I’m not a tattoo girl myself, but if I were to get one, this ship one is really rad. Do you have a tattoo?

I like that! I bet my Newf would as well!
I have two tattoos! One is a good luck charm and the other is a tattoo my husband and I share. The second is a Roman numeral 2, which has a special relation to the inscription in our wedding bands.

in response to poppy k at the top:
i think a well placed, neat tattoo when you’re old and wrinkly is a great contrast – remnants of your youth seared on you and equally ravaged by time.
am i too romantic? eeks.
I just got my first tattoo a few months back in Dublin while on Honeymoon. A gaelic phrase to remember our trip by.
I love this ship tattoo, its adorable and I love the location to. Arm tattoos are my favorite!

I have many! http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3203/2998632154_919af76485_o.jpg
I love your blog too btw :)
Now there’s a cool tattoo! Too bad I have an awful one that I got at 16…
I have love in Korean on the inside of my left wrist. My longtime boyfriend is Korean, and love is beautiful. :) Even if we break up someday I will still enjoy the tattoo.
i do! and it’s in the same place on my arm too! it’s a narian symbol meaning encouragement and dependence…i got it about my mom!
No tattoo’s but I want a swallow somewhere.
im loving this. i do love tattoos.
that is a really cute simple one! i have over 20 and still going haha
ps. your blog is wonderfull!
i have so been hankering for a tattoo! the ship idea is just gorgeous. i’ve wanted to get one in white ink — a good friend of mine has writing in her own handwriting that says “happiness takes time and effort” down her back, but you have to squint to see it! amazing, huh?
No tattoos on me now! But you keep putting the cutest tattoos up and totally tempting me! x
no tatts….except for the ones i draw on myself during long meetings :)
yo ho!
Wow, what great comments. I only have one tattoo – always wanted to get a second but never got round it. Mine’s Japanese and is on my back… I remember a friend totally lecturing me before I got it done, saying how yucky it would be when I was an old, wrinkly lady with a tattoo – but my rationale was (and still is) I’ll be an old wrinkly lady with attitude and I’m hardly like to be showing my back!!
I have duh tattooed on my foot.
I love it.
It is weird.

