Do You Have A Tattoo?

Missevanston

Please tell me why or why not?

Are you happy with it? Do you have more than one? Is it large or small? Privately located or loudly, proudly displayed?

Do you regret it? Would you do it again? Why or Why not?

Thanks!:flowerforyou:

I don't have a tattoo...They're really amazing, body art is beautiful, but I move through things too fast, I think. It'll be interesting to see what people say.

I have 7, some hidden most of the time and some not......but all can be visable if I want as non of them are ``privately placed.. I have 2 small, 4 med and 1 large. Don`t regret any of them `(some are 13 years old and my newest 2 are only 3 months old) and yes I would do it again......actually I have about 7 more tattoos I want some day!

I love my tat. I just have one and it's about medium in size on my left left right above my ankle. I don't regret it at all and i would do it again over and over again. It has my kids names on it and their favorite colors at the time.

I am thinking of having a fleur de lys (from grandmere's family crest) behind my right ear (the size of a quarter). Out of immediate sight, easy to hide, small. I'm so anxious about finding someone who can do small work well, it will probably never be done.

I had my eyebrow pierced when I was in high school but took it out a few years ago. Not worth the flak I would get for it.

Nope! First--cost, Second--not sure I can pick something for life like that
I got a belly piercing when I lost weight the first time. I can change it or take it out any time I want. Funny thing tho--three years and haven't changed it. Still the first one I got.

Not yet, when I reach my goal weight I that will be my reward. I plan on getting the names of my children and husband around my left ankle. My husband has 4 of them. So sexy.

I have 7. All in places that can be seen if I want to show them. 2 large, 2 medium and 3 small. I will get more.

Today we actually spent 3 hours getting my husband a new one...his second.

jaycurran

Yep! I guess its medium sized, its on my wrist, and I will never regret it! Its the stomach/oesophogeal cancer support ribbon with "If you didn't laugh, you'd cry" Written above/through/under it.

My profile pic is the one on my ankle. I've had just the Mickey outline about 11 years and had it touched up and the flowers added about a year ago. I have another, a penguin, on my right hip that I got when I was 19.

I'm already thinking about getting another. I just need to decide what and where. Tattoos are, and should be, personal. They should have meaning to the person who has them. The choice to display them publicly should not be taken lightly, either, as they can limit your career choices. There's another fairly recent thread about this very subject.

No. Good thing too or my wife would've never wanted me. I've seen tats on her grandpa. He has a huge tiger on his back. Looks like a sickly wet cat now. Main reason why I don't want one.

I have five, four of which I love. I dislike the one on my arm because it is poorly done and cannot be hidden if I want to wear something dressy. Like a dress with no sleeves. I am ashamed frankly but I have learned to live with it. I have nautical stars on each of my calves, a symbol meaning "vow" between my shoulders and a symbol meaning "commitment" on my lower back. I do not regret any of my tattoos other then the one on my arm. Frankly, I looooooove tattoos and think of them as body art. To each their own though.... Hope that helps!

I have one tattoo on the inside of my forearm, about three inches long. It's a design with the word "Andiamo", which is Italian for "Let's go!" I've always wanted a tattoo and when I made the move out to CO from IN by myself, I thought it was time to buck up and get one for me. I don't regret it a single day and I love having it out to display for everyone. One day, I hope to get another one.

I have 3. I have two medium sized flowers on my calf, and a WIP dragon that's the entire length of my thigh. They're easy enough to cover being on my legs, should I need it.
I don't regret and thing and I intend to get more.

shasslock

I have 8....they are all medium to large in size. I love them all and they are all usually visible at all times.

xtinalovexo

I have 2! A cute lil mushroom with a star on my shoulder/chest area (kinda hard to xplain) and a another on my hip, it is a stretched out, ugly fat star haha.

I want more

When I reach a goal weight I will reward myself!

wbgolden

I have one that's almost 20 years old. Begging for a cover-up (one of these days).

Elleinnz

Yes - I have a scorpion (about 1 1/2 inches) on my chest (just about where my bra strap sits) , so most of the time it is private, but if I wear a pair of togs you can see it peeking out....

It is my my star sign, and I don't regret it at all.....

IMYarnCraz33

Don't have any but want at least 1 or 2.

