Tattoos? - Home Talkers Off-Topic Cafe'

I got my tattoo around my ankle last summer that I wanted. It looks like rosary type beads but instead of a cross it has a heart attached on the end. I don't have pictures or I would post. But I want another one on my shoulder blade area. I saw a picture in mind. It shows a mom figure holding a child( I would want 2 children) and she is just looking down at them. I have to really think about it. I want their names added underneath as well. Does anyone else have tattoos in honor of their children?

I plan to get one for each child I have but I haven't gotten anything yet for Karma, because I can't figure out if I want one for each or make the one I get able to extend for all my children. I thought about doing hearts with angel wings going down my calf and add a heart for every baby I have. I already have three tattoos, so I don't want to be a freaky tattoo lady. You can only see one of my tats so I don't mind that. When I do something for my kid/s I want to be able to show it off.

I don't have the link handy, but we just had this discussion at BT.... I'll see if I can dig it up... unless someone beats me to it.

I have one in honor of my husband (we call it his "brand"). I don't have any plans for on to honor my kids but am planning to get matching ones with my sister. I want to show her how much she means to me (she really needs to be able to see that right now). she will be able to see mine (I plan to get it on my ankle) or her's (I think she's planning to get it on her shoulder).

Hubby gets to get his before I can get my next one. Depending on how things go in the next month he may have his by April/May (we need to sort out another issue before he'll think about it).

Anyone get their tattoos yet? I have weightloss goal of 9 more pounds then I'm getting one...still undecided..I may go look around and post ideas and ask for your help!!!

Hubby got his 2 weeks ago. It came out awesome and he is extremely pleased with it (which makes all the difference in the world).

Now my sis & I can talk about what we want to get a more serious idea. Then we'll just have to budget them in, so it will probably be several more months before I get my 2nd..

I was looking last night and I think I have it narrowed down to the Celtic mother knot with my boys names on the inside of it on the inside of my wrist...I saw someone elses on a site and thought of having something similar. They had their kids names on the outside though and had flowers around the edges which I wouldn't do....
I will look for the picture...

I wouldn't want exact because I wouldn't want to copy someones idea but to give you an idea of what I was talking about....

I like this one but am unsure of the meaning...everyone of them has a specific meaning.....the one above because of the shape is a Mothers Love knot...but this one not sure...just like it..

OH GOSH! Heather I LOVE butterflies... and generally butterfly tattoos look the same to me, but that is BEAUTIFUL!!!

And I LOVE it going up the back like that? Or even up the side of your foot and ankle? (I know, this from a woman with NO tattoos at all) but that is JUST SO PRETTY!!!

OOOOh you make me want to start planning again!!!!

heather6773 · #11 (**permalink**) 06-03-2008, 04:15 AM

I would have this just like hers up the back....I have loved it since I saw it...

Turtleheadfred · #12 (**permalink**) 06-24-2008, 11:15 AM

HEather - have you gotten your tattoo yet?

heather6773 · #13 (**permalink**) 06-25-2008, 05:35 AM

I actaully have one that is being drawn for me right now. It will be across my back. Starting at the top of my left should and going diagonally down towards my right side. It will be 4 flowers. Each representing me,DH and the 2 boys. Mine will a rose(june) DH will be a chrysanthimum(nov) DS1 will be an orchid(dec) and ds2 will be a sweet pea(april) then it will all have green ivy running thru it. I asked her to add a pink breast cancer awareness ribbon near it and she said why don't we weave pink ribbon around tying the flowers together and having them flowing away and down your side. I will post pictures after I get it done.This lady is awesome. We just sat there talking about what I wanted and she just came up with this. I am so excited.

Heather that sounds amazing!

You know I keep toying with the idea - and I like the thought of something across my back (like you said - diagonal is cool... not a "tramp stamp" as they call it) - or the back of my neck going down. But with my hair short in the back (it's in a Pob) it's going to show and I'm not big on everyone seeing and knowing EVERYTHING about me unless I WANT them too!

Hmmmmm

thats why I want it to start on my left shoulder blade and go diagonally down towards the right side...I don't want a tramp stamp either. The tat artist called and I have to stop in and look over her drawing...its DONE....hehehe
