Aw! All you ladies have such wonderful tattoos, with such great meaning behind them! Its awesome to see all these girls with tattoos!! I loveeee this art form! I only have 3 right now, but I plan to get many many more. I love the look, the feeling, and the satisfaction you get from seeing your thoughts portrayed on your body by an amazing artist!!

My first tattoo on my left forearm. Got it the day I turned 18 at Musink. Right after I got to see Face to Face and NOFX!! Two of my favorite bands!! It was a pretty epic birthday!! I got the mermaid because I love how its symbolyzes beauty and mystery, also Im big into surfing so Im in the ocean all of the time and that makes me feel like a mermaid haha!!

Second tattoo is an elephant riding a bycycle (the ones with the big front wheel and tiny back wheel...think its called a penny-farver or something). Its on the side of my right calf. I absolutely adore this tattoo! Wish I had a better picture of it, but this is the best I could find! Elephants are my favorite animal, and always have been! I am obsessed with them, I collect anything with elephants. I just love how beautiful and smart they are. It is riding a bike because its funny and reminds me of the circus, which is another thing I love

Just got this a few weeks ago at Ink n Iron! It is on my right thigh and is a shark eating a pineapple. I love it so much! Reminds me of being in the ocean and of living in Hawaii for the few months that i did.

the one on my right spells out me, reminding me after my divorce to think more of myself in the future

one on inside of my right wrist that a gemini symbol

thi is on my foot and reads one step closer

this one represents everyone in my family and their favorite colors...I keep adding new little butterflies when relatives have babies :)

and then I have my half sleeve still working on, a tribal back tramp stamp lol, and a marilyn quote on my right side ribs.

My first tattoo was a celtic cross in the middle of the back. The only picture I have of it on my computer includes a pretty gross scratch from my cat, so I'm not including it. I then got the number 22 tattooed on my right inner thigh by a really shitty artist, but I eventually got it covered up with a better 22. Then I got: a phoenix on my right upper arm, a Pisces design on my left upper arm, an angel swallow on my right hip, a devil swallow on my left hip. All of those were within three years, and then I took a break (ie, I was broke.) I eventually got stars on both of my wrists as matching tattoos with my sister. About four years ago, I had to put my cat to sleep, so I got a tattoo of her inside of a heart - I ended up having a really bad skin reaction to it and it's kind of scarred and crappy looking now, but I still love it. Then three years ago I drew up a design based on a Tom Waits song and got that on my left arm. Then last summer I got part of the cover of an album by the Swingin' Utters, my favorite band, on my inner right arm. I also got the stars on my shoulders, which are the same design as the stars that were on the USA men's hockey jerseys for the 2010 Olympics.

I just got my first tattoo two weeks ago. It's my cat's pawprints (I got them on the one-year anniversary of her death). I'm already planning my next one. I think it's safe to say I'm hooked...

I have a very small and simple tattoo. In 2007, my aunt (my namesake and godmother, and mother's youngest sister) died from Breast Cancer and following in February 2011 my mother lost her battle against the disease as well. I had always admire tattoos but never thought they were for me. I had thought about getting a tattoo for a few years in honor of my mother, even when she was just battling the disease. I wanted something besides a plain pink ribbon and I had the ribbon stylized after a design my friend and I had come up with. I just got it done in February, a year after my mom passed away. The top photo is it completely healed and the two bottom ones are right after I got it done. It's one of my favorite things about me now and now I want more tats :)
