I’m planning my next one will be a cybersigilism style tattoo with the text “keep moving forward”. I struggle with depression and rumination, so this phrase would help me avoid thinking about the past so much. These are the ones I designed (I am an illustrator).

Wile e coyote’s arm coming out of my butt holding a sign that says “help”

Next will be a pawprint of my now-deceased cat. She had a cool pattern of black and pink on one paw that I think would be a nice tattoo.

My goal is to have one memory of each of the important animals in my life tattooed somewhere. But tattoos are expensive, so it’s an ongoing project.

It’s the mark of one of the secret societies I’m in. For obvious reasons, I can’t say more.

My goal is poisonous plants, I wanna start with belladonna on my shoulder, but later I also wanna get some oleander, and I haven’t decided what else yet for the other limbs. It’s expensive though, so I haven’t gotten any tattoos yet. Soon, I have plans.

I do my own (they suck on purpose & are NSFW) so i was thinking of doing more swear words down my leg or an area i can still cover up when in public

Probably in winter. I get a tattoo or piercing almost every winter since it’s the best time to heal

Do you know the concept of kintsugi? It’s a Japanese concept where when a dish breaks, you don’t glue it back together with super glue. You glue it back together with gold. The dish is reformed, but its flaws are also on display as a thing of beauty.

Anyway, I know that gold is not necessarily something that would be conveyed well or stay that way in a tattoo.

But I am wanting a kintsugi pot with a bonsai tree growing out of it. The only color will be in the cracks or the pot. The rest I want in black and gray. I’m wanting it on my thigh.

Problem is I have been putting off getting more tattoos for the summer because you can’t swim for like 3 weeks ish after getting one. But I’m a very impatient person!!

First one was a simple tree. I like trees.

Next one is going to be a possum dressed as a medieval knight with a lance riding on a snail.

My first tattoo was done in a shack with a DIY tattoo kit ordered online.

Afterwards we had DIY beer made with a Mr. Beer kit ordered online.

I do not have any tattoos yet, but if I start, my first one will be the text “Don’t panic” in big friendly letters. Probably somewhere on my lower arm, for me to read if necessary.

I’ve been fleshing out some naturalist motif of a skull on a pike wrapped in ivy growths. Or on a staff. Maybe with a snake, in homage to the Rod of Asclepius. Figure it’s a good forearm piece.

Or a bird. It always comes back to birds. There’s just a bird for every feeling. A peregrine in a dive, a phoenix taking its throne, a blackbird living life, a raven brooding, an owl observing, a hawk soaring, a seagull eating French fries, a vulture scavenging, a hummingbird hovering, a parrot shouldered, so many options.

I have no intention of getting a tattoo, but will probably have a number tattooed on my forearm when I get hauled away to the Woke Detention Camp.

My first and only tattoo is Captain America’s shield with a ribbon flowing around it that says, “I’m with you ‘til the end of the line” on my right bicep.

I am a huge Cap fan and what he stands for (e.g., the Dream, people’s rights such as minorities and lgbtq, fighting gov corruption including the US). My son was also superhero obsessed as a kid and so the quote is something said in the movies between Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes (best friends) and it’s sort of my mantra and promise to my family along with the shared superhero enjoyment with my son.

Another I thought about was for my left bicep and the Mythosaur skull with Aurebesh writing that says “This is the way” with it split between top and bottom and curved around the skull.

If I could think of a really cool D&D one, I might do that as a DM and player.
