I cosign this. Getting tattooed led me down the path to go to art school, mostly b/c I was so encouraged by my friend (who is my tattoo hero) to draw. And well, yeah, here we are.
It's never too late to do something you want to do.

Working out! Prior to getting my half sleeves I had a complex about my arms being too skinny/flabby to get tattooed and that it just wouldn't look good. I was extremely motivated and started going to a gym 3-4 times a week trying to lose weight and add some muscle to my flimsy arms. I wound up getting started on them anyways because I finally realized that rationale of thinking was entirely stupid and in no way shape or form should have prevented me from getting what I wanted. Once I got into a routine though I managed to stick with it ever since and lost about 50lbs. I'm healthier then I've ever been and no longer have to worry about my blood pressure.

This is the best thread!
This picture was taken a few months ago at my sister-in-law's wedding and I was immediately struck by how much I LOVE the way the tattoo looks with the flowers and the floral print dress. I would like my whole body to look like a floral dress one day -- Since taking this picture I've gotten a few more big flowery pieces and I am slowly inching toward the goal :)

Here's my chest that I had done by Jason Phillips at FTW in Oakland. My only thing was no eagles (I already have one on my arm). I've always wanted this design on my chest. Finally came into fruition.

Well I received the grand price today :)
Unfortunatly I can't show the t-shirt together with the backpiece, but at least I got some sleeves that pair nicely with the t-shirt ;-)

(and yes, I'm sooo wearing this tomorrow to the office :) )

Definitely gotta get a tattoo by Xam - so good! I'm yet to visit Seven Doors.

Some of these pictures from Heartbeak Ink are pretty fun! (Like Filip Leu getting his hands tattooed.) @Eilin you're in one towards the bottom. 10th International London Tattoo Convention | heartbeatink.gr

Got started on the back again after taking a break for the summer. Finished the upper background and started on some color to my pleasant surprise!

Finally back at it. This one from Xam at Seven Doors, taken from Instagram:

Tell me about it. The whole right side of my body went numb half-way through. Was basically sitting sideways on a chair with my leg ontop of an arm-rest. Worth it though.

Nothing else on my legs, but got a few other tattoos yeah.
Thanks. My thoughts exactly. Looks a bit lonely down there so I'm itching to start filling them up with more.
