Anyway, the letters are my Husband's initials (he is a III) which also happen to be MY initials, which also happen to be our Son's initials! So, we are [cubed] get it?
My tramp stamp is/was a gift for my then boyfriend/now husband for Valentine's Day 2 years ago. My friend and I went to a tattoo parlor near her house, and She got her then boyfriend/now husband's last name above some fancy scrolling and flames with roses. Then I stepped up to the bat. Now, I had heard (from TB/NH) that getting a tattoo felt like a mild burning sensation. However, he failed to tell me that it felt like a mild burning sensation on top of the sensation of 283764 knives carving open my flesh. The poor tattoo guy had made 3 outline strokes before I felt like I was going to pass out/puke and he had to stop. I got up and encouraged my friend to traipse right on back to her house and get me some fortified tylenols, which I consumed. (now I know why most people get drunk before getting a tattoo) All I could think of was, I am NOT going home to my honey with 3 black marks carved into my back and the rest of a bunch of smeared marker outlines! So, I bucked up and took it like a man. (and by that, I mean that I had to bend over a couple of stools)
Oh, and I HAVE mentioned that I received a nice copy of adobe photoshop for christmas...I don't want want anyone to think I'm trying to fool them into believing that my skin looks like that. I am wearing a waffle textured shirt and was too impatient to wait for the grid marks to disappear.

That's pretty! I like the meaning behind it too.
I'm such a nerd mine lower back tat is an atom. Yeah. I'm cool. :-p
Nice tat. I always wanted one, but I never got one for three reasons:
1) They say you never get just one.
2) THE PAIN.
3) Regretting it later.
Back when tats were illegal in Mass, I went with a friend up to Tattoo America in Seabrook, NH. She had Winnie the Pooh tattooed on her shoulder with a balloon. It's really cute, but she had a similar reaction to the needles. That kinda did it for me.
Any thought I may have entertained about getting a tattoo anywhere on my body just 'left the building'!
I do not want to go through that kind of pain...ever! (lol) But yours looks really really nice!
Thabks for coming by my blog and for your comment...
Nice tat, Robin.