Cute! I don’t have one, but I kinda want one on my foot…we’ll see! :)
I lost my beloved grandmother this past year. She was like a mother to me. I think it may ease the pain (slightly) to get her name tattooed on a discreet part of my body, perhaps along the side of my torso…I can see “ardith” written there. It would be my first tattoo.
this is a good one…i have a tattoo in that exact same spot. i have others on my arm as well (since you asked:)
I got my first tattoo this spring. It’s on my wrist, and shows five seagull silhouettes, representing me, my boyfriend and my kids (including the one in my tummy). Very simple, and I love it.
That boat isn’t bad either… :)
I love tattoos. Have only one, but agree this one is super cool. Would def last the ages.
i have two big ones and a small one. and i definitely will have more! when i’ll be an old lady, my skin will be coloured and wonderful, much prettier than old un-coloured skin. my tattoos make me happy every time i look at them.
i have six! i love them and can’t wait to get more… my only problem is that i can’t decide which one to get next.
that boat is fab! i’ve always liked the idea of a pirate ship tattoo – hmmmm….
I love the boat – especially since my boyfriend has a sailboat! I have a line of five ants on my right foot and three different bells on my left side. I’ve been contemplating a few more…
i have a nautical star so I can always find my way home no matter where home might be.
I am not a tattoo girl either, but yes, I have one. This is a great design.
I have a couple of tattoos, both based on my own drawings. A number of my friends are also sporting my drawings as tattoos – which gives me a lovely, warm fuzzy feeling to think that people like my pictures enough to want them permanently emblazoned on their skin.
It’s a cliche, but it’s true that tattoos are an entirely personal adventure – I’d never advocate tattoos for someone who wasn’t sure and I would also never design something for someone unless I was sure I could provide a design they were totally happy with.
That ship is gorgeous – I am such a fan of simple line work.
That’s a pretty cool tattoo! I have 6 and I’ve been dying to get another but I’ll hold off till I know exactly what I want.
I do have a tattoo. just one. got it in may. it is a swallow carrying a heart on the top of my foot. it is in memory of my brother. I really like tattoos, but not all of them. I like ones with meaning best but I can appreciate the artistry behind a tat that doesn’t necessarily have some profound meaning. I always loved shows like LA Ink but since I got my tattoo I am even more into it! :) I feel like I notice people with tattoos more now than I did before and it is interesting to see what people decide to permanently put on their skin…. I love the simplicity in this ship, kind of reminds me of a small sailboat one of my sorority sisters had on her heel.
oh, i love this tattoo! it’s so simple and nice…love it.
i have five tattoos, they’re all on my arms, they’re BIG and noticeable, bright and colorful (it doesn’t help that i’m nearly transparent) and I got them on a whim when I was 19. They practically cover my entire forearms, and while they were nice when I was getting a lot of attention, it’s gotten very old!
I get judged all the time for my tattoos. People are very, very harsh and downright mean about it. I wish I could say it didn’t bother me, but, eh.
that’s a great tattoo! i have one that i drew (they used my actual drawing) of a delicate vine that wraps around my right wrist. most people think it’s a bracelet until they look closely.
was at Newport Folk this weekend and the drummer from Fleet Foxes said he wanted a ship tattoo to commemorate the day
i love the simplicity of this tattoo. i’m still deciding what tattoo i want, so i don’t have one yet but i’m planning on it!
I love that tattoo as well! It reminds me of my favorite pillow by Thomas Paul: http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=980041&parentid=HOME-PILLOWS&pushId=HOME-PILLOWS&popId=HOME&sortProperties=&navCount=35&navAction=top&fromCategoryPage=true&selectedProductSize=&selectedProductSize1=&color=041&colorName=NAVY&isSubcategory=
O, and I have a small question mark tattoo on my right inner wrist. It’s my one & only, forevermore.
im not a fan !!!im afraid of needles!!!
Haha, awesome! I’m not a tattoo gal myself, but I agree – nautical tats are pretty cool.
yeah, but it’s really embarrassing!
this ship one is awesome, but I promised myself to never get another!
Nope. I do not own a tat yet but, for some reason I have been envisioning in my dreams hosting a a humming bird tasting from a honey suckle on the inside of my forearm, in henna…what dose this mean?!
You do loves the ships of late, Joanna! I have a ritual in which I get a tatoo every time I accomplish an amazing life goal – marathon, childbirth, learning to drive. My son wants a tatoo of some chopsticks that I posted on my blog. I told him he had to wait a few years…..he’s nine.
I have three and they are all aesthetically similiar to this because I like letting my little boy color them in (I’m a human coloring book, haha). One is a paper airplane on my back, a teepee i got with one of my best friends on my belly, and an engagement tattoo thats an illustration of my husband and I on a bicycle with me riding pegs… oh and the initial of my nickname for him on my ring finger of my left hand. An M for mancini in typewriter font. They are addictive… I want a red balloon next.
I’ve got one inside my left wrist . It’s a tiny letter for my sis & dad.
Actually i’m planning two more written tats , inside my right wrist and one on my ribcage.
I’ve got lots…. full sleeves, backs of my legs and this one on my whole back. I got it last May – haven’t been tattooed since, but am thinking about what’s coming next. I need to get this colored in too.

