Yay this thread lives on!
Penny, Oz, awesome ink! Penny, putting just that little bit of red in the center is so hot!
Oz are you doing that in stages for adding color/shading and such? It's hard to see from that angle but the design looks like it could come out *very* cool.
Yeah that's a really bad angle. I had the outline done in grey but it came out a little darker than expected. I'm getting her coloured in next week with the original 'flat' and pale colours and then i'm going to hunt around when I move to Canada for someone to add some more depth. As much as I love my artist at the moment, she's not the best for detail.
The grey should will fade to a bit lighter if it's still healing (not sure how old the pics was or how many you've watched heal...). All my tats were flat black until recently when I got one with some shading and one with some red. I'm going to add another with some red and when I think of what I want on my back it too will have a lot of shading/depth.
thanx (both of you) ... at work a lot of idiots come up to the stage asking me if it's a deer. like A LOT.... which is weird because no one said that before i started stripping.
*bangs head on wall*
heh
it's about 3 months now (was 1 day in the pic). It's basically the same colour now as my 7 year old black one. I have 6 although one has 8 parts done at different times and I heal really quickly. This will be the first colour, I'm so excited.
Here's mine. It's a symbol I grew up with and holds much significance for me.
Sorry about the glare in the pic.
So far my faves are PP and Sauske and Meganomaniac and Sirona's look so good on her!!
Would you believe it, I'm inkless and almost 23.
I want to get some words and phrases and letters first and foremost, but have to think of the right quote. Then I wanna get the Parkway South sign on my lower back pointing south....ha. I also want a nice and original lip tat. I'm too fucking choosy tho that's why I haven't gotten inked.
What are your secrets to getting such original tats?!?!?!
I'm really inspired by words tats, so anyone with those please speak up!
Here's a slightly old pic of me. I rock my lotus..I love it!

Yeauh, I said it!

Obviously I'm feeling a little webcam-happy tonight. The angles of some of these make me look like a mutant, but I promise you, I'm not abnormally proportioned, that's just weird foreshortening stuff going on.
The quality of 3 of my tattoos is... not great (butt stripes, wrist, calf). At the time I got them, I was young and stupid. Then I got 2 more, marginally better (arm and neck). I have left out a pic of the one on my leg because I like it the least right now.
Here are some more.
To Alaska who asked about getting ideas... mine are a mix of family crests/mottos, norse heritage stuff, very personal musical stuff, phoenixes (not terribly original but I like them), philosophy quotes, and one is a family heirloom of sorts. I thought about all the ideas a long time before getting them, especially for the first few; it kind of sped up after I broke the ice.
Love the phoenix's Odysseus.

It's a horrible picture, but here's me and my baby tat.
My favorite one yet- simple yet effective. I'm debating whether I should color them in or not.:)

Next is a feminist fist.
Oh my, I was wondering where you went! I couldn't figure this post out and then went searching for tattoo pics from this "ColetteCalahan". Hi!
Apparently we have matching posting habits as well.
Hehe I almost answered your question in trivia the other day, I would have felt pretty silly as I hadn't realized you switched names here, luckily I only came up with 2 girls (well three but one had less than 100 posts).
New Tat!

it's an armband-type of my three kids' chinese names, oldest-youngest/left-right.
they share the same family/clan name (of course), the same generational name, but the 3rd character in each grouping are their personal names. "wisdom", "heart", and "jade/coral"; respectively.
i like the first two but i thought the 3rd was a little iffy. meh.
in my family the paternal grandmother (my mom) picks the names. or at least i humor her enough to let her pick the names. :P
it's still scabbing so that's why there's the lotion that's shiney. pardon moi. ;D
