I'm probably done. Never say never though, especially with tats!
I got a tattoo on my mission at the parlor on the corner of Beach and Ball in orange county. I was bored with tracting and had an enjoyable companion at the time.
1.) Eagle, flag, "USA" banner (from my Army days), left bicep 2.) Heart with arrows piercing it, banner wrapping around with my kids names on it, right bicep 3.) Huguenot cross, outside right calf 4.) Script "A screaming comes across the sky." inside right calf
I do like ink but I'm probably done now. I had the first two already when I converted, got the second two after I left. The TSCC had nothing to do with getting the second two, I would have got them when I was a member if I wanted to, I just never got around to it.

I have two, a wolf on left inner forearm, and a pegasus, right shoulder that I got about 15 years ago when I was a rebellious TBMer. I also have an awesome dragon I got about 4 years ago on my left shoulder and a yin yang on the back of my left hand between my thumb and first finger and a funky star interlaced with a new moon and a pair of dice I gave myself about 2 years ago right above my right knee. Yeah I have a few and I do not regret any of them.
I have 3. I got my first on my lower back when I was 18 and home for a semester from college, January 2003. Coincidentally, I was the Primary's 1st counselor. I got a sacred heart similar to the one on the artwork for the movie for Romeo and Juliet. My mom found out one day when I slipped and fell down the stairs and my shirt came up. She was pissed. She told me not to get anymore and not to tell anyone at church.The following year I got one (on my hip)on the 4th of July (2004)in New York.This one is a tribal art sun. Two years ago (summer 2009) I got a moon and shooting stars going down from my hip to my rib cage on the opposite side of the sun tat. Tscc had nothing to do with getting any of the tattoos. I just knew if I got any, they'd have to be somewhere my parent's wouldn't see them.
I had about 10 prior to joining TSCC, and got about 4 during and 1 after leaving.
Years ago I had hoops in my ears as well, and when I was in the temple one time, a worker approached me and said
"How dare you enter the house of the lord with such defilement on your body...you must remove your earings now!"
I replied "My bishop and stake prez told me that it was up to me. God doesn't care about my earings, so you should examine why you are so upset right now and work on that. I'm keeping my earrings in, and my tattoos aren't going to be removed either."
