    Default I got my first tat

    Is it weird to wanna show it off the first couple months?Everyone said Id chicken out..Which I almost did(someone said it was like a lighter to the skin). The noise scared me but after that I barely felt it except when it hit around my sides and lower on my back. Its not exactly above my ass crack but right above my jean line.

    I know almost everyone has a "tramp stamp butterfly" but this has meaning to me personally about my personality transformation cuz a butterfly was once a catapillar...

    (the pic isnt working so ill post it laterz)

    A butterfly is part of my first tattoo design as well due to the fact that Vanessa means butterfly no matter where you look my name up ( http://babynames.com/Names/name_display.php?n=VANESSA ) plus having the tattoo in and of itself would be a transformative experience since I have "virgin" skin.

    I'm not chicken, I am just waiting to finally "be done" with this business. It is something I will do as a way to mark going from one transition of my life to the next.

    The butterfly is the most common tattoo theme for women, for exactly that reason. We tend to use them to mark transformations and stages, and the butterfly is symbolic of that, as well as being pretty and feminine.

    I really want a magnolia flower. I almost got it done, but they moved a guy ahead of me when he came in wanting something elaborate and expensive, so I didn't get to it. That's fine, because the friend I was there to get tattoos with is no longer my friend. (Long story.) I would hate to have a permanent reminder of a friendship that turned out to be a lie.

    I will get my magnolia flower one day if I ever get the money, but I'm not sure where I'd put it. I'm thinking of getting a very tiny one just inside my wrist, or possibly getting it on my toe.

    I don't have any tatts. I'm more into piercings myself. Do you think you've been bitten by the "tatt bug" TaintedLove?? They say once you get one tattoo, you're prone to get more. It's like a new addiction or something.

    I LOVE tattoos, and piercings, tattoos are expensive, so I only have a few small ones. Most of the piercings I have are gone now since i had to take all of the visible ones out for the culinary school I go to, they all closed up.

    I can't wait, I'm almost done with school so I can finally get my piercings back, and also celebrate with a new tattoo!

    Oh, Taintedlove, Congrats on the new tattoo!!

    congrats on going through with it!

    i'm addicted to tattoos....so much that i want to be a tattoo artist eventually. i worked in tattoo shops on and off for a long time, and started to learn about safety, cleaning and how the machines and tat guns work. it really inspired me to work toward having good equipment and an apprenticeship. dancing is what i'm doing to save money for all of that.

    instead of butterflies, i have about 8 or 9 moths on my back, skull and wrist. they're the 'goth' version of butterflies. LOL

    I love my tattoos and am always thrilled to hear that someone got their first ink done!! Congratulations!! So far I have 8 and growing... I want a BIG piece on my back to incorporate the faierie wings I got awhile ago. I was also thinking about getting one on the collarbone, but I hear the ink doesn't stay that well... We'll see, in due time, and money!! If you're interested in them, check out my profile (yes, I am a myspace whore...) myspace.com/pinkleatherblaze. What other tats do people have?

    They are very addicting. I'm terrified of needles, and sometimes ven cry when I have to have blood drawn (I don't get injections unless I'm seriously ill); however, I have 4 tattoos. I got my first one a month after I turned 18. They didn't hurt that badly. The one on top of my foot was the worst, followed by my lower back. My shoulder blades didn't hurt in the least. I got the kanji symbol for "strength/toughness" on my shoulder blade to signify my strength in overcoming leukemia. Then I got 2 other kanjis ("loyalty" and "peace") because they are both important to me as well. I'm also a huge cat lover, and have 6 cats back home, so I got 3 little cat paw prints on the top of my right foot. I eventally want a ring, an add-on to my sea turtle/peace kanji, and one on the back of my neck. Congrats and many more!

    i love my tats! i still show em off and they are old hack. my fave on me is my giant butterfly that covers the lower half of my back. my best compliment was from my one bouncer...
    me- "does this tattoo make my butt look good?"
    him- "no, its your butt that makes the tattoo look good"
    me- "no wonder you're getting married!"
    Don't give me lip! I'm bigger than you!

    Tattoos are wonderful. And they really are addictive. I have three myself, two on the lower back and one on my shoulder. I eventually plan on getting a ton of work done on my shoulders and arms.
    Whenever people give me the old,"You're gonna regret that when you're 60, it'll be all wrinkled and blah blah blah..." I always reply, "Yeah, well when you're that age, nobody wants to see your skin anyway."

    Sounds very familiar. When I graduate Im getting a phoenix on my back (itll be covering an older tattoo) The phoenix rises from its ashes and starts a new life...

    Im also planning on getting 2 koi in a kind of yin yang look with cherry blossoms by them...

    I love tattoos

    it was done in early august. this picture is from mid september. like i said, she traced a sketch i did and then tattooed it on me. it's the city's skyline, as seen from a footbridge to an island.
