I personally would not have a tattoo-not because I don't like them but because I am a wimp, and far too indecisive to ever actually settle on one I liked for more then five minutes :roll: I really really like yours though ami_j, it's lovely :) and the ultimate commitment to being a rat lady forever and ever!!

SD I am an utter wimp :blush:

My dad loves tattoos and has his own gun, he's always trying to make me have one but I do not dare. Although it would obviously be a cat or some description :love:

Id have Pippa's name done one day but doubt it will go down to well with the hubby. Im about to get my 7th done and that has taken alot of persuading.

A lad i know had a full portrait of his gsd on his bicep. That looked really good.

I have a little black cat, but it's not in the sort of place that one could take a photo of for public display ;)

It's there in honour of my ginger girly Merlin who I had for 15 years, but ginger and white tattoos don't really work too well, so a black silhouette also signs me up as a mad cat woman and also represents all of my cats past, present and future too.

I have a little black cat too, on my foot which I have had for 12 years. I also had some dog paw prints on my back two years ago.

I found the Japanese symbol for Takara (it's a japanese word) and it's really quite pretty. Have saved it and when I finally pluck up the courage (probably when that dreaded day comes when I lose her and I'm so overcome with grief I'll do anything) I'm going to have it on the inside of my forearm at my wrist.

Don't know off the top of my head, but I know it was someone on the south coast. Might be easier contacting the photobucket account holder their on.

Tattoos don't hurt, the best way to describe them is 'uncomfy'. It's the boredom that did me more, sat in the same spot for over an hour at time sucks.

Rare Treasure :D

Well that's the meaning I chose... it depends on the context - it can also mean precious, expensive, jewel etc. etc. but I chose it for the Treasure.

Im the biggest wimp where needles are concerned but i have to admit it didnt hurt it was annoying a bit like some one rubbing a brillo pad on your skin but not hurtful.

Wish i could say mine was a lovely tribute but it was just a stupid mistake that i lied and had done at 14 :loopy:
