ORIGINAL: SweetEscravo
My dom and I have been talking about getting tatoos for each other that symbolize our relationship.
A really splendid idea and one my Queen & I had quite some time ago. We had kanji done - Her's for Queen at the base of her spine and mine for Submit or Submissive at the top of my spine.
quote:
The plan is to get the exact same tatoo, his on his shoulder or arm, and me on my hip. We both want the BDSM emblem to be present in it somehow, but we also want to incorporate symbols that are personal to each of us as well, to make it more individualized. Does anyone here have something similar, or simply a tatoo that symbolizes their devotion to a Master or slave? If so, what does it look like and what might you suggest?
Here's the real problem, isn't it? You want a design that's special to the two of you and wonder if anyone else has something like it. Well, of course the answer is going to be yes, but the "special to you" part isn't going to be answsered very well. A few folks have suggested putting together some drawings of things and bringing them to your tattoo artist and that's something I'd like to echo. However, the "artist" part of that phrase is the critical part, no? Look, you're going to have these things for a long, long time (we all hope so, anyway!) and you deserve to have something beautiful to mark the relationship. Shop around. Find tattoo artists in your area and visit them until you find someone who does the kind of work that speaks to you. When you bring a pile of sketches to a good artist, they'll be happy to draw things for you that make sense.
Look, when I was small, I had a horse who could count to ten. And add two numbers (as long as they were, like, 5 and 5, or 6 and 4) or guess your age (as long as you were, say, 10 years old). Get the point? Well, there are lots (and lots and lots and lots) of "tattoo artists" out there who can make pretty much anything look like a Harley Davidson logo. As long as that's something you want to symbolize your relationship (Vroom! Vroom!), then you're golden. Anything else will require some effort proportional to the importance of the image you will both carry forever.
My Queen & I are looking for a new tattoo for me that has a deeper meaning than "submissive" and we've spent months designing the darn thing. We've finally gotten the thing down to what we want and how we want it portrayed. We even have the artist figured out. Next comes the final drawings from the artist and then *poof* - lots of prickly moments and a tattoo is born. In about the same amount of time as a human gets born.
Take your time. Don't get the Harley Davidson logo unless you want that.
Get what you both deserve.
All the best;
