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!!

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

Lady Pi Phi:

From what I'm thinking, the size of a dime would be too small. I don't think the writing inside would show up. Someone would have to get all up in your ankle's grill in order to see what it said. I think angel w/o letters, or get it bigger, somewhere else if you have to.

Here's my butterly tattoo Not really that great of a pic, sorry.

Lady Pi Phi · #7 04-30-2003, 04:23 PM

I don't want the writing or the feet, just the angel.

Is a dime still too small?

I really like your butterfly. How big is it?

SATX*APhi · #8 04-30-2003, 04:26 PM

Oooh, I thought you wanted your letters in it. How about a nickel?

Thanks.

My tattoo is a little bigger than the size of a slice of bread. It's huge! (Sorry, couldn't think of anything else that size.)

a nickle could work possibly. I just held up every coin I have to ankle (ok I am bored at work and I want to go home...only 40 more minutes). I think a penny and dime are too small. But I don't want it any bigger than a toonie.

I'd guess I have to ask the artist if he can do it that small

Let me know what happens.

SATX, your butterfly is GORGEOUS!!!!!! I love it!

LadyPiPhi, what you might want to do is take the design to a tattoo parlor. They can mess around with the size on a xerox machine, and then you can see what size you like and what looks good from far away. When I got mine, they made different size copies so I could put it on my arm and even move it around and look in the mirror to see exactly how big and where I wanted it.

Have fun!!

I have the badge on my left calf. I want the letters on my right ankle. But first I want a snake wrapped around the lower part of my left leg. And the Libra scales on my lower back.

I'm diggin' it.

I can't wait to get my next tattoo (it'll be # 3). I think I'm going to go with 2 friends of mine.

Anyway, I'm looking for ideas. I want to make sure it's something I can live with and has a special meaning for me.

I had the angel idea yesterday as something to represent my sorority, but I thought that it didn't really go with the rest of the ones on my body. I thought about getting the Chinese/Japanese/Kanji (obviosuly not all 3) symbol for either sister/sisterhood or angel.

I was just wondering if anyone knew of any good websites where I can find a picture of this symbol?
