Julsmarshall Reading Love at First and sending you relaxing vibes. I got my first tattoo last year at age 50 and it wasn‘t as bad as I worried it would be. And I‘m terrified of needles! You‘ve got this! 4y

TEArificbooks The vibrations of the machine help reduce the sharpness. Doesn‘t hurt as much as I thought. 4y

jb72 @AkashaVampie I have 3 tattoos. It‘s not really that bad. Plus mine didn‘t really hurt the next day. 4y

night_shift @AkashaVampie where are you getting it? I've got two and the one on my back, the spots along my spine, hurt the most but it still wasn't too bad and definately didn't hurt the next day. 4y

AkashaVampie @jb72 @UnidragonFrag I think I am getting it on the space between my neck and shoulder. 4y

Tattooedteacher I‘m so excited for you. It makes me want to get another. As far as pain, it‘s different for everyone, but you‘ll love the result. I‘ll be thinking of you. 4y

night_shift Sounds cool! Can't wait to see it! And I agree with @Tattooedteacher .. it's definately making me want to get another! 4y

*Not me*

Well hubby has surprised me with an appointment to get a tattoo next Friday. I'm nervous as he'll but really want one. I am thinking something like this but not with planets and things coming out of it. I am thinking of having a dragon come out of it and it say under the book "I have lived a thousand lives"

Whatcha think?
@ElizaMarie @AsYouWish @jb72

BookishMarginalia Yes! 4y

Beautiful temporary tattoos for @BennettBookworm and me from our amazing sister @LiteraryinLititz ! Bonus points if you can read the quotes backwards and name the book that they are from! 🤩🤩🤩 🐑♥️

#Tattoo #7 👌🏽Got this one for my dad. When I was little he brought home his parents‘ old bathtub from their house, put it in our backyard, and planted a variety of flowers in it. The butterfly is for my grandma 🦋 🌼🛁

@Trashcanman

George, the tattoo on my left forearm. Have now had it for a little over a year.

It has the names of my two children in nearly unreadable script (on purpose), my favourite colours and the infinity sign.

Never have even thought about any kind of tattoo in my life, but when I came upon this on Pinterest; I'm seriously considering getting this or something close to it. Just wanted to share with all fellow book lovers.

That‘s what I did Saturday...

Lmstraubie @Peddler410 If it's not too personal I'd love to hear the story behind the artwork. 7y

Peddler410 @Lmstraubie Not at all! My daughter is in the Chinese Immersion program in our school district. The writing is her Chinese name. The rat is my Chinese Zodiac animal and the Ox is my daughter and my husband. The flowers are there to balance things out. (edited) 7y

CouronneDhiver Cool idea! 7y

Lmstraubie @Peddler410 Beautiful 😍 7y

Blair_Reads That‘s so beautiful! I love it! What a wonderful idea 💜 7y
