Ok, being artists, many of us have tattoos. I myself have only two at the time, but plan on getting many others.
So I'll start us off…
Right upper arm (first tat):
upper left back (sorry so blurry):
This tattoo represents two of my close friends that died a few years back.
New tattoo design for left calf:
This will also have a banner below it, saying "R.I.P. LT Mark Daily"
As you can see, all my tattoos are of Wolves. Wolves are my "Spirit Guides" as a member of the Cherokee Wolf Tribe.
So what are your tattoos, and do they have stories behind them?

This one is part of a larger set that I had to put on hold for right now. It's kind of a take on the whole Excalibur from the Lady in the Lake, but more Japanese.
It'll have a person in a white outfit in the reaching backwards towards the sword while looking sideways. There isn't actually a face on the person, but there's going to be shadowing where there would be features, so everyone sees a different face of the person.
Also, there's going to be sakura blossoms blowing around. On my right bicep
It's kind of hard to see in this image, but it's a Jack of Spades. holding a glowing staff with tattered clothing. All original drawing, so there won't be one like it. Located on my back left shoulder
I was in the Army, now I'm in the police academy.PT
You're in the Army?
Eh..I'd like to get a tattoo…but I fear what they will look like when I'm older. I don't wanna regret anything.
That's why I haven't gotten one yet. I've designed a few custom tats for some people, including a dragon that wrapped around a woman's breast (had to sit there holding her boob to make sure I got the sizing right, LOL)…but I never got one myself. If I did, I would get a mermaid, because I love the water, I love to swim–and an old lady called me 'little mermaid' once while I was swimming in the pool. Heh.
I've done several tattoo designs for friends and acquaintances, but have yet to get any myself. When I do, I plan on souping up an Aubrey Beardsley-esque flower, perhaps similar to the one at the bottom of this picture:
… and getting it on the back of my lower neck, right below where a tee would cut off.
I love the Excalibur deal, Croi. I've a soft spot for things resembling Arthurian lore. : ) Hard to picture with the woman, though. I do like it by itself quite a bit. Will it turn into a sleeve of sorts, or just a bit more complex?

At the nursing home I work at, a lot of the residents have tattoos. You can still tell what they are, but they'er really faded, and some of them, blurred.
Then again, they probably had them for about 4-60 years. @_@

It will just be a bit more complex, really. To kind of give reason to the sakura petals falling down, up the right side of my shoulder will be a cherry blossom tree. It won't go down past my arm where it is now, however

I figure I'm going to be old, eating pudding, have bad saggy skin, and no teeth. Who the hell am I going to try and impress? I don't give a crap what they'll look like when I'm old. At the very least I'll have some fun in the nursing home playing "guess what this used to be" with the staff.
I don't have a pic of it, and due to some scarring on my back I won't bother taking one. I just got it for me. It's a mix of a star and cross. It represent the four branches of my family. And that fact that you need faith in each other to hold a family together.
I plan to get one of a pink lotus in honor of a friend who passed. He was very religous, and his favorite color was pink. LOL. I miss him.
After I have a child I plan to get one done of a mother and child I drew.
A dancer to represent my freedom, as a woman and and American citizen, because I feel free when I dance.
A tiger, rat, and a rabbit intertwined in a sort of Celtic knot. It's my and my sibs Chinese zodiacs.
I got this while I was in Osaka in June from Ton at America Mura #1 - Chopstick Tattoo shop. It's the only one I have and I designed it..
I always forget I have it now. And I think I will still love it in 30 years. Especially because it's on my wrist and wrists don't tend to get too much wear and tear. That's the only picture I have though. It was fairly painful, too.
