My name is Paige, I got this tattoo by Adam Newton (Noodles) at the Painted Lotus Victoria BC.

I gave him my design and he went crazy with what I came up with and it ended up being 10 times better than the original idea.

It’s a tattoo based on the Br’er Rabbit of Fables the graphic novel series. Later I’m going to get a quote tattooed saying “Don’t worry ‘about me, I can take care of myself.” Which is a quote from Br’er Rabbit, and it was so fitting to the tattoo. I absolutely love this tattoo, it took 2 sittings. The first sitting was about 4 hours and the second was 2 hours. This was my first tattoo, the wrist hurts but not a great deal of pain.

Informative, no sob story, nice ink. 

A+

Plus- Fables are a great read.

I really can’t see how anyone would think this looks good

Are those lyrics from the Killers?  Really? 

I didn’t think they were timeless.

Got this today, my third tattoo. Each of the flowers has a different meaning each with significance to me. The gerber daisy happiness/cheerfulness, and the hydrangeas mean friendship. The amaryllis means sheer beauty but I also added that flower for my grandma. She grows them every Christmas season and they are truly beautiful. 

Done at Berlin Tattoo in Kitchener, ON. By Colin. One of the best artists I have seen in my area at least. 

Cliffnotes version: I don’t need your validation, I like flowers, in memory of my Grandmother.  The End.

I got this done by Gwen Gersich at Formula Ink tattoo shop in Ft. Lauderdale. I’ve had the idea of getting a sugar skull for quite a while. I stumbled upon this tattoo shop after the LIGHTS! show at a venue next door. I went in and talked to the lady at the front desk. She told me she was does a special every march. Any tattoo fifty to one-hundred dollars! I then made an appointment right away and talked to her about how I wanted my tattoo(: About a week and a half later I got it done. Gwen did a beautiful job<3 

One of the very few times where you didn’t get botched while you were looking for a good deal.  Cool execution, nobody cares if you wanted a sugar skull for “quite a while,” it doesn’t give you cool points.

My Dali tattoo,
Done by Chris Govier of body art, Swansea, Wales.

I have always loved art,but when in school my art teacher showed me Dalis Dream and I blew my mind..

You can’t trust anyone who prefers Dali to… anything else.  It’s like saying your favorite photographer is Ansel Adams… Also, I blow my mind everyday.

This was done by Vinny Romanelli at Red Rocket Tattoo in NYC. He’s multi-talented and really well known for his portraits. This is a carbon-ring microphone (steampunk style). I’m a singer in a band and an activist so the microphone just seemed to fit me. You can see his work at www.tattoosbyvinny.com. 

It’s pretty and the tattoo makes sense… but all I read was:

“This was done by Vinny Romanelli at Red Rocket Tattoo in NYC. He is known for portraits but that fact is irrelevant because this is not a portrait. This is a microphone. I’m a singer, in case you were wondering I’m in a band and I wanted to let you know that I’m an activist even though it has nothing to do with steampunk, microphones, or being in a band… so the microphone just seemed to fit me.”

My new Ramona Flowers Angel (Scott Pilgrim The Game) tattoo.

“I got this firstly because I adore Ramona, she’s a dream. But I also got this tattoo because it’s a little reminder of mine that I should always have fun. Silly I know, but it’s been tough getting myself together and finding out who I am, I seem to forget who I am sometimes. I’m the game loving tech nerd who always loves to have a good time, and that I should always make what I do be fun and entertaining. Never stuck in a job I’m not happy with.”

Done by the lovely Butters at Bad Apples Emporium in Brisbane, Australia.

“I’m writing this because I don’t understand why you are quoting yourself on your tattoo and all sorts of other stuff about not settling for things that aren’t fun and entertaining.”

This is my first and definitely not my last tattoo.

Meaning: this one is for my mom (who got the same thing on her shoulder). It’s her favorite flower and the state flower. It symbolizes California as well as my mom being my home. The lady bug is a thing between my mom and I when I was little, I was her ladybug. The main flower with the lady bug on it is my mom, I’m the one on the left, and (I don’t think I’ve ever told anyone this part but) the closed one is for my big brother. My mom had a miscarriage years before I came around and she wanted to make it a family tattoo and include him too. I absolutely love it and couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you to Brandon at Inflictions Tattoo shop in Covina, Ca.

Hmmmm… So let me get this straight…

You’re at least 18+ years of age… and before you were born your mother miscarried… I don’t think that counts as a sibling.  That’s like considering all of my menstrual cycles as potential children, and that isn’t how life works.

This is my forth and largest tattoo. I fall in love with it more every day. 

by Chris at Royalty Tattoo in Durand, Michigan

People who keep track of their tattoo’s deserve to be slapped. 

Also, nobody cares if it’s your 10th or 35th.

This is my first tattoo that was done at Thou Art by the owner Steve on April 5th, 2012. It’s two purple and blue koi fish with my Pisces zodiac symbol located in the center. This tattoo means a lot to me not only because it’s my first one, but it’s also a part of me since it symbolizes the month I was born. I couldn’t be any happier with it and it’s something I know I will appreciate forever.

