Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Ive been thinking about getting 2 new tats. Both on My left rib cage. One would say The Scariest thing is Excepting Yourself. The other Is Live Life to Impress Yourself. I'm sure some don't like tats but I do. Any ideas? Thinking about doing a sleeve right arm. Maybe a Koi with flowers. Any ideas??

I have five tattoos, now I wish I never got them, but to each his or her own. Make sure whatever you get you can live with.

I am on the cusp of getting another.  Just need the money and time to complete the design

Hell. I want  a face tattoo right now ***never will get one... at least not not***.

I want tattoos so bad though.

Get it, but like another susantuber said, you got to live with it.

I have 4 tats.. one on my lower back (butterfly design with wavy lines), right shoulder blade (A white dove), A small red rose on my right ankle and two dolphins diving down (This one is below my  pantyline, it looks like they want dive down into my vagina).

All my tats are small, besides the lower back one, which is across my entire lower back (Funny enough that was my first tattoo). I love smaller feminine tattoos. I want to get another one or two, just need a spot. I still dont know, maybe a small sheath of flowers around my left arm and something on my one of my breasts. One tattoo I have always liked is a pair of lips on one of my butt cheeks  ;D

Personally I dont think I would ever a get sleeve done, although there are a few designs I have seen which I love. My mother actually has a half sleeve.

My mother and I actually have matching dove tattoo's on our shoulder blades. It was a mother daughter bonding day. My step sister went with as well and also had a dove done. It was a great day, not many women can say they got inked with their mothers.

I'd suggest making that "The Scariest thing is Accepting Yourself"
I've refrained from getting tattoos myself, although the idea of a true kakushibori does intrigue me. There just appear to be very few artists left who can do one, and the cost is quite high.

Mine are old school. A grizzly bear on my left biceps, rose and a name cover up only right biceps, a Viking riding a horse in the clouds with a battle axe in hand on the back of my right arm and a snake wrapped around a skull on my upper back right shoulder. Except for a very faded rose, nothing feminine at all.

I Love tattoos but I'm not a fan of sleeves.  If you're going to get the tattoos you mentioned, please make sure you get your grammar right.  The word should be "Accepting" not "Excepting" unless you're trying to do some play on words there that I'm just not getting.  Don't want to be walking around with a "No Regerts" tattoo the rest of your life :) Small quotes on the ribs sound cute.  However, if these are your first ever tattoos, I'd stay off the ribs.  That's one of the more painful and harder to tattoo areas of the body.

I have a full color floral collage that goes from my butt cheek to almost my armpit.  Was the worst pain ever.  Took 22+ hours over several sessions.
I also have a phrase on my other ribcage ("No Matter What ...") and that was not too bad, tbh.  But, I have had several tattoos, so I knew what I was in for. :)

I love tattoos.  Going to get more. :)

I have several tattoos, and I agree any area that is close to the bone hurts like crazy.  I have ivy around my ankle and when she hit my achilles and ankle bone I almost leaped outta my skin.  But it was totally worth it.  I also love when people get tattoos that are very personal to them.  My two favorite tattoos are be Sugar Skulls that grace the back of my calves.  The one on my left calf actually made the artist's highlight book and website.  :)

I am still planning on another piece for my left arm, but I am not done with the design yet.  Spending too much money on other things right now.

Here is my calf:

Love the skull!!!

Here is a snap of mine my artist took after we finished:
