What is the story behind your tattoo?

I realize most tattoo's have stories behind them, but some designs people just like and don't have stories. Is it pointless if you get one without a story behind it? And have you ever regret any of your tattoo's?

Answer
It's all a matter of personal choice.
I don't really see the point of getting a tattoo just for the sake of it- but then other people do and it's up to them.
But then, i'm a very arty person and 2 of my three tattoos have all been designed by myself, and i'd never dream of getting a tattoo just for the sake of it.
I don't and never will regret any of my tattoos as they are all personal to me and mean something.

My first tattoo is a rune symbol on my wrist that represents new beginnings.
I got this tattoo as i went through a bad patch in my life and came out of it a stronger person that i was to begin with. Thus i chose this symbol to remind me that whatever happened in life, i could always overcome things, and that every day was a new start and didn't have to be the same as the day before.

My second tattoo is a ivy vine that runs from my shoulder to my hip.

This was a self designed piece, that is a memorial tattoo to my grandparents. (Hence the two colored entwining vines.)
I chose this as my gran's name was Ivy, she kept ivy in her house, and it represents love, friendship and immortality. As my gran was one of my favorite people ever, and one i loved dearly, i found the meaning of the ivy to be quite fitting.

My third tattoo (which is still being completed) is a rib piece.

The hibiscus flower tattoo was actually a birthday present from my partner. The flowers were taken from pictures we took on a holiday last year, and the hibiscus symbolizes delicate and fragile beauty.
I thought this was fitting, as i wanted to remember that even the most beautiful things in life don't always last forever and that you should appreciate it when you have it.
The butterflies (which are not yet complete) represent every member of my immediate family and also symbolize beauty and life, which i thought fitted well with the hibiscus.

Need ideas for a tattoo of my kids names?

I'm hoping to get a tat done to incorporate my 3 kids names in it(2girls,1boy). I would like to get it done on my inner forearm. I like the idea of getting a butterfly of some sort and having there names incorporated in there somehow...My kids have truly changed my life for the good and i feel so blessed to have them and feel like a butterfly would represent that well but still open to other ideas. Thanks in advance!

Answer
I love that idea and you can never go wrong with getting your childrens names tattooed on you. Here is one website I liked for a butterfly tattoo...
