I especially like when I spy little semi hidden tattoos.
I had two lovely ladies come into the salon for facials the other day. A mother and daughter. The mom had facials in the past but the daughter never had one.
This beautiful tattoo belongs to a friend of mine. It's on the side of her body. Like many tattoos, it has special meaning. That's what I love about tattoos. There's almost always a special meaning to them.
This tattoo began as 3 butterflies representing this special person, her sister and her mother. You can see them there in the center in blue, pink and yellow.
The tattoo then grew a few years later with beautiful pink flowers to honor her mother. It's a butterfly garden. I just love a butterfly garden...
Pink tulips are her Mom's favorite flowers. Such a beautiful, special tribute.
Look at this amazing face!
How awesome is this cat?
Guaranteed anniversary remembrance!
But not everyone sees them as joyful. My parents for instance. During our family beach vacations, I hear many comments from them as they people watch on the beach. "Oh! Look at that one. It's disgusting." or the classic, "If God wanted people to have tattoos, he would have put them there." Bahahaha! Little do they know, I have a hidden tattoo of my own!
On one of our many family beach vacations, my sister and I decided it would be a fabulous idea to put tattoo decals on our lower backs. Not only on us, but on our teenage daughters as well. Then, we planned to show up at the beach after Mom and Dad had settled in for their people watching. It couldn't have gone more perfectly. Well, actually it would have been more perfect if a video camera was rolling to catch their reactions.
In a nutshell, they freaked out. Mom said, "Oh Jill! You got a tattoo. How revolting." We told them there was a buy get, one free deal on the boardwalk so our girls got one too. Other people were actually enjoying the show from their beach blankets. What a spectacle! Mom caught on pretty quickly though and spoiled the fun. She realized they were decals, but we would have had Dad going all day!!! Here's a pic!
I feared for my niece when they would see her real tattoos this year during our family beach vacation, but oddly enough, there were no comments. Either they saw them and chose to keep their mouths shut or their eyesight is really bad at this point!!!
Sometimes you just have to cover a tattoo up to avoid a scene. In fact, that niece of mine just got a new job as a server in a restaurant. She was told she has to cover the tattoo on her forearm. It's easy to cover a small tattoo and keep it covered all day with the right makeup. I have covered small tattoos with makeup for clients for special occasions in a flash.
Now you see it. Now you don't!

Large tattoos take some serious time to cover. You had better get a job that allows tattoos to show!!!
Here are some of my favorite big and beautiful tattoo ideas:
I love this mermaid!
And I love animals, too!
Mom thought getting facials would be a special thing that she could do with her daughter since her daughter does so many things with her friends. A moisturizing hand massage is included in my facials and every once in a while I find a fun surprise.... a little hidden tattoo!
As I massaged the daughter's hand, I spied words on the underside of her wrist. Toora Loora Li. Words from An Irish Lullaby. I didn't ask about it. I just enjoyed seeing it and created a story in my head about it.
Many employers don't allow tattoos to be visible, so little hidden tattoos are perfect.
The underside of the wrist is a great area to place a not so obvious tattoo. The ankle is easy to hide too.
The ribs are perfectly hidden for work. Well, for most jobs anyway!
Many people get tattoos that have special meaning. Tattoos in honor of someone or in memory of someone or a pet. It makes them extra special. Joyful little pieces of art!
