Cassie, your tattoo is so sick! I love it.
My Sick Puppies inspired tattoo is a line from "White Balloons".

"Angels lift me, Are you with me? I'm holding onto you like I'm holding onto white balloons. Carry me away..."

I'm probably put that on my inner arm. Also I want lillies on my side and I'm getting my nana's name with a butterfly on her first intial.

I am what is known as a collector. I have 53 tattoos and I'm still getting more, so by the time I'm done I'll have everything covered except my hands, neck, and head.

To actually walk around with most of my tattoos exposed is a very different experience. I get stared at a lot and random people come up to me and just start asking questions. I have never been openly discriminated against which but peoples demenor and posture changes when they see most of my visable tattoos.

To actually post a photo of every single tattoo I have would take up multiple reply pages and some of them I wouldn't even be able to post. I'll just list them all starting at my feet and working my way up.

L. Foot-Rooster
R. Foot-Pig
L. Shin-the names Teresa, Marx, Mandela, Engles going down
R. Shin-the names Luther, King, Kennedy, and Gandhi going down
L. Calf-a traditional "Love Thy Neighbor" and a Mermaid
R. Calf-Sacred Heart and a Mermaid
Both Knees-traditional sugar skulls
Back of Both Knees-Hinges
L. Thigh-Half sleeve with Poseidon in front, a koi fish on the outer side and phoenix in the back
R. Thigh-Half sleeve with a dragon in front and a tiger in the back
Butt-Propellers
Stomach-"Just Go Away"
Chest-2 Hula Girls, a Tall Ship, 2 sparrows
Collar-"I Hate Everyone"
L. & R. Ribs-Mermaids
Back (from left to right, bottom to top)-Prinny, Souleater, Etna, Omni-Wrench 9000, Tonberry, TMNT, Jeane, Thundercats, Voltron, Transformers, "Leave Me Alone"
Armpits-Spider webs
L. Forearm-Samurai & Demon half sleeve
R. Forearm-Lady Luck, Traditional Skull and Anchor half sleeve
L. Upper Arm-Pinup on the outside and a mermaid on the inside
R. Upper Arm-Pinup on the outside, dagger on the bicep and a mermaid on the inside (I'll be adding a snake to the back of this arm tomorrow)
Shoulders-Nautical Stars

If you have any questions about getting tattooed please don't hesitate to ask me. I've either had it done to me or seen it done while I've been getting other work done.

Wow. That is a lot. I hope to eventually have sleeves. I doubt I'll be able to stop there, but we'll see...

[ckiemnstr345]

I honestly thought I would have been done after about 4 or 5 but I just kept on getting more. If I knew that I was going to get a full suit by the time I was done I would have gone in with a more specific design plan instead of just getting what I wanted at that time.

i dont have any sp tats...YET but here is my fav


going around my ankle says 'dream'

[Cassie]

^^very cool. My one sleeve is probably going to be all music related. I was considering doing something with the staff...like doing a spiral on my shoulder or something...I just want to come up with a way to make it a bit more unique.(like the stars around yours, etc...)

Brittany, I really like that! I wish I could do something like that, but I'm a teacher and tattoos are definitely frowned upon in my field.

I want to get something on the inside of my wrist, but I would have to get it small so that i would be able to hide it with a watch or bracelet.

[brittany_71]

thanks jami! i think cute little tats on the wrists are very sweet and simple but also have meaning! and cassie i think that sounds awesome but you have to think about it for a while and make it your own, i thought about the tattoo on my foot for months and finally went in there and told him exactly what i wanted and it turned out great. i wanted something that represents me and music is my life and i always follow my dreams. let me know what you come up with!!

[angelbear425]

Hey Cassie, Do you know anywhere in the area that doesn't charge a minimum fee for tattoos? For my other 2 they charged a $50 minimum when I got them done. I didn't even know they did that until I wanted to get a 3rd and they told me that all tats cost a minimum of $50 no matter how small they are.

Places around there have a minimum charge?! That's strange, I've never heard of that.

[angelbear425]

Yea I went to Marc's for both of mine. The shamrock was $50 and my butterfly was $100 (not really sure why because it's only a little bigger than my shamrock, but it could be because more color was used). I really only want one more so I think I may just not get it instead of spending like $40 or $50 on something tiny.

Thanks tho! I will check out Slingin Ink if I decide to have it done.
