I think they're sexy!!0

I know this is sexist, but i think Tattoos on women are tacky. One tattoo on a man is okay. I know they are very popular for women, and I'll catch a lot of grief for my thoughts, but it's just my opinion.0

I say go for it, I had my 1st tattoo at the age of 23, I now have 10.... I had the last one for my 44th birthday in April. All my tattoo's symbol a change in my life, I have designed most off my own... If money allowed I would have more. All off mine can be hidden under clothing, so nobody has to know that I have them. Only do it if you want them and never get tattooed because someone asks you too.0

My opinion - Tattoos are ugly and look low class.0

I have none, which considering my past is a little weird. For some reason I like it that way. But it's a personal decision, most of my friends have quite a few.0

YESYESYESYES I LOVE TATOOS
but the thing is it doesnt matter what others think; if u need peoples approval then maybe should wait until your approval is all you need
i have one on my hip and im getting another soon on my back shoulder, i think theyre beautiful and unique and truly add to a person if its something significant to you 0 -
I think they can be tasteful....I have always wanted one but been too afraid to do it!0

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
I say who gives a you know what, what every one else thinks. Do what makes you happy! If you want a tattoo, go get one. Just saying0 -
I love them.. have 8 and want more0
-
Absolutely, but think about it before you do it. Don't just walk in somewhere and point to something on the wall and get it!
I have 10 myself and every single one has a memory attached to it. Don't worry about the naysayers... yes my body is a temple and I like to decorate it! What's it going to look like when I'm old? Well, I really don't think it's going to matter at that point and I'll have some awesome stories to tell the grandkids.) 0 -

Copy cat.0 -
Yes. but beware, they can be addicting. And - make sure you get something that is very special to you. Not some random design picked off the wall of tats.
I love all my tats and each one has a very sentimental meaning!!
I agree they are addicting lol i have 8 and want more but they are all able to be covered with clothes and they all have meaning 0 -
I personally don't think it's a yes or no question. It all has to do with what YOU want If you want one then absolutely go for it! It should have nothing to do with what other people think. Your idea sounds cute. Be careful though....they are addictive! I have 8 currently and already have a few more planned out that I definitely want to get! 0

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.
^^This^^
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.
hehehe, I waited 20 years to get mine. I've had it about 5 now, and I still love it. It's very meaningful to me, and in a spot that can be either covered or exposed, depending on what I want and the venue.0 -
I personally hate tattoos, I think they look awful. However, it's your body and your decision. There are 3 rules I think you should follow, though, if you decide to get one:
1) don't get a tattoo anywhere on your body that cannot be easily covered up. Like the wrist, face, neck, or upper chest area. Imagine going for a job interview wearing a blouse and skirt; don't get a tattoo anywhere that the interviewer would be able to see. Get one on your shoulder for example, then on days when you feel like showing it off, wear a tank top.
2) don't steal anyone else's design. Either design your own tattoo, have someone else design one for you, or pick one of the designs on display at the tattoo parlor that the tattooist has designed him/herself. Please don't google 'tattoos' and directly copy one that you find online. That's someone else's artwork, and they wouldn't want you to copy it, just like you wouldn't want someone to copy a painting that you'd made. By all means research other people's tattoos to get a general idea of what you want, and maybe incorporate small elements of other tattoos that you've found into your own design, but don't steal one. Make it your own, make it special. Give it some time and thought.
3) do not get anyone's name tattooed onto your body, ESPECIALLY a boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife. I shouldn't need to explain why. Laser tattoo removal surgery is expensive.0 -
Don't understand why so many people have a 'me too' attitude toward tattoos.
Yeah, at 65, I'm very much old school and think ANY ink is in poor taste.
Also, our local news covered a tattoo removal clinic this weekend. They are continuously busy.
To me, that indicates lots of people made mistakes when they were marked.
So .... I vote no.0 -
I like tattoos, but I dont have any right know.....I have a friend and he has like a few tattoos and I like a lot,makes him very damn good!!

I have two myself so I say go for it! Just do a lot of thinking to make sure its something you'll never think twice about and a place you'll never regret. Both of my tattoos mean a lot to me but are easily covered up if I want/need and things I will never regret.0
-
I have 2! Would be more if I could afford more. lol! I've tried several times over the summer to get my 3rd actually and the parlor we go to, well, let's just say the guy p*ssed me off and I won't be going there so I've been looking for another parlor. Be careful, they are addicting! lol!!0

Personally, I love tats! They are a great way to express yourself. Just be sure that it's something that you really want.0

My parents would cut me out of the will if I got a tattoo.0

My parents would cut me out of the will if I got a tattoo.
My mom told me if I got another she would cut me out of the will too; that was about 3 ago. If i'm out of the will, that's fine. I personally LOVE my tattoos and don't regret a single one.
And I couldn't give a f^ck less what other people think of them... it's my body,i'll do with it what I please. It's a form of self- expression. It's artwork - and if you don't like them- don't get them!
As for the person who said don't get them on the wrist b/c they aren't easily covered- Not true....there are these things called bracelets that work wonders if you want to cover a wrist tattoo- Long sleeves also work wonders (during the colder seasons) .
If my tattoos make me tacky - then so be it.0 -
I wanted a tattoo for 30 years - got my first at 46 - be sure you can live with it FOREVER. my first was small on my shoulder - rarely seen....my 2nd was a "tramp stamp" - again rarely seen - my favorite yet most painful is on my foot - want 2 more, possibly 3....know exactly what i want but need to do some homework on the shops - moved here 4 years ago and ant to be sure. Reputable - for sure - the three I had done were done at a shop that had been in existence 30 years - 2 original artists. Enjoy!!!0

A tattoo should have strong meaning and you need to be a strong soul in order to stand the constant commentary.0

I have 3 and want more!!! I love tats!! SEXY on men!!!!0
-
This isn't really something you can ask someone else. It's going to be your body you put that on and will be stuck with forever not someone elses. You really need to think about this. I have friends who regret there's and they have only had them a few years.
If you go for it, take your time in deciding and go for something that holds meaning to you. I have 6 so personally do love them, but still advise people to think about it. Its better to be a little slow on taking the plunge and knowing it's what you want rather than jumping in.0 -
Do it.. No regrets. Just make sure you get a good one :happy:0
-
Go for it! It's body art and it's your business. :flowerforyou:0

I have 2 tatts and looking at getting my 3rd. They are all EMS stuff. Make sure they mean something to you. My husband does not believe in tatts yet he has never had a problem with mine they are just not for him. My only one piece of advice is never put a name of a signifigant other on your body.0

Also Good tattoos are not cheap and cheap tattoos are not good...0
