    whenever anyone is about to get a tattoo say this. In 20 years from now, will it still have the same value to me as it does now. keep that in mind, because once you get one, your plan is to keep it for life. And once it is done, you may be able to add to it, but for the most part, what's done is done. so think of your 20 years from now self. Too many people regret what they have done... I have 5, one happens to be my girlfriends name on my left hand, very visible. I know that if we were to part ways, I will not regret it because she defined me to be a better man.

    Just wondering what you all think off tattoos on women ? Large tattoos especially.
    Im hoping to get a biggish one on the top of my thigh soon but I dont want to look unfeminine. What do you all think? Please feel free share any nice ink you have too ;)

    A tattoo is your personal choice only you should decide if you want it. I have 14 so slightly biased but just make sure you will still love it in 10 20 30 years cause it is there for life.

    Nice when you're young. Nasty when you're old.

    Not a fan. If you want a permanent reminder of a phase in your life, take a photo. But it seems I'm in the minority.

    And bear in mind when people say 'you'll regret being the only person in the old people's home with one' actually you'll probably be the odd one out if you don't have one LOL!!

    There is also a wide market now for tattoo cover make-up :) If we have time to pop on make-up in the morning then there is enough time to cover a visible one before work too :)

    This is what I used to do for work! this isnt as covered as usual but I use general make-up for a cover up!

    there is proper stuff available that completely conceals it though! Many people didnt even realise I had this tattoo :) x

    I obviously like them. That's my back. And this is my right leg...

    It goes from about 2 inches above my ankle halfway up my calf. It's decent-sized as well.

    It's a personal decision. Everyone has their own opinion and you'll hear plenty more if you choose to get it. :drinker:

    Sunbathing and using sunbeds can lead to ruined skin as well, so can unforseen accidents or surgery, none will have a perfect and blemish free body in their old age and everyone will have a certain something they regret. Plus lazer tattoo removal has advanced a lot in recent years, they may be less permanent in years to come.

    I think it definitely depends on the tattoo. Guys who I've dated/talked to were kinda 'eh I don't like them on girls blah blah' at first. Then I'd get a tattoo (cause it's my body not theirs or anyone else's, meaning mom too) and show them the product and they liked it and would joke about it. And my tattoos are on my upper back (above the bra, below the neck) one saying "Love" in cursive and my latest one with a quote from my favorite band "All is lost again, but I'm not giving in" around the band's symbol. I've gotten loads of compliments from women and a few from men saying it's 'cool'. Just make yours look good, own it, love it. Make it be what you want it to be and someone will definitely find your confidence and tattoo sexy as hell.

    I think it's definately a matter of finding something you are completely happy with and will be happy with when you look in the mirror a decade from now.. It took 5 years for me to completely find the right one that I wanted for me, to depict my 2 children and our one that passed...it was more a form of healing for me I think. Originally I wanted one with 2 butterflies and a chrysalis (for the one that never quite got it's wings) however was told that the chrysalis would look wrong by a tattooist.. have since found lots of ones that look completely fine if done well, but am glad that I have what I have and it's perfect for me. I got mine on my shoulder and upper back and clothing hides it well for my job as a nurse, however I am looking forward to being able to show it off when warmer weather comes. If you're happy with it then that's all that matters.

    Tried to post pics but they won't work sorry.. will try again tomorrow

    :) true. You wouldnt get discriminated for a birth mark, or a mole or damaged skin :) As long as it isnt offensive it should be ok I think. I had 3 jobs that accepted mine after saying there is NO EXCEPTIONS but i was told " theyre ok as theyre not all skulls and reapers n stuff"

    get the feeling you aren't getting a tattoo for YOU but to please others. i always thought people who permanently mark themselves in this way couldn't care less what others think..if in doubt, don't do it..or do it if peer pressure on this forum says you should.

    I think tattoos on women are sexy and colorful. It certainly is not a deal breaker either way.

    Hmmm a tattoo is a reflection of yourself and should always mean something to you - who cares what anyone thinks... just saying

    I just got my first tattoo just over 2 weeks ago, I had it done for me, no one else. In my opinion, if you get tatts done, you get them done for yourself, not to please anyone else, after all its your body.

    I'm very feminine and I have 16 tattoos. I have a quarter sleeve, a large tattoo on the back of my calf and then numerous smaller tattoos. As long as you have a good artist that you trust and will do what you're asking for without trying to modify it to their "style" of work or make it more masculine then you'll be fine! Plus, if it's on your thigh then it won't be showing all of the time. I say GO FOR IT! I love tattoos and think if they're done properly they are extremely sexy. :wink:

    I love tattoo's on anyone, but it's all about design, placement, and a good artist. Personally, I think thigh tattoos look trashy (unless you have tattoo's all over... it's really relative). But I'm also a big fan of being able to hide tattoos with clothing for various reasons.

    BUT, if it's what you want and absolutely where you want it, go for it! You should try to make yourself happy. :drinker:

    If you want to get a tattoo then get one, don´t mind other peoples opinion. This is your body and you have to live with it so don´t listen to what others think.
    I have seen many beautiful tattoos but I would never get one mainly because I get so bored with things quickly and a tattoo is too permanent for me to take the risk.

    I think it's a matter of personal taste. If you like them, have one (or more).

    I personally don't like tattoos on either sex, and the thought of wrinkly old men and women in future years with distorted, faded tattoos in old age makes me feel sick. That's one reason why I would never have one. Just sayin'

    Ive seen a lot of older people with this!!

    however, new inks are such an improvement and last much longer. Just think- a lot of people my age now have them so in the future, loads of older people, who will be my age then too, will have them- itll be a generational thing and no-one will be alone in it :)

    really? so, since there will be several people with tattoos that they regret, they can all regret together? seems kind of a silly way to justify getting tattoos

    Who said anything about regretting their ink? Some people get tattoos just to have them, for others there is a deep, personal meaning and relation with that tattoo. The latter don't regret their tattoos.

    Tattoos are beautiful.
    If it were acceptable in my workplace (hospital).
    Id have sleeves :) Just make sure it's something
    you want & that you have a fantastic tattoo artist.


    One girl I know locally. Super pretty girl.
    She had a giant sized tattoo on her thigh.
    A zombie tattoo and it wasnt the nicest looking thing.
    When she wore a mini, it looked a tad trashy, but she
    is far from trashy.

    I love a tat that's been done well. Take your time to pick the perfect one that you will be stuck with FOREVER. Then don't look back! Be sure to post pics!! :)

    PS - I don't have any tats anymore (had one removed). BUT I'd get a large macaw on my flank if hubby would go for it!!

    I actually think that would look great ... I'm getting my second next wednesday. I'm getting an angel done on my left shoulder with a portrait of my wife.
