And I love, love, LOVE that tattoo on your side! I want to do something like that one day. I love corset piercings like that, too. But I'm far too horrified to do that. Haha.

Here's mine in the order i got them done, starting when i was 18 and my 5th being done back in August at 23.

My cousin did this one for me as my high school graduation gift



when i was 19....





When i was 21


and the most recent at 23....



I've also been debating on my next tattoo but it'll be a while before i figure it out. There are just so many i want to do! Will probably get a smaller one done when i go back home. Have my cousin or my aunt do it.

It's Tolkien's signature. John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. It's my one "nerdism". My back piece is the inscription of The Ring taken from one of his original drawings. It was on copies of the books my Pops gave me when I was very young.

I got my first tattoo today. A peace sign on my right shoulder.

I don't have pictures yet, as my skin broke out bad and there's green covering my back, but I'll get them.

A lot of people will have reaction to lighter colored inks such as Light Greens/Yellows/Reds, etc. My skin got these little red pustules on my side after getting that tattoo. For a long time I thought I was getting attacked my fleas at night, then I found out what it was. Just so you know DJ, it's not much to worry about, just keep an eye on it...It should subside in a couple weeks...

Eh, it wasn't even that bad. By last night is was pretty much gone. I just had like hives around the area, and yeah, the light green I used didn't take to my skin well at all, so I'm gonna have to go back in a few weeks for a darker green touch up.

Here is a crappy picture of it that I took from my phone (a little blurry, I know);

Here's my new and very first one, dedicated to my son.. Will be going back in a couple weeks to get my next and get this one touched up a bit..
