Tattoos that symbolize swinging or refer you as being a swinger?

Recommended Posts

Does anyone else have a tattoo that references swinging in some way?

 

I've been trying to come up with a cool idea to integrate some sort of swinger symbol into a tattoo in an interesting way. The location will put it somewhere that will be covered unless I choose otherwise (front of hip/pelivic bone) so that's not so much an issue, but I don't want to just throw a swinger symbol on there and be done... ideas?

What are swinger symbols?

 

Usually some combination of the male/female symbol intertwined (2 male/ 2female or 1male/ 2female), depending on what you are into. Like this.

 

 

Someone also sent me this symbol on twitter. I've never seen it before as a swinger symbol, but it's pretty cool.

 

One thought I've been playing with in my mind (because I like dragonflies) is to use dragonflies as the male/female symbols... drawing them with their heads in alternating directions and wings in different positions to represent. This one gave me the idea. I may have to draw it out just to make it make sense.

Maybe incorporate something along the lines of the SLS logo of alternative people hand in hand? I'm thinking maybe use that as the border around something else or else intertwined into something else? It's a recognizable thing to swingers, but not to nonswingers, and since it is just part of something else, you probably could use it somewhere more visible if you so choose. Those who know will know, and those who don't won't.

 

Here's where I got this idea. There was a small gym in the area that opened a while back. Their logo in their window was nearly identical to SLS's, and it immediately caught my eye the first time I saw it driving by since it was a recognizable symbol to me as a swinger, which is what you are shooting for with the tattoo. Some different symbol and I probably wouldn't have noticed the place at all otherwise. It's no longer in business, but the place was called "Lifestyles Gym" too, no lie. My swingdar just pegged out on that. Me and Mrs both agreed that was likely no coincidence.

I have not seen anyone with a swinger tattoo, but I have a friend who has a poly symbol tattoo. It is a heart with an infinity sign overlayed.

 

I also met a girl with a cat on her hip. She said, "It's because I like pussy on the side!"

It's going to be in a location where the only people who would see it are already seeing me naked, so it's not so much about identifying myself as just something I'd like to do. As for using the SLS logo, that's their logo so there may be a copyright issue there that I wouldn't want to tread on... plus it's SLS and I don't really want to put anyone's logo on my body.

If it is self expression, I'd go with the dragonfly idea. It joins you and your passions together to make a statement about who you are.

nope, don't want to get your ass sued for, well, what's on your ass :) SLS's is the chain of Gumby stick people with arms up in the air thing, I was thinking more just that kind of thing of a MFMFMFMFMF row of the stick people where the girls have the little triangle bodies like this Stick Figure Female clip art - vector clip art online, royalty free & public domain. Done as a small chain-like border around something else that is the main part of the tattoo, I think that would be kinda cool. You could alternate male and female head to toe kinda like 69 too. Would make a good ankle band too.

You just gave me an idea. I'll have to see if I can draw it up.

 

I love the ankle band idea.

My first planned tattoo is a poly symbol. If I don't hate it, maybe I'll have to make a swinger tattoo next on my list...

OK, now I must ask. What kind of tattoo would be an unplanned tattoo?

 

lol One that you get spur of the moment, I suppose. I don't have any tattoos at the moment. I am getting my first one in June.

My first was unplanned. I just decided I wanted one spur of the moment, walked in, picked it out then decided where I'd have it put. It's the one on my shoulder (if you've seen my tattoos). My other one (which was done over two visits over 5 years) was very much planned. I knew what I wanted when I went in but thought it would take more time to do than it did, so I only had them do part of it the first time through. It just took me several years to get around to finally finishing it.

I like this. Attractive and represents a true expression. Not so overt, however, as to attract the wrong kind of attention.

I'm thinking about using some form of the stick people idea and working that into the mist.

 

I'm thinking if I did the stick figures head between legs in a curving/flowing line it could blend into the overall tattoo idea and still look pretty cool.

That's it! Exactly what I was trying to describe. I like the head between legs in a line even better for what you are going to use it for with the sweeping lines with the dragonflies, good idea there.

 

Ok, so now you need to go get it tonight so we can see pics of how it turned out :D

Might have to wait a few on that.... :) But, at least I have it figured out. It will likely be June at the earliest before I get it... but ya never know. I do promise that once I get it I will post pics.

A friend of ours said she was stopped at the BMV and asked about her tattoo and if she was in the lifestyle. The tattoo was a yellow rose = friendship with a cherry = bonus/benefits. I didn't make the connection myself, but thought it was interesting.

Having a military background I can tell a very large number of those are unplanned. I lost count of tattoo stories that included that statement "the next day I woke up and there it was." Military towns have a great many bars and tattoo parlors, usually not too distant from each other either.

I thought this was an interesting question! Do we have any members here that have a swinger-themed tattoo?

My husband has a pair of antlers tattooed to his upper thigh to symbolize that he's my cuckold and my bull has instructed me to have the intertwined mfm gender symbols tattooed to my shaved mons pubis.

      Okay, I'm not putting them down, if they turn you on to have one or to see someone with one, that's your thing, no problem here.
       
      What I'm wondering is if a fairly young woman gets a tattoo in her teens or twenty, what will it look like in her fifties and sixties?

      Just wondering how/what the swinging world thinks of tattoos. Both my husband and I have them, and love them. What about you?

      One more poll idea and then I promise I'll stop with the poll posting for a bit.
       
      I was looking at my poll attempt on favorite tattoo locations and thinking to myself about how gender seems to play a significant role in whether or not a tattoo in a certain place is considered sexy. Of course, that isn't *so* surprising. But I do think it's interesting that gender plays such an important role in our thinking about this.
       
      So here's the question,
       
      Who do tattoos look better on, men or women?
       
      Please be gentle.

      What's your very favorite location for a tattoo? - where almost every one you've seen has made you drool.
       
      Personally I really like delicate lower back tattoos on women (and the big bicep tattoo on a man is a close second).
