Got Ink? **DU WARNING**

I thought I'd throw a few of ours in the mix:
One of Winslow's, it displays the tree of life (so to speak)
https://ball-pythons.net/gallery/fil...tattoos010.jpg
Yes that is a bearded dragon on the trunk of the tree:
https://ball-pythons.net/gallery/fil...tattoos011.jpg
As some of you know Katie is the name of Griffin's (our son) biological mom. The bearded dragon is "Tiny" the premature dragon that Winslow and Katie raised with heartwrenching hours and days and months. Tiny died within his first 2 years of life (We were surprised to see him live that long). When Katie was in the fatal car accident Winslow went out the day she passed and had Tiny and her name put on his upper arm. Then last year he had the Tree done. It needs a bit of black work redone. But it is my favorite tattoo out of his 7.
Now here's mine (nothing major just yet):
The dragonfly on my chest (using the Native American signature for warrior)
https://ball-pythons.net/gallery/fil...tattoos026.jpg
This frog was done last October for our wedding anniversary it is on my right upper arm (pictures just sideways):
https://ball-pythons.net/gallery/fil...tattoos009.jpg
And the matching lizard on my left arm was also done last October for my Birthday:

I hope you like them. If I get around to more photo ops I'll take our other ones and post them too (maybe some shots of Winslow's 14 piercings too ;) .
Sincerely,
Rusty

Rusty I just love your frog and lizard! :O BEAUTIFUL!! :love: Winslow's are nice too, and such a lovely way to remember those that touch your lives. :sweeet:

Thanks,
The next one for me is in the works. All I'll say is turtle back piece. Winslow will be having his full leg done with a tree and carpet python combo. That will be a while (financial reasons).
Thanks
Rusty

How long did that take?

Nice tats, everyone! And I agree, ink is so addictive. I absolutely love seeing new posts in this thread, so many people have such great body art.

WOW!
Some of those tats are outstanding!

I'm inkless right now but I've been thinking about getting a small snake tat in the furture. Just not sure what I'd like it to look like yet, or where to get it done at.

It's the addiction that never ends:

I have them too! I dont have any pics, but I have a Gecko on my right hand, a water symbol, twin bettas (Picses symbol) and a turtle up my right arm, with water running through, the Batman & Riddler symbols on my left calf, a dragon sitting on a mushroom on my right leg, a tribal on my upper back, a tribal on my right upper arm , and a heart with a hammer on a cracked background that says "Break this one" on my right shoulder.

I have plans to get more in the future.
:pinkele:

and a gragon on my foot, too!

Here are 2 of mine, the bondage fairy is 4 years old and the chinese letters are 3.
Both are my own design, although I did get the idea for the fairy from a comic. Although she evolved into my own.

O yea :P .When your young and dumb and in love you do some things that are totaly life threatning down the road lol:P .

I'm telling ya, right when you get your partners name inked into your skin...the curse has started and its only a matter of time for you split up.


I dont blame your wife for wanting to carve it out...:O

And I personally think that outlines and black ink hurt more, something about those 11 needless hurts a little bit more then the 7 or so.

Gee where is the love :P :P :P .My wife is setting right here and she started laughing when i read her your response:eek: :8: :8: :8:

personally i like the feeling of the outline... cutting the skin (although i'm not into cutting otherwise) but the shading or colouring in... well sometimes it's just relaxing and other times it's annoying LOL depends on how long i've been sitting there.

To tell you the truth i am a sissy when it comes to those needles:P .When i had the tat done i started getting a litte wezzy as the sound of the needle thing reminded me of the dentists drill :bolt: :bolt: .I just keep it covered with my shirt and i continue to live till the next day:P :cool:

I to am in love with the feeling and the only way I can tell other non-inked people is that it feels like a razor blade edge. They run for the hills after that. The one's that I have took 3 and 4.5 hours each, both times I fell asleep in the chair.

In a sick way though it does feel good, maybe its because I was a cutter for so long.

And joepythons you can tell your wife I'll fly in on the next plane and hold you down while she does it. :sweeet:

But I also think it would be nice for you to cover it with her name.

Here's one more....
http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f2...epts/bws-1.jpg



This one hurt the worst!!

you probably forgot to eat before you got work done. it's sooo important to have your blood sugars up before you get tattooed.

my tattoos took a little longer than yours. one is 5+ hours and the other is over 12 - of course not in one sitting for the 12 hour one.

oh yeah...and for a good laugh..i'd love to cheer everyone up with how stupid i was when i was 15...first tattoos..

https://ball-pythons.net/gallery/fil...9/2/thigh2.JPG

https://ball-pythons.net/gallery/fil...9/2/thigh1.JPG

they're...on my thighs. lol.

ahh kids these days....

the rose is great!! :yes: I want to get a piece going down my side, although I'm not as lean as you so I dont believe it will look that great.

Yeah my first tattoo is lame....the same guy did my fairy but for some reason the first one sucks.

Its a simple leo symbol, but it has these jail house stars around it, reminds me of a self done prison tat. Although I have watched a million prison docu.'s and am sad that their's are better than mine. :P

:rofl:

Hey, everyone has a horrible tattoo...atleast I tell myself that to make me feel better.:oops:

i hope you know i wasn't making fun of you... just laughing at how you put that. it's priceless! :D

I don't have it yet but I plan to get this little fox on my foot or calf:

http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/4621/foxhq6.jpg

The Little Prince has always been a favourite book of mine, and the Fox's lesson is very important. His first lesson is that to become tame is a risk, and it may make you sad, but even then the rest of the world is changed because you have become Tamed by another person (When I look to the stars, I know that in them there is a rose, and she is mine and mine alone, and so all the stars smell of roses). His second lesson is that That which is Essential is Invisible to the eyes, and it is only with the Heart that one can see clearly. All too often I think like a grownup, and stop seeing with my heart. I want the fox on my foot to take me where my heart will lead.

If only I could take my foot to the tattoo artist... but I need a wallet to lead!

My friend has a happy sparrow and sad sparrow, one on either inner ankle. They're beautiful!

oh I know I was just yanking your chain.....sittting and waiting for you to get a really bad tattoo......:picknose:

i already have one LOL at least... i'm not loving it like i'd hoped. :(

*evil laugh*

Yeah for a long time after getting mine, I actually hated them. I'm pretty anal about things, so I nit picked them to death and found a 101 things wrong.

Some times I still sway on loving them and hating them.

I love the feeling of tattoos. The most pain was the one I got on my Achilles. Pretty bad but still not that bad...
