Show off your ink!

[Julius Sedaire]

I was surprised I couldn't find this after searching! Title is pretty self explanatory I'd think, if you have pictures of any tattoos or such, here's a good place to show them off and explain the meaning behind them! Hopefully this isn't found in bad taste, but to me tattoos are the penultimate form of self-expression!

Here's the one I just got today:

This one was done in honor of my family, the text 'athair' meaning 'father' in Irish Gaelic. The bull was chosen for him because my father is about as stubborn and temperamental as one, and is the only man i know to actually KO a bull with his own fist, even if it nearly cost him a foot!

This is an old one I intend to go back and have tidied up and completed, but it was my first. The text on this is Irish Gaelic (seanathair) means 'Grandfather'. The boar was picked because my grandfather used to claim he was more ugly than the arse end of a boar hog, and he possessed only two natural 'tusk' positioned teeth a the end of his life, which he used to curl over his lips and snort at the grandkids to make us laugh!


C'mon Chaos, let us see your tats!

Here's mine. I got this February of 2009 after a rather difficult relationship ended. The guy continued to harrass me for a while. I'd been thinking about getting a tattoo for a while at this point, so I decided to get the Japanese Kanji which mean "Protection" The first pic is to show the detail. I love it because the artist made it look as if it were painted.

And this second pic is for perspective

My only one so far, gonna need it touched up at some point because it's fading a little (boo!)

It's on my left shoulder, and it's the Thurisaz Rune (otherwise known as Thor's Rune) - it's a symbol of protection, and is attributed to Mjölnir ^~^ (Thor's Hammer)

I'm a super star Wars nerd and my family is less blood and more a scattering of marriages, so this one was perfect for me

*grumbles about being to young to get inked*
*and to broke*

I'll have to try and upload some of the designs I've made for friends at some point. Or maybe... well, I doubt hand-drawn temporary tattoos count...
In the meantime I'll just 'stalk' this thread.
Tattoos are wondrous<3

they are expensive and addictive. Had I known about them when i got my first job, I would have had a bank account set up just to save for them

You're right on pricing for the most part. I have spent as little as $50 on one and as much as $700 on another. It's all about who you go to and the amount of work needed to get it done

You want to see my ink? Okay, I'll show you my ink!

*backs out of topic sheepishly*

I love tattoos, though I'm too scared to get one of my own!
