I had a really ugly scar on my right thigh and I really wanted to find a unique tattoo to cover it up with. Since I have always considered myself a mermaid since I was little I thought getting scales would be cool and its something that almost nobody has. I got a small patch for now but I plan on getting my left leg tattooed as well next summer.

I just got it two days ago so its peeling and looks kinda gross XD when its healed il post another pic

I'm 19 and I just got my first tattoo. It's a winged horse on my upper back. It really didn't hurt much. Since I was alone and it's on my back, I was unable to take pictures. I'll definately be getting a scale tattoo somewhere on me when I can afford it. :)

It looks great! Can't wait to see it again when it's healed. Great way to cover up a scar!

She didn't say whether 30 was her next birthday. Maybe she's 23 and just wants to wait 7 years.

I started getting Tattoos when I turned 45. One a year, thus far. Tattoo #3 coming up, this fall!

Yeah theres a thread for inked mers somewhere around here. Right now I just have the outline done, so I'll have a friend color it in with magic marker and take a picture of what it would look like. :)

Thank you ! My scar would usually get shooped out of my professional pics. but it was really noticeable especially if I was cold, it would turn purple :l

Lol my mom told me to get scales tattooed like a belt around where my tail will end and not to color them but leave them just as a "paint by tail color" tattoo that way when i wear a different color tail i can "paint" my scale tattoos to match and make it look like my scales fade to skin lol my mom

it needs quite a bit of work still, some things need to be tweaked and changed and of course it needs its spots and some color.
