Il faut commencer par dire que je suis une fan inconditionnelle de Tinkerbell (alias la fée clochette dans Peter Pan). J'ai tout a propos de cette petite fée et je me suis dit qu'un tatouage ne ferait que confirmer ma passion pour ce personnage. De plus, elle représente pour moi le fait de rester jeune, de ne jamais perdre mon cur d'enfant. Elle me ressemble un peu aussi, elle ne peut vivre qu'une émotion à la fois à cause de sa petite taille et parfois je me sens comme si je ne pouvais ressentir qu'une chose à la fois. Cette ...

After wobbling back and forth for a decade, my husband sealed the decision. Four weeks and I was to see Julie at New Moon for my first tattoo. The art was custom done (I'm a graphics designer) - a dragon (one of my totems) curled around my bass, which was rendered beautifully by Julie. When I showed up at New Moon, the staff was very professional, and one of them noted the band t-shirt I was wearing that day - it turned out that Julie was two degrees of separation between their guitarist - knowing a vocalist he had worked ...

So I have always been into piercings so stepping up and deciding to get a tattoo should not have been hard right? So wrong... For my 1st I decided to get a Pink Breast Cancer Ribbon along with two purple stars. After my Godfather Ronnie died when I was in the tenth grade I knew that I wanted to honor him in someway. Ronnie had a Blue rose tattoo on his arm that always captivated me. My first design was a purple ribbon (Purple being for all cancer) with his name and dates inside. Little after his death however my ...

New School Birds Op 24 april 2008 had ik een afspraak gemaakt met Gert van Karot's Tattoos. Na een maand op en af gelopen te hebben voor de uiteindelijke tekening, was het dan zover. Ik was er tevreden over en die dag zouden de outlines op mijn voeten terecht komen. Ik had gekozen voor twee vogeltjes met een banner in het snaveltje. Op de banners moesten dan "mom" en "dad" komen te staan. Ook had ik er voor gekozen om de vogeltjes verschillend te laten tekenen en dat verschil is te zien in de vleugels en de banners. De vleugels ...

Let me start off by saying that three years or four ago, I absolutely hated tattoos and piercings. I'd look at a person and cringe if I saw and tattoo and say biting, sarcastic things in my head if I saw people with multiple body art. That was then at sixteen or seventeen. When I was eighteen I read a book called Kushiel's Dart where the main character has a very distinctive tattoo (called a marque in the books) that spans from the base of her spine to the nape of her neck I fell in love with. I began ...

I love Stargazer lilies; they're my favorite flower. So, from boyfriends and my father I would these beautiful flowers on Valentine's day and other celebratory days (like landing a job, etc). However, early this year I noticed pollen on my kitten and freaked - I had known in the back of my mind that lilies were poisonous to cats, but had never really thought of it. After scrubbing down the kitten (and recieving upwards of 20 scratches and bites for my hard work) I decided to finally get my tattoo that I had wanted for years: stargazers on my ribs. ...

My tattoo experience doesn't start the day I got the tattoo, or as something I have wanted since I was a little girl, it actually starts when I moved to Medicine Hat. Before I moved here I had done all my homework, picked out the perfect artist around where I used to live and was stoked for the day I turned 18 so that he could put this beautiful and extremely large piece of art across both sides of my ribs. That all changed less than a month before my birthday, we moved to Medicine Hat and from there I ...

"I've always wanted a tattoo". Everyone says that. For ages I fancied a tiny bird silhouette on my foot, but as I came nearer to getting one I changed my mind. Now I'm glad I did because I think that such a small and simple shape would've seemed really insubstantial on its own. I eventually decided I wanted a tattoo of a deer, a red deer stag to be precise, because they're native to Britain and I really like them. I could say it was to represent power, beauty and freedom, but i think I'll leave people to infer whatever ...

..And I don't just mean that in a cutesy "because if I didn't get this tattoo, there's be nothing for you to read, hardee-har-har." If you can read this, you're obviously familiar with the letters that comprise the written English alphabet. And that's what my tattoo is of. Backstory time! A couple of years ago, I was browsing though the Lettering Tattoos section on BME (as I am wont to do, being a big fan of text tattoos) when I came across an alphabet tattoo. Had I been a Tex Avery cartoon wolf, my heart would have jumped from my ...

I was 21, and my best friend, Val, was only a year older. At this point, we both had two tattoos, and longed for more - preferably getting them together at Wingnut, which we considered 'our' studio. However - Val was moving across the country soon and then shortly after that, I would moving across the country, too - and nowhere near the same part of the country as her. We needed to do something to keep us 'connected': like a tattoo. But what? We actually only ended up discussing it over the course of a few days - it ...
