I'm hopefully going for my first horse-themed tattoo soon (bit on my ankle) was wondering if anyone else had any they'd like to show off? A little explanation of why etc. I love tattoo stories :D

Wow, I LOVE that ALottaTrot, the shading is stunning, really well done. Just making me more excited for mine :D I think at some point I'll get an actual horse piece done, but I don't know if I'd want it to be like...one of my horses or just a kinda generic one etc.

I've been thinking about getting one. But two things hold me back...I'm TERRIFIED of needles; and my DH would crap! My friend has one that I absolutely love on the inside of her wrist. I don't have a picture of it, but it's two interlocked horse shoes with Live to Ride written on it in script.

Totally agree with you ALottaTrot, artist is everything. I've gotten work done by the place I'm going to before, but I'm switching up artists for the bit, this guys shading work on metal is just awesome:



and FoxyRoxy I love that <3 I'm sure my guys will be making it to the canvas some day too :D

I don't have any tattoos but will get my first and only when a horse wins the Triple Crown in my lifetime! Thank goodness SuperSaver flopped because I was not thrilled about having that on me anywhere....

I have been working on one for my horse. I want to get her me somewhere, probably my hip. I have a tat on my wrist that says love. It was oringinally supposed to be her name but I decided I didn't want people asking me who Lola was. Just to clarify, she didn't die or anything. I had to sell her and to this day that is my biggest regret. Not a day goes by that I wish I had done things differently. So I want a tattoo for her, so that I can be reminded not to ever make a mistake like that again. Next time I feel like giving up something I love is the only option, I'll have that tattoo to remind me.

Here's mine I just got it in june. I'm totally in love with it. Most people get hearts to show they love something but I got a red rose because it symbolizes two meanins...passion and love. It shows that I am passionate about and love horses. I'm planning on another one soon it's true what they say once you get one your addicted lol....oh BTW this didn't hurt at all I almost fell asleep on the table lol

You guys have some great tattoos! I have a tattoo artist near me that does tats from pics. I would love to have one of my actual horse...I just have to take the perfect pic. I definitely want to capture his large, soft, brown eyes. He is beautiful all over but that is my favorite part about him. If I can do that I will for sure get a tattoo.

I wish I had some pictures...

Im in the middle of working on my sleeve on my leg...I guess a pant sleeve?? lol. Right now I have a horse on the back of my calf that looks like a petroglyph (sp?) It takes up pretty much the whole back of my leg.

Then im working with my artist on drawing a old pair of cowboy boots with big spurs and a buckle and 2 pennies need to be in the tattoo some where...TATTOOS ARE AN ADDICTION!

Right now I have a lyrics from "Hurt" by Johny Cash/Nine inch nails on my forearm for my grandpa because that song pretty much represents my grandpa. Then I have a star on my wrist for one of my brothers. Then I have two more stars on the back of my neck for my 2 step brothers. I look up to all of then like I look up to stars so thats why I picked stars for them. Then I have the map coordinates of my home town with the name of the town wrapped around my left ankle. Then I have two chinese symbols on my other ankle that mean "father & daughter" because im a daddys girl...I think thats it right now...haha

I got this tattoo 3 years ago or so and love it. I don't know I would get another tat because this one means so much to me. Not sure if anything else would compare.

Horse shoe is for growing up around horses and that they need to stay in my life. They ground me.

Barbed wire is for country...

Ivy leaves are for me....simple yet beautiful.

Yellow ribbon is for my family. My family is full of military vets. Papa, uncle, cousin, Mom, Dad, both brothers..... Tons of close friends in the military too....

I told the guy what I wanted and he sketched it up right in front of me. :)
