    Me too and it's long past time we do something about that.

    ^^^ agree...but i'm a wimp when it comes to pain... :sad:
    I seriously LOVE needles. Like, loooooooove them. The slight burn, the scrape, it's awesome.

    I also like shots and giving blood, though, so take that for what it's worth. I'm strange.

    I'm the same way, except for the needles for shots or blood! that scares the hell out of me lol but the pain from a tattoo is sweet! after about 8 hours of sitting and getting tattooed it starts to hurt a lot, I can only describe it as taking an exacto to your skin lol I stopped at nine hours because I was physically and mentally destroyed haha

    Every time you comment in a forum, it's rude. Do you make yourself feel better by trying to insult others?

    Damn! I quoted the wrong chick.

    When people ask me why I don't have any tatoos I say "Would you put a bumper sticker on a ferrari?" :laugh:

    My two cents, for what they are worth. I agree with some of the comments here. Like, make sure you're sure, think long and hard, get them for you... I have two and I love them both. I thought a long time about both of them and they are both in places that are easy to hide if need be. Most of my co-workers don't even know I have them. I like it that way because unfortunately there are people in the world who judge.

    Get a tattoo of the art piece that's been hanging over your parents' mantle for the last 50 years. You know, the one everyone is tired of looking at.

    We have a rule about tattoos in our house (for those who don't already have one): Think about something you want and keep that idea in your head for one year. If you still like that idea one year later - go get it.

    Once you have a few, you get better at determining what you do, and do not want.

    I have a few, and still use this rule. Thank goodness - otherwise I'd have a fairy and a rolling stones tongue. No bueno.

    I have used this rule for all of my ink. I also make sure I research the artist and make sure they have a good reputation, nice portfolio and the style I am looking for.

    Oh, and the last rule of thumb...you get what you pay for. Don't be stingy, if the artist charges 120 or more an hour for an 8 hour piece, save your money and go for it. You won't regret it, but you will regret going for the guy that gives you a fuzzy, average tattoo at a reasonable price.

    Get that full-back mural of Justin Bieber and Michael Jackson that you've always wanted.

    Then go shirtless at a Slayer concert.
    Wait, you stole that from my answer to the "what is your dream reward for reaching your goal" thread!
    You can still do it... just flip-flop which sides MJ and Biebs are on. Boom, original.

    you scare me just a little... but in a good, shivery sort of way...
    I've heard that more than once. :blushing:

    What should I do?

    keep it that way.

    yep. yep.

    personally, I wouldn't get one unless I had a VERY good sentimental reason to do so.

    Choose to be unique and mysterious by not getting one. That's what I did. LOL

    Hehe! I swear I am one of the only ones I know who does not have one. -- My sentiments exactly; I feel unique :)

    I agree :) I'm in the minority since I don't have one, and I like it that way :)

    Did you know that in America 2/3rd of all people in their 20s and 30s have at least one tattoo? It's funny because getting a tattoo was once thought of as being "rebelious" but now it is actually rebelious (at least to be in the minority, anyway) to NOT have one.

    Which is why I don't.:happy: :tongue:


    Agreed - We are rebels :bigsmile:

    I have 7 all with meaning, do it! Make sure it means something that when you are 90 you won't mind it still being there.
