    I have six tattoos, an acorn, a jiji from Kiki's, a geometric cat, a skull moth, a reading lamp, and a Snorlax sushi. The last three were this year, and I want more. Tattoo itch is real, once you get one you want to keep the ball rolling. Also, love your tattoos with the hint of color!

    Love your tattoos! I have 8 tattoos: a panda, the map of Labrador, a phoenix, a unicorn, Aries zodiac (for my son), a Pisces zodiac (for my daughter), a lily (matching tat with my husband), and Celtic motherhood knot. I'd like to have the unicorn covered up because it was a horrible job. Definitely do some research and look at their previous work.

    I love watching tattoo tours and hearing people talk about their tattoos. I've wanted one for over a decade now but I'm too chicken to get one because I can't settle on a design or location. I used to want a watercolour one but I'm kind of out of that phase so I'm kinda worried I'll end up not liking what I get. I guess I could get one anyway and have it represent a certain time in my life but idk, can't commit. For now, I'll just admire other people's body art. Love how much more common it is (esp coming from an ethnicity that used to see tattoos as something only criminals have)

    I love yours so much! ♥️ I have 13 in total so far, small/medium size and also scattered around my body, mainly arms and fingers, and seen as ‘random’. All of mine have meanings to them which I love (but I also love those who don’t and just think they’re pretty, that’s awesome too!) (These aren’t in order they’re just what I can see now) 1: an aeroplane, shaded, on my right ankle - on the inside (my love for travel) 2: a cross on my middle finger left hand, this is for my Nan who passed, she was a Christian 3: a lotus flower on another finger on the left hand, this is for my grandad who passed, represents new life and how seeds grow forever 4: other hand kindle finger is a crown, this represents a quote (I don’t like long quotes on myself), but this is the quote from Moriarty from Benny’s Sherlock that he says “the man with the key is king, and honey you should see me in a crown”. Fun fact, this also inspired the song “you should see me in a crown” by Billie Eilish 5: on my right hand on another finger, I have 4 in Roman numerals (IV) - this is for my dad and my step mum. It’s the number 4 because that was the age she came into my life. I’m 28 now and she’s still here and going strong. It’s in Roman numerals for my dad because he teaches Latin, Greek and is head of the classics department at his school. 6: left wrist is the deathly hallows tattoo. My love for Harry Potter (I can separate the author from the work please don’t h8 me). HP was my first introduction at age 9 to stories and literature. Also I love the story of the three brothers. 7: left forearm I have an arrow (matching with my step sister), we grew up loving and playing archery 8: next to the arrow on the tip is a star for my dog called Star that passed away 9: right arm across from the star is a paw print, this is for my other dog called Buddy who died 9 months before Star. 10: under the law print is one of my favourites and most recent - it’s a circle and inside it is Alcatraz island in San Francisco. Fine like work and beautiful! I got it after going to San Fran on my own for the first time ever and on for my 24th (I think) birthday. It was one of the most content I’ve ever been and I’ve been obsessed with san Fran and the island ever since (I went back the year after and got a photo of me and my tattoo on the ferry to the island!) 11: left arm is a rose in flames - this was the EP artwork for the song Wrecked by Imagine Dragons. They’re my fave band of all time and have seen them live multiple times. Again I don’t do lyrics so this = basically the whole song. Please check out the song and listen to the lyrics. It hits hard. 12: right arm just below the shoulder is an owl, I basically love owls and they’re my fave animals of all time 13: and the last but definitely not the last one, under the owl on my right bicep is a hummingbird taking flight from geodes/diamonds. This is for my other nanny who passed away. She used to have glass animal figurines and would always talk about them and put them out when we came to visit ❤

I have 7 tattoos so far most of them related to bts 😅😅😅 my most recent one and probably my fav is from Namjoon's song still life and it's a hummingbird breaking free from a potrait. And then i have 2 tattoos for animes HXH and Yona of the dawn. And then i have an Inej quote from Crooked Kingdom which was actually my 1st tattoo.

    Your tattoos are beautiful!! And you also have a tattoo set for the starless sea. That is one of my favorite books and one day i will also get a tattoo for that.😁 I have 11 tattoos a heartbeat between two music notes, mom dad and heart, bibliophile, half sunflower, a rose for beauty and the beast, 11:11, rêveur, 'lets pretend' (alices favorite phrase from alice in wonderland), dainty moon and sun and 'rare' because of the album rare . My favorite one would be the rêveur tattoo i got because of the night circus. I adore the night circus and i just wanted to be a part of it ever since i finished it and so i got rêveur tattooed on me. Now i always have a part of that world with me.
