WHERE is your tattoo? I am wanting to get one no bigger than about 10cm x 10cm, 3 Fairy Wren's on a branch. The places I'm thinking are either somewhere on my upper arm or the area between the back of my neck and my shoulder blades.

one on hip and one on upper butt cheek.
Don't like tatts on women's arms personally but that's just me.
Planning one lower back soon
I have one down the side of my calf, and one the side of my stomach/hip
Hmm i was thinking it better to avoid areas where i tend to gain/lose weight because do they look bad once stretched and then unstretched?
I have one on my shoulder blade and then another one on my forearm that goes from where the elbow is to my wrist (on the inside of the arm). And I am getting another one on the back of my neck with a large (quite large actually) lady bird cause they are dd's favourites and then get her name and date of birth under it. And I am also soon to be getting "No Regrets" tattooed on my wrist in another language, haven't figured out what yet.
I have one on each shoulder blade, one on my inner right ankle, one on my left outer ankle between my achillies tendon and my ankle bone and one on my inner left wrist.
i have one on my tummy near my belly button, mines looking fine after two pregnancies!
I have 3 stars on the top of my right foot and I have 'que sera sera' written across my right wrist.
I have DS' name tattooed on the back of my neck
I have mine on my lower back
yep agree think where ur getting one sounds good tho. My first was on my top of my hand opposite to my wrist at age 12 so yeah :doh: but it looks o.k:
I have a crucifix between my boobies. It's a VERY ouchie place to have it done, right on the sternum bone though.
I don't like tats that are in very visible places. Mine only shows when I wear a very low cut top.
i have an anklet, and am also about to get each DD's name on each wrist.
I have J.M on the inside of my index finger and B.M on my foot.
I have a turtle on my lower back
I have one on my lower back (celtic symbol)- one down my spine(chinese writing), one on my ankle(stars that I designed) and one on my hip)gemini star sign) and I am about to get Bellas name and footprint on top of my foot..
tush, shoulder blade, inside my wrist
Thanks for sharing :)
I am leaning towards having it more on the back of my neck but to the left side. Kind of where a necklace would sit, but the branch would go upwards so the birds would be in a vertical line.
However, my hubby doesn't think it's a good idea. His point is that when or if i want to get a job it may not be appropriate... has anyone had this as an isssue? I can't see it being a problem, mainly because the areas I'm qualified in are the Arts & humanities feilds where i know a visible tattoo wouldn't be an issue. I can't ever see my self going in to a field where it would be a problem, but his point is that how will i know in 10 or 20 years?
So if i don't get it on the back of my neck i would be leaning more towards my torso somewhere, maybe lower side back.
I have two on my belly on opposite side and was planning on getting them fixed up but decided against it as I was worried about stretching during pregnancy but it has not been an issue at all.
I have one on my inner left ankle, one on the under side of my left wrist and a nice piece on my lower back that kind of comes down a bit over the top of my crack (this one is my fav)
I was planning on getting a butterfly done at the nape of my neck with Nikita's name underneath but DH doesn't like that idea. I will eventually have it done but may pop it lower between my shoulder blades or some where a bit more inconspicuous.
FWIW - my mum totally freaked out when I had my wrist done for the same reason your hubby mentioned and TBH it has never been an issue and I have worked in a couple of customer service jobs since having it done.
I guess the thing to consider is that you do not know where a job might take you. I can cover my wrist tattoo with a watch and bracelets but if you happen to get one done on your neck sometimes even clothes cannot cover it.
Nae x
i have i live while im alive and sleep when im dead on my back its in a cathedrial arch runs from my right hip along my neck and down to the left
i have the iron cross lower back tramp stamp was my first tattoo
my next will be filling the center of my back with the portriot(spelling dunno how to spell it ) of my son and my next bub
i like to get my tatts on special events both were done on my birthdays my 18th for my first and 21st for my second
i have one on my left shoulder blade and i am about to get one on my inner wrist
can anyone tell me if the wrist is going to hurt much lol
No, the wrist is okay as far as tattoos go :) The only thing I noticed that was unique to my wrists was that they bled a bit more than other parts of my body. But the pain was about the same as anywhere else, and the healing was quite quick. Good luck!
