Wow, Amok. I can’t even think of 23 family members I want near me at the same time, much less ON me.

I actually enjoy the aftercare process. I enjoy wound care as a nurse and I love to see the process of something healing.

I enjoy how they compliment my personality: Beauty and art and culture-loving, nerdy.

I enjoy how sometimes they have a function: Like the upcoming one to cover my tumor scar with something lovely.

I love how they remind…[Read more]

Very cool and very original!

Well – I am by no means tiny. But my biggest tattoo is my peacock and it is totally hidden, except in swimsuit weather or shorts. He starts on my lower ribs and goes down my side to just above my knee. It took over 25 hours total, done in nine months of monthly appointments. Then I swore I was DONE. Addiction sated.…

I’m about six hours east and north of you! Welcome!

I’m one of those women who always has a mouthful to spit out, but all I can say is: Wow! Gorgeous!

Lucky! Can’t wait to see the pictures.

Welcome! I have three as well. 🙂

Super pretty! I think kind of a Black Forest theme combined with Japanese elements could look cool as a sleeve.

Congrats, looks nice 🙂

I like the LotR script under it 🙂

Thank you! That was my second tattoo ever, and the rose seems to compliment it.

Good news! He’ll email me with ideas when he gets a chance. We’re on our way.

Pink rose. I remember as a small lad my uncle’s roses in Bellmore, Long Island. The fragrence was amazing. I buy my wife fragrences very similar to those. I will lie down between her..
Sorry, I have to go.

I always have loved roses. 🙂 Lovely story, Sam.

Emailed him twice. Guess I’ll have to call again. I think they might be slipping into junk mail.

ETA: It’s healing beautifully, as seen. Just called him and he’s going to email me back ideas on the big piece. Yay!

Lol…how do you think I should fix it?

Well, I’m with Sam. Your best bet is probably going to be a laser, and start over. Also wondering f it couldn’t be worked into a huge tiger, but not sure you want such a large tattoo.

It’s cute for someone who doesn’t plan on a ton of work. It reminds me of something you’d see on an elementary school teacher.

By the right person, this is more than fixable. 🙂

Could you post a close up of this?

The more I look at it, the more I love it and feel excited about my first “big” tattoo.

Thank you very much 🙂 I guess I would just say I have a basic idea of how I see myself but I tend to just go with the flow but I know that if I get work done that will represent important events or people in my life then I will not have to worry about any regrets. Thank you again I try 🙂

A lot of tattooed people hear…[Read more]

That is a lovely tattoo.

As some folks on here know, I’m a pediatric nurse. I think this would be a great example to show grieving parents special ways if they ask how others have grieved losses in non-traditional ways. This is beautifully done and a lovely way never to forget.
