Poll: Do you have a tattoo?

Just_G · 02-17-2010, 01:41 PM

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.

Boots13 · 02-17-2010, 02:05 PM

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!

cara · 02-17-2010, 08:39 PM

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.

Enchantress · 02-17-2010, 08:49 PM

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.

Sam · 06-26-2010, 11:41 PM

i have 7, adding another in florida next week.

and soon i will be adding a sleeve lower on left arm

Gemme · 02-17-2010, 08:55 PM

I've got 3 obvious ones. Multiple work done on two of them. I'm colorful!

TexasCowboi · 02-18-2010, 03:55 AM

yep..... I have 'em..... lots of 'em

UofMfan · 02-18-2010, 05:49 AM

No, thanks.

As far as on others, I can admire from afar, but I find that I usually dislike them on those close to me.

More people in the GLBT community tattooed than in straight circles

....
....The highest incidence of tattoos was found among the gay, lesbian and bisexual population. Surprisingly 25% of the GLBT community were inked compared to 14% of the straight population.

This doesn't surprise me and I've noticed it myself. I think, for many in our community, they have had to hide who are they are...who they love...for so long that the need to show the people in their world or even THE world who and what they are....whatever that may be...just bursts out from inside them in the form of ink. The need to be seen....be heard...is too much to hold inside.

Just my pennies for this thought.
