    I have a full sleeve, both calves tattooed, and various other ones. :) I don't regret any. I've gotten a few reworked by another artist, but no regret. I love them.

    I don't have any significant reason to get tatted... I'd like one, but I don't want to put anything. I have a couple friends that are fully covered, and I don't care. It's your decision and your body do what you want. Pretty much what he looks like minus the stache, lol.

    I have two (Eye of Horus and a Gandhi quote, "There are no goodbyes", as a memorial for my late-fiance), with plans for two more down the road.

    My "rules" for tattoes are simple:
    1. No names, my uncle still regrets the "Dolly" tattoo he got at 17, especially since he hasn't been with or seen "Dolly" in the 43 years since then, lol.
    2. Placement if you have or hope to have a professional job is important. Mine are easily hidden by work clothes and no where that would stretch with weight fluxuations.
    3. Only get something if you think about it for a long time, never waiver and is something you won't be embarassed to have when you're 60.

    I am probably a bit older than most of you. I have seen what tats look like when you start sagging and the skin stretching. It is not pretty. As long as you understand that or if you don't plan on getting old,then go for it. I have to say that I never met a 70 something that says....Hey wanna see my tat? Damn I wish I had more. Just my observations....YMMV.

    HOT, but NOT on the face or neck.
    I LOVE my neck tattoos. I always get tons of compliments on them :)

    I met a lady a few months ago who just got her arms both covered at age 80. They are gorgeous. I admire her SOOO much for doing that :) She's a very proud woman, and shows them off all the time.

    I have 8 but no one would even know it because they are places like my hip, and rib cage, ect...I want 4 more as of right now! Who cares about other peoples opinions on them...If you want some, get them! No, you know what? Even if you don't want them, you should get them because I love them!!! :bigsmile:

    This is one of mine.

    I have plans for more.

    I'd get that fixed. There's no depth and the shadowing is weak on it. Over all it looks kind of weak. That's just my input on it.

    i doubt he wanted your opinion

    I have 4, and about 6 more planned. I love them and think they are sexy as hell on both men and women. But, it's a very personal choice and to each his own.

    (One small note: 's is possessive....it should be "Tats") :smile:

    I don't care what one person puts on there body as it does not affect me whatsoever. However, I think tattoos are most beautiful on women.

    **As more of a form of moving artwork**

    I'm kind of indifferent. If people want to get them, more power to them, but they're not for me. While there are people and/or events in my liife that are extremely significant, to try to boil each down to some representative symbol would be impossible.

    YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ok you found 3, I am not impressed. If you want a real response go to your local senior center. There you will find dozens of us OFs that believe as I do. 10 to 15 years from now the great medical trend will be laser tat removal.

    I have 36 or 37 tattoos and have lost count but I think they are beautiful and to each it's own! I surely don't think you have to be thin for your tattoos to look better on you! LOL @ that for real!!

    It is your body your decision...I have 2 and I love one and dislike the other! So just be very sure you know what you want and know the artists work!

    I have 5 but have been tattooed 9 times. I've had existing ones added to or touched up. I'm working on a big back piece right now that will hopefully be finished next week.

    I like them. I have two. My first was a thin, black tribal armband. Second is a quote on my ribs.
    I work at a bank and visable tattoos are against the dress code, but mine are fairly easy to hide.

    by 2014 that is going to be illegal :) I cant wait.

    Why would it be illegal? Tattoos are a choice. When you get one, you should put careful consideration into where you're putting them. I didn't tattoo my wrists thinking that it would never stop me from getting a job or that I wouldn't have to cover them up. It's all a part of the responsibility of having a tattoo. Employers shouldn't make judgments off your tattoos on what kind of person you are, but if it's dress code to cover them or to not have them visible, that's up to the people that sign your paycheck. Not the government.


    because people like me are trying to pass a law that says places of employment CANNOT discriminate against personmal appearances like tattoos and peircings or any body modifications.

    I have 20 very visible tattoos and I do not regret them nor will I ever regret them!! Your life, your body, your choice! It's sad how people discriminate against people with ink but their loss for not getting to know us as people before they judge. But I'm used to it, especially with a 2 year old daughter. The looks and comments i get are ridiculous but others peoples opinions don't bother me. I didn't get my tattoos for anyone but myself. And all those people who argue about how they will look when we're older.....who really cares?!?!? If you don't like them, stfu and keep it moving!! :)

    I personally love tattoos. (I have 4. Two on my wrists, one on my ribs and one on my shoulder) People who try to tell you not to get tattoos are dumb. It's your body... DO AS YOU WISH!
