Post pics of your tattoos here!

Yeah and on that note...what's with people who go "oh I want one but I'm too much of a pussy to deal with the pain"....uhm pain?

I guess everything is subjective so I usually tell them to me it wasn't pain - there was a feeling, but calling it pain is giving it WAAAY too much credit.

Getting my eyebrow pierced years ago hurt WAY more even if it was painless after 10 seconds, going to the dentist hurts more, I'd trade 2 hours of tattooing for either of those. And yeah I've had it done "on the bone" which is where people claim it hurts the most - large tattoos on both sides of ribcage.

So my conclusion is a) the pain is a myth b) people exaggerate like hell or c) it honestly hurts some people more than others. A and B are my most likely answers I think.

Thoughts?

My tattoo took one hour and was pretty painful compared to most things I've experienced. When I think back to the aftermath of getting all 4 wisdom teeth out and spending a good 3 or so hours post-surgery not taking pain pills because I was waiting for my mouth to stop bleeding before I took the gauze out so I could swallow anything......that hurt less than the tattoo did. I choose dull ache over sharp sting any day (when comparing it with the same length of time -- 1 hour post-wisdom tooth is better than 1 hour of tattoo).

Mine on my back came down onto my ribs, and each one was between 7 and 9 hours continuous. They were not painful per say...but it wasn't comfy either. The colored one on my arm was easy, uuuuuuntil the next day when the under side of my arm bruised up cause of all the pressure from leaning on the support. I would soooooo rather get a 10 hour tat with no breaks than get a tooth pulled or drilled.

I have 3 tats...have pics of 2 of my 3 on this computer. These 2 have significant meanings...the stars are for myself and my 2 best friends without the 2 of them I wouldnt be whole and the "daddy" is for my father who unexpectedly passed in '07. I didnt really think they hurt, they were not exactly plesant especially on my foot but I would do it again.

Edit: Found a better one of my "daddy" tattoo!! woohoo

I have 3 stars on my hip that I hate and want to get taken off or cover up. :lol:

My first tattoo is on my right ankle. It was my cousins favorite saying and she passed in 02' My second one is done on my left side, it also very meaning full to me. The flower stands for me and it has eight stars around it for very important people in my life that have all passed away. If it wasn't for each one of them touching my life in someway I wouldn't be me.

As far as the pain factor the ankle one was easy. It felt like he was just drawing with a pen. The second one was harder. The flower was just a long time sitting there. All the stars and swirls hurt like heck...they are all either on my ribcage or my hip bone. Ouch!

I agree. Backs are way overlooked as a "part" which can be very admirable and even erotic. We need to start a thread of "beautiful backs." (and no, I don't have a back fetish lol)

[PlayboyMegan]

The one on my neck was my first. It's a fertility symbol. If you look close enough, you can see it's a vagina and fallopian tubes.
My second was a camel on my big toe. I can't find a pic but I have it on video:

it almost looks like a pretty little neck bow!! love it..

this is the only picture i have where you can see my tattoo.. it's an asterisk. Lots of meanings for it, to be honest. Everyone gets all confused, but it's kinda personal. Asterisk = wildcard ~ life is a wildcard, you'll only get yourself down if you don't expect the unexpected..

 

[FrecklesXxX]

Tats on the spine=nerve jolting sensations! My arms were twitching the whole time. I consider tattoos a rite of passage though, and found the whole experience quite pleasurable (yes I am a little pain slut, lol).

I got it when I turned 23 on 5/23. Something finally clicked and I decided it was time to make some serious changes in my life. I drew it & went out and got it done the same day. The image is a fusion of the aum/om symbol (a mantra) and Ganesha, the overcomer of obstacles and lord of beginnings. I am an atheist but recognize that each person has the power to embody their highest ideals. For me the symbolism has deep personal meaning. Elephants are my favorite animal: they're gentle but powerful, loving but protective, wise but humble. It reminds me that there's much more to life than my past and sometimes I just have to step back and realize the importance of balance.

Looking forward to my next work of art, which will also be completely original and of personal significance.

 

[CommonAnomaly]

These are the two I have now. I'm working on the designs for sleeves, but I'm having issues finding a local artist that loves the concept and is comfortable working in UV reactive inks, which will be necessary for parts of it.

These are on my shoulders.

Link's Hylian Shield. Got it January of this year.


Captain America's Shield. Got it October of 2006.

 

[ThePioneer]

I'm in to the upper twenties for my tattoo count. They are mostly large pieces. Here is a crappy picture of my right arm.
