Title: *poke*
Post by: SourdoughStomper on August 13, 2015, 06:10:11 AM
I nicked this off of GameFAQs, as usual, as they usually have better poll ideas than me.  :P

Do you have any tattoos? I do not and doubt I ever will. Just not my cup of tea. I have been known to use rub-on tattoos on occasion, though. :)

But I know there are some Arena peeps that are inked up! You can vote in the poll and even describe or show them off if you like.

Disclaimer: please don't show them off in they are in an area not generally viewable by the public! You know what I mean! :P

I don't, but my dude is well tatted up. P:  I wish I had the spare moneys for such adventures.

I don't have any but I would like to someday! However, I am very indecisive so I have no idea what it would actually be. This is why I probably will not get a tattoo for a while!

I like the idea of having little brightly coloured planets or stars somewhere, and I like a lot of animals. Axolotls, lizards, cuttlefish and, of course, dragons would probably make neat tattoos... Oh and dinosaurs! A bright, feathery raptor of some kind? That might be pretty.

*shrug!*

No, I don't have any tattoos.  I wouldn't be able to get one even if I wanted it.  I'm so sensitive to pain, no way I could make it through a session.

Post by: Skeen on August 13, 2015, 07:46:05 AM
I have one, hidden where it isn't ever the subject of conversation.  People are always surprised if I tell them I have one and ask why I didn't put it somewhere visible.  I got it to be a part of me and not to be shared with the world, that's why.

Post by: Leave a Whisper on August 13, 2015, 08:07:58 AM
I'd like to get one but they're expensive, they sound really painful and I can never make up my mind about what I wanna get.
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: kaoskat on August 13, 2015, 08:11:55 AM
I would but the way my luck goes I'd end up allergic and it just isn't worth the trouble.
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: mopthebunny on August 13, 2015, 08:23:58 AM
Nope, and I never will -- far too painful and tacky to me :P
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: MikeysGrrrl on August 13, 2015, 08:27:48 AM
I definitely fall under the totally inked category :P I have 31 so far, with 2/3 of them only being visible in the summer when I wear shorts or dresses. I plan on adding more very soon  ^.^ My hubby is heavily inked as well, he has around 50 and plans on adding more as well.

I have two, but they are only visible in the summer when I wear shorts and/or tank tops. I wouldn't say that I regret them, but my interests have changed since then and I don't really appreciate them as much as I used to.
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: BlackCurtains on August 13, 2015, 09:11:50 AM
I have one, a dragon on the back of my left shoulder. I'd love to have more but whenever I save up an emergency strikes.
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: Ledbyrd on August 13, 2015, 10:15:55 AM
I have two and hope to get more. The one that is visible all the time is a simple red heart on the base of my left big toe. It was my first because I was worried that it would hurt a lot so I went with something small. Surprisingly it didn't hurt that much at all.
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: melodys_angel on August 13, 2015, 10:25:17 AM
Nope--and I don't think I ever would simply due to the type of upraising I had.

I do find them pretty though :)
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: Ivaness on August 13, 2015, 10:34:15 AM
I have 5. One is always visible, it's Autism puzzle pieces on my wrist. The yellow one needs a touch up. :)
I have a fairy on my right calf, a moon/stars on my left calf.
I have a big puzzle piece with my son's name on my left foot.
And I have this: http://mellon.deviantart.com/art/Pattern-in-the-ivy-2178704
on my back. I know many many more people have it, but I really love it. I always get compliments on it.

Post by: CadePony on August 13, 2015, 11:36:06 AM
I don't have any tattoos on me. I might get at least one small tattoo someday, but I'm not 100% sure if I will go through with it or not. Major problem with me getting a tattoo is that my dad made it absolutely clear that he finds tattoos on women unattractive. =/
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: Beldarna on August 13, 2015, 11:42:50 AM
I don't have any but I have an idea of what I eventually will put between my shoulderblades. I've had the idea since I was 14, and I am 31 now.. I just need money for it and the courage to book an appointment.
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: SwordPony on August 13, 2015, 11:48:11 AM
I have two both I got while I was in the Air Force. I never did get my jack skeleton tattoo though. I was gonna get him on the back of my leg. I am eventually going to get my Grandfather's and my dads initials done. Not sure yet where I wanna get them at.

