Tattoos

[Kelly Hampton]

So I was watching Mike's video and I saw alot of interesting tattoos on him. Who all has tattoos, how many, where they're located and what they are. I'll start first... I got my first one right after thirty when the company I worked for decided to implement a dress code. You have to rebel sometime and this was it. I got a Celtic half moon on my right shoulder blade. It has little shades of blue in it. It didnt really hurt. About a year ago, after watching Miami Ink and getting the fever again, I went and added on to my tattoo. On the other side of the moon I connected it with a Celtic sun which has shades of red in it. I love my tattoos because I feel that because of having freckles I was naturally tattooed at birth. Plus, you feel like a cool, tough chick with one and the guys really dig it.

almost got one about 7 years ago, was going to get my Son Bay's initials B.I.G. when I thought he was the one and only child I'd ever have...

two kids later I'm glad I held off, maybe one day, maybe when my mom dies, she hates them..

Clark just put it someplace you mom will never see it. I want to get another one sooooo bad. Ever since I could remember I've alwanted a skull and crossbones on my ass but my mother said if I mooned anyone they'd think it was a poison sign.

Small butterfly...cannot say where
About quarter sized. I got it when I got divorced. A Butterfly is the Chinese symbol for "new beginnings". (or so I was told)

I have a very large dreamcatcher with 2 feathers and and bear claws on my right thigh, starts about 2 inches from the joint and stops about 2 inches above the knee. i love it and want to get one on my lower back but just can't bring my self to getting it done. afraid it will hurt too much across the boney area.

They say once you get one, you want another one!!!

I only have 25 tattoos. First one in 1985, last one I think was 2002.

Are they all one theme?

Sadly no. I don't regret any tattoo I ever got. What I do regret is not planing them out. I wish I had done like 3 different themes. One on my chest/belly and arms, one on my back and one on my legs.

Honestly I'm not happy with the work that was done nor the layout.

My best tip to anyone getting a tattoo. If it's cheap it's going to look cheap. A good tattoo is going to run you a minimum of $150 and up to several thousand dollars.

I went through a big bout of depression around 98-2000 and went from 3 tattoos to in the 20's in that 2 year span. I would go every weekend and get some new ink to fight the depression.

thanks kelly ;D. i really love it. the cross is a design off a grave stone in ireland. it reminds me of my folks (im very irish, on my mothers side) & their faith. the irish claddagh is for my wife. ive given her a few over the years & she lost them. there is no way she can misplace this one.

it took 4 hours & hurt like hell. i cant wait to get more

Clean flesh here, don't like pain or needles
