Body art---Tattoos

[darkman]

Nat,

Why did you hold back? Here's the real deal!!! Piercings and all...

Oh, but it's not me!

[natatbeach]

that was the first go ...after three kids...I may eventually go back and have her finished...

if you're refering to holding back on skin---trust me there's not much to see...not yet at least...

so where are yours ????

Is that Jean Harlow or Mae West ? what movie starlet is that on her leg ? that's a beautiful tattoo

[megan]

My ink is on my back!
Argh!

Yeah, I tried to do it myself... I finally gave up and made my husband do it! (lucky he just happens to be home today! )

[Mig]

Yeah, mine too - I have to study for a final tonight, but tomorrow night maybe I'll set up the tripod and see if I can not mess it up too badly!

[Mig]

Perfect timing Nat! I came in to work this morning and one of my wise-ass friends had taped ads for a tattoo parlor and the local "Tattoo Expo and Bike Rally" to my monitor. She hates tattoos and thinks they're "stupid" and that I'm stupid for loving them. (I have two and want more!) She also thinks I curse too much (I do) and has decided that I should be a trucker when I grow up. I love my friends.

I've always had a love hate relationship with them--lol

I like the fairy I have (I created her) but I get sick of people's comments....and it was difficult for me when I got married because I didn't exactly look like the most conventional bride from the back... the dres I chose almost showcased the tattoo and several guests and people thought it would be "cool" to take pics of the bride and my tatt and send them to me so I ended up with a bunch of biker chick bride pics from my wedding ugh---whatever!---they meant well.

even with a tripod it wasn't easy---i finally propped it on my computer armoire and self timed it.... who thought of this dumb posting anyway!?

[darkrainfall]

*smile* This is a great topic... I have a tattoo, but it's on my back and difficult to shoot... my boyfriend, Kev and I went and got tattoos... and no... we didn't get each other's names, or anything even remotely related, but I must thank Kev for funding my tattoo endeavor. When I see him later tonight, I'll have him picture it for me, so I can post it. Mine is just simple, I had the tattoo guy design it for me...
I could of course tell funnie stories about Kev's tattoo experience *mischievous smiles*, but I know he reads this site from time to time...

Natabeach you sure have a way of starting some interesting and thought provoking threads. What did we ever do without you?

Indeed Larry! She keeps things hopping doesn't she? Yaay Nat

[natatbeach]

it was a post on Critique that got me thinking--- trust me my mind and it's workings are an "interesting" thing...it's like a Rolodex of ideas---hmmm

[natatbeach]

how far is Louisville Kentucky from where you and your wife are at...?

Larry' been there on business for a few days and he wants to go back and check it out for fun...I figured two birds with one stone ya know

I am about two hours from Louisville. Not a bad drive up I 64. Last Saturday I spent the whole day moving my son and his wife to Louisville. She is a graduate assistant at Uof L and he is an architech working in Frankfort, KY. Louisville is nice city as cities go. Of course my little town of 3000 is more to my liking. If you come let me know my wife and I will have a built in place to stay with the son there and Louisville came be a fun place to shoot some pictures. Here is a picture from this weekends move. This son doesn't have any ink but my other son and his wife have multiples, but alas no images of them. The old coot is me and the young guy in the middle is my son the guy in red is his former college roomate and good friend.

eyes, O.T.

[Old Timer]

Everyone has to have some feature that is noteworthy. Age robbed me of most of mine, but the eyes stayed blue as the body exploded and the hair disappeared.

ala Colorado Photogathering, 2001.



Not mine, but it's a tat pic!

[Speed]

At this stage in my life I don't know that I'm pro tattoos (for myself) but I don't disapprove---it's all in personal taste.

So please share a pic and maybe a story of your skin creation if you have any.

Sorry the one I posted is as good as it gets...hard to take a shot of your shoulder even with the self timer...

a sleeping fairy or as some at church would call it ---the naked woman on my shoulder

You have a tatoo?

I'm crushed!

I'm devastated!

I'm in a state of shock!

Geez, I'm an old man. You keep dropping bombshells like this and my ticker may short out! LOL

;-)

[natatbeach]

That's me---I'll tell you a story or two (or three) some day (or four) when we come down to your neck of the woods

I will be waiting with bated breath! (And mild trepidation!)

Let me know if you and Larry can ever get down here. If we are in town, we can definitely put you up. (Five bedrooms-seven beds) Why pay for a Motel 6 when you've got PR family in town?

:-)

Please forgive the glare from my horribly pale skin. And the odd angle. And the fuzziness (of the photos...my back is not fuzzy - I swear!)

1st one is on my lower back (right side). Got it when I was 18, I believe the conversation with my parents went something along the lines of "I'm going to get a tattoo" "No, you are not" "Okay, see you later." But they're used to it - out of four kids only one doesn't have a tattoo - the eldest "perfect" child. My mother is the only other one in the family without one, since my dad has the Navy special - his name on his arm.

2nd one is on my left shoulder - that one was done in 2003.

My tats are so hardcore I can't stand it.

[paulnj]

sweet!

my legs were done in 89 and 91.... and I get PLENTY OF SUN

your lower back tattoo seems to be holding up quite nicely!!!!!

DID YOU SAY LOWER BACK

GOT THIS ONE WHEN I WAS 16.... that's my spine in the middle for scale

16 years of full sun and it's still going strong

somebody request a piercing thread

[adina]

Your son and his friend remind me of Adam Sandler and David Arquette.

This is the one on my ankle... (and the accompanying razor burn! )it was my first one, so it's a little older and needs to be recolored... had it done in '95.

More "nature" body art!

GOSH.. now i need to shoot my ankles?

recolored is an option, but only if you think it's a must

Ohhh! It's Beauty and the Beast! Or the Beast, anyway. My 3 year old recognized that right away. She is impressed!
