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....

I got this one last year shortly after my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. Glad to report she is doing well!

My dad and I raced sailboats my whole life, once I was out of diapers. He's world class so it took years till I was good enough to be a regular on his big boat. This past spring, during a health crisis at age 97, I decided I wasn't waiting till he was gone to immortalized him on my body. I have an outline of our boat with his initials on the sail. Contrary to my my concern that he might be upset he love to have me show it off to people. My mom just passed away 3 weeks ago. She loved purple martins (birds). I wish I had done it so she could see it, but at least I'll know. That is my vacation plan. And yes , they are addictive!

Akin sagging is distorting my ink...arrggh!

These are the birth foot prints of my two boys.

I have many tattoos..they're drooping. :(

I have a shooting star on my foot, moon and stars on my back, heart, skull, and stars on my upper back, sunset and doves with the name "Lisa" in my arm (for my sister who passed away in 2010), and "sisters" tattood on my wrist. Can't wait to get my next one.

I have 2 one large one that is a heart with a rebel flag on it, with a vine and flowers wrapping around it. Each flower has one of my kids names under it. My dad shot that one. And I have a tribal with a blue butterfly in it!! Yep they're addictive! I'm waiting to have 2 more shot by my dad! :)

Pic is sideways but this is on my left shoulder. Each heart is my familys fav color. Mine yellow hubby orange and the others are my kids I want to get a hummingbird small somewhere but idk where yet.

I only have six right now after I reach my goal weight my reward is my next two. At 18 I got one on my lower back a cross with wings for my gramps that passed, 19 I got my daughter name with a small angel 20 I got the comedy tragedy masks as an angel n devil for my personality, got preg at 21 with twins so no tatts then 22 I got thier names under a cloud with two cherubs, then I waited and got two more when I was 24 a lily for my mom that says unconditional under it, it the second one the artist didn't have another appt so I asked her to do a bite mark with the words love bites which has a couple of meanings for me :) can't tell you how many people have freaked out about that and thought it was real teeth marks lol.