Ok i have
- back of neck
- right wrist
- top of right foot
- right ankle
- a big one on the top of my back
- chinese symbols down my spine
i think down the spine is good, because no one will see it unless you show them ;)
Matryoshka - i have a ginormous piece on the side of my torso, some bits stretching across the belly, and surprisingly enough, post-partum everything went back to where it was, lol. the tattoo is still looking as when it was first etched in :3
I have one on my thigh("I believe in love surviving death into eternity"), and one on my wrist (Two overlapping envelopes sealed with love hearts)
I seriously regret the envelopes, it's such an ugly design in such a high-visibility spot! The tattoo parlour were having a $50 special on that day. I went in with a few designs of my own and they said it was only from a small selection they had... So stupid me picked a design. I had no idea where I wanted it (since I still wanted my other designs in the spots I'd picked for them!) and managed to get myself talked into getting it on my wrist. Regretted it the second the needles hit my skin.
On the other hand, I loooove my thigh one! I really wish I hadn't just looked for the least painful bit of my body to put it on. I want it huuuuge, dammit! It was my first, so I was terrified of the pain - which turned out to be so bloody managable!
When Smudge is a couple years old, I'm getting his/her name in DH's handwriting somewhere (most likely over my heart), and my brothers' names on my back (because they've always "had my back")
I haven't got any tattoos yet but i have a few in mind already. I want a tigerfly on my left leg just above my ankle. I want my star sign (sagittarius) on the back of my neck and i want some sort of elephant design on my feet or maybe my kids names havent decided yet but i know i want tatts on my feet.
thats exactly what i want..well sort of lol:
defently an anklet with something personal off it and Jed's name on my wrist..oh and 4 lady birds in 4 different colours, one for each of my kids, on my shoulder
which side of your wrist.....top or bottom
Well, didn't I mess up where I was getting my next tattoos? :lol: I'm quite happy that I got Ianto's memorial tatt on my back - it's easy for other people to see, but also easily covered up. Since it's so big and colourful, I can see it easily if I look in a mirror, or even just a reflection in a window. I can even see a little of it if I crane my neck around! Love it!
The only problem I can see is, am I going to get something similar for future kids? Will they feel ripped off that their older brother got such a massive colourful one and they're resigned to small ones in harder-to-see areas? I hope not...
I'm still planning to get my brothers' and parents' names on my back, down my left side now (originally I wanted that on my right) and maybe one day, Scott's name. Maybe on a "big" anniversary, like our 25th or something...
On a side note, I just almost signed off this post like I would a blog *redface* I need sleep...
I added to Ds' name on my back. It now has all my DD's names underneath it surrounded by stars and last week I went and got a swallow tattooed on my ribs on the right hand side :)
i have one on my lower back and i want to get a fairy with her wings to one side on the side of my spine and on the other side get both kids names with the writing going downwards
i obviously have to wait to get it lol
teni - no way will they care coz they will know why u have it and they would be proud u remember their big brother that way :)
i have a butterfly above my right hip got it when i was 18 or so..dont regret it as u cant see it anyway i dont go around with my belly hanging out :)
was thinking of getting a 'H' near it for Hannah
I have my DS name 'Bodie' on my right wrist.
Then when I have my next bubba I want to put their name on my left wrist.
I have one on my ankle, on my lower back, on my right shoulder, and one on my hip.
That's it for me lol, if we have another bub his/her name will go on the same tat that DS is :) I made sure there'd be room!!
All wrist tattoos bleed more than other areas. Mine is less than two years old and it has bled too. I have my kids' initials in a decorative font. Eventually they'll just look like big blobs :lol::
The only thing I noticed that was unique to my wrists was that they bled a bit more than other parts of my body
Matryoshka - did you end up getting yours? It sounds awesome!
Sadly it's true about them looking like big blue blobs eventually. My crucifix between my boobies is about 20 years old now and the fine details are blurring away already :(
I'm actually considering doing a cover up on my wrist of something with a lot less detail and getting a new tattoo with my children's names etc. I have a while to think about it because I'm feeding my boys and DS2 is only 8 months old.
I haven't got one yet - but am planning on it. Where would the best place be to get one for a first time be?
my first one is on my back i did it so i couldnt see the needle but it would depend wat u would want it to be
