Tattoos ; opinions

[Cai]

Oh okay, that's it? I was looking for more drastic changes.

Now I wanna see it in color.

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

[Tobie]

Black is also cheaper than colour.

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

[privateperks]

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.

me either thats why ive not decided on a design yet

[Trapezoid]

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)

I like it, especially with the modifications you described.

And I really like the banner on the bike.

Can I go with you when you get it done?

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 ^.~

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!!

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

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

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

Wow i really like that panther and i think its really cool you have matching tattoo's

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

[metalguy639]

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 I will be able to dig out some pics eventually of mine

Actually just got my first tattoo last night, as birthday present from you wife/SO....we have a BDSM lifestyle, and this tat represents this...here is a link for anyone who wants to see it:

I got it! I used the smaller design. Pictures later - I don't have any yet. It came out really well though.

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.

[Cai]

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:


and for placement purposes, here's me with it:

[Kieron Andrew]

yeah i think you can post that and get away with it, cos you aren't showing body parts, karen and kat posted theirs lol

wow looking cool dude!! i like it...ok i want mine now lol!!, you pleased with it?

[ZenFrost]

It looks great! It came out really well.

[Cai]

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. (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.

[CaptLex]

Whoa! That's one sexy back . . .
