well I did
I got it tattoed in 2 steps
it´s ancient egypt and only me and somebody who can read ancient egypt will know its meaning
for me this was very importand
to have tattoed something that is very personal
and you
what about your tattoo and it`s meaning?

All my tattoos are my own artwork. I spent a lot of time designing my tattoos and was lucky enough to have them done by an expert tattoo artist.

I designed and hand-drew all of my own tattoos- I have always liked to draw and paint as a hobby.
My most recent one was my chest piece. It's three roses (in a very art-nouveau style) with an intricate strand of pearls running around it. I absolutely love how it turned out.
It's meaning is kind of vague, but relates to my obsession with vanity and society's obsession with surface-beauty.

it´s great to see more people design their tattoos
as I only see in my culture more and mor young people just go to a studio to get just some sort of tattoo
but I think Tattoo is something very special, very private-not just some kind of fashion!

I haven't! Their is no way that I could as I can't draw to save my life!But the tattoos that I do have are a few tattoos in one. I narrow it down to about 3 tattoos and then pick something that I like the best out of all of them and then get the one tattoo with the 3 things that I like best!

I would never design my own tattoo because I cant Draw so it would look very silly if I had a Tattoo of a stick figure.

I designed my own back piece, I drew a koi with waves behind it, similar to the waves in old Japanese wood block prints, such as "The Great Wave". I took almost 2 years to draw it out and get it perfect, the end result was amazing. I had the work done at Mos Eisleys Tattoos in Grand Rapids, MI. It took a total of 9 hours to complete.

I drew mine myself, though I must admit it doesn't have any meaning it is just a pretty outline of a dove. I just wanted something simple- egyptian hieroglyphics is a cool type of tattoo to have. I don't know of anyone with anything like that!
