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

Wow...congrats on losing weight and on your new cherry. I'm sure it looks fabulous.

Tattoos shouldn't be for anyone else but ourselves!

I kinda think I want *one* more tattoo before I move from my quaint little college town, get married, and become a *gulp* grown up. I think I want a lady bug on a rib on my left side. It's a stretch mark free area. I want it to look like it just landed there - as a symbol of good luck - just perched, preparing to crawl itself from rib-to-rib... does this sound strange? lol. It's my birthday today... I'm getting birthday money... hmmm...

Something like this:

I've got an appt for Wednesday to get my first tattoo! I'm so excited about it.

It's the word 'Breathe' translated into the Elvish Tengwar script (and yes, I've had several people do it, so it doesn't say like...boob, or something, lol).

I'm not entirely sure where I want to put it, but it's basically a reminder for me to just relax (I get super stressed and then have panic attacks) and take a deep breath. The script comes from the idea that well, A) I'm a big fantasy dork and B) it's something that means something to me and not everyone else can read it.

^_^

I'll post pictures when I get it done ^__^

No. I think if you have a small, indiscreet one then ok but not into the "Amy Winehouse" look!

LivinLuxoriously, In addition to my other foot tat, I used to have a ladybug and within 3 months of having it it got pretty blurry...was told it was because it as so small. I have since had it covered with a gorgeous rose. Perhaps I will post that pic here one day. If you are going that small be sure to have the BEST artist do it. I know when I watched Miami Ink I can still rememeber the woman there doing a penny tat on someone and they were concerned about it getting blurry and looking like a blob...and she is a damn good artist. Oh, and I should add that I got in my bikini area and there was absolutely no fat there at all and i never gained weight or did anything that should have effected it. I would be careful going small cause it can turn into a blob. (And my lady bug was so cute...I had them do a instead of a spot a black heart where the wings met!) Also, when I went for the coverup I had a woman artist do the rose and she found it disturbing that I would have an insect in that female area! I thought that was funny!

Wow, kellykapoor and Frankie... very nice tattoos...
I have been checking the adinkra symbols recommended by b00mbaka and i may get one of them... some of them are very meaningful...
i just need to make up my mind and find the time to visit the parlor... but life is too hectic at the moment with work and the children!

tPF

and the bags have kept me sane when things were going really bad... thinking of bags was so good, it took my mind off other worries

... though it has been a very expensive therapy!
I dont regret it, though... and can boast four beautiful chloes now that make me the happiest woman on earth

...

oh hun,
you poor thing what a rough time, i to always come on here to take my mind of stuff the chloe gang are the best on this forum. i love them all

Ditto for me although I new a 80 year old lady who had a "Broken chain" put on her upper arm. Way to go I say

I got a tattoo in memory of my sister when I was in Vegas the last few days. It is a line from Foreigner's "I Want To Know What Love Is" as that was her favourite song and played at her funeral when she passed away last May. It's on my lower back (the strings in the pic are from the camera cord).

Charisma, it is my understanding that removing a tattoo is much more painful than getting one. I know one person started the removal process and said he would have kept the tattoo if he knew how painful it was going to be. I've seen a tattoo removal get done on LA Ink. It can be a long and painful process.

That is why I always say that you should make sure you are getting something you really want!
