I definitely agree! Yay for tattoos! :)

Ohhh, I should not have read this thread-I am soo trying to make myself wait and not run out right now and get tatoos #4 and#5!! # 4 is going to be " HOOK 'EM '03"-cos I just graduated
#5 is going to be a bracelet design I saw from James Avery...I'm taking the pic into the parlor and am going to have them enlarge the design, and I'm getting it on the back of my neck...but I have to wait 4 more months until after I get married....wouldn't be good with a strapless dress(of course tat #3 will be seen anyhoo)..but reading this thread really makes me want them NOW!!:p

I have one... and I looooooooooove it.

It's a Celtic shooting star, sorta low on my right hip. I got it almost 2 years ago, and most of my friends still don't know about it - and my dad will NEVER find out (he'll kill me... seriously, dead Kerri if he ever finds out) and my mom just found out like two weeks ago, and only because I was wearing stupid pants that didn't fit and I was twisted around funny in the car.

I had wanted a star tat since like seventh grade, and then in tenth grade I decided it would be a shooting star. A friend at camp the summer between sophomore and junior year of college asked if I wanted to go the Monday after camp when a bunch of people were getting tats - she was mostly joking when she asked me, since it's SO out of character for me to actually get one. But that night, I took a group of campers star-gazing, and we saw SIX shooting stars - it was a sign!

Anyways, I ended up going to the place where my best friend got her tat, and we had the same artist. My tattoo is a black outline, with blue fading into purple, the star is a little smaller than a quarter and then it has three lines shooting out from it. It's low enough on my hip that my bikini normally covers it, and my pants normally do unless I'm wearing pants that are too big for me.

I want another one, a fleur-de-lis low on my left hip, but I don't think I'll do it - I don't want it the way I had to have my star.

I want to get another one and I have a couple designs picked out. Now I just have to talk to my husband about it because he hates tattoos!! He was extremely pissed when I got my first one!

The symbol I have (Hope) was not on the wall of the [parlor so we had to look it up. The place I went to had a dictionary of kanji (the characters) so we found it pretty easily. If you don't know anyone who could translate it for you, I'm sure the parlor has a dictionary for just that reason.

Oh I think I might be getting may tattoo this saturday. I am very excitied!!

I got my first (possibly only) tattoo last night! It's a tiny star, about nickle or dime size, on my right hip. Because I'm crazy like that, it's in Green Bay Packers green and gold. Very cute.

I think I've decided what I want for my tattoos..but I'm not really sure.

I want a rose, but not because its like "popular" for a girl to get or because it has to do with Phi Sig...Its my last name. Ha. Its nice having a name you can draw out. And then a butterfly, another cliche I know..but I've been known as a social butterfly with all my friends..so maybe I can tie that in with the rose...

If I get a phi sig related one, i want it to be "Aspire, Act, Acheive" in kanji...somewhere...not sure where.

Lady Pi Phi -- you will have to let us know if you get it after all!!

lindsay_iu -- sounds cute!

Guess what?
 

Guess what everybody?

I finally did it. I got my tattoo today. I went after work to get it done. I love it. I had to go by myself, so I was a little uneasy, but the place I got it done was great.

I got Pi Phi's flower, the wine carnation and beside it I got the kanji symbol for friend. It's on the inside of my left ankle.

As soon as I get some pictures I'll post for all to see.
I am so excited. My ankle is still stinging as we speak. I actually just got home.

Yippeee for me!

Yay! Congratulations! Your tattoo sounds really pretty!

I have been thinking about getting a little anchor tattoo, so we'll see...;)

I am getting my next tattoo on June 11 with a couple of my sisters. We're all getting three little pink stars in the way they are on our badge. I am so excited!!! I'm going to get it on my right foot, once I get it I'll try and post a picture. :D

Congratulations, Lady Pi Phi! I can't wait to see pictures!! :)

Woo hoo!! I want to see!! :D

That sounds so cute, SpiceySpice! Where on your foot are you getting them?
