Believe it or not, you are not the only one who doesn't get it. So many people ask if bf's name is Jack and he gets mad. LOL Or, people will ask me who Jack is. Uh, if you don't know who Jack Sparrow is, then if I have a man's name tattooed on my body, who do you think he is?

It is really beautiful and you had really good taste for a 24 year old. Did you design it yourself?
No I didn't design it. I found something in a design magazine from an artist's spread and gave it to my tattoo artist and he played around with the proportions. Originally the red parts were very very long and the flowers in the middle were very small.

I was 18 when I got first two tattoos.. I have a panda on the outside of my foot in between my toes and heels (on the side of foot). I also got two stars on my lower inside of my hip on the SAME day

My other one me and my sister got together last year, lets see I was 20, and we both got a heart and a moon (we used to tell each other we loved one another all the way to the moon, became a family thing) I got mine really small on the inside of my ankle.

I assumed it was Jack Sparrow, but I always wondered why not the name Jack Sparrow? Now I know.

My first tattoo I was fifteen. I have four, and even though I am young the all very symbolic and I know I never regret them. They commemorate my escape from Russia and the power and beauty of my family.

So happy for you. Very meaningful doesn't begin to describe your reasons. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful Avatar pic! And I love when the tattoos have a wonderful meaning behind them.

What is the most painful place to get a tattoo? Is there a hierarchy from most painful to least? Does it vary person to person?

I feel like the more fleshy the more pain. But at the tattoo parlor they will say it hurts no matter where you get it.

I have a peace dove w my brothers initials ( he passed away), on my other hip. Then I got the birth month flowers of my kids on my foot. I also have an angel on the back of my neck. I still want more!! They are addicting. I don't regret any. But I think kids should wait until they are older !! Chris

I love the birth month flowers idea. My next will have the pics of the meanings of my children's names incorporated with one another.

My husband says the lower back one is a "tramp stamp". I don't care what anyone calls anything. I got that tattoo just because I wanted one. BTW, It is a hot pink pointed daisy with a smiley face for the center and some vine & leaves. My own design. Oh and now that I'm 40 it doesn't quite cover as much of my back like it did when I got it.

Really? I thought the opposite. the one on my back, he started in the middle (the black part) and it didn't really hurt, but when he got to the shoulder blades, where I'm pretty bony there, it hurt SO bad! Then the part nearer to my arms hardly hurt at all!

The Jack on my arm, it didn't hurt mostly, but then in certain parts (very small bits) I think he hit a nerve or something, and it felt like pain was shooting up and down my arm.

The one I got on the inside of my wrist didn't hurt too bad but the one my husband got on his ring finger.... he said it definitely didn't feel good! The one he got on his arm wraps around pretty closed to the very inside (close to the underarm) but doesn't go full-circle. He said that one was pretty ouchy close to each end.

I got my first one at 18, it's on my lower back and is a butterfly with eyes on the wings the same color as mine and some tribals around it. Next one I was 19 and got the Scorpio M on the inside of my right wrist, and also got an Ouroboros with an infinity symbol between my shoulder blades. At 20 is got the Kanji symbol for eternity with my BF initials over my ankle and also added Scorpio in Chinese to my right wrist. For my 26th birthday I got the Kanji & BF(ex) initials covered with an American Indian Angel sitting on a tree stump that looks like it has wolves carved into it.

Been married for 5 years (not to initials on my ankle) and i finally got it covered last year.

And today I'm going to get a star behind my ear or on my foot by my pinky toe, not decided.

Future tattoo is a memorial for my grandmothers... it's a heart with angel wing wrapped around it and a halo above. Inside the heart says "till we meet again" and it has their initials in there too. I draw it this weekend.

I like the gparents memorial ideas. I was always thinking of getting a hummingbird for my gpa. he loved to garden and whenever there was one flying in the yard he would always call out to me to come look at it.
