Personal Tattoo Choices: What Would You Get?

[WLMcCoy]

I'm amazed there are so many of you with tattoos. I can't stand needles myself. Does anyone wish they hadn't gotten their tattoo??

I don't necessarily regret my name tattooed on my foot, but I wish now I would've waited so I could have got my daughter/future kids' names instead!

I am deathly afraid of needles. I still cry everytime before I get a shot/blod drawn, but I just tried not to think of it was a needle! lol

I like tattoos... but I dont have any. I like tribal and symblistic artwork. Its so amazing how detailed art can be on the skin. I kinda perfer to see ink on men tho... I like the tattoo my husband has on his arm that goes all the way around. He wants to get another this spring. He needs to sit with the artist to get the artwork done exactly the way he wants it first.

Well i decided to wait to get my tattoo. What I wanted "The celtice motherhood knot" i am not in love with it. So i am still trying to find the right one for me. My husband did get him one. It is tribal sleeve; very nice. We are going back to the tattoo artist in about 2 weeks so maybe i will get one then. If not I am going get my grandmother zodiac sign w/breast cancer ribbon and my mothers sign on top of my zodiac sign. So i will start a trail down my spine. So it will be my grandmothers, moms, mine (orignial one) then laters my daughters then other childrens sign. One good thing about getting my grandmothers sign it is also the same as my grandfathers. My grandmother and grandfather raised me most of the time (by my choice).

Anyway, I just wanted to update ya'll. Thanks for all ya'll responses. It was nice to read!

I have 2. The first is a rose with an arrow through it on my right hip. I loved it when I first got it but now its just there. The second is cherries with devil horns and tail on the back of my neck. I LOVE that one. After the first of the year I'm getting one across my lower back with my husband's name in the center of a heart with vines going out to 4 smaller hearts with our 4 children's names in the center of those and True Love Forever in script across the top. DH has 2 also. His first looks like a steel plate on the inside of his left arm says If Found Return To Patti with the numbers 0226199401092007 on the bottom (the date we started dating in high school then they date we finally got married 13 years later after 10 years apart). The second is on the inside of his right arm. It is the infinity symbol with our zodiac signs inside the opening on each side. Around it in script it says Til Death Do Us Part.

i have 3.

#1 was a hawaiian flower on my right hip that i had done in red white & blue (military family). it was one i just got to get. & sometimes i wish i hadnt. but its pretty.

#2 is the word "faith" written cursive in white ink on my right wrist. i love it because its almost invisible unless i point it out & people seem to love it. it almost looks like a scar.

#3 is 1st corinthians 13 on my left foot. written in gaelic (my grandmother is from ireland & i have alot of family there). that verse was also read at my parents wedding (like alot of weddings). it says "faith hope & love, but the greatest of these is love."

i am getting #4 when zachary comes home from iraq. our last name is swanlund & there are 5 of us in our family. so we are both getting 5 swan footprints. i am going to get mine along my right foot. i dont know where he is getting his....
