Nah dude.

Anytime you follow a trend that Mike Tyson is a part of, you're socially golden.

Yeah except for the whole rape thing. Mike ruined it for everyone who got a tattoo on their face.

I've narrowed my ideas down to 2.

I'm thinking either 3 stars down my spine or a star/tribal design on my lower back under the one I already have.

So basically I have to decide by tomorrow afternoon, cause that's when I'm getting it done.

People, what do you think.

(Just so you know, I'm not taking you're word as gold, just looking for some ideas. Thanks!)

I personally vote for the stars; that sounds like it would look nice

I got my thierd and fourth tattoos the wednesday before last: a small daisy on the inside of my right wrist and three daisies and leaves on the top of my right foot, right below my 4th and 5th toes.

Super cute!!

I have 3 tattoos. 2 are sun like tribals. one has a japanese symbol in the middle and is the godsmack sun. the other is my own design, and has PI K A in the middle. and then i have a tribal band around one arm. but that is all that i am getting. i think.

Lady Pi Phi, I vote for the tribal design.

Does it look like the evil LaCoste shirt?

after forever thinking about it and wanting to get one, i finally got my tattoo It's a Trinity knot (also know as a love knot) of celtic tradition. It symbolizes a person's spiritual growth, eternal life and never ending love. It's black, pretty small, very simple and it's on the small of my back right above my butt

here's what it look like for those who don't know what a trinity knot is:

Hate to tell you, since I'm sure you thought you researched your tattoo carefully, but you've erred. It's actually called a Triqueta, and is supposed to represent the three levels of being, physical, mental and spiritual, or the three parts of man, the heart, the brain, and the body.

And you have it upside down, there should be two points on the top on an even level, signifying that the mental and spiritual supercede the physical.

The love knot has four points, and the triqueta wasn't called a trinity knot until AFTER the change to Christianity, as everything important was just changed to something more "Christian" as the pagans were converted.

I have this tattoo, approximately an inch above my tailbone (right side up, of course), it's just one of the four that I have. Two five-pointed stars, one on each hip bone, and an actual love knot on the back of my neck near the hair line.

for the past 3 weeks now i have been thinking about getting a tattoo. i was close to getting one last week, but the tattoo place i went to didn't open until 45 minutes later. the guy told me that i could look around, i did and then decided to leave (yeah yeah...i chickened out, plus i didn't want to be there by myself ). my friend said that she would go with me to the person who did her tattoo for a cheaper price. the one i want looks like this

I went on saturday to get it done but they were really busy so I made an appointment for sunday afternoon.

I ended up getting a star and the tribal design. The the star is in the middle with a symmetrical design on either side.

It's so cool. I love it and the artist did a really great job. It's on my lower back, under the one I already have there.

But damn, it hurt like a mofo! The most painful of all my tats. But it only took about 25 minutes. Well worth the pain.

Pictures to come soon. I promise.

Back in college I wanted to get my letters on my ankle but never did and I am kind of glad, because I think a 30-something mom in a sophisticated dress at some classy event looks kind of silly with a tattoo on her leg. BUT that said I still kind of dig "hidden" tattoos. I LOVE Paris Hilton's....she has that little tiara on her hipbone....how perfect. I could see myself with one of those. When my mom died I though about getting a little peach tattoo because Peaches was the nickname my best friend and I gave her but I never did it.

i did get my tattoo.....can't remember if i posted about the final decision or not. i went to the tat place and tried to find the symbol i wanted ("mourned loss"), but i couldn't. i was able to find, however, 2 symbols that when combined mean "sorrow".....since i got it on the 3 yr anniversary of luke's death. it's a meaningful tattoo to me, and i am glad that i got it. i also got it high enough on the bottom right side of my back that it's not always showing. more of a personal thing than something for show. never year i think i'll get "hope" underneath it....maaaaaybe.

ETA: link to my tattoo pic is here...just go to the "my photos" album....it's in there.....i don't think a direct link works....
