Tats

I have two tattoos..
The first one I got when I was 16. My dad took me to get it.

The second one I got was for my 18th birthday. It was spurr of the moment. I had decided to get my nose pierced.. and then I wanted my nipples pierced but I watched someone else do it so I went with a tattoo.

Laura, why not get some Boas IN ink?

Alright ill post too!! these threads are just too much fun!

I got my tattoo a little after my 18th birthday (and managed to hide it till i was 20 and moving out! hah! they saw it the day i was moving stuff, but ended up not actually caring)
Anyway, its on my left shoulder and its of Pegasus.

Ive always been a huge fan of mythology and fantasy, so i doubt ill ever regret it. But i guess, 40 years from now well see right? :P
anyway, heres a pic, sorry its kinda bad!


anyway, Enjoy! :P

Ive wanted another one for a really long time now, but i just cant decide where i want to put it. i have a vague idea of what i want. Actually, several ideas so im sure there will be more on the way....

One idea ive got right now is this : http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...etchScales.jpg

My character Meirou, though in this pic she has scales. i got bored, but i kind like this version of her and might do something more with it. well see. its all just ideas at this point!

I have thought long and hard about this, just dont know who would be the best artist to make it happen? want to get a couple of boas in ink. anyone know of someone that knows boas and can pull off a master piece? I will travel to make it happen.

Ed, I have always wanted a tat from Bob Tyrrell. If money is not an issue and you're willing to travel I'd highly suggest you take a look at his work. He has an amazing talent.
This is his website http://www.bobtyrrell.com/
Click on galleries and then animals. He specializes in blackwork and does some of the most realistic tattoos you'll find. His portraits are unreal too.
There are a few other artists with that ability of realism, but they are a small group to be sure.

Nice tats guys and gals.
I thought I'd contribute as well.
I just had a lovely (read not lovely) 4 hour sitting to have the outline on my back done. It's a grave yard to immortalize my 2 sisters and grandpa that have passed. As well as representy when I met my wife and how life changed. I was a very different person before that so I wanted a way to kind of "put her name on me" without actually using her name. That's what my tomb represents.
It's just the outline and I have 5 more 4 hour sessions booked everyother weekend. The shading has to be done, and the tree branches will come over my shoulders and wrap around my arms and across my chest to an opeing where you can see an anatomical heart with the branches squeezing it.
I'm also adding a picture of my recently deceased Ambanja Panther cham and a Beardie head, on my right shoulder and bicep.
Everything is greyscale, no color. I got alot of ohhh's and ahh's for getting something so big for a first tattoo. But I have been designing it and waiting for over 5 years to get it. I won't lie, it hurt like hell.

I'll post some more pics as we progress.

I forgot this one. He'll be making the stencil from this.
