I've been thinking about getting a tattoo ever since my cousin did. I guess I'll ask questions now lol:

Do you want tattoos?:

If so, what?:

Where?:

What significance does this have?:
~~~~~
My Answers:

Do you want tattoos?: of course

If so, what?: A Celtic Cross design, maybe a Maori tribal, but definitely the name "Jack".

Where?: The Celtic cross would go on my right calf, I guess the tribal would go on my left bicep (not my face, that's too hardcore for me), and Jack would be on the inside of my right wrist.

What significance does this have?: the cross would just represent my beliefs and my heritage, the tribal would just look awesome, and Jack is my best friend's name.

I want one yes.
I found this lovely design of these gothic flowers but was too chicken to have one done as my nan would have killed me so I had it done in henna, lasted aaaaages and looked really good :) but looked shitty when it started to fade :(

But I had it just above boobs lol and rethinking I wouldn't have it done there again :)

In a sick way I want flames sort of curling from my hip up my side, to remember my sister who died in a fire, was thinking about this yesterday randomly :S also thought it would look rather cool :) Maybe blue flames? but that colour goes weird when u get old lolol >.<

I've always wondered, why do people get their names tattooed on themselves? Do they think they might forget it? Why not just get a T-shirt airbrushed if you want every random stranger you pass to know your name so badly?

Do you want tattoos?: Yeah, I think so.

If so, what?: One of my friends drew up this really pretty butterfly whose wings are made of celtic knots for me and pink and purple colors. It's awesome.

Where?: Not sure yet. Thinking maybe my hip or the middle of my back.

What significance does this have?: It would be a memorial tattoo for my sister Kaley. I miss her so much, and I think it would be a beautiful tribute. She loved butterflies. Her whole bedroom was butterflies, and she always wanted to go to the butterfly gardens.And the celtic knot is the eternity knot, both for my family's heritage and as a way of saying I'll love Kaley forever, and she'll be with me for eternity.

if you were refering to me (above)
my nane isn't bella, and as to why people get their names
its alos good for police if they find your dead body they know who you are so i guess it might be crazy but in a way its helpful

if you were refering to me (above)
I wasn't, I was just asking in general, but it was you that made me think of it.
my nane isn't bella,
But you did say Bella was your nickname, so that's pretty much the same thing.
and as to why people get their names
its alos good for police if they find your dead body they know who you are so i guess it might be crazy but in a way its helpful
Most people carry ID's, and I'm pretty sure most people who get tattoos DON'T get them for police to identify them just in case they die in the street.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you're going to get a tattoo, why not get something more creative than your name? It just doesn't make sense to me. The only reasons I can think of for anyone to get their name tattooed is if they can't think of anything better to get, they have some sort of chronic amnesia and forget their name often, or if they're just really conceitedly proud of their name.

Do you want tattoos?: Sort of. Idk, I like the look of some tattoos but I hate the idea.. but I think I'd get one just for the experience.

If so, what?: Either stars. Or I saw the prettiest flower design the other day on someone.. I think I'd get that.

Where?: Stars - Wrist Flowers - Ankle leading onto foot.

What significance does this have?: Stars ~ My battle with self harm. Flowers ~ Just prettiness :)

I'm interested in getting a tattoo or two, probably on my shoulder or shoulder blade area. I would want it to be a meaningful design, not something that looks cool or tattooing my name onto myself (I don't see why people like to do this). I'm not entirely sure how I want all of it to look but it'd be a combination of some celtic or tribal designs along with the name of my dead dog and possibly a cross with it. That, or a tattoo of a wolf howling up at the sky surrounded with the fancy designs. As for the other tattoo (if I decide for another), it'd also be on the shoulder or shoulder blade area and would also be a very intricate detailed design, possibly similar to the first one but if I don't have any meaningful reason to get it then I'm not going to bother.

Do you want tattoos?: yes, but I'm unsure if I'll go through with it

If so, what?: a heart with wings with my dad's dates & a heart with my wedding date - eternity

Where?: the heart with wings - shoulder blade, other heart - hip

What significance does this have?: the heart with wings & stuff would be in remembrance of my dad, and the other heart would be a token of my undying love for my husband

Do you want tattoos?: Yeah

If so, what?: I want several, something that represents strength, a butterfly, a guitar, flowers... the list kinda goes on.

Where?: my wrist/arm/back

What significance does this have?: the thing to represent strenght would be something to show that whatever life threw at me, I got through it somehow. the butterfly would kinda be a freedom thing, the guitar would be my love of listening to music, rock in particular. and the flowers.. i'm not sure.

I might get one when I'm older. I could get the Wigan Athletic badge (see left)?

I'd never have the name of a bf or gf. I'm just too superstitious.

Getting something done that is irreversible (unless you pay wads of cash) is asking for trouble.

Do you want tattoos?: I already have one on my ankle, which I intend to add to. I do want more, though.

If so, what?: I'm working on a "tribal" design which would be along my left-hand side of my ribs and down towards my hip, but that would take a LOT of thought before I'd go through with it. It would be such a big piece, I'd have to really think about it.
I've also considered a small yin-yang or "eye of the dragon" (leaning towards that one, personally) behind one ear, and I plan to get something small written on my spine, going down from the nape of my neck. It'd be a few inches long. Christy knows what I want it to say, no one else really needs to.

Where?: *see above*

What significance does this have?: The one on my ankle represents my closest friends and loved ones. It's styled like a charm bracelet, with two charms so far. One is a knotwork heart representing undying love, and the other is a butterfly in memory of my sister. I plan to add charms for each of my parents, my best friend, and for Christy.
The tribal design is less "meaningful", and has more to do with accentuating body shape and having the design be something that really flows with the rest of my body. More of a cosmetic thing than anything else, which is part of why I'd have to think long and hard about whether I'd want to make it permanent.
The eye of the dragon is a triangular shape which represents a balance between power, wisdom and love. Drawn with the point facing down, as I would intend to have it, is used to invoke power rather to send it forth, and would be a reminder of my faith as well as a sort of talisman. Every time I see it, I'd be reminded of what it means to me, and would remember to keep balance in my life.
The writing on my spine is between Christy and I.

Do you want tattoos?: No.

If so, what?: n/a

Where?: n/a

What significance does this have?: n/a

No offense but I find tattoos to be trashy (unless they're small and cute) and if they're big/detailed/bold they can make a person look anything but classy. I'll never get one. I'll keep my body how it is, thanks.

I want a lot of tatoos. My body is a canvas, I write, draw, and get other people to write and draw on myself.

I already have two.

My first one is on my shoulder/bicep. I thought about it for 4 years and designed it myself. It is dedicated to "moonlight" sonata, because that is the first piano piece I mastered, so it has special meaning. I got that in August 2008.

I just got my second one this week. It was a spur of the moment type thing. I got it on my calf and it is a cross surrounded by tribal wings.

Do you want tattoos?: yes.

If so, what?: (1) I'd really like a tattoo of "the thorn"- it's a symbol from one of the cheesy halloween movies. I wanna get it on my left wrist
(2) A tattoo of an eye at the bottom of my right waist. I draw it allot on me. I don't know why.
Where?: Wrist and waist

What significance does this have?: the first tattoo, it's because it makes me think of my unclese who are the greatest people of my life, and it's a type of connection i want.
