So what was your first tattoo of? I don't have any yet but I am getting ready to go get one and need to come up with something to get. I want it to be original so I am putting a lot of thought into it.

I only have one and I love it. I got it when I was fifteen and it is a butterfly that is purple with a tribal heart around it, I often think about going to get an anklet added to it and make the old tattoo look like it is a charm on the anklet. I think that would be really cute.

I don't have one yet but I am working up the courage to go get one. I am not too sure what I want, the only thing that I do know is that I would like to have some input on the design. I am really leaning towards a horse since I love them!

My first tattoo I got when I turned 18 and it is a panda bear laying on its side. I love panda bears since they are vegatarians and they are also known as the friendship bear. It may sound cheesy but it was cool when I was 18.

well it might sound kinda funny but the first tattoo i got done was when i was 18 and its my name written in HINDI language and backwards it looks like a design but it looks beautiful.

My first tattoo was that of a scorpion in my back. I love that tattoo and it really gels with my clothing and its very happening. I love this tattoo of mine though next one was of a butterfly in my ankle.

That's a great idea for a tattoo! Why are you not adding a picture here to see it!

I don't have my first tattoo yet but I am going to get one shortly. I am just trying to talk my husband into getting one at the same time. He is on the fence and it is because he doesn't know what he wants to get. Once we do it thought I will post lots of pictures.

Mine was a big sunflower with a peace sign in the middle of it; I was 25. 5 years later got a butterfly on the inside of my right ankle...I had finally quit smoking for good and I was feeling very free because of it; so a butterfly was perfect for me.
As soon as this baby is born, I will be getting tat #3.

My first tattoo was a pink Princess crown with my name under it. Everyone calls me a princess so i thought that I would just run with it. I really like it and am thinking about getting an identical smaller one with my daughter's name under it.

I just got back from Vegas and got my first tattoo at Hart and Hunington. My Dad passed away last August and I got his initials in between my shoulder blades. Very clean text.....[b:bd8659e965][size=18:bd8659e965][/size:bd8659e965]E.G.T[size=12:bd8659e965][/size:bd8659e965][/b:bd8659e965]. It was a form of therapy for me. Keeping his spirit close to me as he watches my back. Everytime I look at it I smile.

my first was a little jap dragon (approx 10cm). Thing is I kept fidgiting and wandering off during it. I still use the same tattooist even now, but now if I want to move I tell him.

a little butterfly on my right shoulder, it never healed properly, and i got it covered over with a bigger flower, that sorted it...

Hi,

Just got my first tat done on the 20th Sept, its a black and grey Japanese Koi half sleeve, thought if i was going to get one done then I'd get something worth having.

The first ten minutes were a bit painful but I got into the swing it was plain sailing for 2 hours, got another 3 hour sitting booked on the 11th October to get it finished, can't wait 'till its done.

Andy.

My first tattoo was a tribal rose on my left upper arm - its pretty small, about 1 inch x 3 inches but i've always loved it and it paved the way for my other tribals!

I was wondering how much it cost to get your tat done? You can email me at Thank you

my first tattoo was my gay pride tattoo.
it means ALOT to me.
firstly its a statement to say 'hey im gay, and i dont care what you think!'
it shows my pride to the whole word! and basicly says F*UCK YOU to anyone who happens to be homophobic....even thought its totally non offencive. Laughing

secondly it reminds me of the things which i have gone throught to be the strong (mentally) and proud INDIVIDUAL that i am today.
if anyone says something that gets me down abit...all i have to do is take a quick look and im right back up off my arse saying (in my lovely southern english accent) 'excuse me but what is your problem, ARSEHOLE!' Laughing
