What are they and where are they? it's my surname in hebrew, in a star, with 3 myrtles. Myrtles represent marriage and also morning. I have 1 Myrtle for my DH, and then I have 1 for my great grandmother, and one for my grandfather.
How long have you had them? I had the first part done in Aug of '08, and then November of '08
Regret them? Or happy with them? LOVE them. I forget about it, its on my lower back, so sometimes I see it in the mirror and go, oh ya I have a tattoo
Plans for more? No... I don't think so.
How many tattoos do you have? One
What are they and where are they? It's the VIrgo zodiac symbol, kinda like the one here and it's located low on my right pelvic bone.
How long have you had them? Since I was 18 I think...
Regret them? Or happy with them? Totally happy with it - although I'm hoping when I get pregnant that I carry high so it doesn't stretch out...
Plans for more? They are super addicting. I'd love more, but I don't know if I will. This sucker took five minutes but hurt like a mother f'er.
How many tattoos do you have? 2
What are they and where are they? 1 on my lower back (that is NOT a tramp stamp thank.you.very.much) that is a track shoe with wings and a music note that the note is a star- Track shoe for my athletics and always remembering what a big role they have played (I was a college polevaulter) the music note with a star is for my mom who I am very close with
1 on my left shoulder blade- it is a Cross with a heart in the middle and 7 stars around the outside with sun rays coming from behind- Because of my love for Jesus and His love for me, 7 is the number of completion and He is the light in my life
How long have you had them? the one on my low back for 8 years the one on my shoulder blade for 4
Regret them? Or happy with them? I am happy with them, though looking back I don't know that I would have done it a second time around but they are special to me
Plans for more? nope
How many tattoos do you have? one
What are they and where are they? the Miss America crown in the inside of my left ankle
How long have you had them? 10 years
Regret them? Or happy with them? I like having a tattoo, and would do more, I just regret the size (it's just a tad too big) and the quality-- the guy took the internet picture, photocopied it and slapped it on my leg. After watching Miami/LA Ink, I realize I should have gone to a better place and had them draw it out. But, I was 18 and anxious to rebel!!
Plans for more? I'd love to do a old-school sailor style Mermaid wrapping around my hip, but DH isn't too keen on it. We'll see..
Any reason why? I like it, sounds cool

How many tattoos do you have?
5 right now... not enough :-)
What are they and where are they?
My first one is a lizard on my back (just turned 18 haha), I guess up on my left sholder blade. The 2nd one is a cross which says "In memory of Mike" on my right ankle... (my best friend was in a car accident senior year in highschool) (I was almost 19), my third is an infinity symbol right on the bottom of my left leg but just on top of foot.My husband and I both have these. I got this when I was 26. My 4th I got 2 days after my third and it is a cross with a tribal-ey design off th sides of it with 07-16-05 under neath it. That is the day my mom passed away. My most recent tattoo is a shamrock and then thin leaves coming off of it and I got that right on my right foot.
How long have you had them?
I started at 18 and just got my most recent one a month ago :-)
Regret them? Or happy with them?
Love them. Though, my cross I wish had been done better. It's starting to "spider" out so the lines dont look very smooth anymore. The guy who did it sssssuuuuccckkkkeeeeddd.... I am hoping I can get it fixed maybe? Otherwise, I'll have it removed some point.
Plans for more
Absolutely. I hae this back piece I want done, but the only guy i'll go to for tattoos now is in NY sooooo.... it'll be a few sessions and trips east to get it one...
Ugh, I am the only one without one!
Click Me
Shannon and I can bring you to get one :-) I love love love going! I want another one on my other foot! Hmmmm
I want one, just don't know of what and where. lol. Thought about my sign but my friend got hers and we have the same sign. Maybe I should get the scorpion instead.

