I find tattos absolute offputting. Specially on women[:'(]


Oh well. [:D]

I love the look of a well-tattooed woman. Positively gorgous! More for me! [:)]

I know what you mean, Aqua. The tat behind the ear.. almost no pain at all and it rather surprised me. (My daughter also got ink behind her ear.. a treble clef and it turned out really well). The one on my ankle though? As my friend Kimmy says.. it was a right painful mother of a bitch! ::laughs:: I didn't cry though.. just sweat a little. ::laughs::


That's odd. I would expect ankle to hurt because it's just skin on bone but I would think behind the ear would hurt for the same reason. BTW, now that I'm thinking about it, I want to get something behind my ear. Valyraen and his bank account may curse you for starting this thread! [;)]

But mostly I love tattoos because how often do you actually get to literally suffer for your art?



Heh... I did in college a lot. I suffered being cold while painting myself nude at midnight in the art department when no one else would be there cause I was too broke (and cheap) to hire a model. And I cut my fingers open trying to turn disgarded soda and beer can into art about the enviroment in a miserable attempt to impress a teacher... and then there was the time when (for the same teacher) I got sent into the woods and was nearly bitten by a venomous snake... and all the times that I got burned with hot glue guns. Oh and (same teacher as above) kept making me work outside in the dead of winter even when it was explained to him that I am allergic to the cold (my skin welts, itches and my hands start to swell) and have cold-induced asthema...

I mean... not that I'm still bitter over it or anything... [:'(]

My daughter went first with hers and when she said it didn't hurt that much I thought she was under-exaggerating but then I had mine and maybe because it was so quick (only about 15 mins from start to finish) there wasn't time for the pain to set in. There were a few owie moments, but not that bad. The ankle tat, though, took about two hours and about half-way through I was sweating a bit and doing some old lamaze breathing to get through! [:D]

Is there shading in the ankle tat? I found the linework on mine to be an utter breeze but the color and shading got me.

None of my tattoos is specifically BDSM related, but I have round, 3" circles of bare flesh on the tops of my wrists that I've been looking for symbols to put in.  My right arm is all Life imagery: flowers, foilage, water, and women.  My left arm is all Death imagery: skulls, knives, snakes and fire.

I've known for awhile that I wanted to get the Sacred Chao, a variant on the Yin-Yang symbol from Discordianism, on my left wrist.  But I had no idea what to match with on the right.  Recently I've started thinking a Triskaleon, which is also a variant Yin-Yang, on that spot.



I really like that duality, Psychonaut.. it appeals to my Pisces nature. ::grins::



Owlet -> RE: BDSM and Ink (1/5/2010 3:52:39 PM)

I really like the quill, it's pretty!

I haven't gone to get a tattoo myself. I've thought about different ones over the years, mostly comic book related or of my own design, but never went through with it because if my father ever found out, he'd burst into manly tears. It's sounds childish for a grown woman, who's been out on her own for a good while to say, but I wouldn't want to make him sad! [:D] He may just have to deal with it though. Master and I have talked about it recently, getting some sort of mark on my ankle that means something to just us. We're not sure what that is though yet. For now it's just fun to think about.

Yes, every link in the chain is shaded.. and that was the owie part of the ear tat as well.. the shading on the ink drop. I hadn't thought of that actually. I'll see if Himself will take one more pic because I don't think I have one on this computer and see if I can't upload that one as well.



Elizabeth666 -> RE: BDSM and Ink (1/5/2010 3:55:23 PM)


Pics of the new ink I got! The shoulder pieces are new, cover up :)

Great tats, Elizabeth!! Thank you so much for sharing!

Owlet - I understand about the Father thing. Himself got my ankle tat when I was 39 and my dad was *not* happy but I was about pleasing Master, not dad so that was that.

General - Himself said he would take a pic of my ankle tat, but to wait till tomorrow since he had to go to bed, so I'll post that tomorrow to show the shading and why that was a bita ouchie ow. :)



Elizabeth666 -> RE: BDSM and Ink (1/5/2010 4:32:39 PM)

Thanks! Shading sucks ass, I wanted to punch my friend who was doing the tats in the face LOL



DomImus -> RE: BDSM and Ink (1/5/2010 4:33:56 PM)

I met a couple at a Christmas party a year ago. Newlyweds. Then they both got inked. Hers is on her back. A yin yang symbol with their names and wedding date. His tattoo was her name tattooed across his chest. This year at the same event's Christmas party she attended with her sister. He left her a month ago for another woman. Not entirely on topic but the thread brought my tattoo story to mind.



AquaticSub -> RE: BDSM and Ink (1/5/2010 4:37:53 PM)

This is why we don't put our names on each other and I plan on only getting our children's birthdays on me. [:)]



BitaTruble -> RE: BDSM and Ink (1/5/2010 4:40:55 PM)

DomImus.. now *that* is a real ouchie story!



