It’s on my right shoulder blade, and is about 3-4 inches across. I got it as a Christmas present to myself three years ago. I had always wanted one, but my ex wouldn’t “let” me get one. So when we were no longer together, I got one! I’m a Scorpio, and female, so I wanted to soften the scorpion with the rose. It’s my design. I wish I had gotten a darker color for the scorpion though. I might have it touched up one of these days. (My new husband likes it. :))
So I showed you mine, show me yours! 
Nicey!
Here’s mine. My design, too.
This post has a link to a pic of my tattoo, and the story behind it.
It’s about two inches by two inches, and it’s just above my right elbow. I’m pretty sure I want to get a second tattoo - a Sacred Chao in black and gold on my left shoulder - but I’ll need some time to save up and convince myself to go through the healing stuff again.
Marley, I wouldn’t ask most folks, but is the 2/3 arrangement of your tattoo by design? I mean, obviously as explained it’s based on your nuclear family and all, but I’m wondering if you were thinking of that as well.
(The “fringe” around mine is made up of the alchemical symbols for “gold” and “silver” - 23 of each.)
I’m not sure what you mean. You mean, did I deliberately include the fraction 2/3?
…d’oh. I mean, based on your username and your occasional references to discordianism, I wondered if the way your tattoo conforms nicely with fanciful diversions like “The 23 Enigma” and “The Law of Fives” was intentional or purely incidental.
Ah, I getcha. It was one of those Law of Five-style coincidences, but I caught it before I actually got the tattoo done. The original idea was just to get III, for me and my two brothers, but I decided that was boring and sort of incomplete. After I came up with the design I realized it was literally a 23, and I still think that’s cool. I was really re-examining the whole Discordian thing at that time, as I got the tattoo two weeks after Robert Anton Wilson died. I had my girlfriend read to me from the Principia Discordia while I was getting the work done.
Jesus. I thought the tread title was “Show me your tWat”. I’m very disappointed.
Merry Christmas anyways, I guess.

I like both of your tattoos. So much meaning behind them! I want a second one, too, but I have to think hard about what I want. It’s definitely going in a place I can see, though. Sometimes I surprise myself when I turn a certain way in the mirror. “Oh, yeah, I have a tattoo!” 
here is my tattoo
It’s on my right lower leg above the ankle.
Very cool! Are they the Siamese kitties from Lady and the Tramp? I love the colors!
This one is on my hip.
These two, seen together here, are part of a bigger back piece I’ve designed which I’m still working on putting on me.

Spider - For my Father
Marijuana Leaf - For my Brother
Frog - For my Mom
That is what I have so far but I am far from finished 
Isn’t the traditional trade “tit for tat”?
Well then, I showed you my tat… 
Dammit Janet, that’s a nice tattoo.
My favorite, it’s on my left forearm.
Oddly enough, prior to the post I’m making right now, this thread was directly beneath a thread about merkins. Go figure.
Tattoo I got in Hawaii last Spring based on a turtle (“honu” in Hawaiian) petroglyph there, with blue and green swirls in a ying and yang pattern. My first one. Didn’t hurt at all. Was going to get it further up my arm near the inside of my elbow but had a bit of sunburn there so I got it lower on my left wrist.
