My older sister and her best friend got matching tattoos one night. They both got martini glasses.. they were soooooo cute! I could never do that though.. I'm a scaredy cat!:p

I like tatoos. I have three and they all mean something. One i got with all my friends when we were seniors in high school. One i got when those same friends and i all turned 21. And one i got to remind me of something that i love.

but i don't think i would get anymore. 3 is enough for me.

they are also in spots that i can easily cover- i would never have gotten one if i did not have it covered up for imporant events!!!

When I got mine, they said to use ointment for 2 weeks, so I did...the only sucky part is when it gets all over your clothes. If I remember correctly, I applied it every few hours.

Mine really stopped stinging by the next day. That's usually how long it takes for me to want to get another one, LOL!

Congrats! :) I can't wait to see pics!

Did you ever get the tattoo?

AmyCat, congrats!!!

I just got my second one (April 3) to celebrate 10 wonderful years with my honey. I think three (maybe four :D) may be my cut off number.

In case you wanted to read what I posted after getting it:

I FINALLY GOT MY A-PHI TATTOO!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll just go ahead and post what I posted in the A-Phi forum.

---------------------------------------------------

I just walked in the door from getting my second tattoo!!! Picture the new member badge. (It is an ivy leaf with the letter A on the left side of the leaf and the letter Phi on the right side of the leaf.) Go to http://www.creighton.edu/AlphaPhi/symbols.html and scroll about half way down. The badge is pictured on the right had side and is silver. Okay, that's what I got, although the ivy leaf is maroon and the A - Phi letters are not colored (they are my skin color). It is prettttttty!!!!!!! Oh yeah, I got it on my foot, about mid-way between my pinky toe and my ankle. It is at a 45 degree angleand is the size of about a quarter, maybe a little bit bigger. I will have to take a picture and post it.

I am super excited about it!!!!!!!!! I called my big on the way to the parlor and she was giving me ideas, but I know she wasn't taking me seriously. I called after it was over with and she was all excited and congratulated me. I LOVE MY BIG!!!!! She is the best big in the whole wide world. I would never, ever wish for another!!! :D

It wasn't really a "spur of the moment" type of deal, per se. Today at work, around 4pm-ish, I was in this hyper mood and called my biological sisiter and told her that when I got out of work I wanted to go and get a tattoo. Fast-forward to tonight. We were going to go out to a club with a whole bunch of people I work with, but we ended up staying home b/c we were all tired. At 1:30am, my sister busted out with, "So let's go and get your tattoo." I got the pictures, and we took off. The rest is history! :D

Ohhhh, I am so excited you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D

You and your sisters are cuties.

No, Miss Howe. Thank you.

I have been thinking about getting a tattoo but I'm such a wimp when it comes to pain...does it really hurt a lot?? I really really want to get one but that's the only thing that is stopping me from doing it..THE PAIN!!!!

I used to think about the pain of getting a tattoo. . .that is until I got mine. I'm such a wimp that I cried before he started the tattoo. Mine is my name in script on my lower back. It wasn't really painful but rather an annoying feeling. By the time it started to really annoy me thet tattoo was already done. I'm thinking of getting my second in honor of my graduation from college next month.

I have no tatoos, when I was like 16, sometimes I would think that'd make a good tatoo...but I honestly have never really wanted one.

I like what Ozzy said..."You want to be unique? Don't get a tatoo!"

My butterfly tattoo wasn't finished and I'd been dreading having to go back and get it finished, as it's a huge mo' fo'. Sooo, after randomly deciding last night to go get it finished, I went to the parlor (the only one open last night, btw) and I got it finished. It took almost two hours, but it's beautiful!! I love it!! I will be taking a picture of it soon and posting it. I'll be sure to post a link for all the GC'ers. I love my new tattoo!! :D

I have a questions for the tattoo experts. I have 2 tattoos. One on my back (middle of my back) and one on my upper thigh. They aren't huge but they are pretty big. I'd say maybe the size of a regular post it note.

I want to get another one (actually I'd like to get a few more...but we'll just get one more for now), but I would like to get it on my ankle. However I don't want to have it too big. I was thining maybe the size of a dime.

here's a picture of the one I want to get,angel tattoo
minus the name and feet (yeah I know's it's not mine but I really like it and I want it to represent Pi Phi with me tattooing my letters).

Is it possible for me to get this done the size of a dime, because if I get my ankle tattooed I want it really small just because I don't like huge tatoos on the ankle
