Tattoo Discussion Thread

So I’m aware we have a Doctor Who tattoo thread, but thought it’d be cool to have a thread covering everything and anything tattoo related. Whether it be showing off, asking questions, after-care or anything like it!

Myself I have 9 tattoos! I got my first in 2019 whilst on holiday with my family in Spain, in memory of my Dad as he passed away a couple years prior. I didn’t think I’d be here a few years later with this many, especially as I cannot stand needles. Whenever I have to have needles for blood or even tattoos I just look away :sob:

I have this one on my arm. I was also not keen on needles but got over it during Covid

Love love love!!! One thing I wish I knew before I got my first, was that a lot of people tend to get tattoos facing the direction of other people, and my first one was facing me :sob:

With ones like yours, I have one in a similar position so sideways, it doesn’t really matter. Then again, the one I have facing me I like that it faces me, its for me at the end of the day so I like to be able to read it.

I have no tattoos but my girlfriend has many. I don’t want to bug her for pictures right now but these include a biblically accurate angel, a rat, some beetles, a monstera leaf, some blueberries, and my personal favourite, her late oma and opa’s recreated signature.

I got my first one done last year. Couldn’t decide weather to get Doctor Who or Star Trek done first so…

I’m planning to get a new one soon. I’m thinking Stargate for the next

I’m currently learning how to write in gallifreyan, so that in a few years I can get a quote or several as a tattoo

I feel like someone on the Owl House said not to get a coven sigil…

Bad Girl Coven t-shirt might be another matter. (Actually had the low battery t-shirt, but it got ripped.)

I really wanna get more :sob: I’ve got 9 in total but they’re all generally quite small. I definitely want another Who one but unsure as to what..

I only have 1 so far on my ankle it’s the Greek Cross with ~IC ~XC on the top and NIKA on the bottom looks similar to the below (top the Byzantine for Jesus Christ (ΙΗCΟΥC ΧΡΙCΤΟC) the line overtop the letters means He’s Eternal and the NIKA is Greek for Conqueror or Victor

I am planning on getting one for Philly just not sure what exactly, one for Greek/Greece, my wife and I are going to get matching peacock tattoos and I do want to get a Doctor Who one as well
