Yeah mine all mean something,
The one on my wrist is a reminder to me, the one on my neck means "peace hope n love" cause of the dove, heart n the branch (like in the bible) n those 3 things are what I want for my life, and the last one is kinda for my DH an kinda for me, meaning the greatest thing in life is love.... A reminder to me.
The new ones, (charlottes first initial, an then any other kids we have will get theirs underneath so it will run down my wrist but only small, not huge) are non selfish ones.. They are for the kids
I too love it and am addicted. I have a sacred heart on my calf, a heart with a puzzle piece missing (and then a piece that doesn't quite fit laying next to it), and then last week I got my Lucy tattoo... two red balloons with their ribbons spelling Lucy.
Mine mean something, but I'm wanting a jacaranda tree sort of like a cherry blossom for me....
Glamorcide, I've gotten two of my three tatts at Manly tattoo... I know some other great artists in New Farm, but I will be going back to Manly for anymore... I am sort of attached to the place.... you can google them and have a look at some of their artwork for when you are in Sydney if you like? Opps.... I meant Newtown and I typed New Farm...lol

I have five and for me it was the inside wrist that hurt the most.
Top of my foot was my first one and I honestly didnt think it was that bad.
My stamp tramp is the biggest and that hurt too but I htink it was cause it took the longest.
Small one on the back of my neck didnt hurt at all
and the one on the side of my other foot really hurt too. I think it is a toss up actually between that one and the wrist as been the sorest.
I was just saying to DH yesterday that I really like "sleeves" and I think when we are rich he should start adding to his arm one to make it into a sleeve.
I have 4 - they're all pretty small.
on my right foot, i have the kids names with some flower/stars
on my left ankle i have a cursive 'R' (most people assume this is for my first name, it isn't. it's the first initial of my first love, and a reminder that i will never let a man get so far under my skin, as he did)
on my left hip i have a dragon fly
on my right hand lower back i have this weird shape that i drew during a business lecture at uni and loved...
i really want to get a pin up girl on my arm, but i don't think i have the 'look' to pull it off...
I am trying to figure out the positioning of two that I want to get on my wrists (inside). I want to get a crown on each wrist (my kids' names mean "king" and "crown"/"princess"), and thought of getting them so the bottom of the crowns were closest to my wrist, with the top of the crowns towards my elbows. But I had a thought the other day, should I get them along my inner wrists? Ie, so that the sides of the crowns are at my wrist/elbow? Oh, and in black and white.
I have none yet, I am too indecisive. But I do want the crowns. Am also thinking of getting one done of a pendant I have, its rather a devil and angel embrace, but not sure where to put it. And have also thought of getting one for my near death experience last week. But I just don't know what that should be!
commonly (what the tattooist might assume to be the 'right' way) tattoos are done to face away from you, so in that case the crowns base would be at your hands. so others can 'read' them. I guess it depends if you want them facing you or away from you, that would be something you would need to decide eg would it affect the meaning etc..
I have 3 tats. I have big plans for my back but circumstances keep changing it. Origanally I only ever wanted 2 kids so I wanted to get a horse shoe with my girls names inside it and have their birth flowers on either side of it. After having DD2 I have decided that my baby having days are not over and I also am not very keen on the November birth flower. So I am back to the drawing board. I think I will still get the horse shoe with the girls names though, I can always add to it when inspiration hits me, or another pregnancy does.
And to add, out of my 3, inside of my ankle hurt the most, mainly when it got close to my ankle bone. In saying that I found it more annoying then painful. How good does it feel when they stop and spray though.
Im not a moisturising kinda person but I want to keep my tattoos looking nice so can anyone recommend a good everyday moisturiser? I read somewhere once there were certain things you should avoid as its not good for the colours but I cant remember what it was. Ive just been using the bethpanthin when they get a bit dry but Im off the smell.
Im noticing the one on my foot gets dry fast but jeez its looking nice now its all healed
