What a great break from work, to look at beautiful women with tats!

For what its worth I love tats on the inside of the forearm!

Cheers,

It's hard to just stop at one. At 20 I have about...*counts them all* 9 scattered up and down my body. Each one has a story that I'm happy to tell.

I adore tattoos but like any addiction it's expensive.

Thank you for posting this! I think plenty of AE readers know of the appeal of a tattoo - there's plenty of examples on the tattoo thread. (I'm currently planning on getting my sixth one *G* )

A couple more people with tats:

Sarah Bettens

Sarah Jane Potts

Melissa Etheridge

Melissa Ferrick

Ani DiFranco

and that lady who got an Oscar for writing Juno...

Nice Tats! *sniggers*  And of course there is always

Jill Bennett

and

Joan Jett..(I'm just saying in case we possibly needed more sexy women to look at)!

Thanks, Carolinagrrrl...that was great!  And what about Bridget working on the "Wanted" movie?  More info please? 

I have one, because I'm a wimp.

It's the outline of a maple leaf on my left shoulder blade. I'm going to get about 4 more, but they are expensive. The one I have now cost $60 and it took the guy 30 seconds to do it.

The women pictured here are rather proof that tattoos can be really ugly.

Christina Ricci, what were you thinkin?!

you forgot the lower back just above the butt tattoo often referred to as a tramp stamp.

while that part of the body can be quite sexy, a poorly designed or ill-fitting tat there can ruin its beauty. the upside? it won't stretch as bad if you get pregnant or fade as quickly either.

Tattoos on womyn r so freakin hot! I got two hearts  below my belly button on the left side. I am seriously thinking about getting another one too especially since Inkplosion is coming Next Month in Little Rock. I gotta buy tickets for that.

I'm getting one of a brown-skin faery that looks like me! It wil be on my right shoulder blade. Tats on the backside of womyn are so pretty on womyn!

but my favorite place for on has to be on the back of the neck.  So hot.

I have two now and have plans for four more ... so far!  Finally found the right artist. 

love ink! It's all about conviction. The stories behind women's tats are fascinating. I'm starting a portrait series on women with ink in the UK (will include some self-portraits), so if any of my fellow home nations roses are interested in being photographed, get in touch!

As for myself, I have several tats planned... making sure I'm totally happy with each design before I get them done - don't want anything I'm going to hate in a few years time! Going to a reputable artist is the most important thing, they can advise on size, placement, colours (skin tones, ladies)... not to mention come up with fierce designs you may not even have thought of.

  Natasha is uber hot!!!  Janet Jackson is hot...only from the neck down, Pink is really hot, hotter since cutting loose the breeder

I have to say, as a tattooed gal, the one word that makes me cringe is "Flash."  It's just my opinion, but I think having your own design as opposed to something you picked out of a book or off the shop's wall will mean more because it's unique.  SO many of my friends have gone into the tattoo shop on a whim, gone all ga ga over a little butterfly or rose or something they saw in the book, haven't given it any thought, and then are stuck with it.  When they're left to explain why they got it they say "I saw it in the book and it looked cute."

Being an artist, maybe I appreciate tattoos too much, therefore I feel this way, but I think of them as pieces of expression and something to collect.

I also don't understand the fascination with the white tattoos.  One of my former friends wanted to get a white tattoo so that no one would see it.  Honestly, and again it's just my opinion, if you're going to get one stop being a pussy about it and GET ONE.  I know that many people have jobs and things where tattoos are frowned upon, but at least get it so that you can see it and just get it in a spot that's easily covered up.

You definitely have to "shop around" for the right artist.  Some of the work in the portfolios I've seen make me wonder how they're in business because they clearly shouldn't be.  It's 110% worth it if you have to pay more for a reputable artist because they know color, placement and technique so that your new tat of a smiley face doesn't look like a blurry blob in a year because the colors have bled.

Christina Ricci got a new tattoo on her right boob, its a bird of some kind?..

I still got that copy of W. :)

It's easy to say that WANTED is going to be the worst comic book movie ever made.

...who had a simple, quarter-sized tattoo of a butterfly in a mason jar. Honestly, if I ever got one...I'd consider stealing her idea.

Pink's single now?!? I am out of the loop, >.<. Thank you, college. Hope she dates a chick. *crosses fingers*

...and all was well, and the world smiled.

I think tats are hot, will probably get one myself sometime.

On a side note, is it just me or does Angelina look really skinny, her arms looked all boney and kinda odd! I hope she puts on some weight!

Tattoos are so incredibly hot! There are definitly some bad ones out there, though. I have an outline of a heart just above my wrist and a big colorful Sgt. Pepper's drum head in the middle of my upper back, just below my neck. All I can say is I want more more more.

I think a spot worth mentioning is on the back of the arm above the elbow. Like where Kate Moennig's sparrow is.

Yeah I've been thinking about getting another tattoo lately.  I had my first one done as a wrap around quote on my ankle.  It came out great and the tattoo parlor I went to was like the 4th/5th one I'd tried.  They certainly made my first time getting a tattoo really easy.   

It took me almost a year to figure out what I wanted for my first tattoo and it is very personal to me.  I'd like the second one to be just as meaningful.  I think I'll put it on my shoulder blade. 

Funny, the tattoo artist I went to told me tattoos were addictive.  I didn't believe her at the time, I told her I only wanted one and that would be enough for me.  Ok, so maybe I'll stop at 2? 

tattoos are way hot. i have 5 myself. one on the outside of each ankle..one on each wrist and a tribute to my grandparents on my arm. i plan to have half-sleeves to finish my arms.

Tattoos are hot and so are piercings. I have 1 tattoo and two piercings (four if you count my ears). I have been wanting another tattoo but I'm not sure what to get. Until I find the one that speaks to me I'll keep waiting. It depends on the TAT and where it’s at but they can be so sexy. My favorite places would be the back of the neck, the arm, the shoulder and the underside of your wrist.  

Check out this for a hot tattoo. From the Taiwanese lesbian drama last year, Spiderlilies, which was reviewed here on AE:

Made me wonder about getting one :)

i'm 22 and i have 13ish tattoos.
okay, if you count a few of them as more than one because of how big they are and/or because they incorporate several smaller objects into one major design; i have somewhere between 13 and 22 tattoos.

and i'm going to have to say...
back of the neck, REALLY didn't hurt at all.
i barely noticed it

the left part of my left calf and the black ink on the inside part of my underarm probably hurt the most. OH! and the one tiny part that is directly on top of my vein on my left wrist.

but still, it is a pain that is completely worth it.

Pink is just so hot. Her tats and *faints* her abs. just whoa. +off to drool+

i cant wait to get one on my forearm ...tegan's trees inspired me somehow. i think a tree is a great motive. but i've got some pretty ugly scars hope it still works. anyone has experience with tattoo over a scar?

and i wanna get it in LA. any tips where to go to?

I love big and colourful arm tattoos. some good example Anouk and of course Tegan (she has a second one now on her other arm):

I think Asia Argento's "Angel" is the hottest tattoo ever *rrrr*

I have one tattoo on my left breast (some chinese sign) but it's pretty ugly. it's the result of a night with too much alcohol. one of the guys at the party brought this tattoo set but he wasn't really an artist + he seemed more interested in staring at my t*ts than watching his own hand. but at least it didn't hurt. if i ever have enough money i'll get some tats on my arm.
