What made you get a tat?

[Myka99 42]

I have 8 tatts.....and love them.....my first one was the name of my so, along with the blue fairy as I have always told him I wished for him and the blue fairy brought him to me as Gepetto had wished for Pinocchio to be a real boy.....that was his fave movie as a very young child. Then after I got one in memory of my brother who has passed as well as my grandmother....I also just have a few cause I like them and they mean something to me....my last one was about 2 years ago....I do have the urge to get another and I will but nothing to the point of it speaks to me.....I do not look at it as a way the government can ID me....it is more of a story of me......I find it also therapeutic in the way that sometime the pain of getting one helps you heal....my last one was on the inside of my calf and it was a doozy.....it was my worst one yet.....but it is beautiful. Your either a tat person or not.....

I have 10. I'm working on my sleeve. I enjoy ink. It's a great way to show an artistic side. I've done my sleeve a little different, I had them all in a henna color outline instead of black..I have a coy going upstream, a lotus( in color blue and lilac) a heart, a skull with rose n bird( my fav) and recently got a dagger , with highlighted yellow roses for my trip to TEXAS, which, I didn't need n extra seat, or extender belt! To each is own with ink, but I love it, shows the talent out there and it's a great accessory.

I decided to do something really different that I'd thought about doing for a while but never did when I reached goal, so I got a tattoo. It's a reminder of the determination needed to succeed.

I'm in the process of getting my first one at 55 years old. It signifies my WL journey. From "ugly duckling" to "beautiful swan". Even though I never thought of myself as an ugly duckling....

I got my first at 18. It's my sorority letters on my inner ankle. I was only a pledge and as pledges, we were forbidden to wear letters. WHOOOOOOOOPS! I've always been a rebel. Almost didn't get initiated over that one and to whomever says hazing isn't real? HA!! You're right...

My second is a little butterfly on the top of my foot. It's a cutsie little nothing.

My third is a sparrow that goes along the side of my left foot. It's just for decoration.

My next will be a little lemon behind my left ear. You know the guy from the lemon head candies? It will go there to symbolize the lemon sized brain tumor I had evacuated a few years back. I've not done it yet because vibrations still make my metal plates rattle my brain a bit.

Should we talk piercings next? I've got a lot of those!

In principle, i have wanted a tat for decades. I still don't have one because i have yet to find something that I want permanently stamped on my body. some tats are very cool, but alot of them aren't that great - it is hard to find a wonderful artist.

Anyway, at this point, I am staying tat free!

I'm with you. But I am seriously thinking about the Roman numerals of starting and goal weight, something small on the inside of my upper bicep. CCCV/CXC. Be nice to see for motivation at the gym. I'll let you all know it if I do it.

When I was a kid, my grandparents had a picture of a wolf standing above a town looking down. I made up many a story about that wolf. I now have my own with blue eyes, I named her and she always watches my back. I have wanted one since I was 18 but it took till I was 43 when I finally decided on it.

My oldest sister found us 4 years ago and we all decided a couple of years ago to get matching tattoos so I have the trinity symbol on my ankle.

I would not change either one. I am not planning on another but you never know. I personally love ink as an art form, I figure to each his/her own.
