Anybody got tattoos??

Hi guys,

I just recently got my 3rd tattoo on my foot/ankle on Tuesday. I absolutely love it! I was wondering if anyone else has any and if so what they are, where and the significance of them. My first one I got when I was 18 on my lower back. It is a dolphin with a moon going through it. I am a swimmer and was still competitively swimming then plus I love dolphins. My 2nd was on my lower hip and is a chinese sign for energy. My 3rd one winds around my right foot/ankle and is a flower with stars around it. Curious about everyone else....

No tattoos here. Wrong generation....but I have a funny story.

My daughter had mentioned that she wanted a tattoo and I had a serious meltdown. Flash forward a couple of years....she was in labor with her third child (hard labor) and the nurse decided that she needed a sonogram. So they bring in the machine and my daughter holds up her hand in the "stop" signal and says' date=' "Wait....first I have to tell my mother something". Seems she had a tattoo on her stomach (of all places) and had successfully hidden it from me for over a year.[/quote']

I can't believe I'm reading this!!! I got my first tattoo when I was 19 in a hidden part of my body (to the right of my bladder) during labor the same exact thing happened, except I didn't have time to tell the nurse to WAIT.... And my mother saw my tattoo. She cried... And my hubby told her not to worry, that I was a married woman already. She didn't like that much.

I have 5, one on my wrist of music notes, one on my hip of the love Chinese symbol (18 years old), 5 stars on my shoulder, a quote on my back "different eyes see different things, different hearts beat of different strings" a rush song, then my last one is a peacock cover up down my back. I really want more when I'm skinny! Love them!

Oh My! I love peacocks, so pretty!!

I have 3 tats...a rose with the stem going through the skin at the top of my breast, a frog on my calf, and three flowers that represent my two daughters and my former step-daughter. No regrets on any of them. I plan to get another one when I reach goal. Hoping its before I turn 52

I have shooting stars over my right shoulder blade. Each star is in different colors of the rainbow.

I have 7 tattoos, a tribal symbol on the lower back (tramp stamp) that I got when I was 16, then I got a leo symbol on the collar bone when I was 18 then I got "worthy of love" across my chest when I was 21... After that I got a friendship symbol on my inner ankle then I got the names "Michael" and "Anaya" on each shoulder and last I have a breast cancer ribbon saying "live" on my forearm

My favorite one is my Jiminy Cricket on my shoulder. Jiminy stands for a person's conscience, so my Jiminy has a black eye, his arm is in a sling and his clothes are a little disheveled. I'm always fighting my conscience..... I try to be a good girl, but well, shit happens

I just got my first one this summer... :)

Hi I have a sail boat on inside of left arm for my mom that died she loved the beach light houses n sail boats I have my 2 kids names on inside of wrist an I have the skyline of NYC with Brooklyn bridge on my chest my friend drew for me I'm crazy bout nyc only been once want to move that way some day I'm from south ms on voast beaches n casinos i want more tattoos they are very addictive but waiting to see where my skin falls first haha

I have 5, the last is a work in progress that will be finished on Weds.

1) an angel frog on a tribal above my right ankle (24 years old)

2) a key with wings. The head of the key has my children's first initials, the shaft of the key says integrity, it's our family word. (Age 37)

3) just breathe on my left ribs (Age 38 minus 4 days)

4) it is what it is on my right ribs (Age 38 minus 4 days)

5) sweet William blossoms with a ribbon saying tu me manques. It is french for I miss you, but the literal translation is "you are missing from me." My son left for boot camp for the marine corps. I know that I will never really see my sweet William again, so it is a tattoo of grief. The thing is, when it's done, I'm done grieving and will begin anxiously awaiting my Marine.

I have several more planned. One in celebration of my Marine, one in celebration of my next son being alive today despite a suicide attempt, one for my oldest daughter. I have yet to get a line on one for my youngest daughter.

I have one tattoo so far, of a beautiful colored flower on top of my right foot. I love it because you can see it when I wear any type of sandal or flip flops. I plan to get a couple more on inner wrists. One is going to be a heart with my daughter's name, and the second one is going to be an anchor to represent my Navy career.

I also have one on top of my left foot. It is a rose with my daughters initials and she also has a rose with mine. I always said I would get one if it was special enough and this was. Open to more but no raging desire...yet. mine is the lighter colored and my daughters is the red one.
