Tattoo Contest!
Tattoos are a great way to express art.
More accepted in today's society, we can express the things we enjoy through body art and we can also pay great homage to people we care about as well.
I have a total of 10 tattoos. Although 1 has been covered up which brings me down to 9 and 1 is not finished yet.
Here are a few pics that I have of mine.
This one is one represents my husband and I. He is the capricorn and I am the scorpio.
This one represents my family tree, only its branches. The bottom flower is my husband. He keeps me grounded and he is the roots to our family. I am the flower on the left higher up. I keep the family growing and together. Keeping us close and within. The 3 flowers at the top are my kids. They are at the top as they keep growing and their roads will lead to many options. The other small flowers, buds and floating petals represent the rest of my family in the background; my parents, my aunts and uncles, cousins etc.
My spirit guide, the fox. And as a woman, I am tied to the moon and all it's beauty.
My biological father has never been in my life. My mother remarried when I was 11. My stepfather has been nothing less than my idol, my hero, my father and the grandfather to my children.
This is a representation of me. My wildside, my style, my fin. Also I drew this one. You won't find this on pinterest.
This is a 3 in one soon to be a 5 or more in one lol. The ankh is an older tattoo. To show 2 things, my love for ancient egypt and the gamer side of me. Anubis and Aries are the latest of my tattoos. So far I have had 3 appointments 3 hrs long each of tattooing. Not finished. Its to be a back piece that tells my lifes story. A story I will write about when its done in november.
Enough about me and my tattoos, I want to see yours!

Thanks @hickorymack. I love your post. I felt tranquil while reading it :) It's soft and meaningful. Awesome entry. Good luck <3
Cool tattoos! Great contest. I gabbed a screenshot of this cool piece my artist did. It's not my tattoo.
I like the saying and the thumbs up there :p
Hey foxy I have no tattoos so can't participate in this awesome contest but best of luck to you withing you grand success. And you have really great tattoos
Thanks svk! It is going good I think :)
I love your tatoos @foxyspirit! Especially the ancient Egypt ones...I too love that time in history. I never had any tattoos until I met Brian, and now I have three. The first one has the most significance for us though, and that's the one I chose to share with you.
This one is very special to me. When Brian and I met, we discovered our love of ravens and I've always loved cherry blossoms. The two ravens represent us, flying towards each other, because it felt like we had been moving towards each other our entire lives. The other two important men in my life were my two boys, so I needed to incorporate them in this too. The bottom pic is on one hip; a raven taking flight, which represented my oldest son who was preparing to leave home. On my other hip is a picture (not shown here) of a raven sitting in a nest on the tree branch. It signified my younger son at the time, still at home 'in the nest'. And ravens in real life, mate and stay together for a lifetime; also the idea of 'family' is huge with them as well. It just seemed a perfect combination. Enjoy:)
WOW! This is a nice tattoo. Lot's of heart put in to this. I didn't know that about ravens, I think its pretty neat actually.
But I have to say, that has had to hurt! Placement is beautiful, you are stronger than me for sure. I have one placed where your cherry blossoms are and man.... my skin was jumping on its own. Another Anubis tattoo. Good for you! Love the meaning ^_^ xx
Hey thanks! Yep, it hurt like hell:) And I have two surgery scars under there as well and didn't realize how tattooing over scars is also very painful. I did one session for all the outlining and then considered not colouring it haha I went through it, obviously, but given the choice, I wouldn't place it there again!!
Glad you like the raven info...they really are so cool. Research it if you ever get time (now that's funny; add it to your to-do list lol), but they actually hold funerals as well. They really are very social and very intelligent!
They hold funerals?? Really? Now that is something worth checking out.
And I agree with you, the one I have in that area... EEK not sure I will get another one there lol
Here is my ink story!!!

He used to be my favorite artist. Getting tats here in my country is much cheaper compared overseas
OOO he is good isnt he. I've been tattooed by a few different people from as I moved around. Here is the latest artist I have https://www.facebook.com/pg/tatouage-117-190706420959648/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1236025836427696
Good ones too. I've always dreams of 3D red rose tattoo. I know it's pretty common but if it's bright and light I know it's gonna be beautiful.
Thats true. The 3D ones are intense!
Aj, you'll be able to save up! Steemit is the best ♥
Here's mine. 😍
