REPOSTING FOR THE NEW PAGE SO YOU CAN ALL BASK IN THE GLORY.



"Bask in the glory" was unintentional, too. Win.

ok, whoever did it messed up his mouth... it looks like he has braces.

I'm still speechless.

Take note, this doesn't happen often.

CJR, your tattoo is verrry nice. And I love the cross and roses you want to add. Very cool.

In the fall of 2005, I lost my very best friend in a car accident. Since then, I've had the desire to get a tattoo in her likeness of an angel. She was enamored with cherubs, and she is one of those people that mean the world to me. It's been that long, October 2005, that I've wanted the tattoo. I still want to get it done, but now I'm debating on how soon to get it done, where to get it done (on my body - I'm thinking somewhere on my body) and what parlor to go to.

But in general, tattoos are a very iffy thing.

Were it not for the Rent references, I would have thought it was a portrait of George Michael circa Faith.

Thanks shira's chef! :)

Definitely go through with the tattoo. I have a great guy here if you and Shira want to take a trip out.

Placement really is everything. Me, Im running out of coverable space without looking completely trashy when Im not covered in clothes! For the longest time, I wanted one between my shoulder blades and another at the nape of my neck. I had them both picked out too.... unfortunately, I'm pre law and neither of them would be a bright idea, lest I decide to wear my hair up to court.

Good thing I never got that eyebrow piercing years back!

As I was reading this thread, there was an ad for "Tattoo Lovers" on the right side of BWW. How ironic.

There's a woman who rides my bus every morning and she has a tattoo of birds (just simple, small, black birds) flying from the middle of her back up to her shoulder. It is a beautiful and simple tattoo. I'd get that or a bird on each hip.

I'm not even into birds, but I think they make for very cool looking tattoos.

The Rent logo just there to the left of Adam actually looks good. She should have quit while she was ahead.

Thanks, CJR. I'm just in NYC for the summer, but depending on how the job search goes, I may end up back here after December - I have one more semester left in school down in NC. So that's another reason why I'm waiting - I don't know if I want to try to get it done somewhere in Raleigh, where school is, or wait until I graduate and get a job and move to wherever (because there's no way in hell I'm staying in North Carolina).

I'm debating on location too because I don't know how visible I want the tattoo to be. And of all places, my upper back (like between my shoulders) could possibly have the most visibility dependent on the tops I wear. I love that location, but ya know, just thinking about it long and hard before I even approach an artist.

That's a good way to do it, shira's chef. Definitely completely think it through.

Because law was always the ultimate goal (not that I don't love PR) I had to have my tattoos in a place where I could show them off if I want to and cover them up if I need to. I sat long and hard on all my tattoos before getting them though.

[shira's chef]

Posted: 6/11/08 at 10:48am

Yeah. This is definitely one that I KNOW I want, I just want to find the best artist to get it done (and design it) and figure out exactly where I want it. But, my back is definitely top choice, because it's my most likable part of my body, in comparison to my stomach, legs, etc.

[CJR]

My other one is on my right hip. Although I still love it and always will, I loved it a lot more when I got it. I was a whole lot skinnier then and in MUCH better shape! lol

[shira's chef]

Posted: 6/11/08 at 11:35am

Yup, that's exactly what I've been thinking about! :)
BTW, good luck with your future in law. It's definitely not what I could do, but a very respectable field (depending on your character and all that ).

CJR that's how I felt about my tattos as well. They are both very small and you can only see them when I am in a bathing suit.

My brother just got a tattoo of a baseball on his back. It does have our mother's initials on it and her DOB and DOD, which I'm sure he thought was just swell, but I find it a little morbid. And I'm sure she would have just loved to be immortalized as a frikin' tattoo...

[CJR]

Posted: 7/10/08 at 8:01pm

Well the one on my back is pretty sizable, but you can still only see it if I stretch or my shirt rides up in the back.

CATS, did your mom like baseball? Or was your brother fond of baseball and then just added your mom's initials?

I mentioned it a few pages back, but the angel wings with the g clef I have on my lower back connects to my Godmother. She's married to my uncle and while I've known her since I was a baby, she wasn't a big part of my life until I was 13. She saved me -- literally and figuratively -- over and over again. She still does from time to time. I've always said she was my guardian angel. Though she's still very much alive and well, it's a constant reminder and comfort that she's always with me.

I don't think memorial tattoos are tacky.... as long as you don't get someone's portrait tattooed on you. That I find more than a little disconcerting.

My brother likes baseball. That's part of why I don't get it. It's like the memorial thing was just an afterthought.

[CJR]

Posted: 7/10/08 at 8:12pm

Okay. Bearing that in mind I would say it's more strange than morbid LOL

That would be like my godmother dying (god forbid) and me getting a hockey tattoo with her initials.

Just a quick question for those who have gotten tattoos: what does it feel like when your getting them? I've had a few friends say that it hurts like hell while others have said it didn't hurt that much. What do you guys think?

[CATSNYrevival]

Posted: 7/10/08 at 8:48pm

I would assume it depends on what part of your body you get it on and how sensitive you are to pain.

[CJR]

Posted: 7/10/08 at 8:58pm

It really depends where on your body you're being tattooed and how high or low your pain threshold is. Personally, I loved the pain of being tattooed

Posted: 7/10/08 at 9:13pm

That makes sense CATSNYrevival and CJR. When I'm old enough I was looking for a tattoo on my ankle or the small of my back. I've heard the ankle can be rather painful though.
