I got a spot 29 April in Little Rock (only about a 3 hour drive)! All I know is I'm getting a tiger :)

Here are two tigers I got recently. I couldn't decide which I liked best, so I got them both :)

I love this thread so much that this is my first post (after my obligatory intro post of course).

Although I've had a few tattoos for many years, just this year I have gotten a floral chest piece (across my collar bone from shoulder to shoulder), an ambigram on my lower leg, a tiger on my thigh, another tiger on my upper arm, have a half-sleeve being designed for the other arm, and starting on a lower back to upper thigh monstrosity this weekend. So, in short, I have become obsessed.

And now as a direct result, I believe, at 44 years old I have become so much more comfortable in my skin that I bought four sundresses yesterday for the express purpose of being able to show off my art. I previously owned zero dresses or skirts (I even wear pants with my dress uniform instead of the skirt!). My husband, of course, loves this development, but it really about ME. I don't know exactly why, but showing ink instead of bare skin makes me MORE confident instead of less.

I got my first tattoo almost 20 years ago and added more sporadically over the years, but I have become obsessed this past year and have probably more than tripled the amount of skin I have decorated since January (yes, my artist loves me!).

I'm here to get ideas on what I might like in the future and just to "hang out" with other tattooed people.
