All the tats have "special" meaning... this I nope, that one needs to be resized, but here's a tat of my dad's African Grey Bird, "his name is Budwiser, but you can call me Buddy"

I really like that Texas one.

I sent my mom the link, and hopefully she'll post pictures in here. She's lazy with pictures, and shrinking them, so I may have to get her to email them and then shrink them myself.

She got a really cool one on the back of her whole calf, of a lizard. But it looks sort of primitive, where it is sort of segmented.

Hopefully she posts. That was the only picture I had of her tatts.

Great pictures everyone!!

There are two shows that will be starting up, one is Inked, which I THINK is going to be on A&E, and there was another one, but I forget which channel. I think TLC. I'll have to ask my mom.

They've already started Eeyore. Inked is on A/E and Miami Ink is on TLC. I really like Miami Ink. I missed Inked this week though, so I hope they repeat it this weekend.

Great pics everyone!! I'm getting some good ideas lol.

Yay, a topic I love....Silly, did your artist work in a shop in Seattle. I have gotten all three of mine at "Slave to the Needle" Great place in Seattle. I got my first one at 47 and am itching for my 4th. It's been about 3 years since my last. Mocha, you are so right. They are addicting. My ankle was probably the most painful (and really not that bad) and I sort of enjoyed the pain on my armband (kinky or what).
See what you guys have done...got me all in the mood again...HMMM, I don't have any plans this weekend...maybe......

Addiction isn't the right word for me. It's more of a huge rush. My first one the guy was just about ready to start, stood up and told me he was glad I was excited but you have got to stop jumping up and down, LOL. It's kinda like the feeling I get when I'm getting on a roller coaster.

I am really loving all of these stories and pictures! It's great!

Crzndeb-Nope, he didn't work in Seattle. He was just visiting. He actually lives in Minnesota and does tattoos for professional wrestlers! Lol. He's a great artist and guy. He did great work.

I can't wait to get my next one. I just need to lose a few pounds so I can feel comfortable putting a new tattoo on me!

Vacanick, I think that is a great idea. Very sweet too.

Cher, I've heard the ankle area hurts...did yours?

Hermi, I've never seen anything like that cougar. Unique...I like it. Sweet story about the rocks.

Wargod, the butterfly on a vine sounds very pretty. Photos? The eagle will be really special.

Saxy, I really like that tattoo. So fitting and love the turquoise.

Mocha,since I've only had the one tattoo, I can't compare but it didn't hurt too much. Mine was on the chest too. I've read any tattoo on a joint or bone (nerves) is more painful.

Eeyore, at first I was surprised that your Mom would get her first tattoo at 50. Then, I realized I'm 52 and after spending time reading this thread today....I started thinking about it...but no, not again. I don't think I want any added pain right now since I'm getting dental work done.

Reader, how old were your parents when they starting getting tattoos? Sweet story.

Crzndeb, what do your tattoos look like?

--------------------

I googled early this morning to find something that looked like my cherry blossom tattoo. Found photos of cherry blossoms, but not of a cherry blossom tattoo. I tried to post the photo of a cherry blossom here (even tho' I know you know what they look like)...so I could better explain what it looked like. Didn't have much luck posting that photo here. However, somehow I've managed to create a huge screensaver of a large pagoda with 2 cherry blossom trees. lol (no, my tattoo didn't include two trees and a pagoda lol..it was small and detailed). Still trying to delete that darn screensaver, no luck yet. At least it's a pretty photo. lol

I cringe at thinking what that tattoo might look like today,though. With the boobs hanging lower with age/gravity that dainty short twig may have stretched to a foot-long branch. Not pretty.

beautiful Mocha! I love the butterfly! My friend got a butterfly on her foot and I was not impressed...it was the typical four leafed butterfly...but it had no spunk...no life. Yours looks like a real butterfly! Love it!

what, no chest shot? J/K

Crzndeb, lol, that's pretty much what I've been like for all of mine. If I wasn't hollering yippee it was woo hoo!!!! I'll get some pics later on when I find my camera. I put that sucker somewhere I'd know where it was at and haven't seen it since, lol.

I'll have to wait for my daughter to show up to take pics of mine (I just don't get how a BF is more important than Mom..LOL!)...I haven't taught the dog the art of picture taking yet.
Abby- I have a cuff on my upper arm with some vines with 3 blue stars intertwined on each side and a yellow half moon lying on it's side in the middle. A flower on my left ankle and a sun on my left hip (looks more like a starfish since it's blue and purple.
I wanted something that I would still like at 80, and at 54 it seems to coming faster than I would like. But ya know, I love it when people think I'm 15 years younger than I am.

Wow!! Love looking!

Abby, my dad got his 1st tattoo in Hawaii on a 2nd honeymoon, I think he was in his fifties. I think my mom just got hers this year... or last!! I think they both just started adding them!! I know they talk about it, my brother got an eagle on his arm, large... now his dd, 18 got the one above the bikini line in the back, and I think the yellow rose, mom was saying we all should have yellow roses for TX, in rememberence of her mom... I said I wasnt sure if Grandma would roll over in her grave, or just roflol!! Mom didnt get my humor!! Grandma wasnt ever very progressive!!

and dh and I just shrug, thinking well, we dont have tattoos, but the kids just think they'll wait till they get older, and make sure it will look good in thier 80's - lol...

Times have changed, but I'm too big of a pain freak to get one, but I do like them!!

Am I the only guy?
