they ARE addicting

told that the lower back, in the center was the most painful spot to get a tattoo...well, that was what i was told. i got my first tattoo in that spot with a minimal amount of pain so i thought i was fearless. if i could take that, then i can handle any tattoo. a few months after my first, i decided that it wasn't big enough for me so i was going to add on to it. i already had a tribal sun so i thought of what i could do to it. i had an idea to put ... read more

daddy's little girl gets her first tattoo

wanted a tattoo for as long as i can remember, so when I turned 18, i got sick and tired of begging and pleading. I stood up and said "dad, i'm getting a tattoo whether you like it or not." He looked at me, shook his head in the way that dissappointed parents do, and replied "ok. I'll call Bushman". Bushman is one of his long-time friends, and the best tattoo artist around. He does all of the local biker tattos (which kinda scared me because I thought I was gonna end up with something huge and vuglar), but i ... read more

Celebration of Life and Death Through Love

gust 27, 1999 I got my first tattoo. Ever since I was a little kid I wanted a tattoo and I got in trouble for drawing all over my self and buying those fake tattoos and sticking them all over my 10 year old body. As I grew older I looked at tattoo magazines, tattoo websites (including BME), and talked to people about their tattoos. When I turned 18 the obsession intensified because I was of legal age. I began checking out tattoo studios earlier this year and found the perfect place: Black Cat Tattoo in Kailua, Hawaii (all the ... read more

How I adopted a dragon

rted about two years ago, when I got the urge to get tattooed. I lost track of that idea for some time, but it kept reappearing. Finally, some 7 month from now, I decided to get it done, but what motive, eh? I longed for a dragon, but anyone has a dragon or at least anyone who does not have rose. So I decided to get something else, but what? I happen to like several manga, be it funnies, action-oriented, adult or fantasy, but they did not make good motives. Then I considered some fantasy motives like demons, ironclad knights ... read more

Two of a kind

always been very interested and fascinated by BM and BDSM. Somehow it touches some deeper basic darker part of me. The part of me I love the most. I have been playing with S&M since I was a child, not being aware yet what it was and that it was something special. Most of the partners I have been with went along with me far. But never I had such a mutual feeling of being aware of our darker part as with the women of my ritual tattoo. the tattoo that signed me for who I really am. Both for ... read more

HOW I GOT MY TAIL

Got My Tail Do you, my hypothetical, non-existent reader, have a tail? You heard me. Do you have that distinctive posterior elongation of your animal body? Cola. Schwanz. Rabo. Queue. Call it what you choose. If you, dear creature, can read this page, you most certainly - and most sadly - do not bear a tail. But I do, and it is of my own design, on my torso emanating from the base of my spine and slapping me on my rump. It is the reason I do not care to expose my bottom where others might behold my caudal ... read more

Amy's First Tattoo

t age 13, i wanted to get a tattoo. My mommy always said no, so I gave up, but we were visiting some family in las vegas when i was 14, and I was like "Mom can i get a tattoo"? and i guess thinking ii woudlnt go through with it, she said yes.

My beautiful Dragon

f my friends think I’m immune to pain. I already had 2 tattoo's (a black dragon on my right breast and a green dragon in the center of my lower back) and my tongue pierced and I honestly never felt a thing with any of them, I even fell asleep during my second tattoo. But nothing could have prepared me for my third tattoo. One day I was online talking to a friend about the actual tattooing process. She decided that she wanted to get one and this gave me the restless urge to get a third. So we spent ... read more
