Here are my cherry blossoms

I have a tattoo on my back that goes shoulder to shoulder, up to my neck and down to my bra strap. It is personal and meaningful to me, but I don't think tattoos have to be....if you like it, get it. It's your body and you have this one life....

here is a crap picture I took myself:

I have a tatoo on my upper arm and it really didnt hurt a bit! If that's all that's stopping you, go ahead and take the plunge! You'll be glad you did it!

As far as pain goes, my backpiece was 12 hours (4 sittings at 3 hours each) of pure hell. However, I also have both calves tattooed and they were not too bad. Well, I could not read a book during my session, but I was not cursing and sweating the whole time either.

My tattooer told me that the torso tends to hurt more. Arms and legs hurt less. I have heard feet are the WORST pain ever.

I have a small tattoo on the inside of my left wrist that took literally 3 minutes from start to finish! It didn't hurt one bit but then again it is one color and a simple design. It is of this: http://www.welltempered.net/adinkra/...inkra/dwen.htm

Thank you! I have to go in for a touch up soon. If you look closely, the blossom in the middle is fainter than the rest. I asked everyone else if they noticed anything and it usually takes them awhile to see it. But it bothers me because I look at it all the time and see it right away.

Thanks!! It was actually a cover up. I had some tribal work before that.

I just got a new one last weekend with my brother and fiance! We're quite the quirky little family, us 3. On Saturday we realized it was 6 months exactly until our wedding and decided to go tuxedo shopping. The store was crowded and we decided to leave. *Randomly* my brother said "hey, we should all 3 of us get tattoos together to mark the occasion!" - long story short, all three of us got tattoos on our right hips of Murakami-inspired cherries. The cherry is a symbol/inside joke with us - has been for a long time. As our family struggles with depression/mania - we decided we wanted to get an animated cherry - and immediately remembered the cherry mania that was the cerises line for Louis Vuitton, done by Murakami.



We wanted something to make us smile. I even named mine "happy" teeheehee. I have pictures, but being a gastric bypass patient, my lower abdomen is *covered* with excess skin and stretch marks - hence, not so pretty. It was actually quite a feat finding an artist to tattoo me - and my skin needed to be held in place by my fiance during the actual tattooing. We went in between two large indented stretch marks with the piece. I lost 160 pounds - and am very proud of my body. I do not plan on having skin removal surgery. The cherry is for us three to know about - like a birth mark that we all have. It's not like I ever show my abdomen, as it would provoke quite a bit of questions from onlookers.

If you'd like to see it, e-mail me. I'm not gonna post it because it's a bit wonky looking - don't wanna scare anyone
