For whatever reason, Pups and Tattoos seem to go together. And Pups like nothing better than to compare their marks of distinction.
Depicted below, for your viewing pleasure, are tats, owners (some anonymous) and anecdotes. Contributions accepted, see the bottom on how to send in a photo, anecdote or correction.

The double womens symbol I did myself when I was 18. Angel was a nickname for an ex. The Angel is Michael, and he is a coverup. The old tat under it was Queer as F**k. The word lover on my right forearm used to be a nickname. |

celestqq.jpg 14.92 Kb CJ - Fem Symbol, Rainbow, Scales (Libra), Yin/Yang, Dolphins |
Cortney also has the dolphin and scale on on her back. They are kinda like marriage tattoos for us because we have the same one. It represents the things we have in common and not. We are both Libra therefore the scales, the female sign cuz, duh, we're woman, the rainbow because we're lesbians, and the dolphins cuz she loves them and the yin-yang cuz I love them. So there you go....our story. A piece of us both. That's how I like to refer to it. CJ |

Did this for my 40th birthday last September, it's a Labrys engulfed in flames(for my burning pride), and smoke that rises up behind and above to form an image of the Goddess spirit. The purple shaft is for gay pride too, as is the interlocking double female symbols at the top of the labrys to show I'm a proud and out lesbian. The labrys is my connection to my Amazon ancestors. I love the site and seeing others' pride tattoos!!! Thank you!!! Juliet Williamson |

Here is a picture of my tattoo. I put some thought into it. The dolphin - one of my favorite creatures - is done as a celtic knot symbolising one with nature (harmony) and the ying yang within the waves is for the the balance within one's life. Linda |

Here it is! Brand-spankin' new! My first tattoo!! Inked 7/29/01-12:55pm. It's on my left calf. A little background: The three Korean symbols stand for my beloved martial art "Taekwon Do" and the red and blue swirls represent the Yang and Um symbols (or ying yang as many people know them), in the Korean flag (with the colors matching the flag as well). I will be adding the rest of the flag's detail at a later date (probably at the Cherry Hill con, so I can go back to the same place that did this one). Paws Here's a shot of my new (unfinished) tattoo, that I got in NY. (2002) Paws |

Opustat.jpg 40Kb OZtat.jpg 77Kb swordtat.jpg 41 Kb Phil /OZ <aka Warrior Nut Case> |
Explanations...hmmmmmmmm...let's see... Well, Opus the penguin (from Bloom County by Berke
Breathed) is one of my favorite comic strip characters. Doncha just
love the "why me" look and the Carmen Miranda hat? This was my first
tat. The sword (with the quill on the blade) comes from one of the first fanfic stories I ever read...Choices by Allyson Heisey. Excellent story. Better tattoo than what the pic shows too. (left calf) An original drawing by Lucia. The wizard hat is for "OZ", the scroll and quill for my association with the Royal Academy of Bards and the pawprint...well, y'all can figure that one out. Btw, the quill is green and the pawprint is blue...go figure. <.bg.> (right calf) PHIL/OZ |

Here is a pic of the tattoos on my left upper arm. They look a bit squished because I used my scanner to take the picture. Unorthodox, yes. but it did work. I have no images of the one on my leg, as it doesn't look nearly as pretty. : ) wttw, |
