Title: Tattoos
Post by: tiger on January 24, 2010, 07:22:23 PM
I've currently got one tattoo and I'm thinking about getting another one. My current one is on my right bicep. I got it before I realized who I really was. Unfortunately it shows when I have girl t-shirts on. It is  sentimental to me, so it isn't like I hate it or anything.

I'm going to get my avatar one me somewhere any idea on where is should get it?

I was thinking on my upper center back. Either way both tats will show when I'm wearing a cami or swim suit. I just need to keep them covered for corporate america.

The butterfly is for being transgender and the hearts are for my two children.

Hugs, Jenny

I am probably going to get a tattoo. Just a very simple and small black one below waistline in Roman Numerals: MMIX or MMX. I'm leaning to MMIX since I started HRT on Dec. 23, 2009. Just as a commemoration of the year that I truly changed my life for the better.

I have one on my right bicep that I got when I was a sailor stationed in Arizona (long story).  I got it there so that I could cover it when I wanted, but girl t-shirts expose most of it.  I'm used to it now (got it in '79).

I never understood getting a tattoo where you can't see it, but I agree it shouldn't be someplace that you can't hide when you want (like your jaw).

Just 2 cents from an old broad. ;)
