You know, I've been wanting to get that Sailor Jerry skull and crossbones/heart tattoo for a while now. After seeing how cool it looks on you I just might have to now, as if I didn't have enough skulls already 

DO IT!

Here are several of my American traditional tattoos. All by Joshua Henderson, except for the monkey with the skull. That one is Richard Stell. (Sorry I didn't crop out the non-AT tattoos.)

Welcome!

Missed skulls, so I'll enter this month for fun (not a chance of winning with @Gingerninja's back in the competition!). It's by Joshua Henderson, Brainstorm Tattoos, 2014.

I just remembered I have lyrics from two John Lennon songs and lyrics on a banner on my Amy Winehouse tattoo as well. DUH.

Snake has now become a raven. 7hrs today - the collarbone stuff was a stinger for sure. Talking of which, done by Guerra Stinger of Extreme Tattoo, Inverness. Another couple of hours to come adding some colourful flowers and more leaves. I like it! Now need shower and bed...

NICE! Looking great, @Makar.

Pretty common theme. Just go to a good artist, and he'll draw something up for you.

Welcome.

Gian should have won of the final two. Sorry, but a big fat NO to Ryan. I liked Kelly most of the time, and I think she is very talented, but the whole women's alliance was deeply stupid. You are either good or you aren't. Woman schmoman. And I say this as a woman. Naw. Just tattoo and stop talking about your gender.

Love it, Emily. Welcome!

Feathers McGraw, baby! I LOVE Wallace and Gromit. I hadn't thought about them in years!! @oboogie Where did that idea come from?!?

Yay! I knew you'd know. We were watching an Aardman Animation documentary the other night, and it just occurred to me it would be hilarious. I called my artist, and he was also familiar with W+G, too, and he thought it was funny. He didn't charge me much at all and said, "Happy birthday!" (It was my birthday last weekend.)

I think you are over-generalizing the perceptions of people in academia. I am a college president - got my first two tattoos within this past year. I have a great number of staff and faculty who sport tattoos, some visible and some covered. I've not seen any negative reaction to either males of females who have tattoos around my college. Granted, there can be an elitist snobbery at work in some institutions, especially among older members of the community who were raised when tattoos were not as prevalent or accepted, but that seems to be dwindling rapidly as the more junior members of the faculty, staff and administration are promoted into the ranks. For me, I use my decision to get tattooed as a way to encourage acceptance and tolerance of diversity in all forms. Surprising that the more liberal community that demands inclusiveness tends to be at the heart of discrimination and intolerance of people with ink, no?

THIS. I have numerous degrees, and I don't know a single person in academia who has a negative perception about tattoos. Times have changed. You are really over-thinking this and generalizing wildly. Are you prone to panic attacks about things in general? Because, honestly, I'm kind of concerned for you.

I love this so much. Bahhaaa!! @oboogie

Do you know who he is? A lot of people don't. Cracks me up every time I look at it.

I think I might have felt this way many moons ago, but now I can't stop. Don't worry about it. You'll get used to it. I have an office job in a great company, and no one is bothered by my tattoos.

Another addition to my tattoo leg quilt ...

Yes! I can see that. Perfect.

Welcome!

I like it.  Leave it.

Welcome. Can't wait to see the finished product!

Oh ok cheers :) 

That's awesome, I'm a big Cash fan, which of his lyrics have you got?

Man in Black.

You have to engage on other threads for a while before you can post in other forums.

I have some Johnny Cash lyrics and John Lennon lyrics incorporated into my tattoos.

Just ask your question here. You have to have a certain number of posts before you can start a topic anywhere else.

Got this on Thursday.

Congrats, @Boiled Dove!
