I have quite a few tattoos and I've posted some of them before as I got them but not all in one post. I'm still not going to post all of them, just the ones I can easily find photos of. My mom hates that my little brother and I both have a bunch of tattoos but I really enjoy them.
Frida Kahlo, another woman I admire for her passion and talent. Sorry the photo is a little pixel-y, it was taken on my cell phone. Which by the way, stopped working the other day so I have a loaner phone straight from 1995 and the only ringtones downloaded on it are Nickelback. I swear someone hates me.
This is a Sailor Jerry peacock that I had done in more modern colors. I have a thing for peacocks. They're so beautiful and vibrant.
This is my sugar skull drawn for me by Steve Fuller at Southside Tattoo in Ashland, OR. He is the amazing talent that did all of these tattoos for me. We gave the skull a pop art inspired background so it would fit in with the sun I had done a long time ago.
I always love peoples' expressions when they find out I have tattoos. One of my old bosses didn't even know for about 2 years and then didn't believe me until I showed him. When I got Frida done, my district manager didn't notice her for about a year because I was always wearing cardigans. One day I took off my cardi and he was blown away that I had a tattoo. I guess I don't come across as the tattoo kind but now-a-days it seems like everyone has some ink so I don't think you can really peg someone as a "tattoo type of person" anymore.
haha, no one ever believes me when I tell them I have tatts, too. It's the cardigans, plus we probably look too sweet and innocent to be tatted up. I love your Frida!
ReplyDeleteI love that you have tats!! Much to the dismay of my hubs, I have three...yes, me, a Gramma with ink!
ReplyDeleteGot my first about 4 years ago and the other two after that; one one each shoulder and one on the back of my neck. All are Celestial and were designed by a friend who owns a fab tattoo studio in Ibor City, Florida.
I'll have to take pics and post them at some point.
The Peacock is gorgeous! How long did that take and...how uncomfortable was it?
i have three myself. but i think i'm done. your peacock is pretty!

ReplyDeleteI would have never guessed you had these either! But that is some beautiful work done there :)1
ReplyDeleteI like the colors of the peacock. I am too indecisive to get a tatoo. I would change my mind every week about what want.
ReplyDeletei love all of those tattoos!!!
ReplyDeletexoxo friend
Great tats. Love, love, love the peacock ... :0)
ReplyDeleteI think you should get I {HEART} SOLANA MEI across your forehead...
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I've seen these pics before and probably commented.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ink though!
People are often shocked that I have tattoos too. Especially when I tell them my boyfriend's a tattoo artist and they look at me and said 'Well why don't YOU have any tattoos?' Because clearly, if they can't see them, they must not be there!
