Tattoos really aren’t my thing. Actually, pain isn’t really my thing 🙂 i wouldn’t mind a small tattoo near my ankle or something, but don’t think i would ever actually get one! 🙂

That’s funny. When we were on our honeymoon in Tahiti, we went to a reservation and I was going to get a tatoo. I’ve always wanted a yellow rose just at the top of my right butt cheek. Back to Tahiti… I was told I wouldn’t be able to go into the water for a day or so. That did it – no way was I giving up a day w/out swimming to get a tattoo.
So when we got home, I got my belly button pierced instead.

No tattoo for me. I’ve been threatening to get one since HS though and know excactly what I would get. The hubby HATES them. So I most likely will never get one…. but who knows. Maybe when I’m 40 or 50 I’ll get more wild and crazy. 😉

Seven – both upper arms (a dragon on one arm, the celtic wheel of life on the other), both thighs (favourite band logos), one across the bottom of my back (the musical score from Penny Lane by the Beatles), a butterfly on my ribcage and a possum across my left shoulderblade (it’s my Australian sunsign).

Yeah, you could say I’m addicted I guess 🙂

No tattoos for me and I probably won’t ever get one. But when I was 16 I wanted one on my lower back.
But I do…er did have my ears, cartilage, navel and tongue pierced. I let everything close up though and now I just keep earrings in.

I can’t think of anything that I really would want so I don’t have any.

I don’t have a tat now, but one of my rewards for losing all my weight will be to get one that celebrates my achievement!

Umm, I actually think I innapropriately showed you my tattoo on the street in Baltimore, lol. But yes I have one that says Que Sera… Sera on my hip. I kind of want another one too, but have no idea what to get!

So jealous that you’re meeting Angela!

I have a tattoo on the inside of my left wrist. It’s the Thai symbol for honesty. I got it in 2006 on a trip to Thailand to visit my friend that lives there. It wasn’t done with needles though. It was done with these leaf needles where they put the ink on leaves with sharp points then do the tattoo. I’ll never forget the pain or the experience. I don’t think I’d get a traditional tattoo after going through that. It wouldn’t be the same.

No tattoos for me. I can’t think of anything I’d want!

Side note, I tried to make your breakfast from yesterday… TOTAL FAIL! so sad but the whole thing completely fell apart when I tried flipping it. I think I had the heat on too high. Sad story. Better luck next time!

Funny! I’m getting one on the back of my neck soon!

I got a personal tattoo about three weeks ago on the lower right side of my back. It’s the NEDA symbol. I struggled with disordered eating, anorexia, and depression for a long time and when I began my path to recovery, I wanted something to remind me of how beautiful I am as well as how far I have come.

(The purple side is larger, so it represents the overcoming of my eating disorder, which is the smaller red line)

I went through a tattoo phase. It all started on my 18th bday (10 yrs ago yesterday!) and I got 4 tattoos in the span of one year. They’re so addicting. But, like you, I got them all on my butt/ hip/ stomach area so you can’t see them- unless I’m in a bikini. I often forget I have them too, but I’m glad I do. I’m so much more reserved now than when I was younger so it reminds me there’s a part of me that’s wild. And ironically, my now husband designed one of my tattoos before we started dating 🙂

Do you use regular oatmeal when you mix it with yogurt? Or quick cooking? It sounds like a good idea that I’ve never thought of.

I have 2 tatoos that I forget I have. One on my ankle – 18, best friend and I thought it’d be a good idea, and it was!, and one on my hip, a leaf that signifies the farm I grew up on. It looks a little funny, but it has meaning so I love it.

I got a tattoo when I was nineteen – I designed it myself – it’s on my back 🙂 I forget it, too!

Tattoos aren’t really my thing, I would be scared to commit to something for forever (yes I have a slight fear of commitment!!)

I always said that I’d get a tattoo in a second if they could make ones that lasted for about 5 years or so. I have had my share of piercings, but could never come up with any design meaningful enough to me that I’d want it permanently inked on my body. True story: when I was 19 or 20, I was 450% certain that I wanted a “tribal” design with a VW symbol in the middle on my lower back, and gave myself a year to think it over before committing. THANK GOODNESS I WAITED…I could not imagine having that on my back today, at 28!

I do have a tattoo, which I also got when I was 20 (making it ten years old now!)It’s on my toe, it’s just sort of a little swirl design. It took me, no joke, over seven years to let my mom know I had it. I also completely forget I have it, and it sometimes surprises me in the shower!