I want a heck of a lot of tattoos, but I don't have a pain tolerance + I'm scared of needles. .__.
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: mlp_loving on August 13, 2015, 12:51:58 PM
I have 1 tattoo. It's on my back right shoulder blade and is almost always covered up. It's a Breast Cancer ribbon with the word 'Believe'. I chose it because my mom and grandma are both survivors. I plan on getting another tattoo soon. it'll be on my wrist and dedicated to 1 of my dogs. He's alive and well, but I love him to death and want something special on my wrist where I can always see it.
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: Griffin on August 13, 2015, 12:53:32 PM
I don't have any and I doubt I ever will... but you know, never say 'never'! ;) I have a pretty low tolerance for pain though, and I doubt I'd be able to come up with a design I like enough to keep it forever. Nevertheless, I find tattoos pretty fascinating and every now and then I toy with the idea...
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: DalaPony on August 13, 2015, 01:37:23 PM
Rub-on tattoos are the closest I'll ever come to being inked!  I have a horrible feeling that if I ever did get a tattoo I'd suffer from almost instant buyer's remorse :lol:
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: octocorn on August 13, 2015, 01:50:54 PM
I have one, possibly two sessions left on a half sleeve on my left arm of hummingbirds and flowers, and one on my lower stomach.   
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: invaderhorizongreen on August 13, 2015, 02:38:05 PM
I don't have any, I figure if I want one I will get a decent temporary one.
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: Ringlets on August 13, 2015, 03:55:53 PM
Nope I don't. Its not my thing - I don't do pain...and I have allergies... so no -although I've seen some really nice ones. I don't mind the temporary ones :)
Dad had one once but he got it removed.
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: mlp4me on August 13, 2015, 04:44:06 PM
None here. Maybe some day over the ridiculously large scar on the back of my leg from having a mole removed... Still debating on rainbow brite or smurfette there...
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: True on August 13, 2015, 05:16:02 PM
I have two, one is on my inner forearm so its usually visible, the other is on my upper back, so you can only really see bits of it peaking out of a tshirt.

I will get more, I love tattoos.. I hope to have a full sleeve on my left arm someday. but money is an issue, and im also somewhat allergic to the ink so, i end up with splitting headaches for about a week after. xD
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: hilamb on August 13, 2015, 06:58:58 PM
Yes, and at least one is normally visible.  :biggrin:
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: Harmonie on August 13, 2015, 07:22:10 PM
Getting one has never really been something on my mind, and I doubt it will ever happen. I don't judge those who do, though.
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: Wardah on August 13, 2015, 08:12:44 PM
I think they are pretty but I want to be able to change it so I go with something only semi permanent like getting airbrush or henna done.
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: Princess Lala on August 13, 2015, 08:32:02 PM
Im too chicken to get inked! xD Well.... I got inked by some kind of sea slug one time that spit out blue-black stuff at me on Longboat but as far as a tattoo....im too much of a coward! Im terrified of needles and have a low pain tolerance! I got my ears pierced and I dye my hair but thats as extreme as I will go! Watching my husband get his tattoo was too much for me. Im such a wuss! xS
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: Saber-Toothed Crow on August 13, 2015, 08:47:25 PM
Yes! I have seven, with plans for more. Only one is usually visible, but you'd be able to see at least three more of them if I actually wore shorts instead of jeans all the time XD
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: BuckinghamAlice on August 13, 2015, 10:45:25 PM
Not yet.  I want a Superman tattoo, probably on my arm.  Been thinking about it for years, but I can't afford it yet.

Not yet. I want something Gundam related and one other anime related tattoo. I need to find good tattoo artist.

