Skin Art

I have heard them ankle tats sting a bit.
Nice art work on the tinkerbell tattoo

This is the first tattoo I had done. It sits on my chest and peeks out through my shirt. The chinese character is for Dragon and going by chinese folk tales..the dragon is the guardian of the heart and this was the best place to put this tattoo I believe.

This is my second tattoo and another dragon. He flies across my shoulders.

My third one is on my upper left arm. My sister has the same on her upper right arm and our brother has a large one across his shoulders.

Kind of a long story behind this one and I'll save it for later [img]smile.gif[/img]

Last one is of another dragon and he flies across my lower back and his tail curls down over my buttock. His head peeks above the waistband of my jeans..cheeky fellow [img]wink.gif[/img]

I love greywash tattoos. I find that the coloured ones seem to fade quickly and the colours seem to blend and bleed into one another too much.

My lil chinese dragon is over 4 years old and the lines are still very crisp.

Greetings, and Welcome Lady Belle, thank you for sharing the photos of your skin art.

I like the one on your left arm, I find an intriguing picture. I see someone who has lived a long life, and who is making peace with God/Death.

I collect little dragons, so I can really appreciate your's.
I like your stylize Chinese dragon, but the one flying across your shoulder has so much detail & depth, it seems to have life in it.

I have to agree about some coloured tattoos, My buddy who had sleeves done, after a couple years, details started fading. I'm afraid as the years pass the details and edges will fade to colored blobs (sorry Tony)

Thanks again for taking a few moments and sharing with us.

(I hope the above pics have come out fine)

Hi Roger,

I have 4 tattoos...

1) The letter "Q" on my right ankle--The "Q" stands for my fav. Rock band Queen. It closely matches the "Q" on one of their lp's. It is blue and black in color

2) I have a small green star on the right side of my chest

3) Snoopy and Woodstock (photo above). Snoopy is holding a hockey stick--I love the 4 major sports, especially hockey. This tattoo is on the back on my left leg

4) Celtic Armband (photo above). It is identical to the one Melanie C (Sporty Spice) of the Spice Girls sports on her right bicep. I am not a Spice Girl fan---I just love the tattoo. It is on my left bicep--it completely circles my arm.

I am not getting anymore. I have had my fun!!

Cool Armband Stephen. I'm not sure which side is up but it almost looks like intertwined hearts.
Can't go wrong with a cartoon character.

The big dragon that goes across my shoulders is roughly 9x5 inches. The dragon that girdles my lower back is larger at 10x7 inches.

Both of them were taken off the covers of Anne McCaffreys Dragonriders of Pern books.

The Grim Reaper one is called "Courting Death" and was about a man who was afraid of Death and dying all his life and (cutting a long story short) he finally accepted Death on his deathbed and found that dying wasnt as scary as he always thought it to be.
