Getting my fourth tattoo this Friday.
I can't wait to see what my tattoo artist did with my ideas.
I have the whole day booked with him because I don't like to heal
the same tattoo more than once. I would rather sit all day than have to go
back a second time. My ship took about 6 hours so I am expecting this one
to take about the same amount of time.

I apologize if this thread has been posted before...
I have 2 tattoos. I have a wolf on my upper left arm. And a Ram with a banner below it with my daughter's name in it. The ram symbolizes her birth sign which is Aries.
Thanks for this!

I just started my 9th tattoo last Saturday. Unfortunately, I do have to do 2 sittings to finish it. I find getting a tattoo to be therapeutic.

I feel the same way, I also find it very therapeutic.
I think it's the rush of endorphins or something.
I love the whole process. My GF really wants this to
be my last one but I don't know if I can promise her that.

These are my tattoos. I am currently saving money to get something in memory of my mom who passed away recently.

How many tattoos?

This question may have already been posed.... I'm just wondering what kind of state of mood you all were in when you got your tattoos. Were you manic perhaps? This one on my back I was most definitely manic when I made the decision. I have a large chest piece too but it was obtained in a more reactionary angry mood.
Thanks for this!

Wow. That is a huge dragon fly!

I would like for my next tattoo to be something similar to this:

My fourth Tattoo done on Friday.
The Barnegat lighthouse near home.
Still red and sore in the pics but you get the idea.
Gotta go back one more time just to go over the red
once more but no big deal.

I love it, Fishin' Fool. Wonderful design.
Your tattoos are all beautiful and well-done. I'm going to your artist next time. :P

I hear getting them removed is very painful.
How was your experience with it ?

I just talked with my artist today about my third, which I'm hoping to get done this summer. I emailed him some inspo pics when I got home and he said that he'll have a preliminary sketch for me within a couple of weeks! I love that he only does custom work because then I know that unless someone copies mine exactly, it'll be 100% my own and unique in every way.
Thanks for this!

I have only one tat and it is my late fiancee's name with wings. It is small and on the back of my neck. I got it done the week after he passed 23 years ago.

I have three.
Inside of my left wrist: red heart with baby feet and my miscarriage date under it
Outside of my right wrist: Breathe in a pretty font
Inside of my right ring finger: semicolon

I have several I want. I just have to save the money for them. My husband hates tattoos on women, especially visible ones, but he seems to have gotten used to mine.

I have about 15 now I believe ones a half sleeve that goes onto my back so that is counted as one. Tattoos are great memories. Even if I outgrow or ever dislike one I have gotten years ago I will never regret it because I can always remember back to that time, remember getting it and why. They are my personal photo album to my past.
Thanks for this!

My new one is in that itchy, scabby stage but its getting down to the end already.
A lot of it is already healed. Wish I could scratch it.
