What was it? Regret it?
My first was about a month after I turned 18. Its on my upper back in the center.. Its basically 5 stars.. one star.. the largest star is a star thats a little different from the others.. the inside is shaded with this design..kinda hard to explain wish i had a picture.. ( its a star that was on the cover of my moms old diary and this necklace she used to wear.. i think it was a set.. she fell into a comma when i was 12 then passed away when i was 18 so I wanted to get something that reminded me of her) the other 4 stars surround the star and symbolize my 3 sisters and I. I dont regret it at all. Ive only had it for about 2years but I dont think Ill ever regret it. |

I got my first when I was 20. I'm 21 now and itching for another already. I definitely don't regret my first. I put a lot of meaning into that one, so I think my next one is just going to be something that looks cool  |

I was 21. Half of it was actually a house warming/birthday/christmas gift from my sister and her husband. I already planned to get it, and already had the funds but since they didn't get me gifts for those occasions instead of thinking of something on their own they piggy backed lol...
Anywho, it was basically my gift to myself for my 21st (well at least half.. I always love to give myself gifts..  ) but moving on.. it's a dragon, very cliche... I know... but in my culture (as most others do) there's a myth that my people derived from a dragon king and fairy mating laying 100 eggs, which 50 were bought down to the lands to create the empire and 50 stayed with their mother in the mountains...
So technically (or mythical-ly) speaking all of my people came from a dragon... so there is a little bit of dragon in each of us... I was very specific with mines and it's very detailed orientated (as I am...) 5 claws was a must... since you lose claws going too far east (jap as 3 claws) and you gain claws going west... that's why there were no dragons in the US because they would have too many or not enough... to survive and fly...
Anywho, I don't have it wrapping around my arm due to work issues... (definitely not acceptable) so I have it coming out of my back... as if it was in me and now pulling itself out over my shoulder and to my chest... There is a pearl in its mouth (which I never seen tattooed before) and that will be for my future children and their names... the pearl is actually as close to my heart (literal location) as possible to actually represent my children will be the closest thing to my heart (yeah I know it's tacky..)
Back to the claws 5 claws represented imperial life back in the day and actually anyone with a 5 clawed dragon that wasn't part of the emperor family would be slain... but I believe due to my mother's struggling to America I feel as if I was gifted with the opportunity to royalty... As for the claws on the right hand (which again is closest to my heart, alot of metaphors) my brother, mother, and sister's initials are embedded into the claws (I have a very small family...) and on the left is my brother-in-law and uncle.. (both whom helped my family out drastically in their own ways... and I wouldn't be who I am today without any of them... literally) so they are kind of pulling the dragon inside of me out...
As for the scales... 21 of the scales are shaded a different color... to represent the 21 years I've been alive... and also to represent my birthday...
I know this is a long description... and probably the only online description I've ever posted... (most likely the last too) so I'll just stop here... there are a few more little details that are close to me but that's the overall picture... |

To the OP: sorry to hear about your mom. 6 years with her in a coma must have been really hard to deal with. I got my first tattoo at 27

He isn't annoying he's fucking right. Trying to read a bold blue post hurts my eyes.

few days after I turned 18 - Cherry Blossom branch down my hip.
Don't regret it, doubt I ever will.
