I'm actually toying with the idea of just leaving it in black. Black will last longer and stay fresher - color tends to fade.

Black is also cheaper than colour.

I like the design, but definitely prefer the first one with less space.

I think I prefer the first as well.

I've got two tats, both to do with my tribe. One on the underside of my left arm and the other on my right shoulder. I'm planning on a third for the end of the school year, probably right arm this time. I design my own. Getting something that a dozen other people already picked out of a book just doesn't appeal to me for some reason.

Tats

I've got 13 tattoos. not sure i want any more, but don't regret any that i have except one funky cover-up. having forearm tats back in the 80's before it was so common added to my dangerously circus vibe.....

OK at last ive decided on my Tat that im getting in the states....

Attachment 63075

im modifying it slightly so that his tattoo will be the trans symbol or maybe swapping the goggles for a cap and modifying the bulldog to be an english bulldog not french...(the ears are different lol)

Tattoo.. I've wanted one at times, then decided against it. So, if you catch me in a mood that I do want it, I've actually designed one myself that I'd get on my shoulder. It's a black rose and I've still not decided if I want the stem or not.

My reasoning behind it is because that's where my master has marked me and that's his symbol ^.~ :hugs:

anything else, no idea yet. Mostly trying to figure out if I really want that one or not, though I'll probably end up getting it... with a friend who wont laugh at me for cringing at the needles.. -_-

Hmmm, I never wanted a tat, until I saw the snarling black panther on Karen's back(uh, she was a little "inspired" one day). I loved the look of it, and since I always identified with a black panther(all my life), I thought it would be awesome to have one, too!! So, a couple of years ago, Karen held my hand, and I bit on a bullet!! Here's the result. Karen is on the left, and she added color to mine, it's on the right. The artist was telling me how she made mine more "fem", which I laughed to myself about!! That was like the farthest thing from my mind!!
Now, we always have each other's back!!
Attachment 63081

This is what the artwork looks like, but in the reverse position, or as close to it as I could find.Attachment 63082

Kieron, I really like your bulldog on a Bike, looks good!!:thumbsup:

Yes, it did hurt, a lot at first, but I went to my "happy" place in my mind!!

Thanks i found it this morning and it just jumped out at me as being 'the one' with a few personal modifications

I have 3 tattoos. All 3 I designed myself. I suggest you get a good artist to design your tats or design them yourself as they will be personal to just you. If you pick something off the tatto shop wall tons of other people have the same one and then its not original. If you are ok with something that is not original then by all means go ahead and get it! Personally I would rather have my own though :D I will be able to dig out some pics eventually of mine :D

Cool! You may want to wait a couple days on the picture until it heals though.

It hasn't started scabbing yet, so I'm hoping if I take shots tonight, they'll look nice.

Got my tattoo!

I don't think I'm allowed to post this in the main forum (I have to take my shirt off for the tattoo to be visible), so I'm putting it here.

Here's the tattoo:

I'm very happy with it.

It hardly hurt at all, really - as soon as he lifted the needle, the pain stopped. The artist said I did well afterward - he hadn't even realised it was my first one. :D (I'll tell you, though, the needle makes a godawful buzzing noise.)

Hey, moderator peoples, if this is acceptable, you can merge it with the tattoo thread out in the main Transmasculine forum.

Ooh-hoo.
This looks really cool... http://neatorama.cachefly.net/images...ark-tattoo.jpg

It's UV reactive so you can't see it except under blacklight. You could be completely covered in tattoos, and nobody would ever know. Invisible tattoo! Mwahaha! Plus, it's bones. *cackle*

If I did do it, though, I might get it in black with UV highlights so you can see it in the light and under blacklight.
I wonder how much one of those would cost, compared to regular black ink...

You know, when you get it done you will have to install a UV light in your bedroom so you can take pics of it for us lol

lol but of course! And anyway, I couldn't stand not being able to see it myself. :D

Although I do love the idea, I really don't like the idea of having a tattoo someone else has... Maybe I could do the muscles instead or something...

I was also considering doing a tattoo on my chest after surgery to cover the scars, but... I dunno. I tend to like smaller tattoos. I don't really want to cover a large area of my body. *shrug*

I'm not. The black stuff comes off whenever I rub the skin cream on it.

I can tell it's healing though - the lower part of the tattoo isn't raised any more.

Or scratch it! Trust me you will want to eventually don't it will mess up the tat if you scratch too much!

It hurts me. :( I'm almost looking forward to the itching - at least it'll stop hurting! (then again, once it starts itching I'll probably want pain back)

I want it to heal so I can bind again - the sports bras are just not the same.

I adore tattoos, and have several planned out. The one I want most is a barcode on the back of my neck, followed by an Egyptian solar disk across my shoulders, with an ankh in the circle. ^^ And right under it, I want the word "serpent" written in Arabic... under THAT I want the Japanese kanji for dragon and snake... Under those I want a phoenix, and across my lower back, I want a spider.

All plain black ink. I don't like colored tattoos. :D

Which barcode? Will you just make up one or copy one from a kleenex box or something or just use a general barcode pattern and not stick to the actual algorithm or...? Sorry for asking such pesky questions, barcodes just fascinate me.

[SIZE="1"]And didn't they have that in a TV show once? I think it was called Dark Angel and people in it had barcodes on the backs of their necks...[/SIZE]

Actually, I'm planning to use the algorithm... I'm going to translate a phrase into numbers via numerology. Then I'll input the numbers into a bar code maker and print it out. :D

And yes, Dark Angel had people with bar codes. ^^
