Disney Tattoos

[1st_WDW_1977]

Jack Sparrow and The Black Pearl.

I am a giant fan of POTC and have been considering getting this on my arm, just like Jack, for a couple years now. My wife would really like it if I did get this one too. When I got my skull and cross swards tattoo, I was talking to my tattoo artist about it, and he told me something that I had not known. The Sparrow tattoo has been around a long time and is a tattoo that has some real significance to it. One Sparrow means that you have been half way around the world. Two sparrows means that you have been all the way around the world.
So, it looks like I will have to do some more traveling before I will have earned the right to get my Sparrow. (Unless you add up the miles from all the times I've been to WDW, then I think that I could get at least three Sparrows.)

I agree!! Great gift! How long did it take?

It took about 2 hours, but if he would have worked continuosly (insted of talking so much!!) it would have taken a lot less time! I told him that I wanted a bracelet of Mickey heads............he thought I wanted detailed Mickey heads of how he's changed through the years. That would be awesome, but just a little too much detail - pain - for me!! So he traced the outline of the head from an old Disney catalog page number and just repeated it. I told him black, yellow, white, and red for Mickey colors and to do whatever else he wanted, so he added the shading and stuff to make it look more like beads sticking out from my leg. I think he did an awesome job and since it was our own designing, it's now on the wall in his shop in Columbus!

so I called back the tat artist that did my tat and asked if maybe the daisy should have a leaf or something...he laughed and said i didn't SEE the picture! the water lily is in the water w/purple sky and the daisy is like the moon. Duh! i laughed and said i see it now. He said sometimes he just thinks people see what he sees. Very artistic! I'll ask next time what the whole picture is!

I've got Mickey on my back. I'd have to say, it was the most painful one so far. I've only got 5 tats, but Mickey's right where my kidney is, and I could feel it moving when he was tattooing me... OOWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!
But it's certainly worth it!!

Here are a couple of pics of my vintage Snow White (poison apple included!). Snow White was quite surprised to find herself on my arm!

Oh my gosh! I love your tattoo. It's gorgeous!

Hey everyone! I got my apt this Saturday (My bday) for my tattoo!! So thrilled, thinking about Tink on my ankle with pixie dust, with hidden mickeys in it, wrapping around her legs and then my ankle...plus I have a heart on my toe that desperatly needs fixing, so I am hoping to get that changed to mickey ears! I will come online either saturday night or sunday and show you!!

 

[Leger13]

Awesome! Have fun getting your new ink! Can't wait to see the pictures

 

[JRoyster86]

LOVE everyone's tatts! I have four, but none are Disney. I have a couple ideas in mind for my next few, so hopefully one of them will be Disney related!

Great minds think alike ! I'm getting my first tattoo next month and I'm getting Tink on my ankle, with pixie dust all around her and trailing down to the top of my foot! The one after that(which I'm also getting this year probably Sept.) will be on the other ankle and will be of Jack and Sally!!

I am not knocking anyone with tattoos, or even trying to discourage someone from getting one. I have several-I even have my eyebrows tattooed on.

And I really contemplated getting a Tigger tattoo, as he is my favorite character. But............and please don't flame me.......................

Be very careful when you decide what you want to put on your body for the rest of your life. Make sure you are still going to love it when your grandchildren ask you what it is.

I do have tattoos, but they are my kids eyes (all 4 of them) on my shoulder, a HUGE Lilith symbol in the middle of my back, and my kids names on my other shoulder, and I am getting my baby's footprints in the small of my back. I love them because they remind me every day that I love those little creatures and that they are the most permanent thing in my life.

Just be careful.

I've (kinda)completely changed my mind! What I'm getting is still Disney, though. Everyone in my family(except my mom,dad, and brother, they get the Disney thing), has said 1) tattoos are stupid and a waste of money 2) why in the world would you get some cartoon character on your body? My answer has always been the same. I absolutely love Walt Disney World. The only place we ever went on vaction was WDW, and my happiest memories are from those countless trips as a child . I look forward to telling my kids and grandkids about why I got my tattoos and why I love them(though they probably won't need an explantion, the Disney Gene will carry on!!! )
I did think looooooooooong and hard on this though, it's not just spur of the moment, so that is very, very sound advice. Your tattoos sound beautiful, BTW.