BitaTruble -> RE: BDSM and Ink (1/5/2010 4:44:53 PM)

My daughter did something similar with one of her tats, Aqua. She just got a cherry branch going down her right side with several flowers and some extra branches. Four of the branches end in a curl with each curl ending in a scripted first initial for each of her four sons. It's quite pretty, I think and I'm a little proud that I helped her to design it. It turned out really well and her husband loves it. Like you, neither her husband nor she will put each others names on as they fear to jinx the relationship but they both have some really nice tats. He also has sleeves some of which are pretty damn scary looking!



Dominasola -> RE: BDSM and Ink (1/5/2010 5:09:45 PM)

Although I did not have BDSM symbolism in mind when I got my tattoos done (they were all done before I was ever actively pursuing a D/s dynamic), I find it intriguing that they still represent my philosophy of a D/s or M/s relationship.

One of them is a very simple depiction of two crescent moons; the meaning behind it is very similar to a yin-yang.  I modeled the design after the imagery of a spiral galaxy, with the idea that the dual nature of the tattoo represents the striving for perfection. This is represented by the potential for the two moons to join together into a circle...the perfect shape. Thinking in terms of BDSM, it represents harmony - the give-and-take nature of a symbiotic relationship. It is my belief that a relationship - especially one of a D/s or M/s flavour - is only successful if both partners dedicate equal levels of dedication, even if they be the opposing forces of domination and submission.

I also have the kanji for "horse." I got this symbol not for the sake of having horsey imagery on my body, but rather for what the figure of the horse represents to me.  It represents freedom, power, strength, fluidity, and grace...but it is also in a horse's nature to submit.  It it always a beautiful sight to watch a horse and its master moving in harmony together - not because the person beat the horse into submission, but because the horse deemed the person to be a good leader...and willingly surrenders all that it is to its master.  The level of trust that can exist in the relationship between a horse and a human being is truly a beautiful thing.

I love mine, I have a very large ornate dragon on my back in shades of green, very old school Chinese style, took about 5.5 hours and did it in one sitting, the pain was bearable for most part, and that was 8 years ago. Two years ago I got another Asian style dragon on my left shoulder, which was about 1.5 hours. My next one will be for symmetry, I can't stand not having one on my other shoulder [:)]. I am getting what is called a Kirin, or Qilin or Quirin, depending on the Japanese, Korean or Chinese wording. It is a fascinating creature and the story behind it is very meaningful to me. I am thinking the time is now because I keep looking at various images.

"Although it looks fearsome, the Qilin only punishes the wicked. It can walk on grass yet not trample the blades and it can also walk on water. Being a peaceful creature, its diet does not include flesh. It takes great care when it walks never to tread on any living thing, and it is said to appear only in areas ruled by a wise and benevolent leader (some say even if this area is only a house). It is normally gentle but can become fierce if a pure person is threatened by a sinner, spouting flames from its mouth and exercising other fearsome powers that vary from story to story."


I love that story. Of course I was married to a native Asian of Korean/Chinese descent for 22 years so I have an affinity for Asian culture, in most forms.



Valyraen -> RE: BDSM and Ink (1/5/2010 5:12:16 PM)

I've not gotten inked yet, but I'm very strongly leaning toward getting a paw print on my chest, probably the center of the left pectoral. It's strongly tied, not into BDSM per se, but into my very feline nature, which I've begun to embrace in recent years.

Also, I've been considering the words "geek life" in Aurabesh (the predominant "language" used in Star Wars merchandise and the like), just for the sake of showing it and seeing who gets it.



wisdomtogive -> RE: BDSM and Ink (1/5/2010 5:30:37 PM)

I have zero tattoos only because i am scared of needles. If i wasn't i would have a lot of metaphysical symbols or Pre-Raphaelite art done on me. But for now I just am a groupie and look at the art daily.:)



UniqueRaven -> RE: BDSM and Ink (1/5/2010 5:38:43 PM)

i have tattoos on my lower legs that i got in college when i was studying wildlife biology - frogs and geckos, to be exact.

i'm now in the process of having them removed via the laser tattoo removal - my decision because they've turned out to be too inconvenient to cover when necessary, i.e. wearing a short dress to a formal occasion.

A note to all - that laser freakin' HURTS.  Like a lot - and afterwards the skin is burned, looks like i'm a burn victim or something (in a way i am) with big blisters and all.  Takes about 2 - 3 weeks to heal.  And you have to wait 3 months minimum between treatments, and it takes 10+ treatments to get them all gone, so i have made a commitment of years before they're all gone.

Anyway, just thought i'd share for those who get tattoos that they may later reconsider - like someone's name or something like that. [:)]

Oh, and now all my friends want me to talk to their daughters about how they need to be "really sure" before they get a tattoo.  Yes, i am a walking after-school special......
