    I'm thinking of getting a Salvador Dali'esque melting clock to remind myself that every day is precious and not to waste a moment.
    that would look really good on a shouldercap or shoulder on the back.

    Great idea and concept! Haven't seen that on someone. Have you found an artist yet because it looks easy to screw up.

    I love my new tat and strongly believe in people getting tats with a meaning behind them that means something to them.

    Mine is a flaming lotus with a phoenix coming out of the flames. The lotus is to remind me of peace, the fire is sort of meant to be cleansing and the phoenix symbolizes strength.

    I want a snowflake -- in stencil art style, but don't have any idea about where to put it. Also want the word "Namaste" -- possibly in big black Olde English font going across my upper back. And want flowers...lotus flowers and cherry blossoms in a Japanese sleeve with gray and black background swirls.

    I have been thinking of getting an armband with hieroglyphics--cartouches with both names, etc. I know it would look cool as hell but the permanence thing bothers me.

    Also I have also seen SO MANY really shitty tattoos, on so many people. Thousands of them, enough for a lifetime. For some of them it might be legitimate body art, for the vast majority, it's so clearly a fad and a mindless/conformist thing rather than a truly innovative/creative thing. I am not a conformist, and it takes a lot of creativity to impress me anymore.

    I have a friend who has a Dali melting clock, and it's done incredibly well. Make sure you research artists in your area, look at their work, talk to people, etc. I have several tats, some not so well done, some quite nice. They all mean something to me, though, and that's why I got them. I have been planning full sleeves and backpiece work for about 10+ years. My mind still changes about some things all the time. I know I'll get around to it eventually, but there's no rush.

    Yes, I have a tattoo in between my shoulder blades that I don't want anymore. I'm going to cover it up with a little naked trucker mud flap girl with stripper shoes on.

    I want to add more flowers to the one over my heart. Tis for my mom so it'd be what she liked. Yellow roses, Black-eyed susans, and Tiger lilies. Then I have two touch-ups to do. I also want wings on my back, and the last two of my totem animals on my upper back.

    The Dali clock would be hot. He's one of my favorite artists. You can show it off to me next time you go strip-clubbing in NYC.

    People have bad ink mostly because they lacked patience and foresight. Finding a really good artist for a really meaningful piece that complements your body and coming up with an idea that works takes a while. Many people get spontaneous tattoos with little thought as to actualization.

    I want a sleeve/sleeves so badly... children's book characters, to go along with my backpiece. Unfortunately, law=no sleeves.

    Seriously? You mean if you are a dancer you can't have sleeves? BTW your back piece is beautiful.

    I'm getting a peacock feather tattooed on my foot. I used to visit my grandparents farm in Indiana every summer and my grandpa would give me a seed and tell me to plant it somewhere in the yard. When I woke up the next morning there would be a peacock feather exactly where I planted the seed! This mystified me for years, and I would look forward to planting the "peacock feather seed" every summer.

    My grandpa passed away on January 23rd of this year so I'm going to wait until January 23rd to get it done. I'm doing it on my foot because I used to run around in the yard barefoot all the time up there, plus it will be visible all the time because I rarely wear actual shoes

    Going to a good artist doesn't mean they are going to look good forever. The hubby has an armband of flames that goes all the way around his bicep, underside too, with a wolf on the outside. It was done by some famous guy when he lived in San Diego, the guy did a bunch of famous peoples tatoos and is supposedly fantastic. It looked awesome for 6 or 7 years, but now it's 14 yrs old and looks kind of faded and the edges are blurred a bit. Not nice at all.

    That's just called a tattoo. They're notorious for doing that.

    Now I'm super confused by the tatoo thing. I mean, WHY on earth get something permanent on your body knowing it is going to look like shit in a few years? Do they really all do this? I thought it was just some weird thing that happened to hubby's.

    I always wanted a tatoo, but just never got around to getting one. If it's true that they all fade and smear, I'm pretty damn glad though.

    No, they pretty much all do that. That's why I got mine done in only black and white and with thin basic lines... because when it starts to spread it'll still look okay. They smear because the skin loses elasticity over time and slowly it becomes more and more faded (from sun) and stretchy (from age).

    Wow! That is good info to have. I knew they could stretch from skin sagging, but didn't consider the ink just spreading. I'm seriously glad I was so commitment shy in my younger days.

    What you're describing when the lines look blurry is when the tat artist goes in too deep and at a bad angle. Also sun exposure can cause loss of color and blur of lines. Lysondra is also correct in her statement. Many things happen over time to the tat. So take care of it by wearing sunscreen and no fluctuating weight.

    all tattoos need some touch ups at one point or another. sun damage is a main factor.

    but if your lines are spreading, your artist went too deep, and if he went too deep hes not a good artist that or he wasnt giving a rats ass.
