I have a strange attraction to tattoos and an even stranger attraction to original tattoos. I was wondering if anyone has any cool tattoos they would like to share. I'll start:

To Do List

This is a picture of my To Do List on my left forearm. I actually use it and fill it in everyday with stuff to do. The tattoo is a torn piece of loose-leaf paper with the words "To Do List" at the top and numbered one through 6 in the margin. I know the pic is a little blurry btw.

that is brilliant, I think that's going to have to go somewhere in my top 10 tattoo's ever. I have to ask is that completely original or did you hear about it from somewhere first?

Sadly I have no tattoo's yet, my favourite tattoo I've seen apart from the ones everyone's heard of(sign saying "keep of the grass" with pubes died green etc) is a guy in a metal pub near me has a moustache tattooed onto the side of his index finger so he can do impressions.

I'm meaning to get one this summer the trouble is I'm a very indecisive person so I really really need to be final before I get one done. I'd actually love to be a tattoo artist if I didn't have such shaky hands.

I like the old school/biker type ones. and there's this comic book style of tattoo art I also really like, it's quite gruesome and gory I can't really describe. The best example I can give is; In the film 'Beavis and Butt-head do America' when Beavis hallucinates from eating the cactus and see's that music video....that sort of style. anyone know if it has a name?

I have an Eye of Horus tattoo'd on my right arm, my fiance has the same on the small of her back. She also has a treble cleft with a rose over the top of it on her ankle, a celtic trinity symbol on the back of her neck, and ocelot paw prints on her side (a reminder of her trip to the Amazon.) We both have more planned, im just trying to find someone to help design mine...

Nossy that is awesome!

If anyone remembers my avatar before this one (the bass clefs in the yin yang thingy) im gonna get that tattood on my sholder one day.. Maybe when I man up ><

Funny story - A mate of mine went to get the infinity thing tatoon on the web of skin between his thumb and finger. After he told the tatooist what he wanted he got abused for about 5 minutes saying how stupid that is.

Yeh, very nice idea Nossy. I unfortunately don't know of any good tattoos, and I don't plan to get some any time soon.

My mates Dennis and Ed have each others name tattooed on their arms. Amazing. Ed also has a tattoo of a light switch turned on ("Switched On")

I'm getting a one of those lame tribal ring things going round my bicep, but here's the catch: it's gonna be Pacman chasing ghosts and eating pills!

It's my "mom" tattoo. My mother's name was Robin. When I was 8, she passed away from breast cancer (hense the pink ribbon in the robin's mouth).
4.5 hours of pure suck.

My husband and I also have matching pentacle tattoos between our shoulder blades...I dont have any decent pictures of this, though.

I recall seeing a woman with f-holes tattooed on her lower back. She was a cellist.

In an Internet discussion elsewhere, someone mentioned the desire to get "Dream of the Fisherman's Wife" (Wikipedia article with not-quite-safe-for-work picture of Edo-period Japanese erotica here) tattooed across her whole back. That's probably the most head-turning tattoo idea I can think of.

It's a work in progress; plan to have it placed between my shoulder blades when I finish.

*(size and quality suck since it's not the original.)

The bartender in a pub I was at over the weekend had the four suits (clubs, daimonds, spades, and hearts) tattooed on the back of her neck. I thought that was pretty cool and original.

I don't have any, but I'd love to get sleeves. On one arm I want the main image to be an Oni (Japanese-style demon) and on the other I want to get a design that I made up my self - sort of a tribal-type thing with old-school stars (the ones that look kind of 3D) mixed in. I know those are pretty ambitious, and I should probably just get a small one first to see what it feels like.

I once met someone with a tattoo on her arm that looked like random lines and swirls, but when she stood next to her boyfriend it read, "Love is but a dream that lasts forever."

That spiderman one is awesome. Absolutely hilarious.
I know someone who had LEFT written on their left arm.

I generally hate how cliched and cheesy tattoos can be me. It's always a crappy symbol, or dragon, or animal, or flower, or something chinese, or some fantasy art. Where's the originality?

An ex a mine had a tatoo "down there" that said "HI THERE!".

I laughed my ass of the first time I saw it.

On my right arm near my shoulder I am getting "Survive" in black letters. It's just a reminder to myself of what I have done and what I am capable of doing.

I have a friend that got dared to get a stupid tattoo, so he got the word "lip" tattooed to the inside of his lip. He isn't too bright though....

Take your pick; I have:

A large celtic cross on my left shoulder/bicep

The Jesus Christ Superstar praying angels logo around my right pectoral

A sacred heart with tribal thorns coming out from behind it on my right shoulder/bicep

A nautical star with wings and a flaming halo across my upper back.

Two of my tattoos have been published in a mag. If I had the money I'd have lot more.

I have the Kanji -- Japanese writing, for some -- for "God" on my left shoulderblade, and "Demon" on my right. I call them my conscience.

I also have a tattoo going around my left wrist of the Aries symbol, where the symbol's point goes about a quarter of the way up the back of my hand, and the horns wrap around my arm.

I thought about getting the white sections of my celtic cross done in UV ink but i've heard that they haven't totally proved that its not mildly carcinogenic.
