Body art---Tattoos

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 :D

Nat, what's this posting a tat shot without showing all the skin around it? That's what makes them sexy! (but you still can't be #1 :p )

but I thought of how Larry might feel and opted for that instead===reposting wouldn't show you much more but since it is skin art...I re[posted the surrounding area at least ;)

Not that I'm anti-tattoo, but needles make me woozy. I've actually hit the floor a few times, so I don't want to chance it.

Can I do a temp. one? Does that count? It's Hello Kitty....

adina

Nat,

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

Oh, but it's not me!

Mike

I here ya....post any kind you want...:)

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 ????:p

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

Here's one of mine... that's as much skin as I'm showing! ;)

My ink is on my back!
Argh!

Megan

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! )

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!

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. :D

Danielle

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!? :confused: :rolleyes: :D

has a similar one on her chest in shades of blue....pretty

Hey, what about PR's Guru? He's got some serious tats :)

I've got a photo of them from Colorado, but it didn't come out well. :(
I only took one shot with the Holga and the composition is not what I wanted it to be.

I'll search the archives though!

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 :D

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 :)

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 :)

PJ and SAILOR JERRY? have plenty of ink ....

ah.... but so do I :)

so, nat..... pick a body part and I'LL post it......

just about any answer will have a modification :)

I'm PRO CHOICE

Oh boy, this could prove interesting :)

Like Adina, I'm not anti tattoo, but I am chicken :D

Does a big scar count? :D

Well, if we were to showcase ALL of John's body art, we'd need to create a new forum... :D

As for mine, it's not finished, so it is not for anyone's eyes but mine yet...

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.

Hey Stew I've missed your post lately. Where have those images of yours gone. Let's see some more.

Michelle isn't as good with the 1D as me, nor can she frame well / get the correct angle.....

but here goes nothing

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.

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

Then how are we suppose to know where it's located?

Draw us a map maybe? ;-)

*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...

what the heck why not! are you going to try and join us for the June 8th boston get together...???

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 :)
