    I love my tattoos. I do have a professional job though. Sometimes it is a little hard to hide them. I would keep that in mind.

    I have 8 tattoos and I don't regret any of them. Some I've designed myself and mean a lot to me. I have one that I got simply because it was done for free. Another one of them I let my tattoo guy just come up with something and I wasn't even sure what it was going to look like until it was done. Most of mine can be covered for work if necessary, but I don't hide them normally. As for how they'll look when I'm old? If I'm a hot enough grandma to show off the skin that's inked, then I don't think I'll have much to worry about. BAMF Grandma for the win.

    If you want it, you should dooooiiit.

    I have 2 and love them....got my first when I was forty!! One on my ankle is dedicated to my kids and I get a lot of compliments about it. My other one is on my hip and only my husband and I see it for now. My reward when I reach my goal weight is another one. make sure u choose a design or quote that means something to u and u will never regret it.

    I feel like tatoos have gotten a little overexposed. You know, it used to be just the bad boys, then it was the bad girls and now it's every damn person I see (admittedly, I live in a neighborhood populated by hipsters and dirtbags)

    I think they are a personal preference. If you want one, go for it. I personally said I'd never get one. Then I woke up one day and randomly decided I wanted one. I have 2 now. both of mine can be hidden or shown at my discretion. I think I'd like 1 more.

    Wondering where you guys who are saying that you can't get hired if you have tattoos? There are many professionals who have tattoos (not covered up) here where I live. In Canada. If you can't get a job BECAUSE of a tattoo that's discrimination. Or clearly you weren't qualified enough or weren't up to their standard. I know lawyers who have neck tattoos, drs who have tattoos on wrists. My friend who is an accountant has a sleeve tattoo and wears tank tops in the summer to her job.

    Remember tattoos do not make you look hard core to the point you are unemployable. It's all a matter of how you handle yourself.

    I have two tattoos: ying yang and winnie the pooh (I love pooh bear). Your tattoo is your choice. Why ask others what they think?

    i think theyre beautiful, but they need to be something really personal and meaningful to you. dont just get one on a whim! but also i dont think you should care what others think; the whole point of tattoos is really that they are tied to who YOU are and what you want :)

    I agree - I live in Toronto and my CEO loves my tattoos! :) I do have them in places that could be hidden - but I've never covered them up. If you don't like it - avert your damn eyes!

    Hell yeah! I love tattoos on both men and women. Very sexy, in my opinion. Just a warning... They CAN be addicting!

    Very true, I started with one on my belly. At the time I said I would never do it again because it hurt. I now have a total of 6, and thinking about a half sleeve. Tattos are very addictive. I love them....

    I love tattoos, and i dont agree with "you need to get something meaningful... something that has a very special meaning etc" because for me, finding something beautiful is meaning enough! i am getting a tattoo that means something to me, but i find tattoos just as beautiful even if they dont "mean" anything

    I say yes, absolutely. I have two. Just put some thought into it - don't get one on a whim.
