A few years ago I did my family history along my grandparents line. No aunts, uncles or cousins…just grandparents. One line went directly to Robert The Bruce. Other lines (also,Scots) traced through McAlpin, King Malcolm III, etc. But Bruce is the one I’m most proud of so I decided a couple of months ago to [...]

I used to have a heart with an ex’s name on my arm and the panther tattoo was to cover that up. I liked traditional tattoos, not necessarily the style but the themes that come along with them. The panther tattoo was pretty much one of the only things that would cover the heart. You [...]

I am 1/8 Cherokee and I wanted something to represent my heritage. I’ve seen a lot of people with feather tattoos and feather band tattoos that they say are for their native american heritage but I wanted something more manly.

I got this tattoo when my friend started out as a tattoo artist. She needed practice and I saw a few tattoos she did first so I didn’t think it would look bad. The first tattoo I let her do was a pumpkin with a knife that is higher up on my arm. This tattoo [...]

I had my boyfriends name on my arm and I wanted it gone. The artist said flowers would be the best thing to cover it up so I just went ahead and got flowers over it. I didn’t really care about what I got to cover it as long as it was gone. I thought [...]

I have a few tattoos already and I wanted some more. This arm is dedicated to my heritage because I’m Irish. I have a bunch of Irish tattoos so I thought knotwork would be good to add since I didn’t have any. I have an Irish flag tattoo and a leprechaun too on the same [...]
