Tattoo Tuesday 05/03/13

This weeks Tattoo Tuesday will share the 'Swallow'.

I love this tattoo - and after googling it - I now know the several meanings for having it:

1 - One swallow was tattooed on a sailor who sailed 5,000 nautical miles. Two swallows meant 10,000 miles travelled. 

2 - Swallow with dagger in heart - Friend lost at sea.

3 - Bird on Hand or Neck - Jailbird.

4 - A sailor gets a set of swallows on his chest, The story goes if he or she drowns, the swallows come down and lift his soul to the heavens. 

I imagine these girls below dont have it for any of the above reasons - I think perhaps they just like the designs same as me :)










Do you like these?? Would the meanings put you off having one?

Tattoo Tuesdays 05/02/13


I have decided - as I am a MASSIVE tattoo fan - to start a Tattoo Tuesday feature. I have seen these on blogs and I love them. 
I will pick one tattoo every Tuesday and post it on my blog. 

My favourite source for Tattoos is http://fyeahtattoos.com/archive Its one long continuous page of tattoos. Quirky, Sentimental, Massive, Girly, Arty tattoos from all over. In fact I have posted my tattoos on here a few times - though Ive never seen them on the page :(

Todays tattoo is My own. I got this done last October, I had wanted it done for years but never got round to it. I found one tattoo I liked from fyeah - then googled similar images so I could give them to my local tattoo shop to design my own. 

The three drawings below are the actual designs I took in:


This is the original image that inspired my choice. Im so glad she had hers or I never would have had mine :)


This is the design that the lovely fella at Zooz Tattoos in Portsmouth designed for me. I didnt see it until the day before and was so nervous about it in case I had to tell him to change bits! 

But I absolutely loved it :)


Here is my tattoo a few hours after getting it done.
It took three hours in total - and cost £120 which is amazing for the size and shading of it!
It didnt hurt getting it done - I bled a lot but he complimented my sit-still ability :)

I kept it covered for a few hours, cleaned it and covered it with Bepanthen. I then let nature take its course and it healed in a few days with regular coats of cream and gentle washes. 


Here it is a few days after, still red but not sore :) 


An Instagram piccie for my FB. 


...And this was taken a few days ago :) I still love it, and It catches my eye whenever I look in the mirror as it comes over my shoulder slightly. 



I hope you all love it as much as I do...I would recommend waiting  a year before getting a tattoo. I have chopped and changed my mind over so many designs over the years - But once you know the one for you - wait a year and if you still love the idea of it then - get it! 

I really want a Pin Up Girl for my next one - havent decided where or who yet, but I found a brilliant Pin Up design website and am choosing from a few I love <3 p="">

Do You Tattoo?

I love tattoo's, i love to look at them and i love to get them. I can quite happily sit for hours on Flickr and browse other peoples cute/weird/original tattoos!

I have three myself, My first was when i was 17...i got this purely because i wanted to say i had a tatto! It wasnt the best design, but it was something i made up myself and i wanted all my tattoos to be original.





Its is a basic...squiggle? It sits on my lower stomach and is around 3 1/2 inches long.


My second was inspired by cheryl cole, not that i particularly love her, i just loved her tattoo! I thought about this tattoo for ages...not sure what exactly to get, but i found a picture of a butterfly i liked on flickr and recreated it. I like this one, its simple and isnt wildly noticable.





I like that if im on my phone in town, people get a quick glimpse, and you can always see them double take.


My newest one i got last summer in portugal, I love this one! Its so pretty and ive always wanted a writing tattoo. The words of the beatles song seemed so right, i LOVE the song! It looks very cute with pumps and skinny jeans or with heels and a tan!




I am contemplating my next one, perhaps a behind the ear one,
or side of the wrist.


Do you have any tattoos? Or any fave tattoo pics?
