These are from 1977..ones a tiger swallowtail, the other is a kite swallowtail..Got the kite swallowtail then decided later I needed one for the other arm, the tiger swallowtail.
 I wanted to be like "Papillon" but there was to much hair on my chest. The tattooist said it wouldnt have been able to be seen if I put it on my chest...So, then i decided to be like "Kung Fu" and had these put on my forearms
 It is true that after years the ink will blend, so be sure to get something you can live with!

Your folks are making you do it? I thought you said you were 30yo.

Yes I am turning 30 and no they're not making me, they're encouraging me.  I've always wanted one and my folks brought up the idea last week as a birthday gift.  I could say no but I do want this.

I always felt that getting a tattoo was a rather immature way of showing that you were an adult.

I'm not trying to show anyone that I'm an adult by getting a tattoo.  I know I'm an adult by holding a good honest job, paying my taxes, and providing life's necessities for my two small children and wife.

I agree, a tattoo is not for everyone.  I find some tattoos to be very beautiful and can show a lot about who a person is.  It's just like a dandelion.  For some, it's hard to see the flower in these weeds.  To each his own I guess.

Hey guys LOVE this string. Here is a picture of my tattoo.  It is on my left shoulder and I got it about 4 years ago.  I love history and thought this was a really cool way to portray it on my body.  I don't think this is too high quality of a pic so sorry in advance.....

[Scadsobees]

Whatever you do, pick something that you won't regret in 30 or 40 years....don't get a bird if you don't like pteradactyls...

[poka-bee]

Sean, how exciting!  Are you going to Jeff here in Buckley? Can I watch??  BWAHAHA!!   I'll tell you right now that the top of the feet smart a bit!  Here are mine (yes, plural).  One pertains to bees, funny, I got it 3 years ago & didn't get bees till this year!  The bee looks so happy, makes me feel good to look at it!  J

That is definitely unique.

I understand this.  I've seen my grandfather's tattoo he got in Pearl Harbor.  His hula girl looks like a hula blob.  It happens.  I'm choosing to get a celtic cross which represents my irish heritage and my faith.  It's something I will not regret.

Sean, how exciting!  Are you going to Jeff here in Buckley? Can I watch??  BWAHAHA!!

Heck yeah!!!!  Come on down and take pics!!!  No I'm not gunna go to Jeff in Buckley.  My family has always used Jason Danger from Ink City Tattoos in Bonney Lake and that's who I'm gunna go to.

Here's what my tat will sorta look like.  I'm gunna add my daughters names somewhere in there too.


Love the pictures guys!!!  Keep em coming!!!

I'm not reading any other posts untill I find a way of expanding that picture from dayvalleydahlias. 
I have tried, as if that was going to happen.   

I think you guys are being suckered

Looking for a Tat?

I found this place. You find one you like, print it out, probably after purchasing, and take it to your local body desecrator

 Hey Mary!
 Did you know that that tattoo is "Rosy the Riveter"?
She was an icon from World War 2.  Back during that war a lot of women went to work for the war effort while their men were sent to fight.
 When I got my first tattoo I was immature...When I got my last tattoo I was immature...Now though,......I'm still immature
 A guy named Johnny Shiloh did my first tattoo...He was the president of the local chapter Rogues MC......About 10 years later I got  tat of a skull, crossbones, and a motorcycle chain wrapped around...This tattoo was done by Shilohs father, Barney Shiloh, a life long Hells Angel member. Then, years later I had it covered up with flowers..It was a really cool tattoo, but at that time I read in the bible that I wasnt supposed to mark myself with signs or symbols of death...So, now,.....I got a rose, a turtle with a long neck(cartoon), a crescent moon smokin' a joint, the cover up with flowers right about the moon, another flower on my left chest, and on my right chest I have an Orca!( because they had no dolphins)...oh yeh,...and the 2 butterflies
 The moon and the flowers are hard to distinguish now, probably because of all the fishing and exposure to sun.
 Go for it Sean!!! Seems like you have thought hard as to what this tattoo represents!
Cant wait to see it! Take a camcorder with you if you can cuz this will be something to look back on!

your friend,
john

My mother was a "Rosy the Rivetor" Building B17's and B-29's during WWII while my father was fighting in the South Pacific.  She was pretty HOT in her day but nothing like that Tattoo.  I still maintain, regardless of how pretty the picture a tatto still makes an unsightly, distracting, body ornament.

BTW, a week before my Dad passed away I finally got the complete story of the "Great Raid," the POW release at Cabantuba, Philipines; seems he was the source of the Guards watching American planes as long as they were over the camp. 
He tried to sneak up on the POW camp at sundown after watching and gather info ofr 5 days.  The guards spotted some movement in the rice patties while he was trying to creap up on it and they sent out a search party.  A japanese soldier stepped between his outstretched arms, inches from his nose, as he lay immobile trying to go unnoticed.
He should have gotten the CMH (others got it for less) for his role in the action but thanks to LTC Musey all he got was an unnamed source.
He was also involved in a POW liberation in New Guinea prior to that.

Mary, I totally agree with Jody, your tat is a thing of beauty....

Jody, when you said that tattoos on the top of the feet hurt, I thought you mean right on the front of your foot and thought that was the weirdest place for a tattoo, but what am I to say about anything.  Now I see that you meant the ankle.  I love your tattoos, they are very beautiful.  I agree with the pain.  When I got the tat on my ankle, I honestly was near crying and almost could not go through with it.  Sounds babyish, but I have an extremely, and I  mean extremely high tolerance to pain, but for some reason that is the most incredibly sensitive place to have a tattoo engrave, hee, hee.  I have also heard that the inside of the bicep and the ribs are also very, very painful places to have work done, eeks!!!  Never goin' there. 

Bring on the pictures of the tattoos so many of us have!!!  We wanna see them!!!  Have a most wonderful day and life, love life, and great health wishes to us all.  Cindi

Hey John I did know the history behind the picture and that is the reason I chose it.  I really enjoy WWII history especially.  Your tattoos are nice too....actually everybody that has posted has great tattoos.  The tattoo of Rosie the Riveter took 3 hours to finish and that was 3 hours straight no breaks.  I would love to get the Uncle Sam poster on my other shoulder but am still waiting for the white ink to get a little better before I do that.

I have a temporary bee tattoo on my hand, but I wouldn't recommend it. 

I'm a bluegrass banjo player too but I don't have any tattoos of them.  I do have a yard full of them though.  In fact, the bees feed on the flowers from the banjo garden beds.

Lone, banjo, bluegrass, that is wonderful, I love that!!!  I kid you not!!!  Banjo is the most coolest of instruments.....Why don't you tell us a little bit about the banjo garden beds....you have left a mystery here, and I need to know what you got goin' on down there.  Pleeeeeze.  Don't leave a mystery, I am too nosey for that and I need to know, hee, hee.  I have these mountains of images, in my mind's eye, and I have no where to finish them off because I have no clue what your banjo gardens would be all about,  Oh, if you had any pictures, that would be even better, we all would love to see these things!!!  Have a most wonderful and awesome life and day, great health wishes to us all.  Cindi