I have a couple of tattoos and want even more. I already know what I want my next three to be. BUT I can’t justify spending the money on ink right now. I got my first one when I was 14… with my mom! Another when I was 18, another when I was 20. They are all special to me.

I think it’s adorable that your husband bought it for you when you FIRST started dating 🙂 and you’re still together now! Love it!

your tattoo sounds nice! in my opinion if you get a tattoo it’s gotta be tasteful like that and hidden – but personally i’d never get one, i have zeroooo pain tolerance and it’s just not my style 😉

i’ve been eating regular raw oats in yogurt forevs! glad i’m finally seeing it around the food blog world hehe. for a more creamy consistency i sometimes add milk or soymilk to yogurt (it tastes good i swear!) – 1/2 cup milk for 1 cup yogurt. then let the oats sit in that for a few.

have a great thursday!

I have three tattoos, a red rose on my hip which I got illegally when I was 15 years old in the most dodgy tattoo place ever! I also have a black henna style design on my left wrist and another black henna style design with stars on my right foot. I actually designed that one myself, I incorporated a nautical star as they represent a guiding star as well as 4 little stars for each of my goals. I’ve managed to achieve 2 of them already, with the first one losing weight and getting fit!

Love your blog by the way xxx

Tattoos were never my thing but I got one a few months ago to honor the memory of my father…its small and on the inside of my wrist, and has significance to me/my dad (kind of a long story). My brother and I went together, I got my first and he got his third. And afterwards we stopped by a bar and pounded a beer in celebration 🙂 It was a great bonding experience and I love seeing the tattoo everyday and being reminded of its meaning.

I have 2 actually, I have the pagan Goddess symbol on my back (not as low as a “tramp stamp” but not as high as mid back, sort of in the middle) surrounded by stars that I got the day before I turned 21 in NYC. Then I have a blue peony with a peace sign in the center right below the back of of my neck, I got that after a friend of mine was killed in Iraq.

I have ideas for several more too. :/

I have a tattoo of a four leaf clover on my hip, it was my 18th birthday present to myself. I love it and have never regretted it. I am getting another tattoo next week while im in Vegas on vacation!! yay!! Im getting a small sunflower on the inside of my ankle. I love sunflowers, and ever time i look at it i will remember my cousin who we lost to cancer. They were her favorite to. So I know I won’t regret that one. ( I like tattoos that mean something, a story of some where you have been or of something that has happened to you.)

Hahahha!! I totally forgot I have another one.

Every time my Mom would go to get her gamma knife (sp?) brain radiation they would mark the spots on her bald head with black dots… I got a black dot behind my left ear for each year she lived with cancer.. In totally I ended up with 10 dots. One line of 6, the other of 4.
🙂

I like your description of your tattoo. I have a tattoo as well it’s the Chinese symbol for father with father in English written under it. It’s on my shoulder blade, but it’s in far enough that no one sees it unless I’m at the beach or wearing a spaghetti strap top. I got this tattoo when I was 18 years old about 2-3 days after my dad passed away. I really like it and have never regretted the decision. In fact, when I graduate from my Masters degree I have another tattoo planned, again in a spot where it’s not really visible!

The only thing I can say about tattoos is for me it has to be something meaningful that stands the test of time. If it’s not then there is more chance of regret later in life. I know for me personally I’ll never regret my decision to get a tattoo because it meant so much to me, but I have had friends who have and ended up getting them removed.

I have wanted a tiny tattoo of a star on the inside of my right wrist since the day my mom passed away. Stars have a lot of meaning for us, and I feel like I would feel more complete with the tattoo. I still haven’t gotten it, and it has been 8 years! I am so afraid of that ink running through my veinssss

I’m actually considering getting my first tattoo. I want to get a seashell on my side, just below where a bikini top would sit. There are several reasons why I want it. First, I grew up by the beach so it’ll remind me of home. More importantly though, it’ll remind me of my dad. He always called me Shell. He passed away from cancer in January and I want to get the tattoo in honor of him. I’m going to get accent colors of blue + orange (my dad’s favorite colors), and green (my mom’s favorite color) and I plan on getting it done on Father’s Day this year.

I think the best kind of tattoo is one that means something to you. I never wanted a tattoo before, but when I thought of this idea it just wouldn’t leave my mind.

