Show Us Your Tattoos

[Inky]

Just like nowadays, there are less heavily tattooed women than women that don't have any or just a few, even though it may seem like everyone has tons of tattoos these days. When I started getting tattooed in 1980, there were very few girls sporting any ink, let alone full sleeves and leg work, or full body work.

I suspect there were more women with secret little tattoos back then than we will ever know about.

Bonnie Parker of "Bonnie and Clyde"

When Bonnie Parker met Roy Thornton she was only fifteen years old.
One year later they were married and Bonnie got a tattoo above her
right knee, on her thigh, of double hearts which contained both of their
names. Roy, a criminal himself was away from home for weeks at a time.
Bonnie finally got fed up and the marriage fell apart. However they
never divorced. She was wearing her wedding ring the day she died.

I have dozens of vintage photos in my private collection of unknown ladies with tattoo work from the 40's, 50's and 60's..

Ooo, please post some more!

If anyone's interested, this week I've got one of my two tattoo artists at my house in Queens tattooing all black and gray portrait work for very affordable prices!

I sincerely hope you are joking.

Fresh Ink

I just got this done by my boyfriends tattooist in Jersey:

It's traditional (think Owen Jensen style) swallows with a scripture in latin that goes across both feet..."I am to my beloved and my beloved is mine"

*Bottom picture is a little scrunched up bc of resizing but 1st one is how it actually looks

I love thoses tattoos. That is the same location that I plan on putting my future tattoo on. Is it true that putting tattoos on your feet is more painful than other areas?

I'm ink-free but several of my friends have them, and those with them on their feet say so [huh] one girl only did it on a drunken night with a 50 bet and price of the tat included she knew it hurt so bad.

I don't have good pictures of all of them, so here are my most recent:

Ha, maybe I'll get drunk before I go get it done then. lol
Oh, I've heard it hurts more on the foot but I can't seem to pick another place that I would want my tattoo on.

Don't get drunk..you will bleed a lot more than usual..alcohol makes your blood thinner.

Oh, ok, thanks for the heads up.

 

[Miss Neecerie]

Not to mention that any reputable artist would not work on an obviously drunk person .......

Tattoo's are supposed to hurt,that's part of the enjoyment.....

Thanks!! These were my first tats so I can't say for other areas on your body, but it did hurt alot. Its just skin on bone so, I'm thinking the pain level is right up there with getting your rib cage inked. But If people feel they need to be drunk to get one, then its not for them, b/c going through the pain is not only worth it, but its half the fun. I knew it would hurt and I was ready for it...but I was relaxed the whole time. I remember someone telling me once that whenever your in pain, the more relaxed you can be the less intense it will get. Not to say the pain got easier, but it gets numb after some time. Plus you get rush from the pain...in a good way. So I had a good time

Tattoo's are supposed to hurt,that's part of the enjoyment.....

This is exactly what I'm talking about.

When I got my ankle tat retouched and added too, it hurt far more than any of the others, because of the skin on bone. Of course when I got the one on my shoulder I kept jumping on occasion cause he kept hitting nerves, lol, my back is full of them!

This is what I am planning as my next tat, the skull, not the whole ring, lol, although......I got two rings for Christmas, one for my bestie and one for myself. I cant wear very often cuz my fingers like to swell. So I was thinking, get it tatted! I'm thinking of on the other side of my ankle that has the kitty. Originally I was thinking of trying to suggest he get one also, he has lots of skulls on his arm so another wouldnt be noticable, lol, but realize he prob wouldnt go for it.
