    I'm naked too. I mean... I don't have any either. :tongue:

    I was going to get one until I realized everyone had one. Quickest way to change my mind. My friend has the most beautiful tattoo ever, so I just admire hers.

    oh just do it! if your freaked out by regretting it later just get it in a spot that is easily covered. but definately pick something that represents you.... i have six so far individually but four of them are going to be all in one big upperback piece. slowly working on it. planning on adding to it as one of my weight loss goals!

    Get that full-back mural of Justin Bieber and Michael Jackson that you've always wanted.

    Then go shirtless at a Slayer concert.

    I didn't either until 2 weeks ago. :) I decided to have a tattoo in memory of my grandmother who passed in 2010. I thought about it and looked for months before narrowing it down to a few I liked. I got a silhouette of a hummingbird on my arm and once it was on, I wasn't sure if I loved it. Yesterday I went to a friend of mine who adjusted it. He made the beak longer and added flowers. Now, I am so much happier.

    Here's a before and after:

    Don't get a tattoo just for the sake of getting a tattoo. Get one that's going to mean something so you don't regret it later

    I don't have any either, but I'm a huge gamer nerd, and I'm sure if I got one it would be something related, and I would regret it when I'm 70 lol

    Wait, you stole that from my answer to the "what is your dream reward for reaching your goal" thread!

    If you do get one, make sure you get one you won't regret, like this awesome one.

    Some tats are amazing, but most are a gaudy blot on what was once smooth and natural (beautiful) skin. They are not for me. The natural beauty of skin trumps ink. And there is always the chance the tattoo artist can't spell and you walk out with an elaborate winged creature clothed in flowing black robes holding a scythe and having a skull for a head, and the name emblazoned on your chest is "ANGLE OF DEATH." Forever.

    No self portrait as in he took a photo of each of our kids at age 4 months professional photos and had that photo tattooed on his arm (face shots and there name under) and on each arm

    Me neither but my hubby has 9. 4 of them self portraits of our kiddos which I love but I am a total baby when it comes to getting 1 and so have chickened out every time had 4 kids but too scared of getting a tat. lol
    wait. self portraits imply that the kids drew them? Is that right? you probably won't even look at this thread again and I will always wonder:huh:

    Tatt-less. It's the new WEIRD! I feel so 'edgy' and 'street.'

    I want one that is a cross, that has a banner draped over it with the tails saying FROG's PUSH (which stands for Fully Rely On God, and Pray Until Something Happens), on my left shoulder blade (so its behind my heart) but I'm a chicken

    I knew a guy who had two demons tatooed on his forearms. . He was a computer programmer (!). . Anyway. . I just had an image of him trying to explain that to St. Peter. .

    We have a rule about tattoos in our house (for those who don't already have one): Think about something you want and keep that idea in your head for one year. If you still like that idea one year later - go get it.

    This!! In my case, i had the image as the background on my computer screeen for something like 4 years before I got my tat. I LOVE it. i've also used it as my avatar on many message board over the years. This way you don't wind up like the lady I met at work yesterday with the word Co*k in caligraphy with flowers around it on yor arm *headdesk*

    I have 3, my next one will be a reward for reaching my goal weight. It used to be a reward for paying off all my debts, but by the time i did that I was fat - so new goal set.

    If you're not feeling it don't do it though. having no tats is not strange at all.

    As to the pain... Have you ever had anything waxed? I find a Bikini wax to be FAR FAR more painful then any of my tats.

    i recently got my first tattoo after a long time of wanting one... this was probably prompted by my recent venture back into my training... wanted to be able to show it off, so i figured i gotta get fit...

    upper arm is not a bad place to get a first tat... was pretty smooth...

    not sure how to post a pic here, or i'd post it up for ya...
