Yes. Your logic is sound and I couldn't agree more.

I have tattoos that are not exactly something that you would expect on a mermaid. Quite honestly they aren't every ones cup of tea either but I have never had any issues with them while working parties or event. 90 percent of the time the kids don't bother to notice anything past the fact I have a tail. When they do I usually just tell them that pirate friends did them so I could remember a story. It won't let me up load the photo but I have half a back with crumbling lovers a giant dead tree that wraps around my ribs down to a cemetery with a dragon hidden in it. I also have an ankle tattoo but invisible in tail doesn't matter much
Heehee, I like that train of thought, Mary Marine!
EnidDarkWater; I *totally* want to see that tattoo! :D

She's just a little one. Designed by my friend Lilly and tattooed at Idle Hands in Preston England. Lilly cried when I told her I'd got it, she was so happy someone would get a tattoo of her art. It's my little mark to remember her beautiful face and kind heart by.
Awesome!
Really like it.
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/03/8utu5ave.jpg I just got this two weeks ago! The color is MUCH more vibrant now that it's peeled and is healing over! I'm thinking of giving him a name haha
~Mermaid Sirenia~
OH MY GUSH Savannah that's so beautiful! I love the style you chose! And those adorable spots, ermahgerd...
Thanks Miyu! The spots was just my artist being creative, he wanted to include my freckles somehow :) I'm so happy with it!
~Mermaid Sirenia~
They do tend to have personalities. :) My GPO is Aurora, named for the very inspiration behind the design. My weedy seadragon is Chester... he is on my chest after all. My mermaid is Emana, a combination of my two youngest daughters' names. The critters on my sargassum sleeve.. well, I'm sure they'll chime in before long.
I can relate to all you! I love tattoes! I watch in tv some tv show. But I can't have a tatto for my fibromialgya.

I have several tattoos. I have a carousel horse, a zombie kitten and a desd doe under a banner dedicated to my son on one arm. I have two rows of script, Quenya and binary code, on my wrist. A t - Rex on my shoulder blade and a rose on the back of my hip. So far, the only complaints I've had about them are from my boss. I want more, I have two half sleeves and a rib piece on the drawing board at the moment, and I'm SURE I won't stop there.
Starting my first sleeve tattoo this coming January! I'm waiting til then so I have more time to save up for it. It's going to be a nautical themed sleeve
~Mermaid Sirenia~
I don't have any tattoos. Piercings are more my thing. I've got my navel, left tragus, orbitals on both lobes, and then regular lobe piercings.
I can't see why that octopus is screwed up. I think it looks so cool.
Thanks lovely. I'm probably just being overcritical ;)
I deleted the post because I used the wrong pictures SO I'm attaching them to this reply. Whoops lol.
My shark and janky octopus ;;

