Post your tattoo blog!Submitted by Catmama on Sat, 08/23/2008 - 3:09pm.
anyone feel like posting your pics? I hear there is a tattoo of a calico goldfish on someones behind?? okay, completely shallow comment, but DAMN do we have some hot mamas here! i started going down the thread to comment on tats and realized i'd be commenting on pretty much all of them. thank you mamas for the inspiration! all of you have such beautiful work! "Bombing for peace is like fucking for virginity." without showing your buns gorgeous tattoos ladies IMNSHO Lapina has the coolest I have ever seen. Hopefully she'll post so you can see my star on my arm, 'trust' my skull & crossbones and my squid~ I need to have some of my color fixed cause i got too much sun or fell when I was healing but I am pretty happy with my tattoos. Only exception is the moon & stars on my hip. One day I well cover that sucker up closing her eyes she imagines the stars dripping in silver touching her shoulders with warmth and settling in a sprinkled blanket marking her very skin in their image
these posts!
heck yes! 30 pack sounds like a good night to this girl! "If nothing else, life in the suburbs promised that you might go from day to day without finding shit in our hair." ~ David Sedaris I remember meeting you in person and thinking how original and beautiful of an idea it was and how beautiful your tats looked. I have yet to read the book, which is odd because I've owned a vintage copy for about 20 years (I think I *borrowed it from my man's sister come to think of it?) You can see my star here, on my right arm. I'd love to get some more work on this arm and get this started into a bit of a sleeve but not sure what I'd like to put around it. And dh's star on his left. These were kind of our engagement rings in a way. And wow he looks a lot different than he did a few years ago in that above pic! And of course the one I got last year that huck designed, me and my kids. We're thinking for Z, not knowing if he'll stay or not but still wanting to include him, he'll be something a little different. Perhaps a pinwheel in little girl's hand. Another wow, this is when the tattoo was like a day old, the colors are so intense! I really need tatoo help. I posted these in hopes that someone out there knows what to do with these. This past winter I finally decided I cannot live with these as they are - I need to do something. But what? I'm willing to expand/cover up etc.. but it's gonna take a ton of work I fear. In case any of you are artists (huck?) I like hindu, greek and norse mythology . . .and of course birds.
tat artists who are really good with cover ups. Cover ups in themselves are a whole separate specialty. What I would suggest is finding one, meeting with him/her and if their portfolio proves (before and after photos) them worthy I would leave a deposit and have them start drawing up a sketch. The problem is, where in the pine tree state am I gonna find anyone! The guy who did my raven (10 years ago) was the best artist in Maine at the time. Eeek!!! come down our way into southern NH-- we've got tattoo places scattered around like dunkin' donuts!! i think tattoo and piercing art is still illegal in MA so there are a *ton* of tattoo artists just over the border in NH. i bet you could find someone who specializes in in cover-ups, no problem. and if wildraven wants to hike this far, I could connect you with my artist if you want to turn one into a big piece. there a few good ones scattered throughout the state - I could look into it for you. Check out my daily photo journal: I wish I could remember exactly where but there is a tattoo shop in or very near booth bay harbor, near the resale/thrift shop. We passed it a bunch of times. I didn't get a chance to stop in but I meant to because I'm getting inked soon. But a young lady working at one of the lobster places had very nice high quality tattoos and she told me that's where she got hers done. my mama blog Nothing came up for booth bay so it could be the place is very new, but this page came up with links to some other places in Maine: http://www.everytattoo.com/maine.shtml There's this place in Portland: Oooooh this place does piercing and tatoos: but yeah, a bunch of places up and down Maine came up when I googled 'booth bay harbor tattoos'. Hope you find somebody! my mama blog This is good research! I think I've been putting it off because I really want to find someone (local?) and good - good technique and good artwork. If I have to go to Boston it might take a few YEARS!
Found the words inscribed in a piece of 14th century jewelry.
embroidery scissors with a spool of thread. The thread says "armor" on the label and my best friend has the same tat.
dragonfly-lady-griffin. based on a piece of jewelery made for sarah bernhardt in the late 19th century. I have three others but am too lazy to photo/post them. also I don't own a digital camera so these are crappy cell phone pictures. "revolution is not a one time event" Audre Lorde good pics. I like it... Check out my daily photo journal: Love the embroidery scissors and thread, great idea. BleuRoo Handcrafted Sweetness ... still needs color. I keep going back and forth on wanting it and not but I think I am going to go for it.
but my daughter's name (Noa) is hebrew and i think it looks so beautiful written out in hebrew characters.... i want to get it inked on the inside of my wrist soon if i can afford it. here's what it'll look like:
Of course you are aware in the Torah you are not allowed to tattoo ones body (even pierce for that matter) we're not actually jewish! but now i'm wondering, would it be considered disrespectful for me to get that tat?? my MiL is a very observant jew and she has a tattoo, she just has to get it removed before she can be buried in a jewish cemetery. i also have several jewish in-laws who have hebrew tats. so, there ya go. *devotion* to the faith. You know you won't see any tats walking down La Brea and 3rd. Getting her tat removed before burial? She knows when she's dying? WOW. we're friends with an orthodox couple, they live in the labrea district, and are sporting tats of their children's names in hebrew under their wig & tzitzis. you'd never know it, but they're there. as far as my MIL's tat removal goes, she says you can pre-arrange for the undertaker to do it just before your burial. no embalming, no nails in the coffin, but tat removal for sure. all that for a stupid yin-yang symbol! Seeing how it's a distinct religion that forbids tats.....I'm not sure? Hitler managed to comepletely fuck with them by tattooing that's for sure. At the same time many people have chinese, latin, Indian,......words and meanings on their bodies. ??
I also have a small blue flower on my ankle, but no pic. BleuRoo Handcrafted Sweetness the simplicity of it my mama blog Thanks mama, me too BleuRoo Handcrafted Sweetness |
I do have one on my buns, no goldfish. It's cheer bear actually and she's awesome. hey look you can see my laundry, didn't want to leave it outside overnight.
from 13 years ago...
and my psych healing exercise from my abdominal laparotomy for the unilateral oopherectomy (plus tumor) and appendectomy.
Most people don't really "get" this one....
