Feel free to post a pic 

I think they are kind of cool, but somehow I made it through life so far without getting any, not even an eagle, globe and anchor.

Post transition I have been thinking of getting a rose thingy tatooed around my waist because I used to be really fat and I'll be needing an abdominoplasty and it's accompanying nasty scar to get rid of the skin if it doesn't all go away *crosses fingers* I'm planning to have Dr. Suporn just do that while he's down there.

I'm thinking about getting a little heart on the meaty part of my hand. I'm also thinking about permanent eyeliner, but I'm having my forehead and orbital rim worked on next year so I don't want to do it until after that.

So do you have tattoos? Do you think they're pretty/cool/masculine/feminine?

Thirty years ago, when I was a sailor stationed in Arizona (long story), I got a sea serpent tatooed on my right bicep.  It's a little faded but still very much there.  I certainly wouldn't do it now, and often am reluctant to expose it now that I'm Kate, but people have seen it while I'm the new me and think it is cool.  (Or at least the young people do. )

When I came home with my sea serpent, my then-wife was so jealous she got a snake bracelet tatooed around her left bicep.  (She was working as a bellydancer at the time.)  She's since had it touched up, so that it is still nice and bright.

Frank: Do you have any tattoos, Brad?
Brad: Certainly not!

Got a flaming runestave on my neck, a chinese symbol (proof I survived the 90's) on my shoulder, and yes... A Unicorn on my lower back. A tramp stamp..

I designed two of these myself.
They represent parts of my life and the things that highlight them and carry messages from that era to my present, like a permanent "note to self".

I plan to get a full back, shoulders, upper arms, and more done, at later points in life.

No, but since beginning transition, I'm more open to the idea. Lower back or ankle maybe.

No


good show alyssa

Yes.

Two made by a good friend. A bird flying among the stars (on my forearm) and a Janus mask with his name and my another friends name there (on the side of my calf).

and Yes. I was highly intoxicated when this happened 

Don't regret it though. Sides' they're not very big.

Yep got 2.
one on my back & one one my shoulder.

I secretly wanted to get a tattoo (or several) when I was younger but I never felt I'd be able to get a tattoo I'd really want and would be so disappointed later on post transition with some ugly tattoo. now I'm pretty much over the whole tattoo thing. I would never be able to decide on something that's with me forever anyways, lol.

I would like to get one on my back between my shoulder blades, and maybe a band of some sort around one or both biceps. But not until after lower surgery and not until I've lost some weight.

No I managed to avoid that somehow, not sure, everyone around me woke up with them at some point, and for years I had access to a reall good old school artist but I've never had anything that I want to say forever.

Except this, you have to love the U.S. Military
a sailor stationed in Arizona  I'm sure there is a very good reason for it, but its funny to think of a sailor in a land-locked state, one that is pretty much all desert at that.

No.

For myself I've never really seen the attraction. But each to their own. Some of my freinds have some really nice ones. But personally I think it is one of those situations where simple and subtle looks far better than massive and complex.

Yes  a little palm tree on my ass

It's faded, and not particularly feminine, but ...

Well, of course! Arizona faces a formidable threat from a large and imposing neighbor on the far shore of Lake Havasu, a neighbor which attempts a week-long amphibious invasion each spring.

I think that's neat, Kate. It might not be Barbie material but that hooter certainly is 

This is kind of like what I was thinking, except unwound from Terras arm and wrapped around my waist.

I've got one on my right arm. It is for a lost loved one. It is gender neutral.

I'm actually working on designing my next one. This one it going to be a butterfly that is blue and pink. I'm still undecided on where to get it. Thinking about my left shoulder.

No, but I am planning to get Starfleet and Federation logo tattoos somewhere on my body because I am a huge Star Trek fan...

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.



I do plan on getting more. I want a twirl of flying bird silhouettes high centered on my chest (trying to figure out where they won't get messed up by top surgery, or if I need to wait) and a full-back tattoo of a willow tree. That one'll take a bit of savings. *stares forlornly at his empty coin-can*

Three a Cambodian design on my bicep, a USMC one on my back (fading luckily) and one of Jiminy Cricket (too much to drink while in the military).
