I have 2 tattoos right now, but I have a bunch more planned. I'm working on a sleeve on my left arm My next one is going to be big, taking up most of my upper arm. It's going to be the tomb they laid Jesus in, but looking out from the back of the cave, showing the pedestal where they laid him with the crumpled up burial shroud. At the front of the cave just a portion of the stone the used to seal it, rolled off to the side. Should be really cool.
I've dedicated my left arm to my faith. The cross I have is Celtic so I got a little of my heritage mixed in. I still have a small area on my forearm I'm not sure what to do with. I had a great idea one point but I should have written it down.
-
Not sure if I will ever get it but one I have had in mind for the last 15 years, is a heart, pierced by a wooden cross, with a crown of thorns wrapped around the two (kind of holding the cross in there) with the words, "no greater love". I think the meaning of my faith is pretty clear there. Though I don't know if I will get tattooed (never had piercings either) and I grew up knowing my father regretted his tattoo from his army days (but it wasn't something that had real meaning to him)
-
I think for most people who regret their tattoos it's because they were not thought out in advance. Either they were done spur of the moment, because of peer pressure or (if the artist isn't moral) they were drunk. It sounds like you have a fantastic idea for a tattoo that you would treasure because it would mean so much to you. I love my tattoos for the same reason.
If you do decide to get a tattoo I would advise you to do your research. Look at the ink that some of your friends have, look closely, and if it looks good you might want to go where they did. If you were in the Detroit area I'd have a great recommendation.

I am currently working on finishing an entire back tattoo. Doing a session on it every week.
Meanwhile, I really want to do a half sleeve on my left arm, but I am moving to Florida for four months Jan1 and don't know of any really great tattoo artists there that I can trust with it.
Next summer when I return to Chicago for five months I will begin a full chest tattoo. But this can't be completed in just five months, so it may take a year to complete.

Planning for my nickname inked but not sure where to put it lol.
-
Dont have any tattoos currently, althiugh i occasionally wear temporary ones to help me decide on a style and where i want it. But for several years now ive been thinking of some sort of capricorn tattoo, to symbolize my zodiac sign, most likely on the left pectoral muscle, possibly an actual sea goat design, with the tail wrapping around my shoulder and down my arm. Anothervthought ive been having recently is the new trend of biomech tattoos, perhaps to eventually compliment the other one after i finally get it, this time going on my right forearm

I have five so far. I want one 30 year old one touched up. I will get a skull with a Headress and a skull with a Norman Helmet (on each calf) to represent my ancestors. I also would like to have a maple leaf tattoo. I want to get a tattoo of a raven going down the back of my forearm. But putting my kid through college right now, so I can't justify spending that much at this time. Here is some of my recent ink. I did not include two old ones that need to be re done.

I currently have two planned. One is a compass rose on my left forearm while the other involves expanding a current tat into a half sleeve.
-

@Stanley those are sweet!

be advised that if you a tattoo it is hard to stop with just one - same with pierces.

I currently have five tats. My plans are to have one on my right forearm expanded into a half sleeve and also put a compass rose on my left forearm.

I currently enjoy my life much more with these weight loss pills (https://www.muscleandfitness.com/supplements/best-weight-loss-pills-for-women/) and have five tats. My plans are to have one on my right forearm expanded into a half sleeve and also put a compass rose on my left forearm.
I'm planning a tat if my grandfather's home country (Croatia) wins the World Cup. It's quarterfinals and we're still in. lol
-
Oh wow, i have the entire body planned out but I am flat broke for a while. completed the entire back last year. This year I am finishing my left half sleeve and beginning my Pe'a. next year we start the front side of the torso.
-
I recently did a tattoo on my left shoulder, this tattoo, in my opinion, reflects our world. There is a chain on it written FOREVER, near the chain of angels, it looks beautiful
-
I already have 12 tattoos, but I'm trying to do all 30 MLB ballparks and want to get each team's logo tattooed as I go to each stadium. I've actually done 7 stadiums so far (including my home team of Toronto) and already have plans to do 4 more in the first few months of the season. I hope to get the tattoos in the next month or two.

I am still working on my right half sleeve it’s being done and photo realism so it’s taking many hours to do it. I am hoping to be able to finish the half sleeve this summer
meanwhile I have an artist from the Philippines doing the drawings are working up the stencils for my full pay a tattoo and I hope to start that as soon as I can find an artist who is willing to tattoo that a entire area of the body . if there were any way possible I’d like to get back to Cuba to get it done because the tattoo artist there are struggling in a couple of them are really really good.
I was in Cuba in October and got two large new tattoos while I was there the work is just excellent and the price is incredibly cheap. but in Cuba there’s no Internet and no advertising so you have to know somebody who knows somebody who can take you to the really good guys because it’s not even the government approved industry
-
Love when the sleeves have a theme.
-
well the guy was going to do but he ate two is backed out of the project and the guy who’s finishing my left half sleeve so she doesn’t have any more appointments available till September and he will not start any new projects for another two years because he’s booked up for two years.
so I’m really looking for a new guy because I really want to get going on fit of the stuff I want to do my entire front torso and I want to get it started now