How many tattoos do you have: 1
What are they & where are they? When I was 8, my dad came home from Brooklyn with 1 on his arm & ever since then I wanted 1 of my own. I drew one up & through time, it evolved. It is my own original design of a treble clef with a yellow rose, bleeding leaf, & stem that turns into barb wire. It's on my left shoulder blade. Everything in it has significant meaning.
How long have you had them? Got it at 19, on February 15th 2005. (My dad & I went together & I picked a dream catcher one out for him for his right shoulder blade & personalized it).
Regret them? Or happy with them? Absolutely happy! Whenever I see it in photos, putting on lotion, or in the mirror... I smile. I think about what it represents & the fact that I wanted it for such a long time & was able to share the moment with my dad, the one who inspired me with them when I was 8.
Plans for more? Sometimes I think about getting another one, but... there is just so much wrapped up & involved with the one I have now, that I severely doubt I would be able to draw up something else, at this point in my life. We'll have to wait & see...

Plans for more? I planned on getting one for my birthday last year but my parents were so against it. DH wasn't to keen on me getting inked but he said it's my body, my decision (smart man) well while we were in Vegas for my brothers wedding my mom bribed me with a pair of shoes i fell for but couldn't afford.
so basically i sold out for a pair of shoes. I'm not aloud to get a tattoo or my shoes will burn while i have to watch (so mean) and yes at the moment i realized i was indeed a shoe whore
OMG, you crack me up. But at least I am not the only one!
Click Me
lol, we are the same
How many tattoos do you have? Three.
What are they and where are they? I have a heart design on my right lower back, the chinese symbol for "freedom" on my wrist and a small star on my left foot.
How long have you had them? I got them when I was 18, 19 and 20, I think.
Regret them? Or happy with them? I'm happy with them. I especially love the "freedom" tattoo because it represents freedom of speech through writing (I was a journalist for several years).
Plans for more? No immediate plans, although I haven't ruled out more. Any future tattoos would be easily hidden and have lots of meaning, though (like my child's name or something).
No, I don't have one either! And I don't think I ever want one.
don't have one either. sometimes i want one soooo badly but then i'm like nooo it will hurt. plus, i heard if you have a tat you can't donate blood...
How many tattoos do you have? One
What are they and where are they? A frog, on my left big toe
How long have you had them? Since I was 20, I think. So 13 years. Yikes. I'm old.
Regret them? Or happy with them? Happy with it.
Plans for more? Probably not. I've toyed with the idea a few times, but haven't thought of anything that I would love enough to have on me for eternity. Maybe when I have kids I'll feel different. We'll see.
This is another reason why I dont get one but that is not entirely true. You can still donate but you have to wait a full year before you can again.
Do you donate? Me too, I love it. I go with my Dad to do it
Click Me
i have donated. and my mom is recovering from a (not cancer) brain tumor surg sooo that also makes me want to be an organ donor too.
How many tattoos do you have? 3
What are they and where are they? The first one i got is the claddagh symbol on my right hip/back area, the second is an Arizona sunset scene on my right back/shoulder, and the third is my daughters footprint from when she was born in pink on my left foot
How long have you had them? All within the last 2 years
Regret them? Or happy with them? love love love all of them
Plans for more? yesss. They are so addicting. Next one I want is three big Lillys going down my side/ribs and I also want some lyrics from a song my dad wrote somewhere, maybe on my other ribs for my upper arm
The Life of the E Family
I don't have one either

Plans for more? CJ and I have talked about getting matching ones after we get married but nothing to concrete, i am not against them at all, for me i would just want it to have speacial meaning.
How many tattoos do you have? 3, technically 5...
What are they and where are they? The "2" I dont count at very small and on my ankle, me, my sister and bff at the time all got matching tattoo's I was only 15-16, so my sis was like 13-14... A friend did them with indian ink and a scaple. Eeeep! I dont really regret them, they are small and make me laugh about how dumb I was as a kid. The other 3 are all asian...I have 2 japanes symbols on my back and a rather large asian "Scene" that ties everything together, a couple koi fish and some cherry blossoms.
How long have you had them? 16 years!
Regret them? Or happy with them? See above, no regrets.
Plans for more? I am trying to talk DH into getting matching Sea Horse tattoo's because they mate for life!
