I need inspiration. I have 2. I will have 3 by tomorrow. If they're not that identifying can I please see photos? Or descriptions?

TheReigningLorelai awesome! Does that make us tattoo twins?! Love your rose and iris - did the ribs hurt?!

witsender · 04/02/2017 22:48

BabyTheCaveLion if there is such a thing as tattoo twins then yes I believe that's us! Ribs really hurt initially, but after while I got used to it and it was actually quite pleasant, which is odd.

I don't have any tattoos but love these threads especially the stories behind why people have had certain ones done.

I have friends with them including one female friend who has loads including a full sleeve but never had one myself. I've thought about getting a small one but think I'd regret it or go off the design after a while so don't want to risk it.

Jellybean83 · 05/02/2017 15:37

I'm the same FromIbizaToTheNorfolkBroads I'm too indecisive and I get bored easily so I've remained tattoo free. I compromised when I was younger by getting piercings, I've taken them all out now so I know I'd have regretted a tattoo, I would still really like one though, I just wouldn't know what or where.

KeiraH · 05/02/2017 16:19

Keep them coming! Bumping up the thread as I love seeing all the ink Smile

Last few of mine I promise! A quote is the ending from a poem by Christopher Pointdexter. I love his writing.
Two little bones for my two little boys and Jack the Pumpkin King sewing up her broken heart with his own ( I love nightmare before Christmas)

ENormaSnob · 05/02/2017 17:21

Can't post a pic of mine as its far too identifying.

It is a number and flowers on the inner aspect of my foot/ankle. I adore it.

Booked to have another in april. Undecided as to whether to have a floral anklet or a lavender down my wrist.

MaximilianNero · 05/02/2017 17:44

StumblyMonkey The gorgeous flower one you posted is a temporary by a great Etsy shop. I'm getting a couple of the floral ones myself, including that one, for some upcoming special occasions Smile

I don't have any tattoos, but I'm considering it. I have a couple of loose ideas that I can play with over the next couple of years until I'm certain and happy.

Until then I love looking at other people's! Some fabulous ones here. The 'Not all those who wonder are lost' sleeve is ace.

StumblyMonkey · 05/02/2017 17:56

Oooh....thanks for the tip off Max...I didn't know you could get such brilliant temp tattoos.

I love their Cat Lady one Grin

I might get the temps to see where I like the placement best...

MrsTeller · 05/02/2017 18:20

Can I ask some questions please?

How do you know if a tattoo artist is any good, is there a website I can search on?
Can you take a picture and ask them to copy it?

Fishandthechips · 05/02/2017 18:44

Witsender the feminist killjoy one is amazing! I love it. I also really like the storm in a teacup.

So many amazing tattoos on here. It's inspired me to book my next one.

PollytheDolly · 05/02/2017 18:53

I have 4 (including my wedding ring) but I'll show you this one. I was doodling at work my DH's name and thought afterwards that's not bad. So went to a well respected local artist and showed it to him and said, can you do this but make it look professional and arty, etc, you know, like you do. He said no. This is your writing and your doodle and I'm going to copy it exactly as you've drawn it as it's yours....
I love it as it is truly mine and he put his professional integrity up for ridicule to do it Grin

One of mine, pretty identifying if you know me I suppose.

Ah elledouble, no sorry I am in the southwest!

Also - nacho OMG no way! You must have seen it on her IG account?? I've totally outed myself there then. do I know you????

ThatIsNachoCheese · 06/02/2017 20:36

Yep I saw it on her IG, no i don't think we know each other!
You didn't out yourself, don't worry Smile
Amazing tattoo though, I love it. I'm planning to add to my shoulder one that she did very soon Smile

GreatScot8 · 06/02/2017 20:41

I don't have one yet.

When my beloved beagle passes (hopefully not anytime soon!), I plan to get a tiny Snoopy tattoo behind my ear. I'd like it done by Dr. Woo, ideally, as I like his style.

flowersandfoxes · 06/02/2017 20:46

Tattoos are not my thing at all, but some of these are amazing art.

Brightsmoke · 06/02/2017 21:01

Some of these are amazing! Mine are very identifying, but fuck it, any excuse to show them off!!

The sleeve is work in progress, and the angle of the pic doesn't do the horse justice, it really is incredible!

I also have butterflies on my foot, shooting stars on my hip, no.13 on my wrist and my wedding ring finger has mine and DH initials, but don't have pics or the pics are rubbish.

hollieberrie · 06/02/2017 21:07

Really enjoyed this thread, amazing tattoos. @ememem84 love yours and it looks really stylish with the chunky watch strap. Was it painful? I'd really like one on my inner wrist.

@bananafish81 love yours too. I've also recently lost my mum and would also about a tattoo, its really touching and beautiful.
