One little old stupid tattoo and one new larger awesome tattoo

[Hemmel]

Hello,

I'm new here and just got my newest tattoo less than a week ago. My little tattoo I plan on getting covered with an ankle to knee piece someday. My new one is a larger shoulder piece. Quarter sleeve? Maybe not... but I love it. It is based on a quilting motif but I don't think you can tell unless you're a quilter. I'm here because I think I'm addicted so I should make friends with like minded people :)

also, I'm a huge dork. I am neither bad ass nor cool but I'm still loving getting tattooed.

welcome! you'll find that there are plenty of dorks who get tattooed. how about some pics?

So I’m kind of scared to post a pic of my newest tattoo. I LOVE it and don’t want to love it any less if people here think it is crappy or something.

Nothing to worry about here.  I just joined recently and everyone has been friendly and helpful.

I too consider myself a member in good standing of the dorkhood and only have one tattoo that I got last August and the outline on a Asian half sleeve.  I started late in life, so got some catching up to do.

Post some pics... it'll be fine

Well thanks!!! I’m going to find a pic of the terrible tattoo first then it’ll make my new one look even better. 😉

Here is my bad tattoo. I don't regret getting it but I do regret not putting any thought into it if that makes sense. I want to cover it with a giant saguaro cactus and lots of flowers.

live and learn! and you already a perfect cover up idea.

Here is my new one. I love it.

Looks good to me... besides, if you love it that's all that matters.

Thanks! I do love it! And I'm lucky because this is not at all how I pictured the end result. I obsessively researched the artist though and trusted him to do his  thing. I'm glad I did