They’re not really my thing, but the right tattoo on the right person can look really great, and I’ve finally come around to the one The Huz has on his back 🙂

I have one tattoo, on my inner left ankle. It’s a Claddagh symbol, which is popular in Irish jewelry and means “love, friendship and bravery.” I got it when I was 19, and my mom actually has the same one!

I want a few more, but I’m not sure where to get them yet: The Latin phrase “Ad astra per aspera” which means “through the stars through difficulty” and the word “Namaste.” I took Latin all through high school and college and that phrase has always been my favorite.

It’s funny, because growing up I NEVER wanted tattoos – my mom had two when I was a kid (she has five now), and I never wanted any. Suddenly, I hit 19 and did! We still go to the same guy in New York who did all of hers back in the early ’80s even though we live in Atlanta. (He doesn’t charge us!)

I have one tattoo and I’m dying for another – I think I’m going to build on what I already have. Sounds weird but it’s the chain-ring from my mountain bike, inbetween my shoulder blades. I got it to commemorate a 35mile trail ride I did at Croom in 2008. I have ideas for “expanding” this one to incorporate some other “athletic milestones” I’ve reached…but we’ll see…

Oops, I meant to add that I’ve been thinking alot recently about a 2nd tattoo. I have an idea in mind for a running tattoo but I can’t decide where to put it. Also … one day after I have my tummy tuck (post weightloss surgery) I want to have the Weight Watchers stars for the amount of weight I lost across my tummy tuck scar (115 pounds).

I used to be against them, but then I went with my Boyfriend to get his first tattoo in December for completing his first Ironman Canada triathlon. Then I thought that it’d be neat to have one (hidden) too. I have absolutely no idea what I’d get though.

i have 5 tattoos! i love them and cant wait to get another one this summer. my most recent one was last summer, the husband and got tattoos together ~ he got one 1/2 of a yin yang symbol and i got the other. my next one will be a foot with a wing and 13.1 under it since i just finished my first half marathon a couple of weeks ago! (my other ones include my horoscope sign, scorpio, on my left foot ~ three purple stars, also on my left foot ~ the polish flag (i’m 1/2 polish) on my right foot ~ and a tribal design on my lower back). i love, love, love them all!!!

Love your tattoo story. Mine is very similar. I had always wanted one and I always talked about it to my Husband (who I had just started dating at the time) one day after we won some money at a casino while on vacation visiting him, he suggested we use the money to get that tattoo I’ve always wanted.

I have swallows very low on my hips, Love that they aren’t visible and they have so much meaning now. I want to get a few more, but we’ll see.

I have two, they are both small outlines and I love them! I got a star on my hip when I was 17, and last week I got a bow on my lower back (tramp stamp) to celebrate finishing my first half marathon.

I have two – one I got the day after I turned 18 (rebel much?) of a celtic knot on my lower back aka a tramp stamp – HATE that term. I often forget I have it, too. The other one I could never forget as it is on the inside of my left wrist – also another tattoo of a celtic knot that means “pure” as my/our name means “pure” in celtic. That little guy hurt like a bia.

I am planning to get another one this summer of script down my ribs and side of a line from Le Petit Prince that means a lot to me – I’m sure I’ll be screaming in pain that day!

no tattoos, but ive got my nose, tongue and tragus pierced!

i LOVE my piercings. i look like a total girly girl (and am really) so it always freaks people out when they realise. i got my nose done with friends, then got my tongue done by myself on a whim…and then got my tragus on a whim as well, but to piss off my boyfriend (who hates piercings). he said that getting my tongue done didnt really make me as “bad ass” as i thought i was. THAT came back to haunt him

I have 3- I have lips with a beauty mark on my foot (for Marilyn Monroe), a pisces sign on my right wrist, and a pale pink lily on my other wrist that my friend did for free. I am eventually going to cover it up with another, better looking lily 🙂 I will for sure be getting a few more in the future.

I really want a tattoo. This summer I am going to get a dove on the inside of my left wrist. I haven’t decided on the design yet. It may just be an outline…or I may get creative and have them add a pattern to the inside of it. 🙂 Someday, I want to get a tree of life on my mid back, right side with one bird flying out of the branches. Then, when I get married, I will add another bird. And, for each child that I have, I will get more birds added.

