Title: Tattoo's & Piercings
Post by: Lord Figaro on August 26, 2008, 01:11:41 PM
Back at the old boards we had a place to post pictures of our tattoos. So I thought it might be nice to post another one here to show off our ink and such.  Don't be shy.

We still need to color in the Koi, it's going to be yellows and oranges and hopefully that will finish that one. Then on to the next one.

I'm not too sure on getting a tattoo, but the ear piercing would be cool. Think about it: You're an old grandmother or grandfather, and your grandchildren ask "What's that weird looking thing on your...?" No thanks. Not for me. With piercings, you can always take them out. They heal. Sorta. I think.

Post by: Arsinoe Selene on September 01, 2008, 10:49:48 PM
I have doubles in my ears. Two lobe piercings in each. Double hoops are really good. ;)

I want to get a celtic knot on my shoulderblade. Its a version of the triquetra (trinity knot), and it would be maybe 3" across at the widest point. Outlined in dark green, and shaded to look like a ribbon at the intersections.

'Course, don't tell my parents, but I was thinking about doing it as a graduation present to myself when I get my AA, and transfering to a different college. Still means at least three years, though, most likely more.

My dad has a koi and water on his calf, manta ray on his shoulderblade, and a gecko on the front of his shoulder. We joke that he should get a bloody zipper on the front of his other shoulder, because he has a big cresent shaped scar there. He wouldn't get anything on the scar, though.

My mom has a small hibiscus on her ankle, and three plumeria on her shoulderblade.

Post by: Dustin on September 03, 2008, 04:24:27 PM
My first tat was this triquetra. I got it in 2000 in Charleston, Tennessee on my right upper arm.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v299/italiandaddy/tattoo%20stuff/100_1685.jpg)

In 2001, I got this dreamcatcher, with Cherokee script for the word "peace" above it, on my left upper arm. This one was done in Cleveland, Tennessee.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v299/italiandaddy/tattoo%20stuff/100_1681.jpg)

Sometime in the next couple of months, I'll be getting a lauburu (Basque cross) on my right upper arm, under the triquetra.

I am amazed at the colors I see in the new tat's.  Time will tell how well they last but they are so much more vibrant than the inks of 'old'!

Apologize for the blurriness of the bottom ones. They're low on my hips, so to get a clear shot, you see my underwear, always. So, yeah. You guys just get the ink  :P

Elvish for 'sun sister'.

My sister needs to post hers!  It's awesome!

Bugsey - Thanks so much. I designed all of them myself. There's something nice about knowing they don't match anyone else's (especially my wings!)

Title: Re: Tattoo's & Piercings
Post by: JessicaB on November 06, 2008, 11:02:13 AM
Thanks Lady Joyce Ann. I wanted something that was my own.
It's a fun game if I'm wearing a shirt they're visible in to have people guess what they are. I've gotten music notes, tree roots... spiders I think. Fun answers sometimes. I think the best compliment I got on them is that they look like something Edward Gorey would draw (I <3 his artwork :D)
Title: Re: Tattoo's & Piercings
Post by: Zoë on November 11, 2008, 07:34:56 PM
Bugsey, I love the Elven on your shoulder!  It looks great! 

I, meanwhile, got my lip pierced today!  Something I've been really really wanting to do since I was in high school.  I think it looks great.  Unfortunately it's small (it's a stud not a ring) so pics are kind of hard to take of it.  When the piercer finished it, she was like "Wow, it f#*&ing suits you!"  Haha.  We'll see how my parents react to it when I go home for Thanksgiving.  :O

This was my 3rd (19yrs) right ankle...it's an ankh with a rose in the center

4th tat (20yrs) left mid-calf...means Courage

Ooo! Ooo!!  I'll play! I'll play!!

Let's see.....

I got my first 2 a few months apart waaaaaaaaaay back in 1989...

(http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/101/l_87c03ee2fa1444f5ab496f8c83a81a46.jpg)

(http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/102/l_a0f2a5c26fdc4a918996e2b095fce71c.jpg)

...as you can see, I thought "flash" was the epitome of tattoo art at the time.  :P

I got this one in 2000 and had started giving some thought by then...

(http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/85/l_7d35f1f0637e443dbb2e383002ee6b73.jpg)

...this is also starting to become a common theme in my garb.  It's a Chaos symbol, but I do get asked why I have a ship's wheel on my leg a lot.  ::)

My next one is my official "geek" tag.  It's gaming dice with a banner that says "Choose Your Weapon".  I can't take credit for it, but I still think it's awesome.
After that, something to cover the demon, something for my son (no idea what yet, but I have a "My heart, Your Armor" theme in mind), A back piece I've been wanting for about 20 yrs now and a small piece on my thigh done in that Asian/Polynesian style with the small blade and mallet....just to say I did it.
Title: Re: Tattoo's & Piercings
Post by: Tygrkat on May 23, 2009, 05:48:22 PM
I finally have some good pictures of my backpiece - it's still 'under construction'. All of the outlining is finished, now we just have to focus on filling in the lines, then the color between/behind them.


