I hate tattoos, although I don't mind small ones on the small of a girls back or below the belt on a side like you mentioned..

Yep. Well 127 this morning. I think that's water weight though. But I have been trying to lift weights so perhaps I put on a little more muscle.


you seem to have an unhealthy pre-occupation with your weight...

I would actually call it healthy. I have a really small build and am trying to gain a bit of muscle by lifting weights. I actually had some fruit for breakfast this morning, so that's a step in the right direction.
Gaining muscle by eating fruit, huh. Interesting.

Well I'm not going to wrap them around my neck or arms or stomach. Just something small, and not viewable until you..well..nevermind.

That's not what I meant. People were getting onto me about not eating enough fruit and vegetables. I just eat lean pockets. So I ate fruit. It has nothing to do with the muscle I gained.

I <3 my tat, got it like 4 years ago. Actually been looking for a new one, although your tigger is about the worst idea I have seen in a long time.

This one is hot and no i'm not religious

I thought about it but thats just too much. I like my tigger idea.
I know someone who has a curious george tattoo in the spot I want mine. It was hot.

Looks like it would hurt. Damn. How long before you could wear a shoe after that tattoo?

That's about right where I want mine. Just smaller and on the right.

not a big fan of tattoos, esp. shoulder. When you say side of hip, do you mean on the outside (on your hip) or on the inside (heading toward pubic area)? the former is just silly, but a small accent in the latter location could be sexy. Not sure I would go with that image of tigger. Not anything wrong with it, per se, but imo, it's not going to be "cute" unless it's smaller than 1.5" - an accent rather than a wall poster.

Just like this one except smaller and on the right. It would not be big at all and only viewable when I am not wearing pants.

That would work. Personally wouldn't want to see it any taller than the height of the sleeve on those hands. Are you set on the tigger because it means something, or have you been thinking about other options?

Not set on Tigger.
I thought about a little black Gecko.
But a cartoon character expresses a playful side, which I have.
I just can't think of a better cartoon character to express a playfully side. And of course being it is where it is, it will only be seen by someone I take my pants off for. So I'd like it to have a sexual playfulness to it. If that makes any sense.

Yeah, I had to go scuba diving the very next day for work...hence the reason why I'm having to touch it up so soon after (got it in June). I was able to wear shoes fine....I just laced them very loosely and wore sandals in the shade as often as possible.....A&D was my best friend too.

Being winter now I'll just have to deal. But I figure I can take the opportunity to do it now whilst my foot can be dry over the Xmas break since I won't be working afterall, and get a good 11 days to heal properly before going back to the grind.

Just in those real boney spots on the outside of the foot, and at the ankle-joint-area....and up oin the achilles area...God that hurt like a bitch.

How much did that run you?
I don't know what to expect price wise.
I would like mine no bigger that 2"x2". Smaller if possible, but with color. That might actually cost more.

Anyone have one like this?
Does it hurt? That skin is kinda sensitive.
Any ideas?
dooooo eeeet

a shark would be cool.

Personally I think your tattoo would get old really fast. As in, you'd get tired of it and would possibly regret it. That location however, does seem to be popular amongst the ladies.
