Haha yeah, that's just cool.

okay... i got some more work done today. as a birthday present to myself...

i've been planning this for over a year and finally got it done! the idea is for this too look like henna... only it's permanent. it looks darker, but we used a nice brown and orange to create something more true to the natural colour of henna. we used a thicker needle as well, to create the right look ;)

i was very surprised that it didn't hurt at all. definitely one of my most enjoyable pain-free tat experiences. in two weeks, i'm getting the other foot done in two weeks.

so here's some pics... a little bit of swelling but not much at all actually.

Oohhhh, I like that, Aleesha!! Very pretty!!! I'd never want to wear shoes! :D

Yup, I love it, too! Just amazing. I've been thinking about a foot tat, myself, I really like them.

Ooh, I love it Aleesha!! :love: I'm also delighted to hear it didn't hurt you, I've heard just the opposite from other foot tattoo stories and I've often wondered about getting something kind of henna style there.

judy, my artist told me it's time to give up my berks and gets some thongs... i said no way LOL i'll wear bare feet!!!

sarah, honestly it didn't hurt at all... go for it!

sheree, i thought it would hurt... but nope. a VERY pleasant surprise indeed!

for my tat, I want to get a cross on my arm, with a snake wraping around it, maybe a few diffrent things would be added on.Its a long ways away, so no worries, but it would resembles my loves. Snakes and church! Maybe ad my last name initial. jsut and idea.

I like other people's tattoo's, but when it comes to me getting one... I dunno, I have a hard time imagining me wanting them for the rest of my life. However, when I finish the Corps I am getting my outfit insignia tattooed between my shoulder blades. There is no doubt about it. Nothing has made me feel more proud of myself and what I've accomplished.

Here's our insignia on one of our PT shirts.

sorry about the crappy pictures they were taken with a camera phone.

wow that's a lot of black... must have taken a good long while to fill that in... and touch it up... and heal.

looking good guys!

Here are mine touched up and redone. At first they were just the outlines, but my guy Tony that does my ink wanted to get creative with them....

well, both of these need to be cleaned up but....

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r...owtatthumb.jpg

i have 2 others~ the one on my back is nice but impossible for me to take a pic of... and the other is so messed up, i don't show ANYBODY. except matt... really need to get it covered because there is no fixing it!

well i got my other foot done today :) i looooove it.

here's a pic of my right foot:

http://www.timelessspirit.com/images.../rightfoot.jpg

and both feet together!

http://www.timelessspirit.com/images...o/bothfeet.jpg

i'm extremely pleased at how much the left foot is healing and looking just like henna... as we hoped. most people who see my foot say "nice henna!" :sunny:

VERY pretty!! If I ever get a tat, I may consider something very similar! I really, really like that look!

thanks Judy. it's amazing how many people are booking with nigel to get their feet done. i'm starting a trend LOL although i really like my feet being 'different'... i know nigel won't replicate them exactly so that's cool with me.

besides... these symbols mean something to me, i can't imagine someone wanting the same since they would mean nothing to them. (but they do say imitation is the biggest form of flattery)

Absolutley gorgeous!:clap:

luv the henna look!


here's the one on my back. it was my first tat and now i wish i had gotten it bigger! maybe i can have my guy put more tribal and stuff.... we'll have to see...

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r...s/100_1839.jpg

how big is it?

umm.... that pic is close to life size... actually i think the pic is a little bigger. about where the pic cuts off to the left and right are my shoulder blades if that gives u a better idea.

ahhh ya i would look great bigger ;)

yeah, it looks ridiculously small with all that open space on my back!

well perhaps it's time to add some more tats!!!

lol! before i get new ones, i need to get my current ones fixed! lol. luckily the bad one isn't in view unless i'm in a bikini! ;)

ahhhhh

I'm getting my new one on Sept 4th, well the first stage anyways. I'll post it when it's on! It's gonna knock some sock off! About 4-5 hours of work to be complete. First stage will be about 3 hours, give or take. Lots of blood lining needs to be done for all the shading. Wish me luck!

Luck!!!

good luck! don't cry! lol... j/k...

Just got this last Tuesday in Seattle.

is that just the way you are standing... or is your tattoo crooked?

I believe its the Wu Tang Clan (rap group) W...its supposed to look like that.:)

yeah the top one is just the way i got my shoulders positioned. and yes that is the wu tang W. i wanted to get my name tatted on me (william) but i figured thw wu W looked cooler and has a little story behind it. got both of those for free from a friend who is trying to become a tattoo artist. im down for free ink any day of the week.

i was talking about the dying to live one :)

I got my design, rough sketch, the other day. There will be some minor tweaks done, but she drew it up in a few minutes for me. Tomorrow is the big day! I can't wait! It's all about the Pain!

And some older ones

And my first tat, from 13 years ago, needs major touch-up or maybe even cover-up.
http://members.cox.net/steelrain/leg1.jpg

sweet tatt man. you gonna cover your back? i want a million tatts.

love love LOVE your new addition. on a scale of one to ten... how was the pain? i don't have any tats on my back but my hubby has one on his neck... it comes down his back a bit and he found his back more painful than his neck.

i'm wondering what your experience was like.

Some parts of the back are very painful while others are not that bad, but that was by far the most painful tattoo I have gotten yet. The others are on my upper arm / shoulder caps, and outer calf....

i just got my 7th and 8th ones the other week!

first sitting
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b1...86/tree002.jpg 2nd sitting

http://photos-a.ak.facebook.com/phot...741044_549.jpg and these are the latest two. they were by far the most painful ones i've had yet.


tip to everyone thinking about getting a tattoo: eat a lot of high-sugar food beforehand. the higher your blood sugar is, the less pain you feel!

My totem spirit is the wolf, my heritage stems from Native Americans and that circle symbol is the Native American Circle of Life, and the sign in the upper corner is my daughter's astro sign...it will be going under my arm between the tribal.

i just caught the last couple pages of this thread and it could take some time to look at all the posts. but here are my tattoos...

This was my first one when i was 15. i just wanted something cool and ended up getting this.
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...28/Photo43.jpg

this i got after my mom was diagnosed with cancer and then i had my own problems, which ended up having 3 major surgeries in a year in a half.
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...4WpKATn_ph.jpg

this one i got after my mom passed away. it was probably the most painful, for many reasons.
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...8/hearttat.jpg



i have been thinking of getting another but not quite sure what yet. i was thinking of adding some angel wings on the cross on my back or something like that.

off all mine... my feet and lower arm were not at all painful. my elbow sucked the most - all the way around... the pocket really sucks and the web on my elbow wasn't fun to sit through at all.
