Tattoos

AmyCat...

Congrats on your tattoo. I put ointment on mine for about two weeks and I think it stopped stinging after a week (maybe shorter than that).

I am considering a second tattoo. My first one is a crescent moon with a cloud going through it. There are four little stars outlining the moon also. This one took about 1.5 hours, mainly because of all the detailing and the fact that the colors are really light. (They had to go over them several times before they would take into my skin.)

Anyway, if I get a second one, it's going to be two little dplphins swimming with each other on the top of my foot. My boyfriend made me a candle for my 21st bday with two dolphins playing and he just recently brought me home a dolphin statue thingy from Miami Beach. So, if I got this tattoo, it would be symbolic of our relationship together. And he's going to get a skull and crossbones on his left shoulder with his fraternity brother number beneath the crossbones. (This was my idea, and suddenly his entire fraternity is going to do the same.) I don't know when we are getting these tattoos, but I will keep you guys posted!

i know that i will be getting a tattoo this summer......aug. 21 will be the 3 yr anniversary of my friend luke's death, so i am getting the chinese symbol for "mourned loss"....i wanted to get one for him right after he passed, but my friend david convinced me to wait a while before permanantly marking myself. so, 3 yrs has gone by and i still want it, plus i have known this to be the one for around 2 yrs...so. my problem now is where to put it.......

Follow this link to a pic of my tattoo.

It's on my left ankle.

kitso- love the tattoo.. i've said it before, but i'll definitely say it again: IT'S HOT!

amycat, congrats! beware of hot water on it in the shower.. wear the ointment religiously until the flakes of skin stop coming off.. a couple weeks usually... a little less sometimes.

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!

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!

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 ) may be my cut off number.

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!!!

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!

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

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!!!!
