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'm going to claw my tattoo off it itches so bad.
I don't remember mine itching all that bad. I am seriously wanted another one.., haven't completely decided on the what and where but I am seriously thinking.
I'm getting another. Heh.
Finally getting my blink tattoo (i think its kind of weird how 3 of mine i got werent ones i planned that much, but the one i just got and the one i'm going to get i've wanted for years)
I think i might go over to my tattoo place today and drop off the picture, i was there friday hanging out with my artist (me and my friend had nothing to do) and i forgot to leave it.
Its going to be the design on this

Its the original tape blink made in scotts basement. I always liked the design. My only fear is that it will look kind of awkward just there on my side.
I might get my clover colored in too while i'm there. He said it'd cost less that way. But i think i'll just save that for later.
I have 1/2 sleeves on both arms (Mucha lithographs), two on my back, both my wrists and one on my forearm. My artist just designed some really great teacups on saucers that are going on the back of each leg...and then I'll start my back piece.
Maybe I'll hunt down pics here... ::)
I reallyyyy want a half sleeve of veggies, a back piece, or stuffs on my legsss.
But all of those semi scare me for future jobs. (well not the back piece, i just cant really decide on a back piece)
The idea of a sleeve is my main scare for the future. Thats why i got my artichoke where it is, so if i want to start my sleeve it starts there.
I honestly want a chest piece tattoo, but I'm afraid it wont be appropriate for my profession (Dietitian).
Do you guys think that it wont be as taboo in 6 years from now, or should I just not worry about it?
(I wont be getting the tattoo for quite a while, but within the next few years).
I just worry about having to wear a shirt that covers it to work every day.
I love tattoos, and it's odd how some people still see them as taboo.
I think they're beautiful.
I also want dragon wings on my back, but I know that will cost a soooo much.
I'm still thinking about my tattoos, but I don't ever want to be restricted by my profession.

Just plan on having to cover it/them. This often means wearing full button up shirts/blouses (or sweaters in cold weather). Imagine how you would feel about that, and decide from there.
I cancelled on getting the last thing i posted. Instead i'm going to expand on the veggies. I want to get like, a big vine coming from them down my side with flowers on it after i get a couple (probably a tomato vine). I dont know what veggie is next though.
I know i dont want anything green. I had been thinking about garlic or something for a while. I love garlic.
And i want a crookneck yellow squash or butternut.
Probably a radish or beet. (this is the one i havent thought that long about. Just popped into my head)
And eggplant.
One of the main thing is that theres different colors in each, so i have a little rainbow of veggies on me.
The only reason i haven't brought specifics into my artist (we've talked about doing more, but i havent said what i want and how i want it to go with the artichoke and lay out). Is because this is going to be something that will take a while, so i've been trying to make sure i want more. I think i do (not know, but i'm going to present him with ideas to see his feedback and maybe he'll have some ideas). It might turn into a half/quarter sleeve.
I'm excited for when i actually do this. But this one i really want to think about for a long time. And i'm just pushing all my ideas to the side for now until i really figure this one out.
And i dont want the vine on my side (if i go with that, which i do really want) to mess up the thought of me getting a big tree on my side/backish area which i've wanted for years. So i was thinking the vine could go down and around the tree if i get that done.
I like the styles of these

Haha awesome I win!
I'm calling the tattoo artist today :)
Hi, everybody! I'm new to this forum; I'm a vegan tattoo lover, and I just wanted to say hi, and hope I can contribute to this board!
welcome!
Ok so I finally worked up the courage to call the tattoo studio, they said come in any time to discuss what I want. They're open until 7 tonight, I'm free for the rest of the day... should I just GO?
I'm so scared of being shot down about my ideas yet again! But I want this tattoo!
ARGH tummy butterflieses.
Do it theo!! If i was a tattoo artist i would never ever shoot down your idea!
Awwww, go, Theo. They won't shoot you down. They might just make some suggestions! <3
I did it! It's booked for next week, exactly as I drew it! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
How exciting!! When you get home from the tattoo shop place, the first thing you must do is take pics for us.

Where did you end up booking it in, Theo? I'm seriously excited for you, and stoked you found someone who loves your idea like it is : )
I don't care if it's all bloody and leaky and what not......I WANNA SEE IT!
