I have 9 tattoos. Ranging from small (a bar code on my neck) to large (sleeves of fire) I want to know how prevalent tattoos are in the community. So if you have tattoos or even just thinking about getting one let us know!
I will start: A porn star on my leg, lady liberty on my other leg, wrist bands, flames on forearms, Yin yang dragon on my chest, Pegasus on my shoulder, barcode on my neck and paintball gun on my back and shoulder.

I have 9 and I want more! The ones on my forearms are the most recent. The others are smaller (except for 1) and I don't regret them, but I don't adore them, either. I have one on my shoulder (well, upper arm) and one on my shoulder blade that I would love to get blended into a large dragon piece across the top of my back. I would like its tail to wrap around over the old shoulder tattoo (a butterfly)...not that I have thought about this much or anything!

I have a tiger lily on my chest, a clover on my arm, the words "love saves" across my stomach, a shooting star on my hip, a small bird on my thigh, a bow on my lower back and a small heart on the side of my leg.
I also have an appointment for a sunflower piece to go on my left arm for my best friend

I have many tattoos. Both forearms, some work on my hands. An upper-chest tattoo, and my calves are tattooed. Poppies, ocean waves, tree, flowers, cats, anarchy symbol, beach scene, a voodoo doll. And the words "Om mane padme" in Tibetan. All of my tattoos are very richly colored.
Thanks for this!

I currently have 5 but want many more I have a paw print from each of my 3 cats on my right leg just above my ankle. I have a pictorial representation of Aristophanes' speech from Plato's Symposium on my left leg between by knee and ankle. I have a heart with a key hole on my left wrist. On my right forearm I have it like my skin is torn away and under neath is a combination of the Canadian Flag and Union Jack. Finally I have a band on my left upper arm. It is my least favourite but it was my first and it was what I got for myself when I was going though my divorce so I can't bring myself to put something over it.

I've got 4. Two huge nautical stars, one on each hip that I got in Okinawa. One is blue with Japanese waves (symbol of being station on an island) and the other is red with Japanese cherry blossoms (my birth symbol in JA.) I have my zodiac, the Taurus symbol on my low back that I designed and PROV 4:23 written in script with 2 little feet underneath it (for the poem footprints.) on my right wrist.

I'm heavily debating getting another.

Hi Auja, thanks! Yes it does, When I was hospitalized for a suicide attempt, one of the staff members had us watch the movie, originally a musical, Rent. One of the songs has the lyrics "No day but today" I got it a little over a year after I was discharged, it reminds me that each day is a gift and to live life to the fullest.

I love that movie. That's really, really cool. I love tattoos that have deep meaning. I'm thinking about getting something similar, as a I reminder but I'm not sure yet on the exact quote or words I want to use.
