How many AO'ers have tattoos?

[dre1919]

For my generation (I'm 26), it's almost like if you don't have one you're in the minority! This is of course directed to those on AO old enough to have gotten some "ink". If you don't have one, they are fun and somewhat addictive.

How many do you have? What is it of?

Me: 1, a red oriental dragon on the top of my right arm. It's got great detail and color, and is pretty decent size. I keep thinking up things to add to it.

I'm still waiting till I find the perfect picture of what I want. Once I find it I'll know and then I'll get one.

i have 5 tattoos - stylized religious symbol across the back of my left calve, one to remind me of my childhood, the mandarin symbols for spirt and knowledge across my shins and 'lenore' on my right calve. i also have a scarification piece on my back that took just shy of 6 hours.

the little lady has quite a few, mercury wings on her ankles, 2 connected pieces of egyption work (scarab, ankh, chen ring) on her neck, the tim burton character of mummy boy on her shoulder, a fairy/goblin on her shoulder, a squished fairy on her bum (looks like she sat on it ) and a "sacred hot wheels" on her calve (think religious sacred heart chest piece, but with more dragflames, cams and checkered flags)

a group of friends and i go get work done every year on may 12th, which has been dubbed 'body mod day'

I have just one. It's my fraternity letters on my right shoulder. Yeah I know it's cliche' but hey we all gotta have something.

Syn where do you get your ink work done at? I'm looking for a good artist. I've heard some not so good things about a few of the artists at the "chain parlors". What I want to have done is very detailed so I'm going to be very finiky about the work. Thanks for the info,

Stu

I've considered it, after I am old enough ofcoarse. Mainly I just wanna get a simple Black cross on the inside of my upperarm to remind me not to do anything stupid

I have a Celtic knotwork armband on my left arm, on my bicep (usual spot for one methinks)

I also have a barcode at the base of my neck. Just low enough to cover with a shirt. I wanted it right in the middle, but i figure if i was ever looking for a job or didn't like it anymore it'd be hard to hide.

I'm wanting another one, but my funds are tied up in other things (new car, paintball, new apt, etc) but i'm looking to get a backpiece, something from H.R. Giger. I love that guys art. I plan to cover my entire back (or most of it) so it's gonna cost a ton.

They are addictive. My old lady has 2 as well and we're both dying for more. I have other plans for ink but my back's coming first.

I also got my nips pierced, just thought that'd tie in with the body modding.

I got a tattoo in Ft. Lauderdale on spring break this summer. I've been planning it for a while. Here's a pic for your enjoyment.


Its meaning? The symbol means triple protector, and it has my sister's initials in it.

i don't have any but my twin brother does. first he got a celtic cross on his right upper arm, and then like a year later he got his friend to make that into a sleeve, with the devil ina suit of armor fighting against an angel with little demons running around and another cletic design on the bottom of his forearm. he would have more but his friend moved away to maine, not bad stuff though, fairly detailed and all it cost him was a bike he got for 150 bucks thats worth a 1000(cannondale R1000) that he got from the shop he used to work at before they closed.

[synreal]

StuDawggie-
the woman and i both get our work done at "electric superstition" and send everyone we know there. our artist, jeff, is phenomenal. they are located on woodward and 11 1/2 mile.

another great shop is "XS" (ask for matt) in rochester. email me at [email protected] if you want their phone numbers and such

[bsusigep18]

Mag- Just so happens your girlfriend is in good company. Myself and my best friend have the same birthday as well. Weird. :-D

[wingman898]