I have 5.
I just wrote that I had 4, but had to erase it because I totally forgot about one.
I have dolphin jumping in the ocean on my lower’ish back, 2 ballerina’s on my shoulder’s (I have been a dancer since I was 3, danced competitivly through life and now teach for a living) on the top of my left hamstring area, I have an angel staring up at a rainbow and it says “Daddy’s Bear”I got that one year ago today to remember my dad on the fifth anniversary of his passing, and then behind me right ear, I have a script that says love laugh dance live. I believe that it’s almost my “mantra” of how I live my life.
I looove tattoos, and would like more, however, do not think I will get them. 5 is enough.

I knew I wanted to get a tattoo as soon as I was legal. On my 18th birthday 4 friends and I all went and got the same toe-ring sun tattoo on our right 2nd toes. I am so happy with my decision!! It was summer before our senior year and even though we’ve all gone our seperate ways, we’ll always have our toe tats and that memory.

Unfortunately right after my toe tattoo was done I think I got strung out on the ink and decided on a whim to get a cliche butterfly tattoo on my ankle. I somewhat regret it, but am thinking of adding my favorite quote to it. Refuse to settle for anything less than butterflies”.

totally want a tattoo…actually two! one of a hummingbird stencil and the other of my family crest. i’m just to lazy to get them!

I have a tattoo of a filagree cross and the word Redeemed in Hebrew. I thought about it for years before finally getting it and bought it for myself for my 25th birthday since I thought I’d never see that day. It’s on my left hip right at my bikini line. You can see it depending on what bathing suit I wear and if I want you too.

I like tattoos but can’t think of another one I’d really want and Hunni doesn’t like them so I won’t get another.

Too funny, I have one on my left foot & forget about it also! Then someone who has never seen it will say “YOU have a tattoo!” 🙂 I have my maiden name on my left foot…my dad passed away 5 years ago & I got it in memory of him/where I came from. I love it…I want another too, no idea what though or where!

I have a dolphin on my ankle and a maple leaf on my shoulder. I got my first tattoo when I was only 14!!! But I like them both, other then the maple leaf is a bit crooked. I’ve actually been meaning to get that fixed…. I might get one more tattoo on my hip or lower back one day. Not sure!

I have 2; A horses head on my right hip as I worked with Race horses for about 10 years and they were and are such a huge part of my life and who I have become. THe other is on the base of my back and was designed by an album designer friend especially for me.(he was more than a friend and I think of him fondly when I look at it) It has no start or end point. I like it beacause he made it especially for me.
My mother spotted them when we vacationed in Italy a couple years back and I told her they were henna as she freaked. That christmas I was in a change room with her, totally forgot about them and she freaked again and wanted to know why they hadnt faded… oops!!! I really really want another….

I really want a tattoo, and may break down and get one when I do my first marathon soon! I need to think of a distinctive place to put “26.2”….any suggestions?!?! haha

I don’t have a tattoo but I have always wanted a tiny spreading fleabane flower somewhere inconspicuous. (Sounds like a venereal disease, but I swear it is a pretty flower, like a tiny purple daisy.)

Fleabane grows at high elevations like in Wyoming where I live, and I picked one and added it to my wedding bouquet when I got married in the mountains three years ago. I have seen amazing beautiful fields of them in the summer while hiking in really remote areas. I also run outside year-round and when the fleabanes bloom is my favorite running time of the year!

My sister *might* move to Africa in a few months to join the peace corps, and if she does, we might get tattoos together. Not matching, but I might then have the courage to actually do it! Ha ha, that’s a lot of mights!

Yep! And I love it!! I have “Mark 5:36” on my foot to remind me of God’s faithfulness during my breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. My hubby got the same thing on his shoulder. I love it!

I have three stars on my right hip. Similar to yours it’s never really seen even in a bikini. My best friend has the mirror image of the same tatto on her right hip. We got them together when we were about 19. It looks kind of crappy because we went to this shady little tattoo parlor who would actually tattoo us (in IL you have to be 21 to get a tattoo).

I definitely want another tattoo. I’ve been putting it off those because I’m not 100% sure where I want. I also need to find a good artist/ shop. Plus I’ve got that nagging “adult sense of responsiblity” telling me there are more important things on which to spend my money.

I’ve also got 12 piercings – three in each earlobe, two in my left cartilege, one in my right, my left tragus (the little nubbie), my belly button, and a “below the waist” piercing. I really want to get an industrial on my right ear. I promised my mom I wouldn’t get my tongue pierced (She threatened to make me repay them for my braces if I did.) otherwise I would have gotten that done at some point.

