tattoos :)

[NutMeg]

It's not a recycle symbol dude. Its a version of a mathematical symbol/concept called the moebius strip, this particular version is done by M.C. Escher. He does two versions, the more popular one with ants crawling over it. But seriously, that comment just made my day. That's probably the funniest thing anyone has ever said about it. Here's a picture of just the strip itself.

It symbolizes infinity, or eternity. The tattoo itself is a memorial tattoo for my cousin who died on June 19 2005 at the age of 15. The butterflies symbolize the two of us and a third cousin, because that spring there was just an explosion of painted lady butterflies (the kind in the tattoo), and it was very healing to have thousands of butterflies flying around.

I feel the same way, it's an addiction...I need to post mine, but they are very plain, so don't get your hopes up..

Ugh this thread makes the tattoo itch come back! I have three currently - my grandfather's initials 'LAC' on my left wrist, a rather large August lily on the left side of my lower back, and five stars on the right side of my lower back. I want to add onto the stars, probably add color or something, because they're so plain and boring to me now, and I thought I was SUCH a badass when I got them done lol. Those were my first tattoo. Hmmm, perhaps I'll take pictures tomorrow after work to share with everyone!

Kayteuk - please, post more pictures of your side tattoo!

Coolios... how did the healing go for that??

I initially was going to tat the bottom of my feet.
One foot to say "Fuck" and the other foot to say "You". But I always wear sandels, so my darn feet are always dirty. But instead I was going to tat "Fuck You" in my inner lip. I have my tounge pierced and that healed aight. But how was your healing process? And how was the pain level?

OOh, I'll jump in!

My first I got when I was 16. It is a flame lily - the national flower of Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) where my father grew up:

I finally convinced my husband that I should get another tattoo, which I finally got done this year. It is a space/wormhole scene:

Now I just need to come up with more ideas for more tattoos!!!

This is a tatoo I got about a year and 1/2 ago. I only wanted to get one tattoo so I got my family, heritage, and religion all summed up into one.

The cross is because I'm catholic, the clover because I'm Irish- and "AMD" is my cousin's initials who passed away from Lukemia when she was 16. When I showed my aunt (her mom) the tatoo about a year after I got it she teared up and hugged me... I never thought of showing her or my uncle and when I fianlly did I was so nervous about how their reaction would be.. but my aunt was so happy about it and I was really glad about that.

Amanda hated the color pink- so when the artist asked me if I wanted her initials to be pink I was like "NO!!!!!!!!!" lol. They are a lilac purple instead.

That is so cool! I love how your butterflies turned out! I have a butterfly and it does not even look half that good! The stupid artist couldn't even make the wings even!

 

[NutMeg]

I love my artist, he will do all touchups and future stuff if I end up incorporating it into a full back piece.

ETA: The blue in the butterflies isn't nearly as obvious in real life, it just makes the orange more vivid. The camera picked it up a lot more than it should have.
