Shock from me too, Robyn! I knew you were getting a 2nd one but had no idea what it was! It's gorgeous! The flowers are a lovely idea! I love lillies of the valley-my month's flower-just like Jeremy!!! I'm thinking of faces of Cody and Logan on my ankle. Big question...despite rabies shots, surgeries etc..I hate needles...does it hurt???

Thanks everyone! Taz_Zoee, your tattoo is very nice, I love it.

Karen, yes, it does hurt...I remember thinking, this will be my last, it hurt so much, but the back is sensitive area...ankles hurt too though

But really, after it's done, IMO, it is so worth it! If you get one, let us know!!

BTW,Karen, hubby HATES/DREADS/TERRIFIED of needles, and he dealt fine with it...it kinda feels like someone is scratching you over and over AND OVER in the same place with a pointy needle, as opposed to feeling like your being stabbed by a needle...it's uncomfortable, but if you talk to your artist while it's being done it helps the time pass. Boney areas hurt more than "thicker" meatier areas

OK everyone....keep posting, I know more of you MUST have some to show.....

Taz-Zoe, very cute!

Robyn I liked you explanation of the scratching over and over, that's exactly how it feels to me. Not a good feeling but worth it all in the end.

Now, I did find a scrapbook page where I put the pictures of my tattoos I have and one is a little risque' so look at your own risk!

Not all of them mean something, just designs I liked.
The bird of paradise was a gift from my dad, the Sturgis one we just wanted a remembrance of when we went there (we had him draw the design from a pin we got there) and the flowers on my left hip was an anniversary gift from Mark (he also got one at the same time).
The large one one my right side I had the artist draw up. I really like it all except the dark shaded part on my butt, just wish he wouldn't have filled it all in with black (too late now though

).

I do need some touch up on some of them and I have my very first one (an eagle on my right arm-my whole family has some sort of eagle tattoo) that I like, but has faded so much and is so plain. One of these days I'll get it fixed

Anna, I LOVE yours!! Wow, the one on your back/side are truly a work of art...so awesome!! Rob and I have a 10 year anniversary coming up in April, and we may get a tattoo for it...the same one...we're thinking of the sparrow, they have 1 mate for life and so that symbolizes our marriage, if we get it, I'll have to take a pic. Rob also wants to get a "pin up" of me...kinda like a model from the forties, but of me...we'll see

That may be another idea of an anniversary gift to him. But they are really great tattoos, thanks for sharing!!

I have one on my upper left buttock/hip of a dream catcher. Don't have a picture of it though. My son and I each had one done when we were in Amsterdam a few years back. His is Mr Natural on his right shoulder. That whole trip was magic and special for both of us.

I love all the tattoos! Robyn- your flower tattoo is incredible!

I have currently have 2, I want more though.

This one was a birthday present from my husband (he was my fiancee then though). I got it 7 years ago, a couple months before our wedding. I've loved ladybugs for as long as I can remember (since I was a kid). "Ladybug" is also Justin's nickname for me. Also I drew the ladybug.

This one I got 2 years ago. (The picture was taken just after it was done.) I got it simply because I love my pets and wanted something to represent them.

Wow! These tattoos are really beautiful. Tattoo artists truly are artists. I've seen several episodes of Miami Ink and was always impressed by Cat's portrait work. It simply amazes me how someone could replicate a face of a person on skin with such detail and accuracy.

My skin is getting very sensitive as I get older and thus I know it would not be a good idea for me to even try. Also I know I the type who would tend to want *a change* after awhile. Not an option with a tattoo.
