Description:

Research suggests that about 20% of adults today are tattooed! Let's share our tattoo stories :)

For this swap: -Choose ONE tattoo. If you currently have tattoos, choose one that you have. If you do not have any tattoos, choose one that you desperately want.

-Include some sort of image of your tattoo. It may be an actual picture, or it may be your own drawing! Just include a visual depiction of your tattoo.

-Explain what it is and what it means to you. Even if there is no meaningful meaning behind your tattoo (I have a couple of silly ones), you should be able to say something about why you got it or why you chose that particular design.

-If you are actually tattooed, tell about your experience getting it. Where did you go? Who went with you? What was your artist and the shop like?

-There is no length requirement, but try to write at least several sentences for each part. We are sharing stories! Write as much as you want/need :)


Can be written or typed, but don't forget to include an image.

I can't say what will get you a heart, but I encourage everyone to rate fairly and give those hearts out if you feel your partner tried to do a nice job.

4.8 is required or newbies with well-filled out profile. I have the right to ban even though I don't want to and PLEASE don't flake! I'll angel but just don't join if you don't think you can send on time.

Don't forget to include your SwapBOT ID and Swap Name on your letter.


If this goes well, I'll host again, and we can talk about a different tattoo! I might also do "my first tattoo," "my dream tattoo," "my awful tattoo" lol we'll see! Feel free to leave suggestions

I love this idea! I have 17 tattoos and I always LOVE hearing about other people's ink. Great swap =)

I want to join but I'm not in the US :(

@xsugarycarnival anyone is welcome to start an international version of this same swap, just let me know! If I don't see it pop up, I might start it, but I'm still not sure yet. @ArtistShu thanks! I'm definitely going to do it again but with a theme like first tattoo :)

Can I do this swap with a handmade Postcard drawing of my tattoo or must it be a letter in an envelope?

TrixieShakewell 09/18/2013 #

@MissPaula I really like that idea, but you might want to see if that's something your partner would like. Also, make sure if that is the case that you can fit all the info that's called for on your postcard. You'll want to write at least several sentences for each part!