The whole piece so far:

The star has blue in the center.  In that pic, it was really new and the ink was fairly dark, plus maybe the lighting made the color look darker.  I need to get a more recent pic of it.

So....
I've gotten it in my head to cover the demon head on my right shoulder with a half, or possibly 3/4, sleeve dedicated to my son.  It'll contain the obvious like his name and birthdate, and I'm going to have them add his hand flashing the "Metal Horns" sign.  (I already have a pic of this on my cellphone) Also, I have a "My heart/Your armor" idea but am not real sure how to flesh it out.  Luckily, tattoo artists are pretty imaginative! (I hope!) I'm also toying with the idea of a heart, eternity symbol, a rainbow, the male/female symbols, dollar signs and something to signify poverty. (??) Basically, "I'll always love you. Gay, straight, rich, poor" (the gay/straight part comes from the parents of one of my son's friends who have, more than once, threatened to "beat the 'gay' outta their son" should he become so! Parents of the Year nominees, no?)
Anywho...that's the idea in a nutshell.  Any feedback is much appreciated, as I'm not the most imaginative guy, so thanks in advance!

So far, I have:
left shoulder blade area... a butterfly and a baby dragon hatching from it's egg (in memory of my daughter)
Right shoulder blade area...symbol for strength (memory of my dad) and triple moon with pentacle
Stomach area...dragon based off a Boris Valejo print.

Hopefully I will have a new one (or 2) when I return from vacation in a couple weeks.

I need to take good pics of mine, but here's the best I have.
(http://ciarraide.org/images/tattoos_composite.jpg)
The overall
(http://ciarraide.org/temp/pics/tat_bicep.jpg)
Right bicep (my pale skin, best used as a reflector for landing aircraft at night with a candle, does not like the camera flash)
(http://ciarraide.org/temp/pics/tat_right_arm.jpg)
My whole right arm (wife ambushed me with a digital camera while naked,
grabbed the nearest thing for cover which turned out to be a flannel bathrobe with teddy bears on it  ;D )

Left arm

Closeup of the left shoulder

Chest (mirrored on either side)
(http://ciarraide.org/temp/pics/fenian_wolf.jpg)
The Fenian Wolf design on my right shoulder

Working on finding the time to continue out the center chest, collar, shoulders, back, abdomen, buttock, leg, and calf designs. By the time I'm done, my tatúnna laoigh will be from neck to feet

Some flash waves to remind me of walking the beaches in Hawaii - & one of my favorite Japanese paintings of a tsunami - & a green sea turtle to honor one basking in the sun on a black sand beach.  The shell is formed on my ankle bone.  *ouchie*

This is my brand new tat.  I am having it filled in with color as well.  Some combo of white, red, pink, and yellowish gold.  Not exactly sure how I'm going to have it colored in yet, but I will be deciding within the next few weeks.  I have 2 more 2 hr sittings to completely finish up the tat.  I love it thus far, but it will be awesome when done hopefully.

As soon as pictures are taken, the new ink will be posted...just got my inscribed faerie star done....just line work right now, but i think it works. Debating on coloring it in with a lavender star and aqua blue circle...what do you guys think? It'll be easier to decide when the pic is up, I know, but any ideas?

I'm really happy with how crisp the lines are, but I can't decide. Do I leave it as line art or go back and get the star and circle filled in in purple?

Here is all of my ink so far ( I will be getting more in the next few months). I am also gauging my ears slowly right now, working up from a 16g to about a 00g.

first - my first tattoo, the centerpiece of a chest piece that will be completed by years end.

Second - My newest tattoo, Durga

tat (http://www.flickr.com/photos/wanderingpoet/565161474/) by WanderingPoet (http://www.flickr.com/people/wanderingpoet/), on Flickr

Both of these pictures were taken shortly after completion, so the colors have "settled" more by now.

I am getting two tattoos. One a daisy chain behind by ear going down a little onto my neck and the second a pair of polar bears.(Inside meaning for myself and fiance.)

Post by: Mairte on May 08, 2012, 09:13:38 AM
Well, I got my first tattoo...it didn't end up being the daisy chain or the polar bears (though the polar bears are imminent!)
I got a blue flower with a black stem behind my right ear.
