For beckyblue, thanks for telling me about such an awesome thread!
This is part of mine, a younger cartoony version of me, carrying that blackbird around like a chip on my shoulder.
....and yes, that is a little poodle head peeking up from the bottom

Oh, Jen, you'd mentioned it before, but I had totally forgotten that you've got the wise and wonderful Suess in your skin! I've devoured every word he's ever written. LOVE that so, so much

Here are a few, also have Hunter S. Thompson's two thumbed fist with the peyote button. Got a lemon grenade on my foot at the last tattoo convention in Salt Lake City.
DUDE!! How did you affix your Vamo to yourself like that?! If you say Super Glue, you're my hero
! I (in good company, I know) LOVE Hunter S. Thompson; if it's no trouble, I'd love to see those others at some point. Getting my next one two weeks from Saturday!

I use packaging tape. Super Glue would hurt my Vamo
Here are a few more, need to get the fist touched up, the shop is just a few minutes from my house but I just don't want to deal with the aftercare during the Summer.Hunter S. Thompsons two thumbed fist & peyote button
The SLC Tattoo Convention, Melanie came all the way from Frankfurt, Germany.
Finished product
Me, Melanie, and her husband Axel
BeckyBlue, what are you going to get in a few weeks? First one of many or many after the first?

Excellent!! Thanks for adding those! I got to go to a huge convention 11 (egads, it's 11
?) years ago in Oakland, and it was insanely fun. Yeah, I'm a giant hypocrite because, even though I'm so hot to get this thread better fed (with the inspirations for/stories behind the tattoos from all who'll add that, as well as the pics *nudge*), I only posted a couple of mine before I recently lost my iphone (only digital camera), and I only was gonna post one more of the ones I've got if I hadn't. Like some of 'em only being for me and a very select audience. I've already mentioned it, but the next one (gonna definitely add it to the thread) is gonna be of a blue guitar, inspired by Wallace Steven's The Man With The Blue Guitar - Poetry - The Man with the Blue Guitar by Wallace Stevens, the Picasso painting that inspired the poem, the love of the color blue, and the love of music/especially guitar (and celebration of finally teaching myself to play it). I'm still batting around different designs, but it's gonna go on my foot like your lemon grenade 'cause I live in flip flops, and I'll get to see it all the time that way. There'll certainly be plenty more to follow.
I wasn't serious about the Super Glue, Big L, but I can't see the tape at all. Your Vamo gun is my new favorite gun, Dude!!

I wasn't either, just saying it wouldn't bother me to super glue myself but the Vamo is my work horse and I treat her well. All my tattoos mean something or else whats the point, when life gives you lemons. . . blow that $H17 up. I have at least another 10 ideas in my head but they are so damn expensive. The foot didn't hurt that bad, well, compared to the ribs. My next one probably won't be until Melanie comes down next March for the convention again so I can do my other foot, it's going to be a "key" lime, along the same lines as my lemon "grenade." Not sure how I want it to look but she is an amazing artist.
I think I've officially found an excuse to post this in ANOTHER thread!! When life gives you lemons -
Big ditto on the damn expensive bit, Dude; best to you on saving up for a few more of those ideas!

Barbed wire over my collarbone:
This tattoo was done with a sewing needle when I was a teenager. I wish I could tell you it had some significant meaning but it did not. I did it not because I wanted to express something outwardly but because I wanted to experience something inwardly. I can't really explain it.

To each his own, man. I know from experience that the collar bone hurts like an sob.
