorite :)

[Phillycat]

40. I like the one on the back of your neck

I've always wanted one there. How did that feel?

[bicentennial_baby]

43. Not too bad, by comparison

The one on my chest hurt like hell, and the hearts on the inner arm killed. The neck, not so bad. :)

[Phillycat]

46. The inner arm was the fucking WORST

And I have a big one over my spine that took 5 and a half hours. That was NOTHING compared to the 20-30 minutes for each inner arm star. I was making noises like I was having an orgasm, heh. I couldn't believe how much it hurt, and I have a damned high pain tolerance. Of course, it felt awesome at the same time - but maybe I'm the only one who thinks that...I've said too much... :blush:

[MissMillie]

39. I have two, but I don't have pics of my body w/ the tattoos

just of what the tattoos look like:

inside of my left ankle


upper right thigh

[Phillycat]

41. Oh, I love that little penguin guy!

I love penguins. :loveya:

[leftofthedial]

42. whatever happened to an anchor, with "Mom"

on the forearm?

[Phillycat]

45. My grandfather died.

:D

[seemunkee]

77. My dad had the anchor with "USN "

[leftofthedial]

83. I have a retired Marine friend

with a tattoo of Lady Liberty (like on a Liberty dime).

I'm not a tattoo fan, but that one is pretty cool.

[BarenakedLady]

44. I would but

I can't :blush:

[Phillycat]

47. Boob? Butt?

[BarenakedLady]

50. My tushie

it's just a small red heart. I want to get more, but haven't decided what yet or where.

[Phillycat]

53. Actually,

the Fishbone tattoo on my hip above started life as a small red heart - I got it when I was 18 and had it covered when I was 19. :D

[Truebrit71sbruv]

69. phooey...

... ya should post a pic... no-one gets easily embarrassed in here... :P

[NewWaveChick1981]

48. Here you go...

:P There's gotta be a smartass in every crowd... :rofl:

The only tattoos I've ever had have been the rub-on kind. :)

[Phillycat]

49. HA!

Smartass. :D

[NewWaveChick1981]

51. ...

Toldja...:rofl: BTW, your tattoos are very cool! :)

[YankeyMCC]

52. My First one

this pic was taken the day after it was done. It's on my calf.

?v=0

[Phillycat]

54. Very cool!

Does it have a Buddhist or Hindu connection? Doesn't one of those religions believe the world rides on the back of a huge turtle?

[YankeyMCC]

57. Native American

The world as a turtle is fairly common I think.

I took it from the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) symbol for the world or rather "the island" which is often how they refereed to North America.

There are 13 segments (in my tattoo they are along the edge, but traditionally they cover the whole shell) representing the 13 moons of the year. Occasionally the 13 segments where meant to represent the 13 colonies in treaties during the American colonial period.

I altered it to include the image (tree and mountain) I associate with the White Mountains in New England (NH and Maine) where I spend a lot of time.

My son actually drew it up from my description and that is what the tattoo artist based it on.

[Phillycat]

59. That is really awesome.

And even more special since your son drew it for you. :)

[YankeyMCC]

62. Thx! I extremely happy with it. n/t

[billyskank]

55. You are beautiful, janesez

and your tattoos are very pretty.

[Phillycat]

56. Oh, you...

:loveya: :blush:

[billyskank]

58. If only I was taller than 5' 8"

;)

[Phillycat]

60. Don't they sell racks in England?

Get to it, man!! :D

[billyskank]

61. Well, I guess it'd be worth it

:D

[ghostsofgiants]

64. I don't have any (yet), but this is a friend of mine's half sleeve...

It's a full sleeve now, but the pictures aren't up on the shop's site.

[Phillycat]

65. Wonderful colors!

I love that aqua/mint green in the first shot. They didn't have colors like that when I first started getting inked. :D

[Schema Thing]

66. The hip is sexy as hell...

...but the inner arm thing is just making me wince in sympathetic pain! yoiks! I've never had any tattoo work done, but I can only imagine how sensitive that spot is.

now let's see that bicep, baby ;)

[Phillycat]

68. It was horrendous.

As I posted above, it was by far the most painful spot I've had tattooed. I was dying, but I was also enjoying it a lot. Heh, perhaps I've said too much...again... :blush:

[Truebrit71sbruv]

78. Sits quietly...

... taking notes, whilst having half an eye on the goody-bag...

[Schema Thing]

89. Oh my.

:evilgrin: accompanied by a :blush:

[LynneSin]

67. Here are my Tattoo pictures

[Phillycat]

70. NewWaveChick beat you to it!

But you are equal smartasses. :spank:

[Truebrit71sbruv]

73. Pardon me but...

... dayum... that all looks just fabulous...

... and the tats aren't that bad either...

[Phillycat]

74. Thanks!

:D

[huskerlaw]

75. I have two

Small heart on my right hip bone and a dolphin on my left shoulder blade.

Sorry, no pics. :(

[Phillycat]

76. Heh...

the Fishbone tattoo on my right hip used to be a heart too!

[huskerlaw]

79. My heart tattoo

actually has more significance than the dolphin does.

I got the dolphin when I was 21 and just desperately wanted a tat. Not that I don't like dolphins, I do, of course.

But the heart actually has meaning. 5 of my very best girl friends also have the same heart tat. We all got them during a "girl's week out" vacation.

[sakabatou]

80. If I could get one...

[Phillycat]

81. Huh, interesting!

What is that?

[sakabatou]

82. A design I made myself

My own representation of a seraphim.

[Phillycat]

84. And why can't you get it?

[sakabatou]

85. "We got tattooed by the Nazis, why do it again?"

[Phillycat]

86. This is your parents speaking, I assume?

I can understand their reactions, I have to say. That is a seriously negative connotation.

[sakabatou]

87. Yeah, that's my parents

I don't like having the sense of getting something permanent that's not biological.

[Phillycat]

88. Well, then, a tattoo is definitely not for you. :)

They're definitely permanent. :D Although you really don't see them after they've been on your body for a while.

[VforVicarious]

90. Two of my three

Tattoo of Leatherface on my right calf




Gorilla on my left upper arm

Also got a rebel flag skull and bones on my right upper arm. I'll try to get a pic of it later

[WindRavenX]

91. my phoenix tat:

I have two small ones on my back, but I don't have pictures--sorry!

[RetroLounge]

92. Couldn't get a good picture, but here it is

It's an Angel from an MC Escher print...
