i would love to get a tattoo! im gonna get one as soon as i can.
im getting it on my lower back but i dont know what of yet.
the last thing i would get is a guy's name though. i think people that do that shouldn't because you usually just end up breaking up anyways..than what?

I have one on my foot ...




And I want more!! But I'm planning on doing professional opera and for performers, tattoos are really frowned upon

Eventually my plan is to get the signature of my father, mother and of my hero to have copied somewhere so that it's small but it's still there. My mother's will be hard seeing as I'll have to find something she signed while she was alive in order to get it. Later on in life, though, I plan on getting my children's names tattooed on me as well.

i have 5 tattoos now,and i love them,dont regret them and there will be more to come;i think i not really care what others say,but you really need to think before you let yourself get one,its there forever,
most of the time i forget i have them,lol

It is definitely hard when tattoos affect your professional life.  Thankfully in my line of work it does not really matter if I have them, so long as I do not show off the more hidden ones.  Did you find that the foot hurt tremendously though?  My sister has one on her foot and she said it was fine, but I thought it was just horrendous.

I plan on being a tattoo artist myself, and plan on getting full sleeves, a full backpiece, and legwarmers.

and if my body is a temple, then my tattoos are simply the art in the hallways.

I don't like large colourful ones, and I wouldn't get one of them as how it would look when I'm old, but I do have my step dads name and then date he died on my back just above my hip on the right. I don't regret having that done. I got that 2 months ago, a week after he died.

I Would Be Too Scared Because I Dont Like Needles And I Would Be Afraid It Would Make Me Look Manly

I have to say that the needles they use are not really the same.  I know that a lot of people who are afraid of needles still don't like them though.  I guess I never thought of tattoo needles as being in the same category haha.

regarding concerns when your old that all these pretty tattoos will not look the same. i've decided i don't care, i certainly would never regret the meaningful decorations (i got flowers because i love them and they're pretty, but they've acquired deep meaning to me because i remember my life and myself back then, and my good friend from hs did them while in his apprenticeship to become a tattoo artist) who cares if i sag and have some color on my old skin?

i give so many hours up of my life for work and school, that when i am free i try to live for that moment and if it makes me happy then i'm gonna do it.

Im considering it.

That is a good way of thinking about it!  Also, I figure myself that when I am old and saggy it doesn't matter how I look anyway, so why would I care about a few ugly tattoos?  Haha.  I have no one to impress!  Also, I decided long ago that I will be a rabbit/cat lady anyway.

I absolutely love tattoos and piercings.

I want to get two tattoos, it's just a matter of deciding where I want them and having the money.

i like tatoos.....the normal one's...(not huge or silly!!) but i wouldn't ever do one.....i'm not sure that at my sixties i'd like to be marked.....and lazer isn't the best way....maybe i'd do smth non permanent....
