Do you have any tattoos?

[Imadique]

I'm waiting for the artist to get my designs done, he's doing a butterfly playing guitar on my left shoulder and an animated potato chip on my right. They're gonna be scarified too, none of this ink business.

[Kaori]

A tattoo on each shoulder.

Getting them removed most likely, or touched up at the very least..  The only tattoo I actually want is in the back, middle of my neck - Kanji.  Will only show in the summer when I pull up my hair... or am otherwise motivated to.

[Teknoir]

Yeah, I got myself two. Don't think I'll ever have the balls to get them touched up though, so it'll be interesting to see what they look like in ten or twenty years  Too many nerves in there.

Very nice glider!  I also like the placement.

I'm surprised at how many transmen are around in that "subculture" (as much as a loathe that word, I lack a better one).  Surprised in a good way, of course .


I have none at the moment. One day, I want a tesseract.

I'm also considering the Brotherhood of Steel logo (from the Fallout games), and the car from Enduro (for the Atari 2600. I loved that game as a kid). I'm not really sure on either of those though - the Brotherhood logo is getting a little overdone.

[Valentina]

Nope & I never willl because when I go old and wrinkly it will look awful!

[Butterfly]

No.

[Krissy_Australia]

Yep I do

The 4 dots are my kids
the V is my wife (even though we are getting divorced, but she still is my best friend)
and the sought of transgendered symbol is me
It helps me a lot cause when Im feeling down and wanting to be near everyone I just look at my tat
(or get them on Skype lol)

I have a small star on my left hand wrist and I have a small tribal one on the back of my neck. However I am going to get a full sleeve done on my left hand arm after bottom surgery and scarring healing..

I've been surprised too, it gives me hope that if I get a job in the field(s) someday, there will be some amount of acceptance. Oh, and I got it done there because my mother's only 'rule' was that it was somewhere I can hide it easily. Doesn't get much easier than putting on socks, ha ha.

That would be wicked cool. You'll definitely need to post pics if you get it done anytime in the near future.

[Fer]

No way!!!

[Jeannette]

Hell no!

[cynthialee]

I have one. On my left breast. It is a demon in flames surounded by spirits. Looks very manly. Not a tatto a woman would get. I literally was thinking as I got it that it would be the reason I needed to NOT transition. I (wrongly) figured that such a tattoo would make me incapable of facing transition.
what a dweed I was. lol No one sees my breasts except my SO so it is a moot point.

[Naturally Blonde]

No thanks! 

[Blanche]

Never!!

[Natasha]

hahaha you're kidding, right?

[Hannah]

hahaha you're kidding, right?

heh, yeah I think so. I put a little temporary tatoo on my hand and wore it around for a couple days and it didn't look as cute as I thought it would. It did draw attention to my hands which are an attribute of mine, but they are really starting to change a lot now so I think if it ever happens it will be a year or two from now at least. There's the ouch factor two, I'm such a baby that I had to get a bottle of Percocet to be able to finish electrolysis. I dunno if the doc would keep prescribing it just for fun, lol.

[Silver]

I've got four miniscule dots on the back of my right hand.

This Christmas, I got some dip pen handles and various nibs. Now I have a small container of generic calligraphy ink and a glass inkwell of india ink. In my excitement, I dipped a needle-tipped nib into the india ink and stabbed the back of my hand four times. They're still there, and probably will be at least for awhile.

[june bug]

I have a few... 







... and a few more scattered here and there.

Next I'm getting my chest piece coloured and expanded upon... though I also plan on getting a sleeve started from my right wrist up to my elbow... it's going to be traditional chinese "smoke" surrounding stars, and possibly a dragon. <3

I need to save up a lot more money for surgery though before I can start splurging on such things again. 

Oh... and the surface piercing around my neck tattoo is gone (that was from a long time ago)... not to mention the cartilage piercings in my ears (though the plugs are still there).

I've found piercings and tattoos to be very empowering and cathartic experiences during my transition.  Love 'em to death, and a heck of a lot more satisfying then self mutilation!

I'm not a fan of tattoos and I wonder if it's a generation thing as most people of my generation don't seem to have tattoo's or want them?

[tekla]

I wonder if it's a generation thing

yes, it is.  Tattoos in general, but the design and style of them too.  Someone my age would not be sporting some tribal deal, if they had one.

I'm not sure what you mean by tribal deal? But I grew up in the 1970's and not many people had tattoo's done when I was young in the area where we lived.
