TrixieFaux Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Hi, I've posted a couple of times on other threads but here's my initiation post... I'm a 42 y.o. wife, mother of a rambunctious little three year old, and inner city kindergarten teacher. Even though I am now a regular old tax paying, contributing member of society I still feel a connection w/the teenage punk rocker that I once was. Having tattoos helps me maintain that part of my identity... I think. Either that or I just like 'em. I got my first tattoo in 1992 and my fifth one last month. I will most likely get more. I'm learning a lot here. One bummer was reading that tattoo artists hate tattooing owls because apparently there is an owl trend among hipsters of late? One of the two tattoos I got last month is of an owl. Being a working mom, I don't go to shows any more and don't run into many hipsters so I didn't know of this trend. But I have always loved owls and as a teacher thought it would make a nice symbol for the love of my profession. Oh well. I love my barn owl tattoo and would have still wanted it had I known.

David Flores Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Owls are pretty interesting predators, plus I think it takes more than an owl tattoo to be a hipster. (at least I hope so, although mine is wearing a derby with a monocle so it might be too late to save me). Welcome to the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockelMan Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I don't think of my self as a hipster at all. I also have an Owl tattoo because Owls are so interesting. I have a bunch of photos I have taken and have seen sightings that I wish I had my camera to take a photo. Welcome to the forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the warm welcomes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lochlan Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 ahhh yes, i remember the picture and purple panther now, thanks for reposting. While in LA recently I learned the purple panther is where some of my favorite tattooers got their starts there after apprenticeships....heard some good stories. I had never seen the shop nor heard of it and have driven by it god knows how many times until my friend pointed it out and told me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