I’d be worried if you weren’t a Pisces… I mean really, come on.

My first tattoo, designed by myself, freshly done. Inspired by vampire glyphs/kryptonian writing.

Within each glyph is an initial of mine in Morse code. Each one also represents my present, past, future, and family and friends, respectively. It serves as a constant reminder that in whatever I do, never to allow others’ judgments of me to affect how I act, to always keep moving forward no matter what obstacles present themselves, to remember the past and learn from it, and to keep in mind the important people that have come and gone from my life at all times and remind myself that they are where I draw my strength and inspiration from.

That’s one hell of a sentence.

Red Tail Boa Constrictor in Cannabis Plant

4 sessions. 11 hours.

done by Kenneth Bryan of Intimate Body Art Studios

Background Info:

This is my first tattoo and a lot of time went into thinking about what I was going to get before i ever even stepped foot in a tattoo shop. I decided to get a tattoo of my Colombian Red Tail Boa Constrictor. I looked up a few tattoos of Red Tail Boas and found one that was done by an artist that had a shop about 20 minutes away. Not only was close by, but he had Boa Constrictors of his own. When I first told my artist about having the snake done, he suggested we use some type of plant in the background. The first thing that popped into my head was to use a Marijuana plant. They really are beautiful plants, so despite the fact the my parents disapproved, I went with the pot plant. So we took a picture of my boa wrapped around a branch and combined it the best picture we could find in a High Times.

What It Means To Me:

I see the Boa as a representation of myself. For the most part we both calm, but have the tendency to snap when rubbed the wrong way. I was also born in 1989, which is the year of the snake on the Chinese calender.

The weed represents all the friends and experiences I’ve had because of Marijuana. I’ve made so many friends through the many times I’ve spent enjoying this wonderful plant with others. And to have the snake wrapped around plant represents my adoration for the friends I’ve made the experiences we’ve had.

Even though it’s finished now, it doesn’t feel complete. So I guess it’s on to the next one…

So, this tattoo is gorgeous.  The colors are rich, the snake looks amazing, I enjoy the blue color burst in contrast to the reds and browns of the snake… But pot leaves?  COME ON!  “I made friends because I smoked pot,” bullshit.  You made friends because you’re probably a cool person or maybe because you have something in common aside from your little hobby… Maybe?  

I don’t really give a shit if you smoke, if your mom got you high for your 12th birthday, if you’re straight edge or whatever the fuck you want to be… But this is just a poor decision.  It’s like saying, “I know you just pulled me over for swerving in the lanes and I might be a little drunk… Do you wanna check my car for anything else before you go?
WINKWINK. Idiot.

Doctor Feelgoods, Poole

It means ‘Forever free’ a reminder that you shouldn’t let you self get down, you can free yourself from negativity. when the tattoo is turned sideways the F looks like an abstract heart to connote to never lose faith in yourself. The lines represent dreams, thoughts and my ongoing path in life :)

At face value it just means, “Forever.”  Why didn’t you take the extra $10 and add “free” to it?  Now you need to waste your time taking away from the artistry of a good tattoo and explain it… While it may be what you’re looking for, maybe just the validation… it’s poorly executed and need’s to be touched up because the linework is junk.

March 19th, 2012 - My 20th birthday.

I always thought that tattoos like this were kind of mindless. I never understood why anyone would ever get a matching tattoo with their significant other, or even their name, until I met Matthew. We share a special connection that I don’t think many people get to experience. He’s my literal soul mate. We share the same interests, the same opinions, and scary enough the exact same thought process. He knows what I’m thinking before I say it, and vice versa. He knows how to make me happy, how to calm me down, and how to pull me out of a dark place. He’s incredibly supportive, and would do anything for me, just like I would do anything for him. He understands me, and everything I have ever been through. Our love is like no other, and I am very thankful to have him in my life. This tattoo represents our dedication to one another, and that he has me forever. I will never leave him, and this tattoo proves just that. Matthew Auretta, you will forever, and always, hold the key to my heart. I love you so much, please never forget that.

I would never do X, but this time it’s special.

My problem with relationship tattoo’s isn’t the ultimate demise of such relationship and the regret one will hold with the love fades away, I also suppose a lock and key are easier to deal with versus names in old English with hearts and sparrows… But it’s the age at which people get these tattoos.  At 20 I thought I had it all figured out, and at 27 I realize I’m just now figuring out what is REALLY important and that my relationship then had a lot of maturing to do. 

So really, if you have it all figured out… Why not wait a couple years for a couple tattoo?  Why not get tattoo’s together, holding hands, but separate designs… Like marriage.  If you’re going to be together forever (which is unlikely) then what’s the difference between doing it now and waiting a couple years?  Hmmm?

Welcome to my blog… a place for me to vent about the stupid shit I read on FuckyeahTattoos… There’s nothing more disappointing than an awesome tattoo with a shitty, afterthought sob story with little to no actual correlation between the ink and the person.
