IF I were to ever choose getting one THAT one would be it. That looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOO awesome! You'll have to take a pic of yours. I'd be interested to see how they incorporated letters into yours!!!

I love it too, especially since I know it was something my daughter designed. Contrary to how it looks, it does not say satan. My kids initials are A, T, K, N, but because of the placement between the two S like designs, at a glance that's how it looks. So here's mine...


And here's my daughters again for comparison...

I had gotten the tribal part of this tattoo several years ago with a shooting star through it and it just didn't turn out well. I knew I wanted a phoenix. So I spent some time shopping around and looking at thousands of photos of other tattoos. And I asked people whenever I saw work I liked who did theirs. After about three years I found an artist whose work I had seen on someone else. I met with him and told him basically what I wanted included but then gave him free license with design. I actually had something a little different in mind but when I saw what he had designed I loved it. He's very good. Everything he does turns out beautifully and he's great at making designs feminine or masculine and designing tattoos to fit the body that they're on. There are all kinds of stories on what the phoenix represents and I've yet to find one I don't like. The lotus/water part came from a dream I had.

I have these tattoos on my lower back. There's really no story behind my butterfly tattoo...I just thought it was pretty. The Chinese symbol means mother.

I can't get Satan out of that? Did someone tell you it looked like those letters? Very nice, however, (don't be mad )but I think I like it better without color like your daughters. Is she adding color to hers?

i think she added some not long after I did. BTW, that's great that you can't see it! When I was looking at it printed on the paper after he drew it in there, I saw it. I turned it around to show him and my daughter and asked what they saw and the tatooist immediately said, "oh wait, I can fix that", I just told him to leave it. I liked the way it looked anyway.

I have 11, but a few of them really suck, so until I get them covered or embellished or something, I won't be showing those off.

bluebirds on my chest


lily on my arm - freshly done, hence the red and swelling!


butterfly, my birthday tattoo from last year


art nouveau on my right leg


edward gorey cats on my left leg... i just got these done last week... and once again, this is a freshly-done picture, hence the redness and weirdness.


"of" on my ankle, as part of the skin project (and one awesome pair of shoes, haha)

I think my fav is the art on your right leg. That's pretty.
All of the others are very well done I must say! The cats are cute too.

I've had some truly talented artists work on me. I've got some bad tattoos too, but thankfully they're small. LOL!

Thanks!