whats so janky about the octopus?? it looks amazing o-o
I think what bothers me the most is the blue rings, they look wonky -- especially the ones in a figure eight/infinity sign shape. Again though, I'm probably just being overcritical of myself. :lol: I'm going to expand on it anyway, I just have no idea how yet. :$
well you could make the legs a little longer :o other than that it looks amazing already!
Awesome octo. I just thought the blue infinities were two rings close together on his arms. He's reaching up with one arm; maybe he's reaching for some delicious fishes?
I love this tattoo! I haven't gotten a tat in ages And I would love an octo!
I'm thinking of getting a second one. Not sure what to get though..
Scheduling an appointment to get my second tatt in january[emoji16] it's also going to be the first part of my first sleeve!!(I plan on getting sleeves on both arms)
Anyways this sleeve is going to be victorian themed, and the piece I'm getting will be a shoulder piece that goes across my chest, and it's inspired by phantom of the opera!
~Mermaid Sirenia~
Oooh Sirenia, a PotO-inspired piece?!? I've got one I'm going to get as well! I'm pretty much waiting for my first swim in-tail to get any more tats, as it takes ~6 weeks to heal before I can go swimming, so I don't want to get more ink until after I get at least one good swim in this year!
Can I ask what it's going to look like? I'm always super-intrigued by PotO tattoos, since there's not many out there :3
Personally I've always been really intrigued by tattoos, and having two myself I find them very much an artistic way of expression. They are all part of a mermaid's image and individuality.
So this is sort of what it will look like, except I will be changing it up a bit (I'm not a fan of having other people's tattoos lol) the roses will be a bit different and I'll be adding black lace, considering the background (?) of my sleeve will be black lace and red roses :)http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...27de41757c.jpg
~Mermaid Sirenia~
I hope that showed up alright lol
~Mermaid Sirenia~
Erik!!! Phantom!!!
Eeep!
OOoOH, that's going to be awesome!!! I'm actually getting ready to re-read PotO (...as I sit here playing with my chandelier bead from the Bway production, muwahahaha). I'd love to see the black lace with something like that, I LOVE lace tattoos, they look so beautiful :)
I'm also going to get a tattoo soon. It will be my first and I'm terrified but I'm also very excited :)
I can't wait to someday to my sleeve, but for now because I don't want to lose any gigs I'm gonna keep it below the hips, which means hopefully in the next two years I'll get my other foot done, and my thigh piece. We'll see, I've got nothing but time :-)
Oh gosh... Let's see... I have 2 nipple piercings, 2 nose rings (left nostril), tragus (right ear), 2 lobes (one on each side of my ear), my bellybutton, labret - my favorite, and 2 anti eyebrows under my right eye (dermal anchors). As far as tattoos I have Bambi on my wrist, I have "I Fight Like A Girl" on my waist - dedication tattoo for Emilie Autumn, I have Albert Einstein and his signature on the back of my right leg, I have the Master Ball (pokemon) behind my left ear and the Great Ball (pokemon) behind my right ear. I haven't had any problems with anyone about my piercings or tattoos. It's not a big deal because I can hide my tattoos, a big bracelet can easily hide my Bambi tattoo and "I Fight Like A Girl" on my waist is hidden from my tail, it goes right above the tattoo! As far as piercings... I can take them out EXCEPT for my anti eyebrows. Those will never be able to come out unless surgically removed (and I don't mean getting knocked out at a hospital and doing actual surgery, I just mean they have to cut it out and it will leave scars.)
I plan to get so many tattoos in the future and maybe a few more piercings but I'm not too worried about how it will effect my work because I mainly want to go into that "horror" mermaid kind of scene, like being in tanks at like raves, events, and be that scary mermaid. But right now I'm keeping my tattoos and piercings a bit on the down low because I have to start from what's best to get my name known and that's doing children parties.(:
Arion - congrats!~ How awesome! What are you getting, and where? I WANNA KNOW... Depending on where you get it, it doesn't hurt too bad - I have the most ridiculously thin skin, and my first kind of tickled! I got it on my forearm, which is a pretty easy place to get one (I didn't know that, I just knew where I wanted the tat to be). The one on the base of my neck actually felt "really good", if you get what I'm saying ;) The one on my shoulder, well, it got a tiny bit messed up (barely noticeable and easily fixed) because my arm would randomly twitch even though it didn't hurt. The one on my chest kind of felt like an itchy, burny sunburn in certain areas (mostly on top of my collarbone).
Mermaids-and-Anchors: yaaaay for fellow "horror"-style mers! :highfive: Your tats sound awesome!!! And the anti-eyebrows just seem so mermaid-y when in costume anyways :D If my skin wasn't such a pain (still recovering from cystic acne), I'd totally have them - I've always thought they were so cool-looking!
I'd love to do the same types of gigs, especially the whole rave mermaid tank thing (ugh I am getting so old I love raves still though). I am relatively uncomfortable with children, so the most work I really want to do is with underprivileged children (especially foster kids), so I'm not too worried about my piercings and tats (and lack of hair) - besides, my tattoos seem to be kid-approved (bright colours and steampunk yay).
I have 3 tattoo's , on my left side of my belly 3 butterfly's (was my first tattoo ) on my right side the name of my minihorse (Quenya) with roses and on my right lower arm the paws of my dog :-) Attachment 26057

Beautiful work! I adore the roses, and love your horse's name ;) Love the puppy prints!
