In a moment of madness, and not least cos the tattoist is rather gorgeous, I went and had two tatts covered up today on my wrist. So instead of names I now have a rather nice purple rose and a couple of green leafy things! AND a wee tatt behind my right ear... looks great!
Got me wondering who has what Tatts, or is anyone planning a new one? And...love them or hate them?
I now have 16 I think.... various designs, mainly angels/fairies etc etc. Todays were the first with colour... and i have to say they look better for it.
lol Ian... all these years of having tatts, and I NEVER had a blokes name ever... although I do have my kids names.
The last blokie talked me into having his name tattooed on my wrist (both sides!) and about three months later walked out lolol...kiss of death I tell ya. Now he's been gone 6 months I felt it was time to delete him in more ways than one! Pleased with the tatts today though.
I woke up one morning in 1979 after a heavy session with a bandage on my arm, tried to recall how I injured myself, and low and behold . . . It was funny hearing similar 'Oh my God's from all round the messdeck (navy boys) then found 7 of us had all gone to a tat parlour half way through the sesh!!
I never regret it but i know some of them have tried lazer removal treatment, and/or cover ups since.
Only had one more - to balance up the arms, but still thinking of more.
I have a pegasus in flight through the clouds on my right shoulder, it was designed for me by a dear friend who passed away 10 years ago & I love it
Will have one done at the base of my spine when my son has designed one for me.
Nice one shell... I was going to have one lower back, but then I had one on the upper back, centred on my spine... and it hurt like nothing I had ever felt before! So never been brave enough to have the other one done...so respect!
I had my first about 20 years ago, a rose bud on my left b**b.It was the 9th one the tattooist had done. my husband had a skull peering thru a rip in his arm done at the same time. no more for years and years, then one on my lower back 5 years ago, then a flower on one shoulder, followed by a flower on the other shoulder, followed by the first flower having several more flowers and leaves etc added to make it cover about 8 inches by 10 of my shoulder and upper back. then I had the Eye of Horus intwined with the head of Anubis on the top of my back. last one was an extension of the one on my b**b, its now a beautiful rose. I want lots more, I agree they are addictive and I find the feeling of being tattooed oddly relaxing and i completely zone out. I usually have one done at momentus times in my life
I actually fell asleep the 1st time I had mine done lol... 20 years later when I had it 'touched up' as parts of it had started to fade it was a different story tho, then it hurt like hell as he was going over the same design so as he said was breaking through scar tissue which is harder than normal tissue.
My son has designed a few for me, he does some for the local tattoo place so I know that what I get will again be only me that has it... but he has not quite nailed the design that I like yet.
How come im only wimp to feel PAIN Ur all odd.
PS: MY one and only Tat is now healed lovely....I can now sunbath without me slippers on..I love my Tattoo...
Took my own design...But the clever man created a wrk of ART...Fanastic to watch it develop.