No, and I probably won't ever get one... but who knows? They can be pretty cool after all...
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: TwistedRiver on August 14, 2015, 01:57:18 AM
I don't yet, but I do plan on getting one or two someday. I just need to work up the courage/save up for them. My bro has a few and I figure if he can handle the pain, then I can since he's got a pretty low pain tolerance most of the time.
I'm not sure yet where I'd get them though.
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: tikibirds on August 14, 2015, 02:48:29 AM
I want one but that will have to wait till I return to the USA

If eyebrows count then yes and after that experience I know for sure I'll never get a permanent tatt... OUCH !!
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: lovesbabysquirmy on August 14, 2015, 07:41:15 AM
Allergic but if they ever resolve the "metals in the ink" issue, I would definitely consider it...  I have enough scars on my arm to almost turn it into a scarification piece though!
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: dragonlady on August 14, 2015, 08:42:06 AM
I don't have one but am getting one in the future! My 3 sisters and I are getting Nesting dolls tattoos as soon as I gather up my courage; I'm the oldest so mine will be the biggest ^^;
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: Akemi-chan on August 14, 2015, 09:20:37 AM
Yes, two are always visible; they're of puzzle pieces on each wrist.  When placed next to each other they form a small pic of a Japanese tsunami wave.  I'm leaning towards getting a sleeve.
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: BethyVic on August 14, 2015, 11:14:53 AM
I have one on my left foot.  I like wearing sandals so I can show it off.  I plan on getting more at some point, once my Lupus is under control. 
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: MandarinCupcake on August 14, 2015, 08:39:01 PM
I have one, a simplified constellation of Aquarius under my left collarbone. I got it back in April. I plan to get more! My babe's legs and feet are covered in tattoos, and I love 'em *_____*

Post by: TabbyKitty on August 15, 2015, 01:51:43 AM
I have a couple. One of a shamrock on my shoulder blade & the other on my lower back is my old horses name cause after 20 years of putting up with me he deserved some recognition  :lol:

I personally don't plan on getting any tattoos. I don't mind seeing people with them, though. :) They just aren't for me is all.
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: Sochy on August 16, 2015, 05:26:19 AM
At the moment I dont have any,l but i would love to have one in the future! Maybe in some years when i have a stable job sice tattoos are always a problem when you are searching for one.

A Shark or a lioness whit her cub (for my mom, she is a fierce lioness to me) are my ideas for one!
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: tyleen on August 16, 2015, 05:08:40 PM
I have two. The treble clef and bass clef symbols on my back where my kidneys should be. I got my firdt one before my 21st birthday and the second was a 28th birthday present.
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: starrypawz on August 17, 2015, 12:09:39 AM
Currently no, I have idea of what I'd probably get but I'm not sure if I'd do it. It's not really an option whilst I live with my parents as they're very much not keen on tattoos, or piercings (other than earlobes) or a lot of 'alternative' stuff

My ideas are an old style compass, which is an idea I've had for quite a while, and I'd probably get it as a shoulder or like middle of shoulders piece

Although I've also had ideas for what I think would be a calf piece to get a lemur done, maybe with some Madagascan flowers/plants  since I think the lemurs I volunteer with would make for a rather striking tattoo

Post by: Aienhime on August 17, 2015, 01:01:50 AM
Not in a million years! While I don't mind seeing people with tattoos and everyone should do whatever they want, I personally don't like them at all. I just don't find them appealing, no matter how big or small they are.
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: daffodil101 on August 17, 2015, 04:39:55 AM
I'd never get a tattoo.  If I wanted to experiment a bit and try body modifications, I'd sooner dye my hair crazy colours or get piercings because they're not permanent.

That said, I know of some lovely tattoos that people have.  I think the very simple ones are quite lovely, and I had a friend who lost his dad at 15 and tattooed his dad's name and birth/death dates over his heart which is such a touching tribute.

I think it's cool that tattoos aren't as stigmatised though as they were.  There are a lot of really clever subtle ideas out there that go beyond regrettable bf/gf names and naked chicks.
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: xeevee on August 17, 2015, 08:50:17 PM
I don't, and I probably won't.  I haven't got anything against them.  I do on occasion consider it, but there is no art I've ever seen that makes me want to have it added to my skin.  And then on top of that the cost of them, I'd rather just buy ponies with that money.  Haha.
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: slyons on August 17, 2015, 10:01:54 PM
I have a tribal butterfly on my right calf, my best friend and I both got butterflies of some sort in the same place to signify our long term bff status... And yes, we are still besties going on 29 years  :lol:
I have always had another tattoo planned but too scared to get it done, as my body had such a nasty reaction to my first, my artist suggested that I don't go through with another.   :huh:
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: PinkKayte on August 18, 2015, 02:31:52 AM
I wouldn't consider myself heavily tattooed, but I do have quite a few pieces. I'm currently in the process of a leg sleeve - why they don't call them trousers, I'll never know! - which depicts cute, kitsch and comforting things which play significant roles in my life. I have a large thigh piece of Virginia Woolf, one of my favourite authors, and an author whose work plays a pivotal role in my PhD thesis. I also have two tattoos on my left leg, which will develop into a fairytale sleeve, four on my stomach and one on my shoulder. I predominantly cover all my tattoos, as  they are on areas I don't normally show off, but I do love showing off my leg tattoos in summer.

