    Go for it! Tattoos are great! I would never get my done at an expo though unless you know who is going to be there and who you want to do it. Find a artist that does work you like and understands what you want.

    I have a few and I plan to get more! :)

    Good luck!

    Love them. I have 5 two of which are on my inner arms so they are very visible. I work at a law firm and they are totally okay with. So much okay with it that the attorneys I work for banded together to get me a gift certificate to finish one of my tattoos for my birthday.

    So long as it's meaningful to you and you are okay with it and are in a place in your life where you will never regret it or want it removed, then I say go for it.

    Big fan! The hubs has lots. I'm getting three new ones soon. A teal ribbon for my mom who passed away from ovarian cancer, an angel that The Boy drew when he was about that I adore, and a running tattoo that I haven't quited fleshed out the details on. Pun intended.

    I have 9 (and counting) myself, so I say go for it if it's something you want to do.

    Love tattoos but think that whatever you get should always have meaning. Not big on random cartoons and getting a tat just because everyone else has the same one.

    Be careful choosing an artist and art work. I just spent 7 hours getting tattooed getting a cover up when some guy I either pissed in his corn flakes or was having a bad day changed my original drawing without my permission and I couldn't see because it was on my back.

    The cover up and the guy I chose to do it? Totally kicks *kitten*. I'm probably turning it into a back piece

    Tattoos are awesome! Do what makes you happy!
    I agree with seamonkey, definitely make sure to get a real artist and not a tattoo technician. :P
    I learned the hard way that not all tattooers are artists. The one who tatted a tiny heart on my ankle did a really mediocre job and now I'll have to find a real artist to get it re-done.

    This will not be a popular response. I believe that many tattoos are tacky, unattractive, and poorly thought out. In 20 years or less, many folks are going to suffer from Tattooers' Remorse. I would make sure to have it done in a spot that can be covered because tattoos violate the dress codes of many companies. As for tattoos being the mark of an original person, it's not ground-breaking, iconoclastic, or defiant to do something that everyone else is doing. It's conformist.

    If you select a foreign phrase, make sure a native speaker of the language confirms that it has been correctly rendered.

    May you pick a nice one.

    Make sure it is well thought out and has personal meaning to YOU because it will be there forever. Laser removal hurts worse than tattoos and is costly so make sure this is what you want. And do not think so much about what other people will think...if it has meaning to YOU that is all that matters. I have 6 and want more. A couple are are so personal people have to ask..what does that mean? And I try to explain but yeah...they don't get it.

    It isn't conformist to get a tattoo. It may be to get one in the exact same spot of the exact same thing as someone else...so don't do that.

    As for violating dress codes, many tattoos can be hidden. And I feel society is becoming more open minded about them. I mean someone works for a lawyer...can't get more corporal than that.

    Most of my tattoos are from random places when I was travelling or on vacation somewhere. And, all of them have symbolic meaning to me as well as a back story. So, my opinion is just do whatever you want. One life. Live it.
