I know we have threads, and I know we talk about them in different places, but......here we are.
Now that I just have touch ups left on my chest, I'm trying to decide what to get to cover up my little blip of a tat. on my hip. I think I want to get something that ties in with my chest piece.
eta: I deleted that creepy picture. It was just too creepy!
I keep having a recurring dream that I am getting one. I wonder if that means I should 8-) I think they are so cool on other people and yet I've never gotten one. Hmm..
that DEFINITELY means you should get one!
I was hoping someone would say that. LOL. Every time I go to meet one of my friends for a girlie weekend, my husband jokes that I'll come back with one. He doesn't have any, totally afraid of needles, so I don't think he'd ever get one.
DO IT!
my husband doesn't have any either, and never will....but I'm addicted...he just gives me a look, then quietly accepts it...
I have been wanting another one for a while but now I am ready to do it...like Erin's hub mine will give me a look and quietly accept. He certainly doesn't love them but loves me so he accepts. ::) I am thinking foot or wrist...I am so excited!
I'm kind of wanting another one too, and I finally figured out what I want--3 words, and I don't always like the way word tattoos look. I don't know how to make them look good or where to put them. I felt so happy to figure out WHAT, but there's still so much more to think on.
Oh, let me clarify on not liking word tattoos: I live in a really backwoods, hick city and a lot of people have their friends do their tattoos, and I barely ever see straight, even letters. It scares me, even though I'd go to a professional!!!
I'm getting my tatty on Saturday!!! I'm so freakin' excited!
Of course I'm still a little worried about him covering/incorporating the chinese symbol on my shoulder, but he seems confident that it won't be too terribly noticeable....
and he quoted me a lot less than I was prepared for, so that's always nice....
I'm getting my first on sunday. eek. we'll see how it goes. i'm getting a big die cut apple on my shoulder. the design is from the actual die cut at my school. i wanted to get something to remember my time here in texas before i move and thought this would be perfect. i'll post pictures when its done!
I will be eagerly awaiting photos of this weekend' s tattooage.
So so jealous. I really want another tat.

Exactly what Shell said.
Ok, so help me think of what I can do to make it more...balanced/normal/cute on the outside where he did the cover up....the random pieces close to my shoulder....and those aren't zits on my back, its a scar, but it looks kinds gross...

wow erin that looks great! haha, does Andy often colour in your tattoos? : )
I see what you mean about the cover up not being the clearest/cleanest, but I definitely like the rest of the design!! I don't really know what you could do to change it, other than maybe trying to incorporate another flower or something...
I really like it Erin! I don't think I would notice the cover up if it had'n't been pointed out. And man you have a hot bod.
And I LOVE that Andy colours in your tattoos! CUTE!

love it. its exactly what i wanted. easily covered up. easy to show off. it took less than 5 minutes. had the most awesome, nicest artist. it was actually kind of relaxing. can't wait to get another. next is a sibling tattoo, my bro and i are getting hex signs! deitsich4ever!
erin. i love that peacock. are you gonna leave it black and white? or get it permanently filled in?
eee that is cute! Are you going to keep the original die cut as well?
ok, I'm sorry erin but I still can't see the cover up job. Maybe I'm being thick! I love your tat. It also works really well with your peacock. Love it.
eta: N and I have just had a closer look and I think I can see the cover up now, but still not sure.
Kelsi, I love love love your apple tattoo. So simple yet really cool.
So jealous of all you new tattoos.
ok, you guys have made me feel a little better....thanks!
shell, you can see it best in the 2nd picture, where I'm kinda turned - it was a chinese symbol on my shoulder that he covered up with some random design, not like the other flowers....
and no, this is the first time anyone has colored in my peacock - it was actually my friend megan who started it, but Andy wasn't satisfied with her color scheme so he took over...
eee that is cute! Are you going to keep the original die cut as well?
i borrowed it from the school i teach at so no : ( i had to give it back. thanks guys!!
I love it Kelsi!
Erin, I looked forever and could not find the "cover-up" until just pointed out where/what it was. The whole thing looks really pretty!
thanks lotus.
erin! i just saw it. its a lighter shade underneath the flower, a bit of it sticks out. but obviously its barely noticeable!! so nice coverup!
Love everyone's pics! Great tats, ladies. Erin, I want to color in your peacock now, too!
ok, I have the sudden urge to get my flowers colored in....I'm thinking blue?
I don't really know what prompted this, but I think its got something to do with how unhappy I am with the whole thing and I just want something to make it better....
and no one I ask seems to really care....I just wish someone would give me a definitive yes or no! stupid cover up mess!
