Poll: Do you have a tattoo?
Just curious to see what the composition of folks on the site have some ink or not!
Of course, if you don't have any (like me), you could add to why and, if you do, please feel free to share the motivation. I don't have any b/c I can't stand the thought of something permanent being on my skin. I do admire some of the art I've seen on others, though! Vote and let's see--have more members been inked than not? Just curious :) |
I have 5 ( you can see them here: http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/foru...read.php?t=701)
They all have specific meaning and I designed them all myself: The ram and metal dog are my two zodiacs. (these were my first and I did them because I wanted to at least try once to see if I liked it or not..) Linus, on my neck, kinda self-explanatory. The crest with the sword represents my family crest with motto (translated, literally, means courage towards the summits). The sword's hilt is that of the Acadian Cross. (to honor my family and where I am from) The flag with the shield represent my nationality (Canadian) and heritage (Acadian) The Michelle, Ma Belle is a tribute to my mom. The white ribbon, with her year of birth and death, is a rememberence of violence against women (since my mom was a victim of this). The song is written by her favourite band/artist. The frog is a symbol of her french-ness and her collection of frogs while the quill highlights her creative side as well as her translation ability (she was a translator and ran her own successful business as such). This was done to remember my mom in a positive manner. It was freeing and the most painful tattoo I ever got (nearly passed out). Oddly enough, it reminded me of the relationship I had with my mom: meaningful but oh so frustrating. And a tribute to the person she was. |

Nope.
It's against my religious beliefs. |

I read this and thought of my dad and how red his face turned when he noticed part of a tattoo sticking out from top of my tee shirt when I was just 21. The first thing he said was, I'll never be able to be buried in a Jewish cemetery. Stubborn me said good because I was going to be cremated.....yes, strike two with my dad. I now own 3 very old tattoos from my rebel days of defying dad. |

I have three. My first is a rose tattooed over my heart; as it was my great grandmother's favorite flower. My second is my boxer Chelsea's paw print with her name under it on my left thigh....getting ready to do my right thigh with Miranda's paw print; my boxer I lost last April. My third is a tattoo that says "Butch", on my right hip, just above the wasteline of my boxers. :winky:

I have many Jewish friends who have tattoos. I have several myself.
We are not prohibited from being buried in the Jewish cemetary. The Torah states that it is prohibited and I think being a Jew with tattoos depends on your beliefs, i.e., are you Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, Reconstructionist? My Turkish Jew grandmother totally did not approve of my cousin and his tattoos (she may have spoken sternly at him in some Ladino expletives :)) He is older than I and she never knew I had any...she has died...however she did not disown him or love him any less :D |
Yeap I have em:playingcat:

Inked up !
Yep, I have tats. Love them! Mine are symbolic and represent an era , an event or are representations of my character and my interests.
I'll post my two faves in the gallery. Love tats and am always thinking about adding. I've waited for years before committing to them. Not because I'm hesitant about the permanence of them, but because I tend to work either the design or the placement of the art I've chosen until I'm satisfied with the final decision (placement and art). I cant say enough about consultations with the artist prior to sitting for your piece. Placement, size, color (or not) and an artists ability (is it suited for the piece you want?) all dictate a certain amount of time before the actual event ! |
Not me. Thought about it 30 years ago and didn't. Glad I didn't.

Thanks for partaking, people!
Seems like we have a majority of inked BFP'ers! :) |
I have 4. 3 of which are small, homemade tatts I gave myself in h.s. The only professional tattoo I have is around my right ankle. A vine with 4 lavendar roses. I got it in college after writing an article about our local tattoo shops for the student newspaper.

1
and because of that one I have been thinking long and hard as to what will be next. There will be more for sure. |
I have one tattoo that is very small and a bit too girly (even for me) and it was chosen from random art. It really doesn't hold much meaning for me either. For this reason, I'm in the midst of trying to decide if I'd like another. If so, it will most definitely be something that reflects who I am and what my soul is about. Oh yes, it will also be inked by an amazing femme artist that I know.