I don’t have a tattoo…and the only one I’ve ever thought about getting is 26.2 if I ever complete a marathon. My Husband on the otherhand doesn’t have any, but has at least 3 he wants to get.

I really want one! I’m just so scared of needles. I’d also put it somewhere people can’t see though 🙂

I want a tattoo very badly! I want a vine of three flowers, one for Europe, one for Australia and one for Africa which were the three places I visited during college. But I want it to be small and delicate and when I went to get one sketched out it wasn’t like that at all! I’d rather have nothing than one I’m not 100% happy with. But hopefully one day I’ll find an artist that can get it right.

I don’t have any. I’ve always thought that I wanted a small horseshoe on my hip, but after seeing how my skin did amazing feats of stretching during my pregnancy, no thanks.

Funny story. My old tennis coach had dolphins jumping around her belly button. She got pregnant and after she gave birth they looked more like beluga whales. Thank goodness for lazer removal!

I have a sneaker with wings on the inside of my ankle. (The track symbol) I love it!

I’ve got a celtic knotwork band around my ankle. It looks snazzy with my short workout socks!

I have 2 – a chain of daisies on my ankle and a celtic knot on my lower back aka a tramp stamp. I like them both, but whish I put more thought into the ankle one. I got them both when I was 19…I want another one but need to think of where to put it and more impotantly, what I want.

I do have a tattoo that I got when I was 18 and while I can’t say that I regret it necessarily, I do sometimes wish I didn’t have it. It is the WRV logo (lame, I know) and it is at the top of my back and is about as big around as a 50 cent piece. I doubt I would ever get one again, for sure. My brother is covered in them, though.

I have a pierced belly button, but I want to get a tattoo either on my upper back right below my neck or my inner upper arm. Still working up the courage, though!

I do:) I have a small outline of a heart on my foot close to my baby toe on my left foot:) I love it

I have one on my hip, but after an unhealthy obsession with LA Ink, I’m wanting another 🙂 Really bad!

I have a thing for stars! I got two the first time, one on the front of my right hip and one on the back of my left. I also have one behind my left ear and want several on the top of my right foot, but haven’t gotten up the courage, I hear its the most painful place you can get one (thin skin, lots of bones, etc).

I have one on my shoulder which was my first, it’s a star with music notes inside in front of a cloud in pinks and purples.

Pink lotus blossums on each hip which I got when I was in recovery from an eating disorder.

And butterflys flying up my back from above one lotus to the opposite shoulder.

Mostly no-one sees them cause I don’t wear clothes that show them off but I love having them there for me!

They’re not really my thing but I like some on other people. To be fair, I only got my ears pierced for the first time last year (aged 25!!) so I’m not exactly a dare-devil in that area!!

Exciting that Angela is coming to stay with you – I’m sure those’ll be some great posts!

I have 5 tattoos…some meaningful, and some just for fun.

I have one tattoo. I got it a little over a year ago. It’s the National Eating Disorder Association symbol and the words “Live Learn Love” along the side of it. Here’s what it looks like:
http://fullofbeansblog.blogspot.com/2008/12/inked.html

thats the same with my belly button- it has just become a part of me!
but i must say i am not a tattoo person!!

I am so late to this party, but I love my tatoos and love talking about them!
I have six tattoos (which sounds like alot to me, and I own them!)
1.I have a turtle tattoo that I got at 18 that was totally my “I’m 18 and I do what I want” tatoo. It’s above my left breast, low enough that it only shows when I want it too.
2.I have a daisy tatoo on the 2nd toe of my left foot–It’s from a song that I learned at Girl Scout camp-working at camp was a huge part of my life and who I am as a woman…my two best friends have the same tatoo.
3. I have the word “vicious” tattoed on my right foot–it’s a memorial tattoo for my cousin who died in a skiing accident.
4. I have the word “hope” written on my back..it’s almost on my lower back, but I like to think it’s higher than a “tramp stamp.”
5. I have a waterlily tulip tattoed on my right shoulder-my husband bought it for me as 23rd birthday present.
6. I have a damask-type design on my right shoulder blade, but in the middle I have my wedding anniversary date in binary code.

Even with 6 tattoos three of which are visible to me, without having to crane my neck around, I still forget that they are there! I love them, as they all mean something and symbolize something to me.
