KniTAT

.

Tattoos can be a "controversial" thing and especially when it comes to WHAT is being tattooed on ones body... forever... as long as they are living... or still have that part of their body. But I as being a tattooed knitter obviously do not have a problem with them.
.

A good friend of mine and I have been visiting a lot lately about knitting tattoos. As we have sat and brained stormed ideas (for her mainly) I think she has decided on what she is wanting but as the responsible little lady that she is... she is putting much thought into and making sure that every little detail of what she is wanting is perfect and unchanged. But I couldn't help but wonder what other passionate knitters have had the idea of a "knitting tattoo". and so I googled it. I've only posted a few but thought they were unique. :)

The first one (on the arm) I thought was rather pretty due to the coloring. Although it seems rather large (which I'm sure it was intended to be) I like it!

The second one with the needles knitting the mitten.... I'm fond of and I thought it was rather creative! I love the coloring on it and thought the needles looked rather realistic (though I prefer wooden needles over metal) and the mitten is right on! It's even consistent in the amount of stitches! lol Of course I would notice that and I am sure other knitters would have too!

BUT

The third one I thought took the cake! Not that I would get that tattooed but seriously would have to say that is one piece of art! Who would have thought of that?! I mean really! Pure bad-awesomeness (In the words of my friend, Star).

.

I DO have a knitting tattoo but put much thought into it. Maybe someday I will get another one with a fancy ball of yarn or knitting needles but I am content with the little and simple one that I have.

In the first picture I am sure it is hard to see but it is that little red smudge on my collarbone. Below that picture is a closer look at it and it says "K2Tog". If you're a knitter you already know what that means and are very familiar with it but for those of you who don't know it means that when you knit you actually knit two separate stitches together to make them one. So "K2tog" means to "Knit 2 together". I wanted something that represented my love of knitting but also wanted something to represented my marriage. They say that when two get married they become one. Almost like we were knitted together. :) So glad I'm knitted to him!

I hope you all are ready for the weekend because it is just around the corner. All of you be safe please and I hope to check back in with you soon! Who knows... maybe some of you will have some new ink to show off! (or maybe a few ideas at least!)

Much love to you all!
