    I LOVE my tattoos, I have 5 and the first one I got 25 yrs ago looks pretty darn decent still. I have 2 that are cover ups because I was hasty with them but they are beautiful now. My future holds more.
    A walking canvas is beautiful thing!

    Tattoos are beautiful and exhilarating! I have three and am planning my next for my 50th birthday this year!!
    I'm working on my own design and deciding where I want to put it. I like mine where I can see them. :)

    My first is a small hand tat to celebrate my freedom in my late 20's.
    My second (left shoulder) is my own artwork and designed to remind myself to not give up.
    My third (right shoulder) is the one my Dad designed for me of my animal spirit guide (a black angel cat).
    (My Dad has been battling leukemia for the last two years and I treasure this piece of his artwork that I will carry with me always.)

    I think there was a rumor once that tattoos would go out of style, but then they seemed to become more popular and extravagant.
    I love it! There are ways to be safe and plenty of ways to integrate them into any lifestyle.

    Rock on in peace!! ♪❀♫¸¸.•¨¯❤

    My husband has several, I think two of my three kids have them. I was thinking of getting one when I get to goal weight, but my husband doesn't think I could handle the pain. I have a high tolerance for pain, but I'm not sure I want to do it on purpose...... I guess if I find the perfect tattoo I could handle it.

    hahaha are these children your biological children - as in you gave birth to them? if so then, pffffft you can handle a tattoo no problems!

    My dad is over 50, tattooed, and is also a well known attorney. A tattoo isn't a lack of class. Just sayin.
    Nope, too classless and trashy.

    Thats a little unfair...and rude!

    In her defense....everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Even if their opinion is presented in a classless and trashy manner.

    Just sayin', never met a 50+ person with a gravid tattoo.

    Wow! What a popular topic, this board is exploding!
    I just got my fourth last week
    I don't regret any of them
    I am a project manager in the corporate world
    They all have a special meaning to me
    I will continue to get more, regardless of my age, when the time and the art is right
    I have class
    I have pride in my ink
    I am currently working on modifying our corporate policy (no visible tattoos) to "no offensive visible tattoos" because of the increasing popularity and social acceptance of tattoos.

    This message board is ammunition to my cause - thank you fellow tattooed professionals
    :flowerforyou:

    I am a teacher. I have 6 tattoos but only one visible during work and that is an egyptian hieroglyphic on my foot. We are allowed to show tattoos as long as they are tasteful and not in an innapropriate place, ex. No student should see a tattoo thats placed on your hip. Several teachers I know have very tasteful tattoos on their ankles,feet, even wrists. It is a form of expression that shouldnt be hindered, within reason at the workplace. I agree that it is becoming much more socially acceptable as many well educated and well mannered people get tattoos. Its far from tasteless and trashy. You can very easily be those things WITHOUT a tattoo.

    Proudly inked and love them all! My first was a tribal rose tattoo on my right shoulder. There isn't any significant meaning behind it; I had been working at my first job for a while, saved up enough money and decided that I wanted a tattoo! I told myself that I would get "one, *maybe* two more"... I'm now up to five tattoos. I have a band of Celtic knotwork going around my right ankle, lotus flowers on my left calf, and two music-inspired ones on my left arm. I'm sure when the time and finances are right, there will be more. :smile:

    Yep. But I usually go for something that makes people want to ask me what it means.

    That way I can just make something up at the time, since they are usually for 'ME'.

    My opinion=if people are going to judge based on your ink, they would find another reason to judge if you didn't have it. EF EM'.

    My next three will all be writing. 1 in Spanish about my son (he is 1/2 hispanic) and one in Latin/English grammar, and one in Lakota Sioux/English grammer=documenting the things that have made me who I am.
