I've posted elsewhere about my tattoo but I didn't include an image because it wasn't mermaid themed.
Here it is!

She's a mörksugga, which means dark sow in Norwegian/Swedish (as far as I'm aware ;D)
My mother used to keep a few in cupboards and wardrobes; their tails wrap round shelves and keep them upright.

I think she was used as a story to make children behave, something about having a fondness for darkness and eating children who stayed out too late. But the way my mother described her was that, like most of nature, she wasn't really interested in human desire to label things as "good" or "evil"; having her on your side, however, would keep you safe from things that were evil. Since she's traditionally a creature of the dark (you keep her in dark places) I put her on the back of my neck, as I usually have my hair down and it seemed appropriate :) I'm not superstitious but I always liked the story, and it's part of my heritage<3
Like many creatures from Nordic folk-tales, she's also rarely seen, so I don't make a point of showing her to anyone unless they catch a glimpse of her ;)
Awww, that's so neat Melaina!!!
That is so cool.
Getting some new tattoos soon, so excited!
Same here, new tats soon! :dance::yay:
Same! Hoping to get started on my giant back piece next month!
Starting my sleeve quite soon! Getting the first piece (on my shoulder) within the next two weeks
I have tattoos on my back of F-holes like on cellos so that my body looks like a human violin. When I started thinking about getting a tail I was concerned that it would look weird and if I should try to hide them but I just had my first swim in my new tail and it looks kind of cool. I'm not sure what I'd say to children if they brought it up though. You can kind of see my tattoos in this photo from above water. Attachment 26701
Oooh, I think that's lovely! :swoon:
I want a new tattoo so bad. I want one that looks like a watercolor painting. My only problem is finding a spot that won't need too much (or any coverup) if I have to do a gig. I've been contemplating my shoulder blade as a spot.
I adore that! I've wanted fhole tattoos forever, but I don't have the body for it.Quote:

I also have six ear piercings, both my nipples, and my belly button. :)

ok ok ok ok ok let me tell you a story
im 15 and my parents are really conservitive right. and the #1 thing they are agisnt are tattoos. like i might never get a tattoo because they will haunt me from the grave and curse me if i do.
i have 2 older sisters in colledge. they both called my parents before thanksgiving break. aparently my dad told both of them in a disappointing voice that i got a tattoo of a butterfly on my neck.
so im in my room playing tf2 and my mom knocks on the door. "oh btw we told your sisters you got a tattoo play along!"
so im like alright. continue with my game and i get a call on my phone
its my oldest sister, more responsible and such. i pick it up and she starts yelling at me using my whole name and talking really fast.
I JUST WANTED TO PLAY MY GAME. so after that call i continue to play my game then i get a second call
its my older sister. she is more loose and relaxed. she calls and she actually asked me important questions like where i got it and how i got the money to pay for it and who took me. im alittle hestitant because its harder to lie to that sister then the other, plus her roommate is in to tattoos and they're both disapointed that i got a butterfly.
after the call even said roomate messaged me on tumblr (we follow eachother) if i actually got a tattoo and how my sister is freaking out. i couldnt trust anybody so i told her i got a tattoo also.
they all ask for pictures.
this is where the hard art comes cuz remeber the roomate can probably reconized tattoos but im good with body paint
Attachment 26870
i tried making the picture as blurry as posible. i even scrape andd scratch myself alittle to make it red so it looked like i just got it (i dont support self harm but the things i do for my parent's prank)
i got alittle mad at my parents for saying it was on the neck cuz that would hurt real bad so i keep on telling them things lie "say i was put under and say this and that" when the pictures were posted my sisters went ballistic.
ok so fast forward to when they come home. it took them alittle time to notice "wait didnt she get a tattoo" they both freakd out (oldest waited for my parents to leave the room so she can describe her experience with foul language) they both said how they thought it was real because they way my parents said it wasnt "hee hee he joker got a tattoo" but they sounded disappointed"
i have reaction videos i can post them if you want
That is absolute magic and I can't breath I'm laughing so hard XDQuote:

My dad is tatted up, half sleeves and a half chest piece. My mom has some tattoos but not a lot. They are planning for us all to get matching tattoos in the future too. They even let me get my first tattoo at 17! Though they told me to think about it for a while before getting it and make sure it has meaning. Which is how I got my octopus tattoo [emoji14] getting my next tattoo tomorrow which will be part one of my sleeve! A small part but yeah :) I'm 18 now just so you guys don't think I'm starting a sleeve underage lol
HOWEVER, my grandma is a very conservative southern baptist type woman, who HATES tattoos with a burning passion. She hates my tattoo the most because it's an octopus.
Grandma: *to my sister* let me see what you've done to yourself this time
Sister: holds out arm to show new tattoos
Grandma: ... Well I still love you... and at least it's flowers and not an OCTOPUS *looks over at me rolling her eyes*
...Ouch.. thanks grandma
Cephalopods rule! If I can stay out of the water long enough I want to add some baby octopodes for my giant pacific octopus tattoo.
In the process of having my tattoo done right now! It's almost done!
http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...e1c9028a51.jpg the picture on the left is an awkward angle of it because my mom sucks at taking pictures lol, but I'll take better ones tomorrow:) super stoked!!
I'll be adding to it later since I'll be building it up to a sleeve, I've already talked to my artist about it:)
Updated picture from this morning, better angles of it lolhttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...a72c6529b8.jpg
Fingers crossed, I should be getting a new piece, or possibly 3, this weekend! Super excited. 2 will be my first non all black coloring. One is mainly white, purple and red
28march i gonna get a rose more on my tattoo :-D
Woo! I love it so far! Got a lot more sessions to do though until its done. Miyu- Don't forget to thank the man for me, again. Lol
Attachment 27294
Nice!! I want to start on a full back piece after a few more sessions on my sleeve and one chest piece.
Holy shit yes! Morticia that looks amazing o_o is the whole thing going to be done in that colour?
Yep. Mainly white with custom mixed lavender shading for line definition, and the eyes will be red :)
It's beautiful<3 I love white tattoos to death. Super pretty and subtle :)
Got three new piercings in the past couple of weeks, more coming soon!
Bridge piercing + double vertical labrets :swoon:

I have many tattoos. Too many and too big to cover. I will be including them in my mersona, but the one that I really worry about is the mermaid on my right arm because she is topless. I live in Utah and some parents don't like children seeing a tattoo of a topless woman. Ah the shame of the human body! Anyway, with that one I may use glitter or something to give her a little top when I am dealing with children. Or maybe I will make an armband that would cover her breasts. The others I am not concerned about. I have starfish on my side, Mermaids on my lower back, a Mermaid on my leg, which of course will be covered, and a sleeve of flowers. I am planning toward getting scales tattood from the waist down.
I have a lot of ink. I've been a child care coordinator in the past and never had any issues with ink being exposed. Many parents of younger kids are more exposed and understanding of ink. Attachment 28968

I add to my arm tomorrow, yay!
Awesome, Sirenia! What are you getting?
I got in for new ink tomorrow as well! :)
Just got mine done a few hours ago! My next appointment I'll be adding a stem to connect the roses, eventually it will be a vine of roses wrapping around my arm to create a full sleeve, with 2 or 3 pale blue butterflies for a pop of color :)http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/04...6937548ee4.jpg
By the way the roses will fade to the lighter color like the upper roses, it's fresh ink so it's always darker at first:)
I love tattoos and piercings, so I'm pretty excited to share my own. Prepare for picture overload.
First picture shows my arm tattoos (left arm has kraken arms, just lines thus far, need to get more work done; right arm has a quote from GK Chesterton, "For the great Gaels of Ireland are the men that God made mad, for all their wars are merry and all their songs are sad.")
Second is my left thigh tat (this picture is newer than the next one, but the next one shows several of my tattoos at once...)
Third picture shows both of my hips ("Curiouser and curiouser." Other side is a bayonet wrapped in barbed wire with "USMC" on a banner around it.) And at my ankle you can see a small hint of color that is my triforce tattoo. And, most importantly, my octopus, Sir Henry.
Fourth picture is my back piece WIP. The top butterfly is a starry night butterfly named Vincent. Below him is a blue mountain butterfly named Scarlet. Opposite her is a blue tiger moth named Scarab.
The last picture is to show off most of piercings. I have 15 total.

Outstanding!
I have plans for a full back piece based on an illustration by Tony DiTiterlizzi, who gave his blessing for my Spiderwick-inspired mermaid tattoo.

Here's one from the beach last summer:
Attachment 31883
As of right now I have two tattoos. One on my left forearm and the other on my right shoulder. Both my tattoos have a match on another person. My bestfriend and I both got a bird with music notes and my little sister and I have a rune from a book series. (I cannot get pictures of the rune because it is in such a weird place)
I hope to have several more tattoos. I want mermaid scales on my thigh. I am also working on a half sleeve though I cannot decide just yet what I want. My bestfriend and I are also getting mermaid tattoos together (mermaids which she drew)! I love seeing everyone else's tattoos. They are really great. :)

Just got this outlined the other day! Color in a few weeks!
Only One of my 14 tats. :)

I have 10 tattoos and I'm done. They're all old school sailor style so they kinda go with mermaiding; especially when I play pirate mermaid
