Tattoos and Body Modifications

[Merman Dan]

Done? What is this "done"? When I finish my sleeve I want a modification on my weedy seadragon, an addition to my octopus, a chest piece, a full back piece, and two tats on my legs.

I think once my left arm and back are done, I may be finished with tattoos... or I'll have a ton of ideas for more.

Ha! I work a very professional job and have run out of real estate. Also, I have a thing for symmetry. Most of my tattoos are in pairs and until I got my 10th a few months ago I felt lopsided. 10 feels juuuust right.

I got a tiny white anchor tattoo over my heart. Aka my left BOOBIE.

I've got a couple tattoos haven't figured out what else I want. Excuse the crappy pic it's hard to get one by myself.

I love tattoos and had always wanted one, but I only just got my first one May 2015 at the age of 28. I could never figure out what to get because I couldn't think of anything that I knew I'd love forever. Here's my first tattoo, in honor of my dad who we lost to cancer in February. He loved model planes and remote control planes. When he got sick he had to retire and he'd go to the park and fly planes every day. So I got an infinity symbol, incorporated a plane, and incorporated the last ECG that was taken at the hospital before he was sent home on hospice. It's super personal and I know that I'll never ever get tired of it. I'm holding my shoulder a bit high in this photo, but when I'm relaxed it looks level (not diagonal).

My next tattoo will be in the same place on the opposite shoulder and will be an anchor. He was an avid fisherman, and we used to spend so much family time on our boat fishing, tubing, and just hanging out. It's probably the reason that I love being around water so much!

How many here have nipple piercings? I'm thinking of getting mine re-pierced but I'm not sure if the same issues will crop up.
Issues being: i hate wearing bras and was constantly knocking them on things. Also the holes themselves constantly drained and it looked like the sides were...taking on the shape of the balls? Help? Advice? Is it worth it? I got frustrated and took them out after about a year...but I loved the look of them. (They did nothing for sensations, not for me).

(Sorry if this is random but this seemed like the right thread for it.)

I recently got a white anchor tattoo over my heart.

I love white tattoos. Super subtle.

I just got my "be water" touched up and this tattoo:

[SeaGlass Siren]

I want like three more tattoos. Except I'm not supposed to be overly tattooed because of my job at Disney (le sigh) I mean as long as it's not visible it isn't a problem.

i still want a conch shell behind my ear , mermaid scales on my upper thigh, and a circle... But I don't know where to place said circle and I don't know how I want this circle

[SeaGlass Siren]

Wait I lie I want 4 tattoos. I want a mermaid but I don't know the placement or what kind

[Mermaid Lorelei]

I know of at least three tattoos I want so far, but I'll probably want more. :P
In no order:
A small seahorse, maybe just an inch or two in size, probably in white and most likely on the back of my neck or my ankle.
A bamboo shark in watercolors. No idea where yet, but possibly my thigh over an old scar.
A black and watercolor underbust of shells and sea life with thin 'chains' and drapes.

I have four piercings and an ear cuff. Teachers seem to have a big problem with the cuff...

I really want to get a troll cross tattoo below my collar bone and next to my shoulder, there is a small dip there.
For all who don't know what a troll cross is, here is the one I hang on my wall:

They are from Scandinavia and are meant to be made from iron? and are meant to keep the trolls away. The one on my wall I made and is from coloured clay... My dad hasn't gotten is forge set up so I can't make a real one yet.

But I want it as a tattoo to keep my mental "trolls" away, I suffer from depression on and off so I think this would help me. Don't know why but yeah.

[IllynReaver]

Never heard of the troll cross before, that's really neat!

[RomanLaveau]

I have several tattoos, I have a Japanese Koi Fish side piece down my left side, I have a 3/4 sleeve of pin-up Disney princesses on my right arm, I have a day-of-the-dead Charmander on my hip bone, and a Kanji lettering tattoo that says "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we do" down my back. From what I have seen, it hasn't really affected gigs, people are still willing to hire me and the mermaids in our company with tattoos, and I am the one with the most tattoos in the company!

[Vrindavana Starfish]

I love the troll cross! In Ireland and other Celtic countries, iron is used to keep the faeries away, specifically from stealing children and replacing them with changelings.

I have a sea star on the top of my left foot, 2 piercings in each ear, and a nose ring (nostril.) Considering a septum ring, and I have an idea for a 2nd tattoo that I'm not ready to share yet. It may be a white tattoo, but I think it'll be woad blue with white details.

[Mermaid Meredith]

Okay I have to ask! I'm sorry if this has already been asked and answered. What do you do or say when you're a mermaid with a tattoo of a mermaid?

I just say that it's my mom or, if I'mfeeling adventurous, I tell them it's a famous mer singer . People get portraits of other people all the time.
