I wanna be inspired by some myLot people here... I wanna see pictures of tattoos n hear reasons behind them. I want my second Tat, but I'm not rly sure what I want to get yet, so Im just looking for some inspiration. I wont bite(copy), trust. : )
Im thinking about getting a pinup girl(w/ some vices maybe) with one of the big cats (lion, tiger, panther) kind of protecting her almost. I dont know how to explain it, wish i could show you a pic of the sketch I have.
Im just not sure which big cat to use, they all represent similar, but kind of different things....
Tiger- beauty, power, strength, independance, known to be cruel
Lion- royal authority, power, strength, protection, loyalty, fairness
Panther- the biggest out of all the cats, power, strength, represents night time, in ancient times people believed they could shape-shift
Who knows if this will even be my second tattoo. I just wanna see pictures of and hear stories behind or about your tattoos/experiences.

A great place to go and get inspiration is www.bmezine.com
They have a ton of tattoos to get ideas from. Only a certain amount (but a decent amount) is free for non members, otherwise you have to join and pay. But it's a great site with lots of inspiration.
At first I was going to say you shouldn't ask for inspiration from others because they should be original ideas, but I see you basically have some good ideas for yourself.
I have 7 tattoos for various reasons, but no photos on this laptop to upload or anything. But each of them has some sort of inspiration to me. I'm kinda weird about always telling others about them cause I hate stolen ideas. But I'll tell you one that's similar of sorts to yours.
I have a fairy. She's hand drawn and created but she's based on leanan sidhe.

She's a beautiful fairy muse. and that's the side that's shown. But when she gets men to her island, she basically turns dark and kills them. I thought it was fitting for me, not because I kill people, but people love you then they get close to you and things change. That was my inspiration.

I followed the link and read about her, n thats a pretty cool story.. n i do feel ur inspiration for that as well.
I also get what youre saying about not wanting to tell people your ideas because you think theyre gonna steal your ideas. I dont do that though, idk about other people on here, but I think that theres reasons why you stumble across the ideas that you get n you cant just take em from other people.. I just think thats kinda weak.. so no worries.
Just tryin to get a feel for the tattooed community on myLot.
But thanks for the response n I'm gonna check out that first link you mentioned

I love my tattoo I got, I have a Chinese symbol for love with a rose intertwined on my left side. I got it for my 18th birthday. I find that getting a tattoo felt like being scratched by a cat it had that burning feeling to it. bur it wasn't as bad as everyone makes it seem. I even have my second tattoo already planned out. I want to get a tiger crawling up my right shoulder, the tiger will be looking tords my back and it will have wings. So it makes it my angel on my side watching my back. I also want to get 4 paw prints going down my right side one for each of my cats.
