Canadian Tattoos?

[Maeve 2]

Here is mine...

hope the attachment works.

That's awesome, Rena!! Really good idea too! Hubby and I were trying to come up with some sort of tat we could both get, but we can't agree on anything thus far

I have a bunch of those mutant flags. They usually come out of hiding when we go to Canadian events here in NC. I think I've given them all away though, I can't find my last one

I have the Made in Canada logo on my back right shoulder. I've had it for longer than I've known my husband though. I've thought about getting something to symbolise both countries, but not flags, I was thinking more the bald eagle and a beaver. With the beaver on top of course.

I have one flag like that, I got it at an event called AMERADA (where Americans & Canadians get together for a weekend and camp. it alternates years between Canada and US (usually Ontario or Quebec and NY or CT)

what is the Made in Canada Logo?

Getting my somehow-symbolic-of-Canada tattoo is on my to-do list once I get down there..I also want something to represent Nova Scotia and New Brunswick...both my homes. I was thinking the two provincial flowers with their stems intertwined...

I will be getting a Canadian tattoo as well though. He keeps calling me an American already, but I told him I will always be a displaced Canadian

I'll try to find a photo of my tattoo and I'll post it later.

You guys are making me want to get a new tat...

Hubby's not gonna like it one bit

[Reba 2]

two things are holding me back from getting another one. 1 - money. 2 - there's no good shops around here

For some strange reason, its more expensive here in the middle of nowhere North Carolina for tattoos than it is in downtown Toronto. Go figger...

So I don't already have a Canadian inspired tat but I really feel like I need to get one. I already have a tattoo which is quite visible on my right forearm that reads, "Et Tu, Brute?"

I was thinking of getting this on the back of my neck line, "Je Me Souveins/ Que né sous le lys/ Je croîs sous la rose". (I remember that born under the lily, I grew under the rose). Many of us know this saying of course. I'm not Francophone but it has always inspired me and I've always thought it was beautiful.

Those are my thoughts today. haha

My sweetie (the USC) just told me that he is going to get a Canadian-ish tattoo! A pin-up girl, with similar features to mine, dressed in a mountie uniform He's getting it on the underside of his fore-arm (he's running out of real estate, so it's nice that there is a place left where it will be highly visible!

He's getting it done by Hannah from LA Ink... a friend of his works at the shop where she works when she's in Chicago.

He should have it by the next time I see him at the end of the month!

Really looking forward to seeing it!!! Not quite looking forward to the bed yuckyness that comes with a brand new one though

Design issues though... mini skirt or actual uniform? hat or no? I am thinking mini skirt and not sure on the hat. He wasn't really decided at all and wanted my advice (which is awesome!)

yes on the mini.. yes on the hat... what's a mountie without at hat yo? perhaps she could be holding not wearing the hat? tossing the hat?

Yeah that's where she's from, I believe. She works at Deluxe Tattoo http://www.deluxetattoo.com/main_new.html

I think she's only there maybe one week a month or something now. He said that she doesn't take new clients normally, but Ben Wahhh is one of the main artists there and a friend of Jamie's. He said that he thinks he can probably get her to do my next one too when I finally figure out ####### I want. I have been working on that for probably a couple of years and not coming up with anything perfect for the big one that I want.

I guess she charges something like $800/hour though

I am beyond excited and so incredibly touched that someone would do something that awesome for me! I mean it's not as intimate as getting someone's name tattooed, but everyone knows that's not the smartest thing to do. It should look quite a bit like me at least, but without being a photograph type image.

Oh wow she is good...

800$/hour....ouch not sure if i could afford that, but I am sure the other people that works there are really good too, why would she work with poor artists Me and hubby were looking around few tattoo shops in the burbs, and honestly looking at their tattoo albums made me want to leave....really poor quality and colors. It's permanent so I like it to look good!