Just got my first!! It’s a cherry blossom on a branch on my foot. It’s brown, like henna, instead of the standard black. <3
I love tattoos got three myself posted two of them on my blog here
http://nikabrightlightwarrior.wordpress.com/2009/07/30/two-of-my-three-tatoos-i-♥-so-much/
I have a few. I have a small red heart on my right…uh..cheek. :) It doesn’t have any major significance or anything, I just think it’s cute and simple and really easy to hide (my undies cover it up!)
I also have two inside my mouth. Again, no significance, and obviously I can cover them easily..they’re always covered unless I stretch my lips out.
I really like tattoos and I would love to get a lot more, but I’m just so paranoid about someday not being able to cover them up easily if I need to.
I love this one, too! I have two tattoos, one on each shoulder, of video game characters I’ve loved since I was a kid. Someday I’m going to get one behind my ear of a blind contour my husband drew of me (even though he hates it, I treasure it!) but I’m waiting to find the right artist. I <3 tattoos and if I’m not careful, I could easily cover myself in them!
It’s really hard to think of anything that I would want permanently on my body, but I agree about this ship.
Arghh! Very pirate-y of you!
Anyway, I would love a moustache tattoo on my forefinger, but seeing as how that is a very sensitive spot for contact with a needle, that will probably never happen.
I love this ship tattoo, its so simple and clean. Cute find! I have a tattoo on my left hip of a plum blossom branch – my parents are from Taiwan, and plum blossoms are the national flower. It’s very artistic, but probably the only tattoo I’ll ever get in my life.
I love this ship tattoo! It looks like a tender area to be poked at with a needle though :) On my 21st birthday, I had a small dragonfly tattooed in a hidden area (only to be seen when in a bikini). Nowhere risque – the tattoo artist said it was “on my kidney” which still sounds kind of funny to me.
Yep, I’m a big tattoo lover! You can see the one on my arm if you go to my blog, just look on the left side bar…
http://www.securityville.blogspot.com
I have two more (one between my shoulder blades and one on the inside of my left upper arm) but no pics to share. I love the ones with vibrant color and lots of detail. As for when I get old and wrinkly??? I don’t plan on showing the tops of my arms or my back when my skin is looking like that, so no one will see them.
I’ve got two – a star on the inside of my left wrist and one one the left side of my back – it’s an Irish rune symbol for Rowan (which is my last name.) I love them! (Like the ship too!)
I have a black outline of a heart with flourish-y lines out of the sides on the top of my foot. It’s very artsy and very me!
Amongst others, I have a band of outlined black daisies around my upper arm, and a bouquet of wildflowers on the back of my arm….let’s just say I receive a “just because” bouquet everyday!
i’m like you…. more of a tattoo appreciator than a get-er…. that being said – this one is indeed totally awesome.
This tattoo is fantastic! I love pirate-type ships (not sure why). I have a butterfly tattoo on my ankle…not the coolest thing but what else is a rebellious 16-year old girl supposed to get…at least it is well done ;)
I recently got my first tattoo! A big classic ampersand on the side of my ribs (bembo font). It’s about the size of my palm.
No, but my friend’s sister has one on her chest that says Mom & Dad in a heart!! She figured her parents couldn’t get mad at her for it. Always cracks me up.
I have a few – and all of them mean something to me in some form. The best: ‘lorem ipsum dolor sit amet’ down my side, since I’m a graphic designer. The newest (and largest and not yet completed) is a half-sleeve of flowers – since my last name is ‘flower’ I’ve done Favorite Flowers of the Flower Family. So the fav flowers of my grandmothers, mom & sister.
I dont have a tattoo… I always wanted one but then we recently went to a water park and I saw that EVERYONE has a tattoo now… that sorta ruined it for me. BUT if I were to get a tatto I would likely get one one my wrist. I think that is a sexy place. :)
( Inever comment here because you always have so many comments… but I do still read your blog daily.)
********************************
PS Any new documentaries that your reccomend?
ok… everyone else is listing their ink, so here is mine: Japanese character (kangi) for “peace”, a yellow rose (in memory of a friend)both on my lower back, a phoenix on my hip, a nautical star on my inner wrist, four small stars (in the birthstone colors of my mom, granny, dad and brother) on my left foot, a clover on my right inside ankle, and as of last weekend, the words “sing for the laughter, sing for the tear” across my shoulderblades (from Aerosmith’s “Dream On”)…
Oh, how I love them all.
I love the clean lines on that ship.
I know I am getting a simple compass tattoo from a design I saw while living in Alaska. I was going to get it colored in, but I think I like just the outlines like that better!
I have two, a pair of Aces on my ankle for my high school nick name, I got it the week of my high school graduation. I also have the saying Fortune Favors the Bold around my wrist, which I got when I switched from an english to music major and moved from NC to MA. I’m getting a third this summer to commemorate my first summer in NYC.
your tattoos sound amazing! i love these comments! xo
i have a blackbird on my foot, the words “iloveyou” on my left wrist, a small circle on my right wrist, a little heart on my forearm.
i’m looking to get three bears for my family and maybe a feather with my best friend (birds of a feather. . . )
no thanks.
I thought about getting one about 10 years ago, but realized it was PERMANENT and since I can’t even keep a clothing style for one year, how could I love a word or drawing on my body FOREVER!?
More to Love
