I only have 2.
One on my leg of a baby angel sleeping on a cloud in memory of my dd who died at 8 hours old. I also have a butterfly on my forearm in memory of my friend who passed away a year ago. She loved butterflies, and it also has her signature on it. I'm planning to get 3 "Little Devils" on my other leg to represent my sons. My dd is my angel and my boys are "little devils" (said with love).

2, 3 butterfly and a locket and flower

Rafflesway · 16/01/2020 23:09

Zero!

Really hate them although have to admit I can understand why RootBeer decided upon the 2 she has.

ClientListQueen · 16/01/2020 23:11

I should probably say what mine are!

Ankle - flower/horseshoe, "always" with a heart, and the Manchester bee
Thighs - butterfly/lily/rose designs on both, one has a Buffy quote, the other Maya Angelou
Wrist - "strong"
Stomach - two random Japanese characters I was 18 what can I say
Back - a cross, and a giant cherry blossom piece with "I am woman now, I am made of steel" and a Japanese character which is now covered up

Foxes157 · 16/01/2020 23:19

I should say the butterfiles relate to my children, and the locket and a pink rose relates to my marriage as it's our wedding flower.

2 both stick and poke (very common Grin ) A semi colon on my wrist for a life continued instead of ending and an exclamation mark on my finger as a reminder to be loud and stand up for myself after a lifetime of never putting myself anywhere near first.

I want rat footprints on my shoulder as a reminder of all my past rats who stood there with me through good times and bad.

amazedmummy · 16/01/2020 23:35

I have 6.
One quote from a book my mum read to me as a child.
The birth flowers for a baby I lost before they were born.
One of DCat.
Another of DCat2.
A mandala pattern
A lotus mandala pattern over the top of my foot, I think this one is my favourite aesthetically but some of the others obviously mean more.

A stylised owl which has symbols important to me incorporated...a sunflower, 2 little ducks, 9 triangles. On right forearm.
A mermaid riding a frog holding a black star. This is a David Bowie memorial done my way. He had a man riding a dolphin.
A tiny seahorse on my bum. Just because!

WhoisitnowRalph · 17/01/2020 03:49

Just 1 - a fairly slim, elegant chain of tiny roses in the shape of a heart on my inner wrist. Originally it was a shared one with my best friend who has the identical tattoo, but the day I had it done coincided with the unexpected death of my dog, so it's in her memory too. I may have something discreet added to personalise it to her.

OhWellThatsJustGreat · 17/01/2020 04:18

Does it count as 4 or 1?
I have 4 love hearts on my wrist going up my arm to represent dh, me, ds and dog.

Flyinglemur · 17/01/2020 07:18

Did have 1, but had it removed with laser.

Keepmewarm · 17/01/2020 07:22
  1. I quite like them on others but not for me.
MiseryChops · 17/01/2020 07:25

I knew when I seen the thread title that someone would come along to let us all know they hate tattoos.
@Rafflesway
The title was how many tattoos do you have and what of.

Bezalelle · 17/01/2020 07:29

Nine altogether.

Japanese symbol on back of neck (white tattoo)
Back piece made up of five separate tattoos
Flowers on bum (the "Cheryl Cole" Grin)
Big thigh piece
One on each inner wrist

Having my wrist tattoos removed though, as I've fallen out of love with them.

Will probably have another when DC is born in his/her honour.

Would also like a memorial to my bio dad at some point.

A treble clef on my wrist
My daughters & my thumbprint in the shape of a heart on my other wrist (hard to describe)

Sugar/geometric skull
Skull and bows
Gemstone hearts
Loads!

HeronLanyon · 17/01/2020 07:47
Sometimes (often) I think this is because I just don’t like them (for me). Sometimes I do like them on others. Pretty sure I will never have one.
