Half Nekkid #3-- Wish upon a...



Today's HNT is something that not a lot of people have seen... one of my tattoos. I have 3, and all are located in places that can be easily hidden so as not to upset conservative bosses or clients.

I started with this tattoo on HNT because its sort of my favourite [ I know, a parent should never pick favourites] but also because i like the location of it: about 3 inches under my left armpit and on my side. [ note: if you are thinking of getting a tat... let me advise you that getting it on a bony/ non-fatty area is bloody painful]

I wont tell the story of why the star, why red, and why at the time i got it... all too personal, but i will say that although there is an adage never to get a tattoo because you broke up with someone...yah, well sometimes i just think you should.

The story of HNT is here.

Uh, yeah....I could imagine that would be painful. I do wonder at the meaning behind the tattoo. Was the dude you broke up with Chinese and possibly a communist?

Happy HNT!

Happy HNT!! Great ink!!

That does sound painful, I've never gotten a tattoo at all, much less on a boney area. Nice one though!

Happy HNT

Nice tat, happy HNT. I have a tat story but it wasnt mine. I actually went to get another one and the girl I was with at the time wanted one too. But I only had funds for one, she got it. A little black tree frog on the back of her calf. It was not intended to go down like that but now she has a forever reminder of me. And I know that is something she could have lived with out.

i don't have any tats myself, but i really like yours. i think if i did one, it would be really simple.
i too am wondering what the story is behind it.
happy hnt! :)

maybe i'm weird, but i had the opposite experience - my boney tats were nothing - the whole area would go numb after a bit becuase of the needle bouncing on the bone. the loose muscle - that hurt like hell - the back of the leg, under the arm... OUCH! ok, it didn't hurt like hell, but it was uncomfortable, whereas i could've fallen asleep during the bone - either way nice tat - good color, and happy hnt

no, not a chinese communist... although i have told people in the past thats what it meant... long story short is that I got my 1st tat with my boyfriend/fiancee, and originally i wanted to get a black star...but thats what he got so i decided to get something else [which was also a tattoo i planned to get]. when we broke up, i decided to "take back" the star tattoo, however, I decided to get red because i wanted it to remain bright [and i was told that red doesnt fade as much as black] to remind me of the time in my life when i got it.
yeah, i should stick with the communist story.

I like the tatoo, it's hard to see that it's on your side. If I were not told that, I would have guessed thigh.
Happy HNT!

I really like the star.

For some reason it reminds me of Dr. Suess's (Star bellied) Sneeches...do you know that one?

None of The Sneeches were happy if they didn't have a start on their belly...all the best one's did..losts of envy ensued...

Anyway, none of this mean crap...if you don't know the story...

Happy HNT.

That's a great tattoo and an interesting place to put it. I have one on a boney place and it does hurt like hell!
Happy HNT!

AWESOME !! Happy HNT!

Getting a tattoo on the bone is the best place to get it...or at least on the spine. The vibrations totally numb the pain, it's the fat that fucking hurts! And NEVER get anything with yellow, fucking hell! Birth isn't even that painful!
