Doo Yoo Tattoo?

LadyLouboutin08 · Sep 3rd, 2008, 01:22 AM

Nope I don't have any tattoo's I'm too scared to get one, although I'm contemplating getting something on the inside of my wrist. My boyfriend has them though, all up, and down his arms.

The tattoo looks a lot lighter than it did when it was first finished because I specifically asked for it to be done in a dark grey rather than a harsh black. It represents something special to me and I didn't get it to garner attention from others so that's why it isn't distinctly dark as a normal tattoo would be. In any case, I absolutely adore it and couldn't be happier with how it turned out.
LivinLuxuriously, your veins have nothing on mine hun! I have tiny arms and prominent veins that I despise but at least now I have the dove as a beautiful distraction. BTW I love how your tatt's looking now!
Thanks everyone for your comments and words of reassurance about getting inked. Much appreciated!

It turned out very nice....it looks great, I think the grey was a fabulous choice.

Wow..I love the grey. It isn't pink or anything....It looks delicate, like someone just drew it on your wrist with a pen.

Got another tattoo a couple weeks ago...still healing so it looks a bit faded. It's in honor of my mom, a piano teacher, who was diagnosed with cancer last month.

This is her signature trademark on every written correspondence. The eyes look a bit wonky in the pic, but they are actually perfectly round.

The other tattoo is an origami crane I posted about earlier in this thread.

Very sweet!! I am so sorry to hear about your mom!!

I'll be praying!

Here's a photo taken about an hour after I had the tattoo done on Friday last week. You can see the pink flush to my skin and the flaking around the lines.

And here it is today... 6 days post-tatt. Looking and feeling great!

!!!!!!!!!

I made an appointment for October 23 with my tattoo artist to add onto the ink on my back. Super excited! Below is what I currently have, which was done by the same artist (Scott White of Altered State Tattoo in Lake Worth).

In keeping with the traditional theme of the tattoo, I'm going to add a parchment-looking tattered scroll/banner on the bottom, below the anchor and stretching all the way across the length of the tattoo, somewhat similar to this, but more horizontal and with scroll handles at the ends. This photo isn't the greatest.

In the scroll will be the lyrics "there's no point to surrender" in script, which is part of lyrics from my favorite band, Hot Water Music. The actual line is, "I must always remember; there's no point to surrender," but the entire lyric won't fit on the banner.

Just wanted to share, as I am really looking forward to it! It has taken me a couple of years to decide that I wanted to add onto what I have, but I think it will look great.

I have three, my first is a sun on the inside of my right ankle, the 2nd is the flowers from my wedding. I got married in Hawaii and was completely obsessed with the perfect pink and yellow plumeria flowers that were all over the place, so I got them tattooed on the top of my left foot.

And I just got my 3rd one last night, I got "as long as I breathe, I hope" in latin on the inside of my left wrist. Compared to my other two, it HURT!

imashopaholic, I LOVE your dove!!! I love that you did grey not black!

I found this like while googling "expensive tattoo's". He has clients like susan sarandon heidi klum. He also charges approx. $350 an hour. The tattoo's in his portforlio under fine arts are amazing!

Chaotic- What exactly is that supposed to mean? The girl grabbing your neck?

Cristina- I like that tat on your back!
