Tattoos are a great way to express art.
More accepted in today's society, we can express the things we enjoy through body art and we can also pay great homage to people we care about as well.
I have a total of 10 tattoos. Although 1 has been covered up which brings me down to 9 and 1 is not finished yet.
Here are a few pics that I have of mine.
This one is one represents my husband and I. He is the capricorn and I am the scorpio.
This one represents my family tree, only its branches. The bottom flower is my husband. He keeps me grounded and he is the roots to our family. I am the flower on the left higher up. I keep the family growing and together. Keeping us close and within. The 3 flowers at the top are my kids. They are at the top as they keep growing and their roads will lead to many options. The other small flowers, buds and floating petals represent the rest of my family in the background; my parents, my aunts and uncles, cousins etc.
My spirit guide, the fox. And as a woman, I am tied to the moon and all it's beauty.
My biological father has never been in my life. My mother remarried when I was 11. My stepfather has been nothing less than my idol, my hero, my father and the grandfather to my children.
This is a representation of me. My wildside, my style, my fin. Also I drew this one. You won't find this on pinterest.
This is a 3 in one soon to be a 5 or more in one lol. The ankh is an older tattoo. To show 2 things, my love for ancient egypt and the gamer side of me. Anubis and Aries are the latest of my tattoos. So far I have had 3 appointments 3 hrs long each of tattooing. Not finished. Its to be a back piece that tells my lifes story. A story I will write about when its done in november.
Enough about me and my tattoos, I want to see yours!

I love your tatoos @foxyspirit! Especially the ancient Egypt ones...I too love that time in history. I never had any tattoos until I met Brian, and now I have three. The first one has the most significance for us though, and that's the one I chose to share with you.
This one is very special to me. When Brian and I met, we discovered our love of ravens and I've always loved cherry blossoms. The two ravens represent us, flying towards each other, because it felt like we had been moving towards each other our entire lives. The other two important men in my life were my two boys, so I needed to incorporate them in this too. The bottom pic is on one hip; a raven taking flight, which represented my oldest son who was preparing to leave home. On my other hip is a picture (not shown here) of a raven sitting in a nest on the tree branch. It signified my younger son at the time, still at home 'in the nest'. And ravens in real life, mate and stay together for a lifetime; also the idea of 'family' is huge with them as well. It just seemed a perfect combination. Enjoy:)

WOW! This is a nice tattoo. Lot's of heart put in to this. I didn't know that about ravens, I think its pretty neat actually.
But I have to say, that has had to hurt! Placement is beautiful, you are stronger than me for sure. I have one placed where your cherry blossoms are and man.... my skin was jumping on its own. Another Anubis tattoo. Good for you! Love the meaning ^_^ xx

Hey thanks! Yep, it hurt like hell:) And I have two surgery scars under there as well and didn't realize how tattooing over scars is also very painful. I did one session for all the outlining and then considered not colouring it haha I went through it, obviously, but given the choice, I wouldn't place it there again!!
Glad you like the raven info...they really are so cool. Research it if you ever get time (now that's funny; add it to your to-do list lol), but they actually hold funerals as well. They really are very social and very intelligent!

They hold funerals?? Really? Now that is something worth checking out.
And I agree with you, the one I have in that area... EEK not sure I will get another one there lol

This is an awesome idea for a contest! I saw your post after @papacrusher had resteemed it. I will have to get the camera out and get started on taking pictures of my tattoos, it could take a while because I don't know how many of them I have. It could end up being quite a long post...

As for the word Invictus still looking for a cool font to use.

The best tattoos are the ones that take more time to really think about how it should be and needs to be. Glad you are making that decision.
Perhaps for Dreamweaver, if you speak another language have it translated to that if it works? with maybe an image behind it. There are so many people in the world, it is bound to have something similar to someone else if not the same.
Like my voodoo doll, a lot of people have one but thats why I drew my own. To have something different that others do not. Just a thought :)

Hmmm, I've never gotten a tattoo. It's not like others who feel like their bodies are an untouchable sanctuary. I could get a tattoo or a piercing at any moment, but I haven't felt the need or the urge to do so, to take such an unchangeable decision. But I find tattoos very aesthetic in others, so there's that. :P

I respect that. Our bodies are our only personal, physical material possession that we truly own. (not talking like a house and a couch and a dog way.) These decisions do need to be well thought out. I feel the need to get them as it is healing to me, to show how much it means to me as talking about it and putting it in words isnt enough. It feels more embedded in me and more complete. Just feels right :)

Finding the right artist is tricky. Good on ya for holding out for the right one. I get impatient sometimes and have ended up not being 100% happy with a few of mine. Live and learn. 🤷

I LOVE the doll with the pins OMG, love it so so much! I started writing the stories behind my tattoos when I first came to steemit, but got totally distracted and forgot to finish... you've reminded me and now I need to go write the rest of them!
If you're interested, here is one of my earlier posts about my "Wild Things" Tattoo.
I'll try my best to get another written in time. Is tomorrow too late?
