    I have 3 tattoos. I'm more into my piercings. I have 25 :)

    I loved the piercings I had when I had them. I had 13, but only 6 are still 'in operation'.

    So who in here likes tatts.? & if you do where do you think is the best/worst place to get one & what kind?

    I love them, and I have several. That said, the best/worst place and best/worst type is SO subjective. What works great on one person might look ridiculous on the next.

    Tattoos are art; I've heard it said that "you wouldn't walk into someone's home and ask 'what does that painting on the wall mean to you?' so why do we feel the need to make people explain their tattoos."

    The only thing that IS important is the QUALITY of the tattoo. It's something you're going to have forever, so whether it's the size of a ladybug, or covers half your body, take the time to do your homework and get a great artist (and then once you have it - TAKE CARE OF IT - that means sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen!)

    For placement, my lower belly was the perfect place for my first tattoo. It didn't hurt at all. Just a buzzing feeling like an electric razor. It was a good meaty area to start. :laugh:

    The one on my calf/ankle was a little more tender. It stung when he got closer to bone near my ankle. And later that night and the next day, it kinda felt like someone took a cheese grater to my leg. I wore capris for days after, in part because it was sensitive, but mostly because I wanted to show it off and see it.

    My husband reports that the inside of the wrist is very sensitive. His hand and fingers kept jumping involuntarily as nerves were hit.

    UGH... yeah, lower calf, ankle & foot = AGONY for me!

    Also, the last one I got on my lower calf made my foot swell for WEEKS... I thought it was infected, but it's a common response apparently.

    Most painful spot, however, was my ribs. I nearly passed out. lol

    I use to be big into piercings but I eventually got tired of baby siting them because of my job.

    I take all of mine out and then put them back in again at the end of the day because of my job. It's a bit of a pain, but it's a labour of love :)

    I have Cinderella's castle on the inside of my right leg. As I run a half or full marathon I'm adding stick running figures to it. Need to get in and add 2 for marathon weekend early this month. also have my hubby's name on my finger. i'm not a big jewerly person so we both got our names tattooed on. Due to his type of work he's not allowed to wear one at work safety reasons (works with rock crushing equip)

    I agree that The quality is important...What works on one might not work on another...I know everybody has different opinions & feelings about 'em just wanted to see some opinions...perhaps I didn't phrase my question right ...lol...but I like the thread so far...all the dif' things people have shared...

    I have 3 ... soon to be 4. I agree with 305 muscle... It's YOUR body, so no one else can decide what's best for you.

    I personally choose places that are hide-able and show-ab;e. :-D Being a teacher I want to be able to put them away, but bring them out too when I want! :-D I have an ankle, a back and a low neck tattoo now, the 4th will be shoulder blade. Especially since I am working toward a HOT back! ;)

    Tats are HOT! ;)

    On my back I have a vine down my spine with the words "Love God Above All Other Things". I have a sparrow over each kidney a firefly at the top of my butt crack for my husband, a ladybug on a leaf of my vine for my youngest, a bee shaped like a bean for my oldest,a monarch for my foster mother, a Morpho Didus on my left shoulder for my BFF,Two shrooms hith P.L.U.R. above them for my younger days. I Love the way it feels getting my spine done!
    I have an unfinished butterfly on my ribcage. It hurt so bad I will never finish it!
    3 hearts with a Daisy on my hand for my babies.
    1 heart on my hip.
    An ankle bracelet of hearts and Daisies on my left ankle.
    More still to come!

    I honestly think that if your wanting a tatt u need to put it somewhere u can see it.I have two one on my back and one on my arm. I love them both but I think its a little sad that I don't get to enjoy looking at the one on my back. I have also heard this from other people as well but didn't believe it until I had done it.

    I love tatts, I have one one my inside ankle and lower back. When I get to my goal weight and have a decent body back I will get another as a reward for my hard work.
