Have Tattoos? Getting new ones?

[JDeere]

I have 17 of them. Nothing extravagant like others but mine were done when i was way young. But my most favorite is the one on my upper shoulder neck area.

Its a quote that was used when my nephew passed. Me and 2 of my nieces have it.

I plan to get more whwn i start work again and have money.

I'm still trying to get my first!

I had wanted a tattoo for years and never got one. Finally seven yrs ago I got a squirrel tat framed in a nutshell between my shoulder blades. My bestie from college and I are looking at getting a matching tat. Something musical I'm sure and there will also have to be a pool cue involved.

I currently have 7 tattoos (if you count the one that is covered by another tattoo) and have one more planned.

Only 2 of my tats (my arms) are visible when I am wearing business clothing, and only then with short sleeves. I tend to cover my ink fully when meeting with clients even though I work in the tech industry and have found it to be pretty liberal.

My last tattoo will also be a cover up of an existing one but I am still working out the design and will find the perfect artist. It will be my final and most significant tattoo so I want it to be PERFECT.

5 to be exact!

Teal dolphin in a rainbow splash

Teal Cross in Memory of my sibling

Pink Cancer ribbon for my late partner

Eagle head silhouette...with American flag colors on head & pin feathers (in honor of 9/11

Leopard head ripping out of my bicep with my heart in her mouth

ALL are my own designs & done by same artist.....the colors are so vivid still....he uses premium inks

I am now on a blood thinner so I will probably NOT be able to get any more sadly....

All of your tats mentioned up to now sound divine. I would love to see pics in the gallery...

I have 6 fairly large tatts technically, but the back piece is entirely up my spine, so...let's just say I have A LOT! They are all on my torso so they don't show unless the clothing reveals them I love them all, and they are done by the same incredible woman artist in Portland, OR. I will have her add a few more and I may even venture out to an arm or a thigh next.

First of all, I need to decide if I am going to do a coverup of one of my tatts because that was for an ex. Funny how after all those tatts, that ONE tattoo was the most painful...figures! LOL. She was supposed to get a matching tatt but of course that never happened. I might just have to leave it because it's pretty big and on my hip so we shall see what my amazing artist says.

It was also the only tatt that she ever had a problem inking on me...hmm there's a lesson there and lesson learned!

Kitsune Fox (back of neck)
Phoenix (large on ribs)
Kingfishers (2 on ribs and hip)
Celtic Tramp Stamp (huge-covers entire lower back)
Wild Irish Rose Vine (entire spine)

Love these threads.

My first was the woman's power sign on my lower right side of my back.

Lilith, "the other first woman" is on my left shoulder.

Then piece by piece over a year, a tribal twist from between my shoulder blades down my back and winding around my right hip, slightly down right leg, also wrapping around the original women's power sign.

A weeping willow goddess tree on my stomach.

Triple goddess moon symbol with Celtic knot woven into it between my shoulder blades/very lower neck area.

A woman dancing and jumping up to grab the moon on my upper left arm.

A phoenix across my chest, side to side, Japanese style, in very soft watercolors of grays and blues.

My next tattoo will be a big state of Oklahoma on my back, with a star for the city I was born in.

Then I want another quote tattoo somewhere, but am still trying to pick out the quote.