SusM321

Yes, I have 4...all can be hidden or not. No regrets here. Contrary to what my kids say (time to stop, said lovingly) I do want at least one more; something made with all my kids & grandkids names (that could be updated), exactly how or what just hasn't hit me yet. I love my ink!!

deadliftdavie1918

I have two. One is a philipino tribal symbol, it symbolizes the female, it's on my wrist. I got it when I was with my ex. I don't regret it - it's my girl power tattoo. I got it because she was wearing it when we met. My other is on my back, it's a flower blooming out of fire with a butterfly flying away from it. I adore that tattoo - it symbolized my own rebirth. I am definitely getting more, just not sure what yet.

NicoleLyn1818

I do have a tattoo....two actually. Both are pretty personalized, as I designed both of them and every piece of them has a meaning. They are both in spots that can be hidden (upper back and outside of right ankle).

One is on my upper back, medium/large-ish. It is in honor of my grandpa who died three years ago. It is an army hat (he was in the army and served during WWII), along with two purple flowers that mean life and also a blue forget-me-not. His name is right above the top of the hat.

My second one is on the outside of my right ankle, small/medium-ish. It is a pink flower that means happiness and contentment. Around the outside of the flower petals (but on top of them) is a saying as follows "Angels lift us up when our wings forget to fly..." in honor of the people in my life who have passed on, whether it be from cancer, COPD and other lung issues, or suicide. They are never forgotten and I feel that they are always watching over me somehow.

I don't regret them and actually wish to have a couple more. Someday within the next few years, I'm sure I'll be able to plan it out. They both took me a while to decide exactly what I wanted.

fastbelly

I have one and planning on getting another one soon.

snkeller24

5 total right now. 2 on my back (one large), 1 small one on my stomach, one on each foot

I love them all because it was kind of a growing phase for me ... 16 years old, 18, 20, 21, and 22. Next one and probably my final unless I go all out and get a 1/2 sleeve will be around 25.

I find it relaxing. I find them unique if you have a good artist and you're open to their art style.

Its my body ... I'll do with it what I want.

And it's true they're addicting.

My right foot is 'hope' written in pink ribbon; my grandmother is a breast cancer survivor. My left food is a dandelion that says 'Not all those who wander are lost'. My hip/bikini line is an outline of a maltesse cross for the fire service. My "tramp stamp" is clovers and squiggles (first tattoo/part irish). My last one takes up one side of my back ... it's girly tribal/french art nothing with meaning other then we (artist and I) designed it together.

Next weekend I will! I'm going to be getting a Zia- It's on the New Mexico state flag; it represents the four seasons, the four directions, the four stages of life, and the four times of day. The circle in the middle represents never ending love and brother hood. It's going on my foot, and I sure as hell hope I don't regret it!

Jennjenn1974

I have the Eye of Ra on the left shoulder. My first and only tattoo at the moment, however, that is going to change soon as I have my second currently been drawn up

carrie145

I have two. I have a dolphin jumping over a heart on the calf of my right leg. It's small, I have one on my left arm as well. I am thinking about getting my daughters initials put in the heart. I some times regret the one on my arm, as the lady said before you can't hide it when you want to dress up. I would like to get a dragonfly somewhere. Maybe my wrist or foot? Still debating...

bluegirl10

Yes, I have three... one has two roses (ankle), one is a tiger (other ankle) and the other has two dolphins (lower back)... I love them all and may get more later on.

CavewomanCoby

Yup, love them! I have a big mural up my side of a daffodil and some hummingbirds - I have a line from a John Keats poem high on my ribs, I have a butterfly near my hip bone and when I reach my goal weight I'm getting a Shakespeare quote up my other side

Shalimarmandy

I have one. I don't regret getting one but I regret the placement and partially the design. I wanted a frog b/c I love frogs. But I rushed into getting it at 19 and don't like the design so much now wish it was more cartoon-like. I placed it on the inside of my right ankle as low as the tattoo artist was willing to place it. I wanted it to look like a frog was hopping past my foot. But I'm a teacher now and any time I wear dress shoes there is a chance students will see it and then it becomes the topic of discussion (this happens several times a year because someone always misses the first one and someone else forgets about it).

So I like it but don't LOVE it...
