Strength

Batman

The Joker

Also have a griffon on my left arm and Gotham city,with the bat-signal, on the back side of my right forearm which is still being worked on.

Got my newest tattoo today. I think it turned out really good. The color on the legs will tone down to look more like a tan when it heals. Gonna put a Koi on the other side of my forearm. And a Japanese fan around the outside of her head. Trying to stay with a Japanese type theme for my left arm.

Here are mine. I still have a few more to get. I design(ed) all my tattoos

:

First tattoo: zodiac and chinese zodiac

Family crest with an Acadian cross as the hilt of the sword

My namesake

My heritage and nationality

A tribute to my mom who was beaten to death by her partner in 1992. I got this on the 15 year anniversary of her death.

Thinking about getting one. Anyone have any tattoo's?

I've got a few, all have something relevant to my career choice.

I would say if you get one make sure its something that got some meaning to it and not something randomly picked. They also can be addictive!!!

I have/had 2. I've got the UV flames on my left forearm, and I've still got "Fidelitas" on my right wrist, but as it's my saluting arm, I was instructed to get it removed if I ever wanted a future with the Marines. It sucks, as I'm quite attached (Haha, punny). My mom agreed to get it for me 2 Christmases ago, and she even went with me, and watched (I was so proud of her) so I really like it. I've still got the original sketch from when I drew it up, so I'll probably have it re-done somewhere else. Anyways, here's the tattoos.

Lights on

Lights off, UV on.

And here's the one in the process of removal. It's been about a week since my first of 5-6 sessions.

Before

Immediately after (Phone pic)

2 days ago

And right now it looks just like that, but sans blisters.

It's one of 18 UV reactive colors. The others all actually have a color to them, that when healed, simply looks like a faded, or slightly pastel color. but under UV they pop. The one he used for mine is a "white" ink, but truly it's colorless. The only thing you see on my arm is scar tissue, and with most people you can't even see that, but my dad's Cuban, and so I tan and show scars easier than most.

Both of my arms from the elbows up are covered except for a little bit on my left arm, I also ink on my elbows and forearm and legs.

Don Fernando · 11-16-2008, 11:56 PM

one, on my top left arm.

I have quite a few. I have a personal rule about not going below the watch line or above the collar line so I can dress up and be "respectable" when I need to be, but other than that, it's pretty much fair game for me.

A few really mean something to me, and a few were just for fun, but all of them tell a personal story and where I was in my life when I got it done.

Enjoy it, you only get one first!

Then Lucky's advice is perfect. If you choose a location that is easily covered by clothing, you should be fine. Make sure the tattoo means something to you, research your artists to find a talented one, and you shouldn't ever need it removed. I was taking a risk by getting mine on my wrist, and I knew that. Part of me is actually happy that I get to experience something that most don't ever go through. I don't regret the tattoo, or that it has to be removed, and I do intend to get it re-done somewhere else. But the most valuable advice I've seen in this thread is that if you only want one, don't get it. I don't know anybody who has only one tattoo and doesn't want anymore. It is absolutely the most addictive thing I've ever experienced, and most people with tattoos will tell you the same thing.

Best advice I can give, If you do not plan on getting more than just one tat, then don't get any at all. they are addicting.
