I just have one small butterfly on my foot. DH has a half sleeve and then another tattoo on his other arm. They are very respectful tattoos though. Do you have any tattoos? What about your SO?

Neither of us have any. I always wanted one but I was too chicken, now I'm not sure any more so I guess it was a good thing!! I love tattoos though.

None for me, but DH is a tattoo artist by trade and has full sleevesn is working on a full back piece, and has various others on his chest and legs.

it's funny that you describe them as 'respectful tattoos' because i describe the placement of the one on my wrist as 'unapologetic'! not the tattoo itself, just that often you see tattoos strategically placed to be hidden from view unless one chooses to reveal them, but there's no hiding that one! i have another one that is hidden on my hip, very low on my hip. i love them both (even my misspelled tattoOPPS!!) and will probably get more in the future. DH talks about getting one, but he hasn't yet. his mother would not be pleased =D

I have one on my side/ribs, one on my hip/back, and one on my forearm. I'm planning to get another on my upper arm after baby is born. I love tattoos! SO has 2 -- both on his upper arm.

@mrs. bird: you have a misspelled tattoo?! I say respectful because when (ok before I met DH) I would hear about someone having a half sleeve I automatically thought bad/disrespectful/ biker guys. lol

@mrs. bird: haha crap! Did you ever get it covered or is it still misspelled?

I have one for my starsign on the inside of left forearm. I'm in the process of designing one for LO. DH has a few, a half sleeve on one upper-arm, a dragon thing on his right forearm and he also has Lo's name incorporated into his half-sleeve now.

@Mummystar: DH has a dragon on his other arm too, in addition to his half sleeve. He also wants to incorporate LO's name into his sleeve. Weird. lol they must think alike.

@Bao: no, i've kind of learned to love it =) it's perfectly imperfect, kind of a nod to the bumps along the way. that the love's always there, even when we make mistakes (like getting misspelled tattoos, haha) & you can't take things too seriously. it will be a teaching tool for our LOs, 'always check your work twice! see, you could end up with a misspelled tattoo!' =D

I have three - a palm leaf on my foot, a peacock feather with a Turkish evil eye in the middle on my forearm and my husband and I have matching tattoos of the logo he designed for our wedding (photo attached because it sounds kind of hokey when I say it)! Mine is on my upper arm.
I am sure I will want one to commemorate our baby once he or she gets here.
@MediaNaranja: Do you think you will ever let him work on you? My husband has a pretty big tattoo on his bicep and I think it would look so good if he extended it to a half or full sleeve.

No tats for me, my dad threatened my sister and I that if we got them before we were married he wouldn't help pay for our weddings at all. Now that we are both married we've joked about getting sister tattoos but haven't gone through with it yet.

Yep, I have 4. An upper back one that is a paragraph quote from a book, a lower back rose/vine tramp stamp, a lotus flower on my calf, and a latin phrase on my sideboob.. which is now covered up by my giant preggo boobs
DH doesn't have any, which makes me sad. Men + tats = hotttt

I have two, DH has none! He wants one, I'd do another as well!
I have the outline of a horse head on the inside of my foot, and the two maple leaf's on the back of the Canadian penny enlarged on my ribcage. If I did anything else, I would have it done on the opposite side of the ribs.

@LivsMama: I love that tattoo!
I have 4: CELLAR DOOR written on my inner left wrist, an ouroborus between my shoulder blades, my zodiac sign (a ram) on the back of my neck and a Hurricane Katrina commemorative fleur-de-lis on my left shoulder blade.
DH doesn't have any.

@LivsMama & FutureMrsMcK:how much did the wrist hurt? I want to get a tattoo there?
GOLD / wonderful pea / 17697 posts
@littlek: It hurt, but not unbearable. Probably hurt the least out of any of mine. I kind of zoned out when I got it done. The one on my shoulder blade and anything that went over my spine hurt way worse.

@littlek: not bad. It felt like a burn more than anything. Mine took like 10 mins.

I have one on my back. Two tribal designed dolphins inside a sun. I drew it when I was working for a marine mammal center so I still love it. No regrets. My kids see it and say hey mommy you have a painting on your back.

@LivsMama: pretty!
I have one on my lower back of a dragon, my birth year sign.

@Mummystar: @Bao:
My dh has a dragon that covers his upper left chest and down his bicep, he had butterflies for his daughters incorporated into it. His best friend who is a tattoo artist was featured with my husbands tattoo in a popular magazine (I can't remember which). He has a small four leaf clover on his thigh, a "dog tag" from his Marine days on his ribcage, a bunny boiler that I HATE on his calf, a half sleeve beginning at his wrist to honor his brother that passed away, it's a Catholic cross with 4 leaf clovers, and another sleeve that's a tribute to the Marines. He has quite a few, but can cover them all. I'm a chicken and he doesn't want me to get one anyways.

I have a butterfly on my shoulder blade. DH has 5! I want to get one for DS, but I haven't decided what I want or where I want it.

Neither for either of us but thinking of getting one that has to do with DD like Livsmama.

Me.. No. SO has one on each arm. I've never really been a tattoo person, but I love his.
