I swear we already had a thread about tattoos but I couldn't find it so I am making a new one!

I'm thinking about getting this on the inside of my left ankle, but probably without the stars:

What is the general opinion?

What would you get?

My boyfriend and I are going to get tattoos at the same time, and he's thinking of getting a picture of the Enterprise (that's the Star Trek ship for the non-geeks) behind his ear!

I presume you are getting the image all black? I think its great! Because it represents something to you, which in my opinion is the best tattoo.

I have never come up with something I really want to live with. One of my recurring ideas is an old irish megolithic symbol, but it is also used in the irish tourist board symbol, so I would maybe add some Icelandic rune symbol to the design to make it a little more unique.. I don't know, maybe I will end up never getting one haha
I also don't know where to get it placed?

I like tattoos, I want a third one!

I have a black heart at the base of my spine because I love the image I chose.

I have a black and purple gothic butterfly (see my facebook) at the top of my back - it symbolises the transformation in my life over the past year or so, going from a shitty to job to the best job in the world, and how everything else has just slotted into place because I'm a lot happier.

I want something to represent my kids, they both have the same initials, but I'm yet to find the perfect design for them. It's a high standard to reach.

The Musey one is excellent, Ham.

If you get it, use Bepanthen nappy cream on it afterwards when it's healing.

I agree on getting the right design, because once it's on, that's it!

Ooh thanks for the tip. I have decided that I am going to get it done next week! Eeeeeek. I had a look at your butterfly one on fb Ali, it's really lovely.

Also RE: Karen, yes it will be all black. I think it'll be quite nice that way even when it starts to fade. The megalithic symbol you mean - is it the one that is like three spirals? If so that would be a great tattoo, but I see what you mean about personalising it somehow.

I am sooo nervous!

well I can't see the pic you posted Hannah for some reason (stupid computer), maybe it'll work tomorrow though, who knows.

I agree with Ali, a tattoo is something you need to think of (obviously). Yeah, when it's done, it's done!

I have two, personally, both related to Chad.
When he was alive, we'd already decided to get matching tattoos - one of us would get "Superheroes" and the other "united". Well if you don't know about our story/the book it doesn't mean anything, but it means a lot to me.

A couple of months after his death, my friends surprised me with a "global gift" from everyone - ie a tattoo of my choice. I had a salamander done on my lower back, it was something I'd discussed with Chad too.. that was one year after his death.

Last september (two years anniversary) I got another one, arab writings on my left forearm (inside), stuff that means "goodbye is not forever", which is the last thing he said to me.

It's funny (in a way) because I had it done in September and it was covered up most of the time until a couple of months ago, when the weather got nicer, and lots of people have been asking me about it. To my close friends I explain, to others, I just say it's a personal thing. But that's one thing you have to think about - people will ask you about your tat...

This year I may get a tat on my left foot. Not sure yet...
