CONGRATZ! Warning: Getting Inked is addictive! I took my baby sister for her first tat for her 18th and she is already working on the design for her third! LOL! I want to have my tongue pierced too but that will have to be after my surgery while I am still on my meds...LOL! I have two and I cannot wait until I have lost the weight and had my plastics b/c I am so getting inked over or near my scars! Heck.. they are gonna be my badges of a life lived... KWIM? Why not make them beautiful! Right now I have one on my shoulder blade and one on my ankle. The pix are not all that great since I cannot shoot them myself...lol... but they will have to do for now! PIX: Celtic Knot- Close up (my baby sister and I have identical ones on the same leg! We got inked together!) http://pages.ivillage.com/ladyautumndesigns//sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/TATcelticknotclose.jpg Celtic Knot- my big old cankle...lol http://pages.ivillage.com/ladyautumndesigns//sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/TATcelticknotfar.jpg My Right shoulderblade has a Sun (Me) Moon (hubby) and shooting star (my son) and two smaller stars (my baby sisters) http://pages.ivillage.com/ladyautumndesigns//sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/TATsunmoonstar.jpg Brightest Blessings~ Jamie

I already know where the next 3 are going, but 2 have to wait until after the tummy tuck! ~pout~ I'm already forgetting my piercing is there most of the time, and it's only been a week. I love it, and I'm glad I went through with it!

awesome tat. I have one that my brother started, I've just got the outline done. I need to get it colored in. I want another one sooo badly, but until I get this one finished up, I've got to wait. I already know what my next is going to be, just gotta figure out where I want it. Also, the tounge piercing. I think the worst part for me was the swelling in the middle of the night. Took some advil and sucked on popsicles and was fine. Had it 4 yrs now and am soo glad I have it now. I forget its there 90% of the time.

WAY TO GO! I have both tattoo and a tongue piercing. Word of caution, I took my tongue piercing out on Sunday and forgot to put it back in, and I am four months out, went to put it back in last night and it was closed over. I would have thougth it would be permanent by now, but nope. So I just poked and screwed until I got it back open again. PHEW, I have ordered some flex,plastic,ones for my surgery and am hoping I can get them in right after so this does not happen again. BEWARE, you will be going back for more! Patticake
