What is your tattoo?

Hey, nice question. And your tattoo sounds lovely. May I ask where abouts it is on your body? I have a small rat on my ankle, my pet rat. I had wanted to get a tattoo for a long time. I think they can be very pretty... and I like pretty things :) I was intending to get a small dragon on my palm (ouch, I know!). However, when I got up that morning I stood looking out of my bedroom window and saw my little pet cemetery. My little Irish Black was a loving friend through my teen years (14-18... yeah, he lived for a very long time and was quite the decrepit if playful old fella in his final months). I loved him so much that I bought him a 'grave stone.' All my rats (his descendants) are buried under or near it. Anyway, when I saw the stone I knew I had to get a tattoo to remind me of him. So, I have a little black rat on my ankle. At some point I hope to get his name written in blue Roman font and a figure of eight symbol for eternity under it. Yeah, I know; all that for a rat?! *shrug* he was a friend, a companion; I don't expect most people to understand.

i think tattoos are kool i have a butterfly on my lower back its kool

I dont have any tattoo.It has more disadvatages than advantage.so I dont like to use it in any part of my body. Sometimes tattoos are good because it shows that you support a particular cause, and they can also be a very nice piece of artwork. If your a Christian you could get a tattoo that says 'I love Jesus.' If you like animals you could get a tattoo of your favourite animal.If your a gardener you could get a tattoo of a tree or a plant.You shouldn't ever get a tattoo of someone elses name, in case that person turns out to be a traitor or something. The best place to get a tattoo is on your wrist or arm.It is better not to get one on a joint, such as your elbow, because that can be very painful.Think carefully before getting the tattoo.Make sure you are getting one of something good, which you really support and believe in, and which you always will. Also, make sure you go to a good tattooist, who sterilizes their needles and utensils after every use.This is VERY important, otherwise you could get a disease.go to a tattooist with a good reputation, who you know would never give any one an infection.

I struggled for years with the thought of getting a tattoo vs. not. I used to be one of those people that thought tattoos tend to ruin the natural human body. But when I reached my 30's I really wanted something to symbolize how I was feeling at that particular time in my life. So I was on vacation in Florida (matter of fact- my avatar picture was taken the day after getting my tattoo) and wanted to get my mind off some things- my friends that I was visiting both were tattoo fanatics and we were out drinking a bit when they both said- if you get a tattoo- we'll pay half...LOL. I was like really- and since they new a professional that was on call whenever- we called him up....he asked what I wanted when I got there..I simply explained that I love Tinkerbell from Peter Pan. She is spunky, thick and got much attitude- but I didn't like the fact that she was a little blond (as you can see I am a brunette..lol) So I told him to give my version of tinkerbell a little "spanish" flair- so her hair is curly instead of straight and she is naked....with a pretty nice rack if I do say so myself...she has beautiful wings too! I just love her- and am very happy with mine- and yes as most say- I am contemplating another one. Something smaller and more intimate most likely.

I have 5 tattoos of Kanji symbols on my left abs region. They are set up almost like a cross, with the symbol Ai(Love) in the center. The surrounding symbols are "wife", "younger brother", Family" and "friends". I love my tattoos! They do mean a lot to me because love is an eternal thing and I will always have love for those special people in my life, but I can't say that they were very predetermined...they were done on a kinda whim...a sober whim, but a whim nonetheless
