The list of tattoos I want to get is long. It's not even been a year since the last one, and I want the next one now now now.
It me. My last two are both less than a year old, but I have SO MANY IDEAS.
I think I'm kind of old to be getting one. I turn (shudder) 67 on my next birthday.
I don't know about the blood thinner risk, but my mom got her first tattoo this year at age 70. You're never too old! (This is the artist - my mom's tattoo isn't in her feed, but I *love* *love* *love* her style.)
Wow those are neat! I want another tattoo, and am pretty sure I know where I want it, have a fairly good example of what I want, but haven't yet been arsed to find a tattoo artist and arrange and pay for it. Guess I don't want it that badly?
Wow ! Jessica, I love that artist's work. I've been wanting to get a tattoo of all the state flowers from the states I've lived in and now I'm wondering if I should go to Brooklyn to get it!!!
Oh, lisah, that's such a good idea!
I don't have tattoos because I am also a rotate all the art occasionally person. I get tired of seeing the same thing all the time.
I did think about getting Mishka's pawprint but waffled about where to put it. He liked to pat my face with his velvet safety paws, but facial tattoos and I are not friends.
I could follow that with all the other cat paws and have a trail meandering up my spine. Which would be super cool but frustrating when I couldn't see it.
So I probably won't ever ink my skin but trying it out with henna would be fun.
After a week long visit I am driving my sister back home today. Making a round trip so I told my eldest son and his roommate I was fetching them to keep me company. Hope I can have calm conversation with him. He's not doing good.
The linked tattoo artist's work is gorgeous! She has an amazing skill with color shading.
I have two tats. I mentally sat with the subject and placement for years with both before I got them. (A Viking long ship at the top of my right thigh and a swallow from the Akrotiri frescos on my left upper arm.) I've been happy with both since I got them—2009 and 2018 respectively. I'm not ruling out another, but I don't have anything currently in mind.
Okay, Jessica, a friend of mine is literally at that studio getting a tattoo right now. Like, her appointment started at 12!
If I ever get another tattoo (unlikely) I'll go to Korea and get a whale from this dude: [link] [link]
I'm seriously obsessed now, Jessica! I'm trying to figure out roughly when I could take the trip. I've been thinking about this tattoo for years and hadn't found the right artist for it.
