nothing's worse than a meaningless tattoo!
I think lots of things are worse than a meaningless tattoo.
Cancer.
Genocide.
starving children in Africa/China/Somalia/youname it0 -
Personally I dont have a problem with tatts - I have 2 of them and once I lose this weight I plan on getting another one. My only advice to you is that if you are going to get one, make sure it is something that has meaning to you, that way you dont regret it later

If you have long hair, have you thought about the back of your neck? Easy to hide with your hair and just put your hair up when you feel like showing it off!0

Poo poo tattoo...me no likey. Hurt so bad0

I have tattoos. To me they should mean something to you. As an example my next tattoos will be 1 to represent my mom and her fight with cancer and 1 for my children.0

It is extremely up to you.
Most of my family, including parents have tattoos.. I personally don't have any,
however there's people who totally rock them.
Like some people mentioned before,
make sure it is something meaningful, and if it is a design made for you, even better
bc it will be unique.
Please, get something you will like and not regret as you get older.
Go to a shop not just a random person, or else you'd get a low quality tattoo
that will probably fade very soon and disappoint you.
Good luck 0 -
I have 2, one a homsa (meaing i'm blessed & protected) on the back of my neck, i got it for my 35th bday. this year on my 36th I got a symbol that means hakuna matata (no worries) on my ankle. They are both so "me". I have no regrets. I got them sober, by myself, for me. I didn't get a bandwagon tattoo, i got something for me, I love them both. Think of your favorite thing....if there is any doubt, don't do it. It wasn't painful, irritating, but I was far from miserable.0

They're so permanent.
Excellent artwork should last a long time. Like the Sistine Chapel, or the Mona Lisa.
it's your skin. Worrying what other people think is futile.0 -
I have one and would get another in a heart beat!0

I just got my 6th on Saturday. All of mine have a personal meaning to me and I would suggest the same. Getting some random tattoo that has no personal meaning just makes no sense to me. But go for it!0

Tattoos are a personal preference! I have 2 small tattoos and I love both of them but they both have special meaning. I have 4 puppy paws on my ankle (hurt like hell) for my 4 baby dogs and then i have 2 hearts on my wrist for my mom... I would suggest you take your time, research what you want, even draw it on and leave it for a day or two and make sure its EXACTLY what you want and where you want it....... if so, then go for it. Good luck!0

I love tattoos. I have 4 myself and I am planning on getting more. Tattoos are great. But what matters is your thoughts. If it's what you want to do and it has meaning to you, go for it.0

I love tats, especially discrete ones. I would honestly never got something that didn't mean a lot to me. I also wouldn't get one that's on my arms/neck, etc for employment purposes.0
-
absolutely yes ,like johnny depp said , my body is my journal and my tattoos my story !!
you should not worry about what other people think about it , they are personal. if you like them go for it, i have 2 ( one is a whole half sleeve) and i dont regret a single ink drop of them0 -
I have tattoos, but I think it's totally personal preference. Define yourself, don't let others define you! If you think you might like a tattoo, then don't worry about what others think! Do it for yourself. I think your tattoo idea sounds great! If you choose to get it then I hope you love it! 0
-
Yes, yes, and double yes. I have 7 and and planing on finishing my sleeve and moving onto a chest piece. Just do it, no regrets!0

I love tattoos! I have 4 myself. It's all a matter of personal opinion. I love the fact that each tattoo I have has a story or significance to me. That's what a tattoo is - a reflection of who you are, and they tell stories about times of your life.0
-
Absolutely - go for it. Your body is your canvas.0
-
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!
^^This for sure! I have two, and am in the process of designing a third one. Make sure as well that it is somewhere that it can be easily covered. Sadly, a lot of employers will discriminate against you if you have a visible tattoo, regardless of how tasteful it is. Do your research as well on local artists, and go in and meet them first. If you don't like their vibe, don't go there.0 -
I have many and love all of them, even the ones I got when I was young and didn't quite think it through. They are all part of me...but the fact that you are unsure enough to ask us on MFP mean you probably need to mull it over a little more. When you are 100% sure and have the image ready you should go for it.0

I have three, one on each ankle and one on my inner wrist. Planning on getting another in a couple of months. Love them! I don't think it's "taboo" for women to get inked like it was years ago...0
-
Yes! I have 3!! As w/ previous comments...go to a reputable artist! u dont want some amature practicing on u! and make sure its where u want it and what u really want! it has to have some kind of a meaning to u and think in the future. is this really what i want and where i want it!
just an example...my first one was at 16! my mom made sure its what i wanted, but asked me several times "are u sure thats where you want it!?" "think of how u dress and when you get a good job!!" of course....i was dead set!!! fast forward.....I'm 28 now....i still love what my tat is...but i Hate where it is.....on my right leg, above my ankle to the side...is a huge killer whale!
i think im pretty, i love dresses and skirts, and i have a very sophisticated style......a killer whale on an attractive woman in a sexy dress.....just isnt sexy or attractive!!!
so just think long and hard!!!
hope u make some great choices and good luck! 0 -
they can be good or bad...
i have 12 and like them all but other people might (probably do) hate them
just make sure you are 100% sure, they are for life..0 -
Getting my second one next week Both represent recovering from depression so they're very meaningful to me. 0

Skin, color, size, wtf ever your concern is none of mine.
I love ink & tons of it!!! Nothing more sexy than a babe with beautiful ink &strong reasons why she's been under the needle. Visit the islands &you'll see bombshells pulling off the most SICK a55 pieces, EVER.0 -

I love to see women rocking a sleeve of tattoo's...maybe because i'd never have the guts to do it myself :,)
On men the more ink the better, Arms, back, chest, stomach, neck... all awesome and beautiful.0 -
If you have to ask anyone if you should get a tattoo, then you're not ready for it.0
