Very nice Joe, thanks for sharing that, and I have a new one but haven't taken a photo of it yet, but I will and post it for you to see. It is of a hummingbird, I love it.

Very nice Joe! Great artwork and detail. I have a friend that was a warm up jockey for that horse. Your Dad had great taste! You enjoy horses too?

[nevjoe]

I LOVE THEM. Horses move with such beauty and strength. I road them for years when I was a kid. My cousin Tommy was a jockey. I love Secretariat, my heart was with Ruffin. A female who won the women’s Triple Crown races. She was undefeated and ran a match race with Foolish Pleasure, (Kentucky Derby winner) and broke her leg while winning, but she couldn’t finish the race.

A lovely gesture Joe in memory of your dad

 

 

Can we have a piccy Judy ?

It hurts, there is no doubt, depending on the fatty tissue, it hurts less or worse...I've got three, a frog on the top of my foot with tree branch around my ankle, a butterfly on left ankle and a four leaf clover w/ a rainbow ribbon at the bottom of my back. Just remember it hurt MORE to have the tattoos removed than to get it done in the first place, so make sure its what you want, I work for a doctors office that does the laser procedure, and alot of people say its so much worse than getting the tattoo in the first place.

[CursingLlama]

Too add to that I've done good research on the laser procedures prior to getting mine. Not only does it supposedly hurt more than getting it in the first place it typically takes more than 1 session to completly remove a tatoo especially if you have lots of colors like I do, and your paying per session (it cost a lot I forget the pricing but honestly thats enough)

 

Not trying to discourage anyone from getting one just saying you might wanna think about it and get an original design rather than one off the wall (unless of course thats what you REALLY want)

[Talon]

Not to mention the scarring that is left behind after the laser treatments. In most cases I have seen, the tattoo looks better than the scarring.

Remember, you have to live with that tattoo even into your old age.

[CursingLlama]

Laser treatments today have very little scarring. The issue is that not everyone who has a laser to do the procedure is really qualified to do it. Some are even tatoo artists who also offer removal... If you are going to get it done pay more and have a doctor do it, or at the very least talk to a few who've had it done by the individual and look at there scars. Larger the tattoo the more visable the scar as well of course.

I think it is so true and nothing to be nervous about posting, I love it:lol: :whistle:

I have 3 tattoos. A bull on my hip as I am a Taurus, some tribal on my lower back and this on my foot. It is a plumeria flower with the words "I AM I" around it. My brother has these words on his chest and it kinda means I am who I am, take it or leave it.

 

[pooky]

Hi ClaireBear that is a lovely flower so colourful as well:)
