Tattoo free for me

I have tattoos. They have deep personal meaning to me. I got my first one when I beat thyroid cancer, and the second one to commemorate realizing my dream of becoming a mom despite years of infertility. They're hidden on my body because they're just for me, to remind me of these milestones. So I guess I'm not unique

I was diagnosed with bone cancer in my knee ,and thank God in heaven and prayers.The tumor was removed.
I didn't say people that have tattoos are bad .I'm saying it's unique not to have any tattoos, because everyone is getting them.0 -
No tattoos here either and not planning on any. Just not my thing.0

Do you notice tattooed people get offended when you say you don't want any tattoos? Just because everyone else is doing something doesn't mean I want to do it too0 -
I am currently tattoo free. However, I had a good friend who owns several tattoo shops and he is a very talented artist. He came up with an original piece of art just for me. It was a guitar morphed into a sailboat, with some of my favorite books for sails and an engineers compass as the rudder, crewed by skogs (from a fav childrens book). It was beautiful, but with one issue, he used an acoustic guitar, and I play electric, I asked him to change it, but he said it wouldn't float with an electric, so it had to be acoustic. He was adamant, as some artists can be when it comes to their work. So I remain ink free.0

Do you often have that conversation with tattooed people?
FTR, not offended, just sharing my story.0 -
I've seen some beautiful artwork and wellll not so beautiful. don't think Ive ever had anyone question why I didn't want ink. Probably an age thing. In my younger years, tats were something for those with rough edges. Not the case anymore.debsdoingthis wrote: »No tattoos here either and not planning on any. Just not my thing.

Penn Gillette recently said that having a Tattoo used to mean you were on the edge and a bad *kitten*. Now it just means you have been to the mall.0

I don't think you have any idea what you are talking about. Paint us all into a corner much? I don't give two craps about what you do or don't do, but don't tell me how I act. You are small minded, lady.
^^^ This!
I could give a *kitten* if you have tattoos
I could give a *kitten* if you don't
Who cares!?0 -

I get offended when people tell me im offended for getting offended when im not offended that someone thinks its offensive.... oh and btw....
According to researchers from the University of Alabama, getting a bunch of tattoos is a lot like working out. When you first start, your body is weakened by the new stress. At the gym, this means sore muscles. For tattooing, the process often leaves you feeling generally exhausted because your body is wondering why you injected a foreign contaminant deep into your skin.
As it turns out, yes. The researchers were able to verify this by heading out to a local tattoo shop and recruiting volunteers for a study that examined how many tattoos a person had and how long each tattooing session was. With this data, they then analysed blood samples to gauge the participants' levels of immunoglobulin A, which is an antibody, and cortisol, a stress hormone.
The team found that people who were getting their very first tattoo had a large drop in immunoglobulin A thanks to rising cortisol levels. As for those who had been tattooed many times before, immunoglobulin A levels decreased only a tiny bit, which, according to the team, suggests that the body is strengthening its immunological response.0 -
