My 1st tattoo + pictures! -
June 28th 2010, 07:59 PM
A couple weeks ago I got my first tattoo! I'm so excited. I absolutely love it: how it turned out, the symbolism I put into it, and the fact that it's my own artwork on my body.
And here's what my design means:
Lilies are my favorite flower, and this one's a bit tattered. It's still pretty and alive, however scarred. That's me. I've survived a bunch of crap, but I'm still here. I'm all the better for it too.
The thorny vine is life. It's not an easy thing to deal with and it will hurt at times. I just noticed that I sort of drew the three vines in a triskel. For those that don't know, a triskel is a celtic symbol for birth, life, and death.
The angel wing is death (naturally). It's for all the past deaths in my life as well as the future deaths I'll have to endure. Grim, yes, but still very important. And you can't have life without death, which is why the vine winds around it, I suppose.
"We'll carry on" is a My Chemical Romance lyric from the song Welcome to the Black Parade (if you didn't know already). More recently, this means to me that I'm able to life my life as normally as anyone and I'm happy for the time I had with my dog. It also means that I can move past everything else.....being suicidal, being severely depressed, even just possibly failing a class.
Even the placement has a symbolic meaning. I want this tattoo on the outside of my left shoulder. For one, that's the side your heart's on. For some reason, all the scars I get from being clumsy is on my left side. The left side is the only side my cat likes being held on (odd I know). It'd be on my shoulder because I'm putting so much of my self into designing this tattoo, so it's like I'm putting my heart on my sleeve. I'm a really emotional person, but I don't know how to express myself unless I'm writing (like now). People can't usually read my expressions and I don't know how to talk about them, so I tend to talk to people in lyrics and quotes. This tattoo, as I said, symbolizes everything that's important to me, so it'd be another way for me to let people know about me. If it's on my shoulder, I know people will see it.

This is my third tattoo and the longest and biggest one of them all. I just got it done on Wednesday and I absolutely adore it. This is probably my favorite one so far although it might have tied with another I have. This all together took 4 and a half hours 4 hours was of tattooing, all done in one sitting and the 30 mins of set up/prep and a mandatory break. It's along my left ribcage/side

I currently have 2 tattoos :-) i don't have pictures yet the first one i got was 'CURRAHEE' 'WE STAND ALONE TOGETHER' the motto of the hundred and first Airborne :-) i chose that one after re watching Band Of Brothers the second one is more of a dedication to the bravery of the Tunnel Rats of Vietnam :-) and their motto 'NON GRATUM ANUS RODENTUM' or 'NOT WORTH A RATS ARSE' :-)
both of these mean something to me.
The third Tattoo i plan on getting soon is Deaths head badge im not sure whether to go with the one worn by the Black Brunswickers or the one worn by the British 17th Lancers.
i will post pics as and when i get them :-)

I feel like I'm hogging the thread
I've had the left side of my lip pierced for nearly 2 years and I got the other side done yesterday. My husband wasn't entirely for it but once he saw it afterwards he loves it now.

I got both my traguses done, but its hard to take a photo of my ears, so once I got one successful photo, I figured that was good enough to show it.
Its the silver ball closest to my head. The dangly bit underneath is the earring the piercer used. I just got this done the other day as a belated birthday present from my friend.

Morgan - your tattoo is fantastic. The colors are amazing. That's some really nice work.
I have a ton of piercings and tattoos, this is a just a few of them. Piercings include snakebites, nose, septum (I have it turned up, so it's not visible here), plugs, industrial, and both nipples. And you can barely see the diamond tattoo on my chest, but I have tattoos pretty much covering my arms and back.

Thank you I love the diamond on your chest btw! I keep bouncing back and forth between ideas for my chest piece but I'm getting a tattoo on my leg finished tomorrow. It's a peg leg pirate bird with about 6 hours into it so far. I have one of my arms planned out (the one above) and the other I'm not 100% sure on yet.

I dunno why I'm posting so many pictures tonight. Anyways, Here is my industrial and my tattoo (I designed it myself, it's one of three I'm getting of these little fairies) I have many tattoo plans and hopefully within the next couple of years I'll be able to get them all done. I used to work at a tattoo shop, I miss it when I look at tattoos.
I used to have a TON of piercings, lip rings, brow rings, etc. Now all I have is my ears and my industrial.
I think I want to gadge my ears, though. I love those spiral earings. So awesome.

I have one tattoo and I just got it recently. It's not done yet, the total design will take up most of my back, but this is just what I started with. Primarily because it's the part I wanted most, but mostly because I'm doing it in $50 increments so it's more affordable over time.

My Camera is not working with my computer but this is what mine basically looks like only with color. Now the computer is not working.
Clicky Here to see it!
Mine has the heart fading from yellow to orange and the wings have green to blue tips. Just over 3 months old now. Got it for my B-Day, February 4th. It also has "Best" in cursive on top. My friend since we were born has "Friends" but she has a music note.
The tattoos symbolize that we both have different paths in life and different interests but our friendship will always remain the same and we will always be friends no matter where life will take us.

Snug piercing. The bottom hole hurt miserably and felt like it took forever, but the top one is the one that hurts most now.
Conch piercing. My most anticipated, and probably most painful at the time, but now it's quite tame.
I don't really like how the conch sits now, but that's only because it's not fitted yet since they give you huge jewelry while you're healing.
