    <--- Still have my other side to finish, but can't decide whether I want it symmetrical or asymmetrical curling over my hip.

    Personally, I am not a fan of them but I respect the person who wants to put a tatoo or two on their body. I also agree with vixx that if the person decides to put a tat on their body it must look professional and not cheap.

    On women I say no. The body is so beautiful with just plain skin. I think the same way about men but one or two on a guy isn't bad...though i'd still prefer none. Like someone else said...it's like graffiti that detracts from the art that is the human form. My husband has one and wants more...im hoping he won't get any...but if he does...it's not like it's a deal breaker or something...just not my preference. I don't have any but I've always had one tattoo that i go back and forth on wanting/not wanting. I think I would tire of it eventually though and wish I had my plain skin back lol.

    that's gorgeous! If I didn't have 'back curtains' from the weight loss I would totally extend mine down but as it stands I'm glad I kept it above the bra line so it's not part of the 'drapes' I'm currently sporting.

    I think it All depends on the tattoo and the artwork. Some I just look at and know they have to regret it.

    I think it really is all about the art work and if it means something more than just a fleeting feeling. I have tattoos, not many and they aren't covering up a large portion of my body. Although that too I would do as long as each one has a deep meaning but I haven't done that because I am very picky and just can't decide what I want beyond what I already have. I have a quote that means the world to me, my mother has had cancer 3 times the most recent one being 2 years ago this July and each time I was scared I was going to lose her especially her second time around when I was just 13. her first was right after I was born. I developed an anxiety of losing her and getting cancer myself and the quote in all respects serves two purposes. 1) to not fear life or death and 2) the quote is my mother's strength personified. I don't think that will ever be a fleeting feeling or emotion. The quote says, "she is clothed in strength and dignity and she laughs without fear of the future". It serves as a reminder for me to just let life be and have a light heart. My other very important one is of a dove colored in pink and white to match an Arizona sunset (where I am from) and it says faith above it.

    HOT! I especially like script ones. I want to get an upper arm one in red script that says "enough". Both because I was married to someone who hit me:angry::explode: :grumble: ; and I am good enough, smart enough, pretty enough... just the way I am.:love: Although, I will be glad to get healthier.

    Depends. The guy who got his McD receipt inked on an arm has a taste that doesn't quite correspond to mine. But Freyja Veda and her boob thing tattoos are epic, even though I'm into men; she's hot.

    I'm personally not a fan of tattoos, but that doesn't mean they aren't hot. Now I've seen some beautiful work on some people & I've also seen some people who's tattoo's look like they let someone scribble on them with a pen!

    Definitely not a deal breaker for me since I have one. They can be hot, it just depends. I've seen some beautiful ink, and I've seen some that looked like crudely done, faded jail-house work and I was told that is in fact, what it was. :/

    I'm in the healthcare field and work with the elderly every day. Very rare to see older people with tattoos. Could be different generations or people that have tats tend to not live as long. That being said, ...I have 6 :)

    Hot as long as it is a well done tat and the person looks after themselves

    I like them. I only have one, because I got it when I was 18, and I was worried I'd get addicted if I continued getting them at that age. Now that I'm 23, I'm interested in getting a few more. I would never do a sleeve or even partial sleeve, not because I don't like them, but for three reasons:

    A. I have no clue what I'd want (design/pattern/images)
    B. I don't think I could pull off sleeves
    C. career limitations

    As to the last point, I'm sick of piercings and tats being taboo in workplaces. My boyfriend is a high school teacher, he wants to get sleeves, but if he does he won't be able to wear short-sleeved shirts to work, ever. He teaches at an inner-city school, half of his students already have face tattoos.

    Plus I would't be working with kids, I'd be working in either a professional office-type environment, a doctor's office, or on the street doing research in city neighborhoods. Tattoos shouldn't limit me in any of those places, but they would if I were job-hunting with sleeves.

    I agree with you on that. My husband has a funny story about when he was hired. He has a sleeve, but wore a suit when he was interviewed for a state government position. After he was hired, and after his 90-day probationary period, he wore short sleeves for the first time. His boss admitted that if she saw that during the interview, she wouldn't have hired him, even though she also admitted that he's one of the best workers she's ever had.

    Both myself and my husband were lucky and our tattoos never affected our professional careers. I work for a doctor and I have a few tattoos that you can see when I wear certain clothes or flats. My boss has even asked me questions about them and doesn't mind them at all. My husband has a sleeve and works for the government and himself and quite a few people he works with all have visible tattoos. It's too bad tattoos are still so taboo for lots of employers

    I think the right tattoo on a woman is just sexy as can be

    I love them, just got my 6th one a couple weeks ago (well, I guess that would be my 7th since I have a beautiful coverup).

    My husband doesn't have any b/c he's nervous about the pain mostly. It's no dealbreaker for me, in fact, I don't think I ever dated a guy with tats. I tell him he's sexy as hell if he got one, and he's sexy as hell if he doesn't get one. Meanwhile, he LOVES mine.

    Mine are pretty easily covered up with clothes too. Mostly on the legs, foot, back, and back of the neck. Every single one means something, even the 3rd one I had covered up- I only did that because the artwork was terrible. Last time I ever did flash off the wall (I was young and stupid, ok?). I was so mad- I showed my foot to a different artist doing my coverup a few years later, and they had the same flash art. It was supposed to be a shooting star with purples and blues and no stardust, and it looked like a yellow and blue snake with orange stardust around the top. UGH. At least now I have a gorgeous purple flower piece. Only slight regret is that I wish I had gotten my first one bigger to see the detail better, but I was so nervous about getting it that I didn't want to be too crazy. Dumb, but I still love it. Just got it touched up last year.

    If they're great artwork and well placed they can look cool, but I've never met an attractive person I thought was MORE attractive simply because they have tattoos.

    completely agree with this. people can pull them off, and some look very cool, but i've never really seen it as an improvement on somones appearance.

    i used to dispise facial piercings, but some do look good on certain girls. not that you asked lol
