How many of us are Inked?

**exzel** · January 24th, 2012

After a night of partying with my cousin the tattoo artist, I drunkenly decided to get a tat, and so we headed back to his parlor in the wee hours of the morning. Always being a fan of SK’s “IT,” I wanted some artwork to represent the work. My three-sheets-to-the-wind smartass cousin, being a fan of the Adams Family, thought he would take some liberties and have some fun at my expense. This is what I ended up getting. Never again will I get another tattoo!

That's funny, because the one I have on my back (right under my neck) didn't hurt at all, but the one I have also on my back, but a little below the waist hurt like heck... And that makes me think that the more flesh, bigger the pain is... but none hurt like the one on my ribs... I have the sentence "first comes smiles, then lies. Last is gunfire", and I had spasms in my leg because of the pain, while I was getting tattoed. Which made one of the letters blurry, but I will NOT re-touch it, NO WAY

I, too, am inked! I have two, a large one on my upper back and one on the side of my wrist. Both are in my photo albums. Next will be an addition to the back piece and I have a DT one in the works, but I'm not saying a thing about it til it happens...I want to keep my original idea under wraps

Argh, okay, I'll try to describe it. It'll probably end up with you going "whaaat?"

I've got 2 daughters, named Lily and Olivia. Rather than put their names on me, I wanted something more subtle. So in a roughly 6 inch circle, a small scene of a cluster of surprise lilies (which are orange or salmon colored) with olive branches kinda gathered with them, like a bouquet (which are green and purple). I love art deco anything, so the color palette would be in those colors. A few of the petals and fronds from the lilies and a branch or two of the olive tree would go just outside the circle, so it's not so constrained. The flowers are more about shape than detail, and I don't want the olive branches to be overwhelming, just balanced. I think a background of yellow, but I go back and forth between that and blue. Or I'll wait and see what my friend comes up with...

One of my 15 tattoos

Seriously considering getting SSDD done a bit like Tupacs "THUGLIFE"

That sounds like it would be really pretty.

Yeah, I knew someone who had an original design and posted it only to have someone steal it. Go figure.

And may you have twice the number

I have one tattoo. It is a black panther (green eyes) wrapped in circular tribal art (red) on the middle of my upper back. It is about 6-7 inches in diameter. I have to say, that did hurt. Especially right on the spine. My skin doesn't hold ink very well I guess. I have had it touched up two times and it still looks kind of faded. I had ideas for a few more tattoos but I am not sure if i will ever get them. I do like to see other people's artwork though.

Cool thread!
