Hello all! I'm new here! I'm from Canada (where it is currently freezing cold...). I stumbled across LST while looking for some tips on future tattoos and decided to join! I was bitten by the tattoo bug recently, July 2012 when I got my first piece done. Its a collaboration of things that represent my son (first born). I have a strong fear of needles and pain, but it really wasn't that bad and now I already have ideas for my next 3 tattoos.

Like a mentioned, my first tattoo represents my son. He was born at night, during the year of the rabbit, his birthstone is 'ruby' (the 'red' in the flower) and my personal favorite flower is the Lotus. July's birth flower is the water lily

I was very nervous but my tattooer made me very comfortable, to the point where his assistant thought i had fallen asleep. The most painful was the flower, which was the last part. He let me get up just before that to see it so far and use the bathroom, it made me very happy and helped me get through that last little bit (and want more lol) - he originally quoted me on 5-6 hours because of the van gogh sky but it was completed in 3 hours. I'll be going back to him to get my next few done!

The next 3 tattoos I would like are: on the inside of my arms, just below the wrist, on one side a red-breasted robin with flowers around it flying. On the other a cage with an open door and dead flowers around it. One of my favorite quotes has always been 'A red-breasted robin in a cage puts all Heaven in a rage' and to me, I feel this tattoo would represent it

The next is an infinity symbol on the back of my neck with the words 'Ohana means Family and Family means no one gets left behind' in the loop.

Lastly, just below that is two hummingbirds back to back with long winding tails that entwine in the leaves of a lotus. With symbols for 'Love, Family, Harmony' between the birds, and my last name Shea just below that.

Oops! That was a mistake. I meant to link to my tattoo, then I saw where I can insert from my gallery...forgot to remove the attachment. I obviously attached the wrong thing x.X

Now that we have established you are not a robot from spam land...

Welcome!

I encourage you to look around at some of the quality work on this site. There are an infinite number of designs and are a lot of good tattooers out there. Where abouts do you live? Maybe we can recommend some good tattooers. Also, I couldn't help but notice that all of your ideas have a personal meaning. I think getting tattoos for personal meaning is great and it is how most people approach tattoos. I would encourage you to consider getting tattoos that you just like the image or design or artist doing it. There is a whole lot out in the trattoo world. Hopefully we can help you get some good tattoos!

Brock - Not from Spamland - I live in a town close to Edmonton. The tattooer that did my first, and current, tattoo is a local named Steve Cunningham. I've been looking at different artists though, in Edmonton mainly. A place called Dragon FX seems to be a popular place but its a bit of a pain being just under 2 hours away.

Rocket - Thank you for the welcome! How many tattoos do you have/where/what? haha

Don't let a long drive be an obstacle to getting good tattoos. I drive three hours each way to get work done.

This is solid advice. A tattoo is one of the only things that is with you forever. Take the time and care to get exactly what you want, regardless of travel or cost. I waiting 8 months and drove 12 hours to start a piece that i wanted. You can do the same easily.

      If you have ever worked as a tattoo artist, piercer, or any type of skin artist it's extremely important you contact the HubSpot corporation, and Certified Tattoo Studio, a HubSpot customer. Modern Driven Media's (a HubSpot partner) CEO Shana Steigerwalt, was hired by the owner of CertifedTattooStudio, Nando Mondragon, to collect the personal data of everyone that could be found by hacker's on the black market. Ms. Steigerwalt bought the data from hackers, with the number of individuals' data collected totaling more than one million people globally. You on this board almost certainly all had your data purchased illegally from hackers on the black market. CTS would pay MDM for this service, in violation of numerous state and federal laws, then would launder the money through their business accounts in violation of federal money laundering laws. HubSpot, and CTS, are required by law to inform you if they are storing your data, and how they got your data (in this case through multiple felonies). You have a claim (can file suit) against MDM, CTS, and the owners of both companies. If you discover your data was illegally collected and being housed by CTS, you should contact your local district attorney and a private attorney immediately. Numerous states have their own state statutes regarding data privacy and detail additional state level legal action you can take as a victim, and you are a victim of a crime. Numerous investigations are currently underway, but can take time to prosecute. In the meantime contact HubSpot and demand Modern Driven Media immediately be banned from the software platform for violating their contact, the law and your rights. The tattoo industry was intentionally targeted during this criminal enterprise that spanned most of 2022. Regardless if your data, your rights, were violated, contact HubSpot and express your outrage at one of their partners intentionally targeting your industry as a victim. Demand MDM be immediately banned. HubSpot: "One of the quickest ways to get in touch with us is to call our support line directly. The main number is easy to remember: 1-888-HUBSPOT ext. 3 (1-888-482-7768 ext. 3)." Hubspot.com Certified Tattoo Studio: certifiedtatoo.com West Colfax (720) 287-3866 East Colfax (720) 440-9974 The Yale (720) 667-4745 Weber (719) 375-0340 Drennan (720) 653-7267 Rising Tide (808) 723-0716
