@Vin53 im so sorry for your loss. I lost a son and a daughter its why i have the angel with the tombstone i couldn't bring myself to put their names on it. But i decided that when i do it will be the last tat i ever get.

Have four of them. My dad’s writing, a drawing he did, a word in remembrance of my mom, and a dara knot celtic tree below the back of my neck. I often forget the two I have on my back even exist because I never see them, but the other two are in full view enough for them to remind me of their coolness.

@PerfectionOfTheHeart thank you! Those sound really cool and im glad im not the only one who forgot their back tat 😅 🤣🤣🤣

Tattoos are not for me, but each there own. 🤷‍♂

I don't need tattoos, I have scars; they all have a much better story than any tattoo could provide...

SomeMichGuy · M

Don't want them, don't have them, but have seen some which are amazing.

@AngelUnforgiven Wow...

Of course they ALL have meaning, but those two are personal & intimate in a very particularly special way...

Thank you for sharing those.

What was your first?

AngelUnforgiven · 46-50, F

@SomeMichGuy a butterfly its about the size of a quarter i didnt want to go too big my very 1st time because i wasnt sure if it would hurt. The only one that hurted was the one on my thigh its large almost from hip to knee of a bird sitting on a tree branch with the leaves and feathers i was like dang its a lot i didnt think it through with all the details in it. But it was worth it.

SomeMichGuy · M

@AngelUnforgiven I think you tested the waters in a very wise fashion! Where was the butterfly and DID it hurt a bit, not as much as you'd thought, ...?

I am saving up for at least one, probably two depending on how well it goes.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow wow that sounds absolutely amazing and beautiful. I hope that you get exactly what your looking for.

@AngelUnforgiven

Thank you. I plan on going to see a very good friend of mine that I have known for 20 years. We have been friends since before she became a tattoo artist.

I trust her absolutely with this.

AngelUnforgiven · 46-50, F

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow thats awesome! I hope that you guys have an amazing time catching up!

I have them, but I got my first at a time when they were not popular, especially on women. So I have a total of four, discreetly placed, where they can be covered by clothing (my parents didn’t know about them for years). And they are symbolic to me with meanings unlikely to change in my lifetime, no personal names. I plan to get a last one, a small sunflower, to honor my mother, whom I lost last year. 🥺

I want to - but I'm scared of something going wrong. I had piercings I had to remove because they got infected. You can't remove a tattoo that easily.

I almost got one....same as you - child's name, during a tough time for him.

AngelUnforgiven · 46-50, F

@fun4us2b what made you decide not to get it?

fun4us2b · M

@AngelUnforgiven I was about to and then decided to wait 24 hours and then the next day the will to do it sort of faded...so maybe it was an impulse more than a real desire for me?
