If you were going to get a tattoo what would you have
« on: January 16, 2012, 10:32:42 PM »
I keep toying with the idea of getting a tattoo- this will be my first! :)

I want something that says I am strong, and that I believe in happiness, and hope, and an incredible future- without this illness.
I want it to be about love, and dreams and wishes.
What do you think?
I only want a small one. On or near my wrist.
I like dandelions, but I don't really want a tattoo of a weed!
Any ideas?

Thanks xx

I have a butterfly and my chinese birth year, both small and both out of sight unless I'm very scantily clad - one thing I would say is that some employers tend to frown on them if visible when normal working clothes so give that a little thought too and do find a tattooist that someone recommends personally if you can xx

There are lots of designs you can find on the web, thats where I found my butterfly, I did consider a ying/yang at one time but liked the butterfly better :)

The dandilion wouldn't be good IMO. As you say... its a weed.

Anything flower or bird related seems to work well.

I've got 4 tattoos, soon be 6 and a full sleeve.  My last one was 'born to lose, live to win' around an ace of spades skull.  My next 2 are going to be Latin quotes which translate to 'to conquer or to die' and 'while there is life, there is hope' ... they are going down my ribs... fun!

I also have 3 tatoo's I have a red rose in a black heart on my shoulder, a chinese symbol on my ankle which means 'to give love' and rose bud with its stem and leaves just above my upper hand.

I agree with Zaf look on the internet or go through the books in a good tatoo studio, the one on my above my hand was from the books in the studio and was personalised slightly for me.

I have a butterfly on my upper thigh and my birth sign on my bikini line :)

I'd suggest you put it somewhere easy to cover in the summer in case a protential employer doesnt like them; we have a lad working for us that has large skulls all down his arms and he has to make sure he wears long sleeves if he is going to a prospective customer or to look at jobs to do a quote

Just got my latest ones at the weekend...
Got told by many people they would kill... and having one side done after the other would be daft because I have to lay on a fresh one.
The only thing I have to say is... the outlining near the armpit was a killer, but other than that... I was falling asleep  :D

A few years ago I almost got a tattoo of a black mamba on my back but I bottled out in the end. I still kind of really want it though. Probably something based on the picture below.

I would get a picture of Mohammed, peace be upon him, tatooed on my forehead, and I would go to live in Bradford with a pair of boxing gloves.
