Here is my first tattoo, just had it done yesterday. It's on my right leg down close to my ankle.

OK, here's my first tatt. It needs some touching up. Probably won't use the same guy again. Looks a little sloppy to me. Maybe some fixing needed.

I'm at work.. so I can't post pictures right now..

but I have 4 tattoos...

dove with an olive twig, really detailed.. on my lower back, the left side

kanji symbol for courage on my right thigh (about to add to it by putting cherry blossoms on my right side/ribs.. above it)

I have plaid stars on my right leg and "walk by faith" on my left foot.. along the side

I love tattoos, they are so addicting

Tattoos are really disgusting.

They can be if you get something that looks bad or that's dumb.. I think they are great, it can be a beautiful piece of art put on your body

When you get a tattoo, you just have to make sure you know for sure that is what you want.. and it's always better if there is some value or meaning behind it..

and also, make sure you get someone who does great work to do it.. some people get tattoos just to get them, and some people see it as a form or art and that's why they are into it..

I agree. I'm not interested in getting tatted-up myself but I can appreciate finely done body art. I find irezumi especially fascinating.

Oh yes.. I was an apprentice at a tattoo shop for about 8 months before I joined the army. I loved it.. I saw alot of amazing Japanese tattoos
