Tattoos.

[Steffen]

I have one on my arm that I did when I was in my 20s. The artist was named Dracula (bet y'all didn't see that coming), and he was a bit snobbish about using electric needles. I sat there for 3 hours reading Heavy Metal magazines while he got it done. It's a skull (fashioned after Slash) with two guitars shaped like crossbones surrounded by flames and "Rock n Roll" underneath. My nieces and nephews still get a kick out of seeing it.

I have a rose on my ankle, done when I was 19. That was as rebellious as I got, a tasteful bit of ink...my fiance at the time got my name in a heart, hoping I'd get his name on me. Good thing I was smarter...broke up with him a couple months later and started dating my (now) husband, which would not have happened if I was "branded" with another dude's name.

Other tattoo is one I designed myself: small heart with mine and hubby's initials on either side. Not visible when I'm clothed.

Looking to get another going down my side, still trying to decide on a quote.

I tattooed myself with blue ink from a Bic and a quilting needle when I was 13. One on my wrist, the other about two inches above. One a name, the other an arrow pirced heart with the appropriate initals. Both were the result of my juvenile naivety and lasted for a fortnight.
In the interim, I began noticing people with tattoos more than I usally would-much like the owner of a new car will easily spot the same model.
It was during this time I had noted a number of elderly folk with tattoos, men and women both, who's sagging skin and fading ink made me reconsider my mawkish and purile affection for a girl that I would likely never spend a lifetime with.
I cut them both out with a hunting knife and packed the wounds with salt (laser surgery was a bit before my time and financially inaccessible anyway).
Yes, I still bear the scars some 37 years later.
I've never considered getting another tattoo since.

Personally, I not a fan of tattoos in general, but some of those new 3-D tattoos are simply amazing.

This was my first. Not a very good tat and I need to get it fixed:

Spoiler

My honu tattoo on the inside of my right ankle. It was both a Mother's Day and uniki gift.

Spoiler

My Rush tat, based on a design from their Clockwork Angels artwork.

I had never heard of tattooing the eyeball. This poor girl is likely to lose her vision. I've put the pic in a spoiler for the eye-squeamish.
