Even though I said I am done, and I would never get another tattoo. It wasnt fully true. Its crossed my mine, and lately, I've been really wanting another.

So I always liked butterfly tattos, because theres so many colors, and so many different ways you can design them.

This is the one I want.. Same color, and same design and everything. I really like it. I love the color and how it fades, I love the angle and design on how its done, and the I love the stars.(hence my and username, i've always been "star" something, if that makes any since) So it does have more meaning to it. Im just thinking hard because it is a lot bigger than my first. I dont want to regret it after. I don't think I will once its done, but still. Going to be thinking about it hard for a little while, but may end up going in 2-3 weeks with a friend, and may get it done. I worry what other people will think of me though. Expecially my family, who was totally shocked when I told them about my first tattoo. I've always been a very quiet person, still am, so it came as a shock that I would do this. But i've always had a small wild side to me, im just afraid to let out, and thanks to a close friend(one of my coworkers) she has helped me come out of my shell a lot. I know I shouldnt let my families opinions interfere with this, its my body and my choice, but like I said, ive always been the type of person who worries about what others think of me.

What do ya'll think of it? In case you cant tell, this is on the foot, goes up a little on the leg. I actually would have rathered it on my right foot. But thats where my other tattoo is(right inside ankle) and it would defiantly clash. So I would be getting it on my left.

lol tattoos are too addicting to be done. if you think you might regret it you can get temporary tattoo paper from most office supply stores and then print it out and wear it for a while and see what ya think first. but i think that is a very cool tattoo, feminine and sexy, i say go for it. i have 2 tattoos myself, been lookin to get another one just have no idea what to get.
 
I feel the same way as Chris about the tattoo. I have one and want another as well. Problem with me is I got it done in one of the most painful spots of the body (hip bone area) so I worry about the pain again as I want one on my wrist and upper back. I'm just a big baby I guess but I also don't know what I want just yet.
 
I really like that tattoo.

I've always wanted a tattoo, and hope to one day get one. I've always been told, "If you're going to get a tattoo, get something you have loved your whole life." So, now I've made up my mind and have come up with the perfect image. ALF, the cat eating, smart talking alien. I have been obsessed with the show since I was an infant. I even still have the ALF stuffed doll that I got for my first birthday (my most prized possession). I went out and bought all the dvd's, even though they are of the edited syndicated version of the series.

I just haven't decided whether I want a normal picture of ALF, or a custom one of him eating a bloody carcass of a cat. Hmm, I'd have to see how good the tattoo artist is before I make up my mind.

But if I decide on a normal image, I may get it like this:

I have 2 tattoos, each is a design with my kids names in them. I love them and feel it was the best decision...I am craving for another one!! Something about tattoos are very addicting. I do have one comment...I can see how much you love this tattoo, it is very cool, I would however change something..whatever you can think of, just something to make it yours. Not just a copy of somebody elses tattoo. Change the color..or the design of the butterfly, just something to make it say...hey, this is my tattoo and nobody else has it! Just my opinion but go for it girl!

Well that's the thing. I really love the color and the design.Lol but I'm thinking on cutting off the third butterfly and the stars underneath it, and instead of putting it on top my leg/foot..I would put it in the inside of my left ankle. That way it is different, and it might take that " to much" factor out of my mind. It would still be very simular, but not exact.Still thinking though! Thanks for the opinion!
 
I think that tattoo is very pretty...but then again, i love purple! I have a tattoo above my ankle on my right leg (inner). I have never once regretted getting it. Occasionally think of getting another but don't know what or where.
Don't worry about what others think. It is something you are doing for you. As a funny side note, a few months after I had gotten mine, my grandparents came to visit. I had my legs up on my grandma's lap as I was laying on the couch. She looked at my ankle and tried to rub my tattoo off. Then she looked at me and said, "Is that real?" I love that she tried to get it to come off first. lol! :p
 
Don't have one but have always wanted to get one. Always been money issues due to medical bills. Than I had my heart attack in 2008 and that has sorta put the idea to rest because of thin blood. I'm still going to check into one. Just don't know what.
Love the pictures of everyone's tats.
 
I am not a fan of tattoos but if you are thinking of one try a henna one first, permanent is permanent.
 
I would love to get an actual Pirate tat or I do love dragons, but now that I am Sir Pirate of Her Majesty's court I should get a knighted pirate battling a dragon.

:arghmatey_ani:(closest to a dragon on here lol) :yoshijumpjoy:
 
Once I'm off of blood thinners and the Remicade has kicked in I'm getting vital medical information tattooed on my upper chest near my left shoulder. I figure with the amount of times I've been in the hospital in the past couple of years, if I ever desperately need to convey my blood type and medication allergies I probably won't be conscious.