I know tattoos aren't for everyone, but I see them as part of a process of reclaiming my body and making it my own. Curiously, however, many people can't understand that a disabled person would want tattoos, and they therefore assume that I can't have much pain in my legs! Luckily, though, I have many friends who recognize the fact that my disability and my tattoos are interlinked aspects of me.

"No and never will"  I don't like pain. XD;  Also, they're too permanent.  I will occasionally get temporary airbrush tattoos or henna though.  But I wouldn't pay for a henna though...as I can do that myself (except that I don't know how to make the stuff)

Post by: Miniature Sheep on August 20, 2015, 02:31:46 PM
Oh yes, I love tattoos, although I can fully understand why other people don't like them as well. I currently have 3 tattoos and am planning a fourth; my current pride-and-joy is the compass from the American edition of House of Leaves, which is tattooed on the side of my neck. It's a simple, beautiful design, pertaining to one of my favourite books, and it brings back lovely memories of this Summer temp job I had looking after an art exhibition (becuase one day I finished my shift at the exhibition and then ran straight down to the tattoo parlour to get that particular bit of ink done!) Good times!  :heart:

This is me too. I have seen SO many horribly-done tattoos (especially scary baby faces). However, I LOVE the idea of reconstructive tattooing. If I ever had to have the mole on my face removed I'd try to get it tattoed back on XD

Post by: archidraca on August 21, 2015, 08:52:45 AM
I have two that I designed myself. Just tribal/blackwork as most colors wouldn't show up well on me (too dark and red toned). My youngest says that I have cutie marks that don't match.   ^.^ :heart:  When I got them some spots hurt/burned, some itched, and some tickled. The artist that did my second one said that his wife had said the same thing so placement is apparently key!  :P  I have a western-ish dragon chasing a pearl on one side and a gryphon standing tall on mountaintop for the other. I designed a pegasus around 12 years ago that I haven't gotten around to getting because I can't say I've found a good time for it.  ^^;
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: DazzleKitty on August 21, 2015, 01:20:12 PM
I don't but I REALLY want to get one. My biggest hurdle is that I have a phobia of needles and I don't tolerate pain very well.
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: brightberry on August 21, 2015, 02:53:21 PM
I would but I'm fickled and I don't see myself being happy with whatever I picked as a design months later. 
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: SnorkMaiden on August 23, 2015, 01:43:58 AM
I haven't got any at the moment, but I might get one at some point in the future. What's holding me back so far is the financial aspect, a low tolerance for pain, as well as being unable to decide on what I'd get. If I did get one, I'd want it on my left hip.
Title: Re: *poke*
Post by: JazzMatazz on August 23, 2015, 11:46:35 AM

Post by: Dorothy Rose on August 25, 2015, 07:20:45 PM
I thought I might get one, but I'm very indecisive, so I never settled on a design.  Then I discovered Henna.  Now, I seriously doubt I will EVER get a tattoo.

Pinkie Posh: your plans for a G3 pony sleeve sound fantastic! Which ponies will you choose?
I'm hoping to get a my little pony sleeve eventually, too!

I have a Twilight Sparkle tattoo as part of my right leg sleeve which is currently a work in progress. I've just had a further session connecting parts of this sleeve, but it's currently healing, but when it's finished, I'd be happy to post pictures :)

Post by: Mermaid on August 27, 2015, 04:43:02 PM
I have five.
On my upper thigh on my right leg I have a bee, a cicada, a month, and a beetle all done in a vintage animal book style. (Like autobahn's bird illustrations)

And on my left thigh I have "vita nostra" which is Latin for "our life" meaning this is the way we live and no one else has the same type of life as we do.

I'd get more. I love the water color tattoos that are trendy right now!
