    Its your choice, its your body. I'm 55 and one day I need to get one, always thought of getting a zip tattooed over my scar since surgeons had to go in the same way three times hahaha :)

    It's a personal choice. One that I happened to make. I have 4, all have significant meaning to me. (I am also itching for another one- top of my ribs area) A lot of my friends have them. Tattooing is an art and should be treated as such. You would pay good money for a piece of art that you hang in your house, why wouldn't you do the same for art that will permanently be on your body?

    I think both men and women look good with them.

    I think that they can be a great form of beautification or a lame display of hubris - it is like all art, a very subjective thing. I have one and it makes me happy. That's all I needed to get out of it.

    Tatoos are not art. They never increase in value and you cannot buy them on eBay. Never have seen one sold at auction. In most cases, it is illegal to cut them off for display. You will never see they left as an inheritence in someone will. They can be meaningingful to the individual who has they. An artist rendering of a tatoo is art but once it is placed on the body........ no longer art. Art is classified as an object. Human beings are not objects.

    Personal opinion: females over 35 probably shouldn't be opting to get a lower back tattoo to get their "sexy" back. Just get sexy.

    I think that getting tattoos is purely subjective. I also don't think that those people into tattooing care what the rest of the world thinks.

    I have several. Some have meaning. Some are the product of a drunken weekend in Okinawa. I regret nothing, but would probably not have a couple of them if I were to make the choice today.

    As for what others do, that's their choice. I like some. I dislike others.

    Some tattoos are enhancements. Some tattoos are not. Some tattoos on beautiful women are just graffiti on an otherwise beautiful work of art.

    I just got my first and I love it! I think it's lovely and feminine, and it has personal meaning.

    I have several and want more. I think if you want them get them. If you don't, well don't. If you take care of you.. don't worry about what anyone else thinks. It's personal art!!!

    None, but I've been considering one the last 4-5 years. It's just a matter of deciding on what, where and making the commitment.

    Aside from it being a form of expression, for many people it's also a cultural thing.

    I have some and plan on getting a lot more, luckily I get them for free. What I hear a lot is, "Yeah but how will your tattoos look when you're older?" I figure I can wear a long sleeve shirt in my coffin.

    lol :D
