I like it! I was thinking about getting a tattoo of ziggy but I'm not really into colored tattoos so I changed my mind lol. I did just get my ribs done monday night, still hurts like hell! lol. There is one bird related tattoo I know I want, I want to get "Spread Your Broken Wings And Learn To Fly" with a blackbird(from the beatles song, blackbird) I just don't know where I want it yet. Do you know where you are going to get it done?

Leg tattoos are ITCHY! Just a reminder :) haha I have a lot of color work... some of it had black in it, some not so much :) I have run out of room for ink for the time being :) I've inked all the places I said I would until another chapter in my life so I'm content with what i've got.

IcyWolf: If you dont like color ink, you could do a black piece with just flecks of color, just for dramatic effect, I think that'd be really cool!

I'm sure I'll start getting color at some point, the other reason I didn't do it is because we have 7 birds at the moment, and I'm only 22 so I'm sure I will have even more birds in my lifetime and I would feel guilty only having a tattoo for one of them, but I also don't want a ton of bird tattoos lol.
And on the itchy note, I think all tattoos are itchy, at least all of mine were and I have my inner wrist, inner ankle, my shoulder, behind my ear and my ribs.

I'm only 20, I don't have any pet tattoos yet... haha I've got my entire lower back from hip to hip inked up to the bottom of my bra strap (hey... that's where it falls! haha) I've got it so that IF i were to wear a strapless dress or a dress with a low cut back for my wedding (someday) my ink won't show. That's the only thing my mom asked haha and I have a little ink on my lower right calf... it ITCHES! I've had it for a year and it STILL itches! lol My other ink doesn't itch though :) I love my tattoos <3 my boss is so inked up lol and she's itty bitty... I don't understand how she can have that much art on such a little canvas haha

I'm thinking of doing a trail of paw/feet prints up my shoulderblade later on in life of all the critters i've had :) (beardies, hedgehog, robin, dog, cat, rats, ferrets, birds, horse) :)

This is my 6th tat but the first one of any pet. It representd both my fids. It is on the top of my right foot. I have one on my right ankle, one on my left shoulderblade, one on my butt and my trampstamp is two tats combined into one...here are some pics...I Just had it done about 4 hours ago so it is still very red.....

It looks awesome! It's funny coz I've been thinking about tattoos recently too. Been on fyeahtattoos .com for like this entire week just going thru their photos lol. I don't have any but that'll change one day. I already have three ideas circling in my mind one of them I've wanted for about a year so if I still want it when I'm able to get tatted up without being kicked out of my house I'm def going for it :D
Anyway Woubette, any significant meaning behind the tattoo? I love hearing the thoughts that lead to the ink. C:

I have been wanting another tat for a long time (I already had 5). I am so in love with my fids that I decided to get one to honor them. I searched for a long time before I found this. I found it on the internet and it was originally a hummingbird. I made some changes to make it my own and then had to decide where to put it. At first I was going just black and white (which was cool too) but I thought that making it as close to the colors of my fabies as I could would be awesome. I thought about getting on my upper arm (shoulder) but I wanted to be able to easily see it. So the next best place was my foot, that way when I wear flip flops, I can see it all the time. I will tell you that the top of the foot has NO padding and it was very painful. Also, this is going on the third day and I can tell you that it has definately been the most painful one out of the bunch. I had to go to work last night (I am a police officer) and had to wear my boots. That was not a comfortable experience!!! I don't regret the new tat at all and am very pleased with how it turned out. Good luck whenever you decide to get yours.....

Uhg I can imagine wearing boots would hurt D: It'll all be worth it once the pains gone tho I'm sure C: pain is one of my fears about getting a tattoo, the other one being my father haha but I'm sure I'll live thru it, & I'm sure he'll get over it lol!
I love the fact that you decided to use color, & I like the little hearts in the design.

I know what you mean about feeling guilty about tattooing one bird specie over the other, that is why if I decide on a 4th tattoo :)p), it will be of a Phoenix representing all of parrots kinds (mythical bird that never dies). I am gathering all kind of pics of Phoenix illustrations in the meantime :)

Well, today is Sunday and all the pain and redness is gone. Even wearing my work boots now is not bad. I still cover it with gauze and tape while working, but zero pain. I will still baby it for the next week or so. Very happy with the whole process and the results!

I have wanted a tattoo for years, but I just cant decide on something I want. I dont think I'm very creative, so its hard for me to come up with one on my own. I absolutely love tattoos on other people though and I just love yours. Good choice.
