I was thinking about getting a tattoo and wanted to know your general honest thoughts about them. Mine I would want small and nothing that stands out too much (was thinking of an outline of a heart with possibly and awareness ribbon small with it).

General thoughts about tattoos in general? Tips also welcome :)

    Yes but not on hands, face or neck. Go to a reputable shop. The feet hurt, anywhere over bone is painful. I love my foot tattoo though, it was with it.

    I say yes for sure as I already have a few myself xP Make sure it means something to you though, nothing's worse than a meaningless tattoo!

    I'm not a huge fan of tattoos, but I do like very small, tastefully done, sentimental ones that can be hidden for certain situations and occasions.

    I have two. The first one you can't see unless I'm naked (it's on my left hip). The second one, regrettably, is on my shoulder. I wish I hadn't done that. I don't recommend getting them somewhere that is hard to cover up. My roommate is having trouble finding a job because she has three on her wrists and hands. She doesn't regret them, but I think that in this economy it's a terrible idea to make yourself LESS desirable to an employer.

    Love a woman with tattoos, just make sure you design your own and get something meaningful.

    I have 3 tattoos, all of them reasonable small and all of them can easily be covered. Having said that however, If I had it over to do again I would not have gotten any of them. Really think it through before you get one:)

    I think tattoos are very cool! I love them! I've always wanted like 2 or 3....but, I've been too scared to get one. I have a phobia of needles. Plus, I have no idea what I would get..lol.

    A small one is fun....i have several left over from my 20s ( im 40) the only one I would not do again is the one on the back of my neck...too obvious sometimes when I would rather it not show....
    Go for it!

    Do your homework, seek other people's opinions, and wait a few days before you make a final decision. Also make sure you know what kind of after-care is required so that your skin can heal.

    somewhere you can hide. You don't want to limit your future because you have them and can't get a professional job. I have one on my ankle and I loved loved roses when I was in high school, not so much now.

    I've had mine about six months now. I still love it! It's my favorite quote done on my shoulder, so it's easy to hide in anything except a tank top, but easy to show off too! I don't regret it at all.
