I've been wanting to get a tattoo every since I was in my late teens. It wasn't till I was 36 year old father I've got my first one.




It's called Trinacria. AKA The Sicilian Symbol.(my parents are both form this part of the world)
The 3 legs represent the 3 tips of the Island and the tamed Medusa face is from greek mythology.

What do you think?

I want something that is me, that's where the southern Cross comes in. I was originally against the stars, but I'm happy with the way it came up.

Then on the other arm will be some images that represent my kids. Would really love to do portraits, but they must be perfect or they look like sh!t.

On the back will be a war zone with soldiers protecting a yellow cancer ribbon and this

Just the hand upside down.
It's something like an evil eye.

I thing that I've never really liked is names and dates, but that's just me.

So.....
What have you got or want.

I dont have any pics and it may sound stereotypical but i have Family across my chest and underneath that i have "we may not have it altogether but together we have it all". I love my family and the tattoo is more to me than a "tough sticker".

Not at all mate.
The beauty of tatts is that you have what YOU like.

First tat I had when I was 18, 26 years ago now. Means nothing, something a mate drew which I liked



2nd tat 2 years later, always meant to have an eye drawn in the middle and jazz it up but never got round to it.



The first two tats were a just coz, not to look hard or cool but just coz.

Got this one on me left forearm just after my first child was born, pissed me off coz they stuffed up the T



This one on me right forearm after child #2.


Still yet to get one for the 3rd child..... been thinking more about what I want done.

So now I'm toying with the idea of covering up my first borns name and second tat (crappy sun thing) with a partial sleeve made up of my kids Chinese or Celtic (or both) zodiac signs. Then having all 3 of their DOBs and names all on my right arm

I was thinking of the Chinese new year animals. My kids are a monkey and a snake. My niece is a graphic designer and I'm wanting to get her to draw something up with the two animals in a playful matter.

yeah mine are Rooster, dragon and ox in the chinese zodiac. Horse, Swan and Wolf in the Celtic. So would be interesting to see how they could be put together

[Clunk]

wish I could draw lol

I've just remembered, the 3 legs are also the national symbol for the Isle of Man, obviously used at a later date than the Isle of Sicily.

Makes some interesting reading http://www.isleofman.com/welcome/man...-legs-of-mann/

Amazing how a simple design can have so much meaning.
Yes a good read.

You have a tattoo of your anus on your arm?


I have the chinese zodiac for the Tiger on my left ankle. Its pretty faded now as it was done maybe 20 years ago. Lol And I have both my daughters on the inside of each bicep. I wanna get more, I wouldn't mind a half or maybe a full sleeve job. This missus is saying no though. I gotta listen to the boss. Buuut! I might just come home one day with it started...
That'll make her happy.
