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

    Well said :flowerforyou:

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

    And really think about it! Is this something you really want forever? I have tattoos and love them. They all mean something & were all drawn especially for ME. First you need to pick an artist who's style you like. Even ask different artists to draw something up for you. Don't rush

    I do not have any and don't plan on it. It is fine for someone else:happy: I like the colored ones when they are new, but after a while they fade and look not so nice.

    My x-sister-in-law had some which I call very meaningless. At her sons wedding she had on a very elegant strapless low backed dress and all I could focus on were her "Mickey Mouse" tats, a very large one on her back shoulder and a very large one on the side of her leg. MICKEY MOUSE REALLY? they were about 12 inches in length.

    I don't get it, did she go to a shop and go "hmmm I want a tat, hmm which one do it want, Oh how about MICKEY MOUSE:noway: :noway: Oh and she was in her fifties when she got them. So I really don't get the Mickey Mouse.

    I don't have any personally - Not sure why but I have never seen anything that really made me say ' That's IT, that IS the ONE!!' and that is what I am waiting for and once I do I may end up getting one as a reward for weight loss. I LOVE them on men & women -:heart: They are very sensual and sexy to me. Love 'em!! GO FOR IT!!!:heart:

    I think that tattoos are great as long as one isn't 40%+ covered in them.

    I waited until I was 43 for my first tattoo. I chose my bicep because it can be hidden with short sleeves if need be and I can see it and enjoy it on days when I wear a sleeveless top. I liked it so much I did the other arm a month later. My tattoos have special meanings to me and nobody else. I had an idea and had the guy draw up a sketch of my idea. Turned out wonderful. I went to a few shops before I felt comfortable and found a guy with the right artistic skills that I was looking for. If they aren't willing to draw up a sketch or show you a portfolio of their work...RUN!!!

    I am 34 got mine at 25. I have 5.. three of them are with my children's names. Though I loved the tattoos at the time.. I wish I would have not gotten them. If you do I would make it something special and unique! Just my opinion though! You will have it forever :)

    I have two relatively small ones on my ankles. I find I want more now though but I don't want to become one of those "girls with tattoos." I couldn't pull off the Kat Von D or Bif Naked kind of aura lol Plus I don't really like them on guys so I think if I had a bunch finding a guy with none of his own that would like a girl with them would be tricky. But definitely go for it if you're sure of what you want. I don't regret mine :)

    I've seen tattoos that look great and others that make you want to give your head a shake.

    People have been decorating their bodies for thousands of years. I don't have any but if it's something meaningful to you done by a good artist go for it.

    Love that site - It definitely shows you that you really need to think about what you are getting as a tattoo and what the meaning is for you...

    Tats are a non-issue for me, unless they are on the face. My husband has a big black star on his face that he tattooed on himself, in a moment of inebriated idiocy. We are trying to get it removed, but it makes it difficult to get a job with that on there.

    If it's special and has meaning, go for it. Don't do it for relationship reasons, though.

    I have one on my back and don't regret it. I would like to have more but my OH does not agree :-( Smallish ones are best and in discreet places. Try and find a reputable place to get one, I asked around my friends until a girlfriend gave me the name of a place she'd been to that was hygenic.

    I have 6 and still plan to have more. I love all of them and have never regretted getting them. My mum always says to me 'But what about when you're 80? How are you going to look and feel about them then?'

    WHO CARES??? ILL BE 80, POSSIBLY A BIT MAD AND DEFINITELY THROWING CATS AT THE POSTMAN.

    But no, seriously, they are a very personal thing, if you get one that has a deep meaning to you then you will love it forever. It doesnt matter what anyone else thinks, its YOUR body to decorate as you see fit :flowerforyou:
