All very cool..... I like the stories behind the individual tattoos or explanations....

Speaking of this topic of tattoos, I get asked all the time what the one I have on my lower leg....Explain the IM, and usually it goes over their head....

My question, if you can see a persons tattoo, can you ask about it....?  Even the nifty ones on back of  upper buttocks, breast,  facial, neck ect. ect.    As a driver of a city bus, I see every kind and I'm somewhat curious.....

 I get asked all the time. Usually it's the "didn't that hurt?" or "how long did that take" or "how much did all that cost?" questions. Or a simple "hey, i like your tats!" Ha. I don't mind and usually take the time to talk to people and refer them to the right places and educate them or amuse them for a couple minutes. Sometimes they even amuse me with their horribly wretched works of art. Fun times. Vary rarely will I reveal all.

 Everyone is curious I suppose.

I :heart: your pinups, Max

And TUREK?  SWEET tats!  

The script over the collarbone, that HAD to hurt. Right?

Thats also one of the places that gives me the willies to touch, or to touch someone elses collarbone...yuck. I can't imagine getting a tattoo there.

Aren't you in the medical field?

Yes, but collarbones and eyes FREAK me out. *shivers* In school I put Post-its over the optical chapters, esp optical injuries. Actually I didn't really read it at all, but anyway. No one touches my collarbone and I think I'll die if I ever break it.

But I have no problem stapling your head back together. Carry on.

This is the newest one on my left wrist.

I have one on my back and one on my ankle, but don't have pictures of those. 

Yes.  I don't mind talking about the tattoo itself.  I don't really appreciate questions like "did it hurt? how much did it cost?"  Yes, it hurt.  No, I'm not going to tell you how much it cost.  I'm always willing to say who did it because she did a great job and I wish more people would get better artists.

My story.....on my upper buttocks....wanted to be able to say spank my "tatoo"

That vine is getting a little out of control - you'll need to prune it.

Thanks!  I have plans to do that...just need the extra person...gimme a couple weeks... I have a visitor coming...
