Yay Iowa!

So would a large TARDIS count as a geek tattoo?

I am in Alberta.

This is the only tattoo I currently have.

True! It's only my opinion that counts! That's what gave me the idea of walking around w/the heads taped to my legs, to see if I liked it. I'm a mean wife and tell him I could give two shits what he thinks in the long run haha! It just gave me pause like oooo would it really be dorky looking? I *have* to have them tho, so they gotta go someplace, whether it be above my knees or the side of my leg.

More good company in the tattoo crazies-thank you! It's all I can do to not email the artist and talk about what I "see" in my head for the next few visits b/c I'm so excited.

That's a good idea too...I'd probably end up w/just a couple smiley faces w/squiggly hair above my knees tho.

I belong to a jewelry forum, and it's not uncommon for members to draw things to scale and cut them out, tape them wherever the jewelry will be worn to get an idea how things will look, get some perspective. (I've done it myself) Has anyone gotten that obsessive w/tattoo placement? I ask b/c I mentioned tattoos above my knees to my husband and he thinks it would look funny unless they were large pieces. So now I want to print out some heads and tape them to my legs. Does this mark me as insane?

Okay, per request, one Monmon Cat by Horitomo.

Healed pic of my Scott Sylvia (BlackHeart Tattoo - SF) roses from Dec 2013. Happy New Year, everyone!! :D

This was done on the 16th of January. I'm the owner, the artist who did it is Dano, from Black Cat Tattoo in Schwerzenbach ZH, Switzerland.. Fresh after getting stabbed to death and back to life.

Done by Miles at Frith Street Tattoo, photo stolen from his instagram, taken just after he finished. Tried to get a healed photo but its too awkward

I need to take more photos of my art. I drew up this peacock feather design for a co-worker of mine about 2 years ago. She got the feather tattooed down her right ribcage about a week later.
Apologies for the poor photo quality.

I swear it seems like I post on here alot, but here goes:
I saw my bf again after 3 months apart due to medical reasons. We had a wonderful day and I told him I loved him. He also met my parents. Very cool day.

I don't have many tattoos yet but I love the ones I do have. New one done last month at Frith Street by Stewart Robson... (I hope it works)

Not to sound too creepy or anything, but I'm always ridiculously jealous every time you post pictures of your arms.

My old boss had been putting money in the stock market for something like fifteen or twenty years planning for his retirement. Then the recession hit. If he'd spent that money on tattoos he'd at least have something to show for it.

my cat Louie... only photos I have were taken when we first got him from the shelter a year ago. He's got two extra toes on each paw.

Thou shalt post thine tattoos so we may gawk in appreciation and envy

I've flip flopped on getting a classic lady head, a bearded lady head, or just a man head with an epic beard (what can I say, I love beards). I love the soft vintage look of Tom of Finland's men, but would obviously prefer something less homoerotic. :o
I'll probably end up going the safer route and getting something along these lines, I really love this Chris Conn lady:
(Sorry the pic is kind of huge, but I think it's worth it :D)

Was eating at a restaurant in Greenwich a couple of years ago and saw a woman with a full sleeve of lady heads and roses. Was clearly a few years old but had aged brilliantly. More importantly she wore them fantastically, I think a lot of subject matter in tattoos can really be gender neutral, as long as it suits the wearer. A gentleman with a ladyhead will still be a gentleman, a sleezeball will still be a sleezeball.

Goh, jealous! Iowa's not anywhere on the Amsterdam radar ha!

My sister asked me to touch her stomach tonight.... and I felt my nephew kick for the 1st time. I think I am the only person outside of my sister to feel him kick

I really like this one,it was done by Seth Leibowitz on one of the regular artists that does work on me,Jennifer Leonardi

Went back thru this thread b/c the direction I'm going in, I'm going to be heavily tattooed on one side of my back/one upper arm, and kinda sprinkled on the other side and I was getting antsy about it... and saw this picture-so stunning how the tattoos look together, and with your dress, just beautiful.

aaaaand I showed it to my husband and guess who HATES it? aaaaaand guess who's still getting it?
