Your tattoos

As showing of your tattoos at work is becoming more acceptable, we are giving you a chance to show them off on Boston.com!

When you upload your photos, be sure to include:
  • Your name
  • The town or city where you live
  • Any interesting tidbits (don't be shy)
  • Here are some tips for uploading your photos:

  • Try and send a close up of the design
  • Include information about when and where you got the tattoo
  • Tell us about the most unique or original part of your tattoo
  • Step-by-step directions on uploading your photos:

    1. Click here to sign in using your Boston.com account If you do not have an account, please take a moment to register.
    2. After you have signed in, Click here and click "Upload your photos now."
    3. You'll be taken to the multi-file uploader so you can upload a bunch of photos. If you'd rather do them one at a time that option is there as well. Assuming you choose the multi-file uploader, click "add files" on the right and then select the photos from wherever you've saved them. Presumably from your desk top or another folder on your machine.
    4. Once you've selected the photos, click "upload files." When the screen refreshes, you should see small versions of the photos on your screen.
    5. Click on one of the photos and you'll be taken to a new screen that allows you to write in caption text. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO FILL IN THE CAPTION FIELD. Fill in the caption and then click "save and open next photo" and go through your gallery and add in the captions.
    6. You're done! Go to this page to see your new gallery:
