When I finely came of official tattoo age (18 here in Sweden), I had realized that deciding a tattoo design wouldn't be that easy...obviously. I'd been changing taste, placement and design almost on a yearly basis, sometimes as often as every other day. So not wanting to end up with something I would regret a month later, I decided to wait until one design had stuck it's place for at least a year. This did not seem to want to happen, so 2 years later, still with this in my mind, I went ahead and made my first tattoo on ...

What better way to represent a sport that let me beat up girls for free? I guess I shouldn't say it was free. Joining roller derby did come with a price. I had to sweat my ass off and get yelled at by someone old enough to be my mom twice a week. I had to dress up like a zombie once a month and cover my pretty face with fake blood. I had to willingly let these insane, highly aggressive women attack me and hope I didn't break a bone in the process. In the end I guess you ...

I've been with my boyfriend for almost 2 years now. Recently there has been a couple of tattoo parties thrown at my house and all i could do was watch everyone's face in pain as they got their beautiful piece of art, on their bodies. I thought long and hard to myself, and made a promise to never get a tattoo until im way older because of the pain that I saw in others faces. I was scared no doubt. And the noise of the machine was intimidating. I love my boyfriend with all my heart and he is an ...

I was actually just 14 when I had my first tattoo, just over 9 months ago. However I had had the idea many months before that even, which is quite a bit ambitious for a year 9. The idea was stolen from a friend, who had a legitimate and charming plan to get a tattoo of an American eagle on her thigh, to celebrate her mother's heritage. Not to be outdone, I decided to get a tattoo also. The next step was to decide on what. This was very important to me, because despite being ridiculously stupid for wanting a ...

So I've wanted to get a tattoo for a long time, but unlike the majority of my peers I didn't rush into a tattoo place on my eighteenth birthday. I knew that I should wait to be absolutely sure it's something I wanted and that I had the money to spare. I've tossed a bunch of ideas around, but it wasn't until a few months ago that I had narrowed it down to two designs. I wanted either a celtic heart knot or a forget-me-not. Both have a significant meaning to me, and I knew that I could confidently get ...

On September 22, 2008, my Grandma took me to Europe. Now, I'm 18, and the farthest I had been was Minneapolis. Being born in Winnipeg did not leave me with a worldly air, but instead made me desperate to travel. In Germany, I knew I wanted to have my first tattoo. An aunt, who I had met only days before, called the family tattoo artist and he booked me in. My grandma, on the other hand, was having a fit. She did not want me to get one at all. It goes against everything she believes in. Well, we traveled ...

So, for my birthday, my mother took me to get a tattoo. I was hoping she would come with me because it was going to me a lot to me... I have been through so much in my life and this tattoo was sort of like a stepping-stone for me, a way to reach the future. And my mother has been going to the same place for her tattoos, all nine of them, for years. So, the day came and we went. It was like a family outing... My cousin also went to get her third tattoo and my mother ...

I understand that this story is to be about one mod only, however to me, these two small tattoos are one and the same only representing different aspects. I had always wanted tattoos and piercings since I was about 5. It has just always been something I wanted to be a part of my life and when I was 14 or 15 I jumped at the chance to have my friend Chris do it for me. Just to give you a little background, leading up to this point, I was staying in Orange County with a group of kids I ...

Du plus loin que je m'en souvienne, j'ai toujours été intéressée par les modifications corporelles. Bien qu'ayant seulement 18 ans, mon corps porte déjà plusieurs stigmates de modifications plus ou moins réussies ! Une des premières a été mon tatouage pour mon anniversaire, le jour de mes 14 ans. A cette époque je ne m'intéressais pas autant au tatouage qu'aujourd'hui. N'empêche que j'en voulais un. Par caprice ? Peut-être. Un mois avant l'acte, je fouillais dans tous les magazines de flash pour trouver un motif un temps soit peu plaisant. Mon père était décédé un an et demi plus tôt ...

This past weekend, I got my first tattoo. I've been very into piercings lately. I got my first a few years ago and have slowly been accumulating them ever since. I had always wanted a tattoo, but never had the money or a design I was happy with. So instead I let piercings be my main modification outlet. They're relatively inexpensive and impermanent. No big deal. The decision to get my first tattoo was an easy one. I had planned out a gorgeous chest piece, consisting of two rabbits (one on either side of my chest.) I had planned for ...
