You might want to rethink the white ink thing...I have read that it tends to look like ugly scar tissue after a few years

Anyway, did you like the procedure? Does it look natural?

Everyone is different. I love tattoos and want more and more of them, but I will never get one in a place that could not easily be covered with clothing. That is just my preference. As the mom of school age kid and living in the town that I do, there are definitely times when I'd rather cover them. I am very proud of them, but they are mostly for me to look at, not the school board or the ladies I used to go to church with, etc.

this may sound cliched, but the pain is pleasure, a good kind of pain. no joke.

So true. I was nervous when I got mine, and it hurt, but then the endorphins kick in and, wow. It was kinda hot.

Mine is a small black salamander on my left ankle. I designed it myself.

I would like another one, on my upper arm. Either a kelp plant design, or a pacific northwest native animal totem like this one:

I have 3...a butterfly in colour on the inside of my right ankle (because it's something I've wanted since I was 11 and I waited almost 10 years to get it), a black tribal design on the left side of my lower back (my first tattoo at 19), and last but not least a full colour heart shaped lock with a purple ribbon on my lower back.

I'm thinking of getting another and I've already settled on the design, but I have yet to choose a location...time will tell where I get it!!

JoeyJo21: If you are certain you want a white tattoo, make sure you go to a skilled artist. Many won't do a tattoo in full white ink just because it may a) take a few sittings b) become over worked which causes unwanted scarring c) if you want a tattoo, why not get one that you can actually see? hehe!

however, if you're thinking of a white coloured hibisucus, you might think of using black to line it and light blue to do shading...just my two cents!

my last name in hebrew symbals on my neck (back)

[Zzuliyta]

i just read through the thread and i would love to see more pictures...
i wanted one when i was in college and i even designed one from my chinese nickname... i just never went through with it...
i think maybe when i lose weight i will do it... (which i think will be a long time still yet... lol)

I'm planning on adding to the sparrows, make it an entire back piece.

I play the cello and would love to get f holes tattooed onto the curves of my back, like a cello! actually, I"m planning on making an app. real soon - I'll post pics! :)

NorthernBell33 - Lindsey Lohan just got a white heart tattooed inbetween her thumb and pointer finger on her left hand... cute!

[JoeyJo21]

Bless! Thanks for the advice everyone thats so sweet of you. It's something I would really have to do my research on first so it probably won't happen until next year anyway. Lea, did you see LiLo's breathe tattoo too? It's gorgeous! Thats what made me like the whole white ink thing.

Toilet Duck I would love a coloured tattoo, but in my place of work we're not supposed to have tattoo's at all. I could get one on my back where it's hidden during work hours but I'm really into wrist ones at the moment after seeing the cute stars my friend got done on hers. I think it would be great to have a white one there whereby you only really notice it if you know about it.

Oh! I see...and I understand completely. I'd love to have a tattoo on my wrist as well, but my reason for not getting one is the same as yours. As mentioned in a previous post, I have a tattoo on my ankle which requires make up when I wear a skirt to the office...It's a bit of a hassle but well worth it IMHO! As for the wrist tattoo, since you're looking for something that's more subtle, white would be the way to go. I've seen some pretty white ones when they are done professionally. Good luck!

P.S. Although I'm not that into the meaning, I love Lindsay's 'Breathe' tattoo too!
