    No tattoos here. I've considered it, but I just don't know if there is one I'd want to live with for the rest of my life.

    Don't have any and have no plans to get tattoos in the future. When I notice a young person with tattoos all over their body, I often wonder about their future. I think hiring managers will more likely hire someone without tattoos then a person with one climbing on their neck.

    None. I used to want some, but don't anymore.

    I also develop keloid scars very easily, seems whenever my skin is cut. Can you imagine?

    I was really close to getting one until I found out how much it would have costed. Seriously, it was only one color and a few inches tall and wide. NO THANKS! I'll spend those dollars on something else.

    I don't have any. I am afraid that I would change my mind and want something else. :)

    No tattoos and no piercings.

    I have really sensitive skin, no need to tick it off.

    None here. Don't want any identifying marks for when I become an assassin.

    I don't... not because I don't like it... but because I don't know if I could live with something so permenant on my body...

    None here either, I figure I have enough scars that I really don't need anything else.

    No tattoos on me, and none will ever be on me, thank you. I rarely find them to be attractive. Tastes change over time, and besides, who wants to see me with a "long-stemmed rose" on my boob that was one a rosebud, when I'm in my 90s? Ew!! Yup...not going there.

    Now my son has a tattoo to remind him of the time he spent in the Army in Iraq. My daughter in law has a very tiny musical note tattooed at the base of her hairline on her neck, which only shows if she puts her hair up. She's a double music major and music is her life. I can see why both of them chose to mark their bodies in places that can be covered when needed.

    My tastes change so much as I get older. I'm afraid I would hate it after 5 years or so. The only thing that I have consistently liked for 20 years is Cap'n Crunch Peanut Butter Cereal and I have considered having the Cap'n on my *kitten* but I think that might be a little over the top.

    Good tattoos aren't cheap, and cheap tattoos aren't good.

    Nope.. none here. Being a musician with no tats puts me in the minority. Its not something I really want to spend my $$ on.

    I have one in mind just not sure where to put it. It is a heart with angel wings in memory of my son who lost his battle to a congenital heart defect. (for those unfamiliar it means being born with a heart defect.)

    In the process of getting my one tattoo removed. Remember folks, no matter how much you really and truly love someone forever no matter what, it's always a good idea to hedge your bets and find a more tasteful and less permanent way to express your commitment than a relationship tattoo!

    Tattoos can be nice, and they can be too much. For me, it's not my thing, so I don't have any. I have considered them, but as I got older, I realized that something permanent on my body is too much of a commitment when my interests always change.

    This fits me to a tee! I've thought about something small and hidden from everyone except my hubby... but then again, I'd rather not mar up what I've got.

    None here. I'll never willingly get one. Why would I? I'm not a biker, been in prison,or perform in a punk band. I think if you want to get tattoos, you should have the lifestyle that goes with it. If I were to get one, it would be nothing but posing since I'm not some sort of hard, edgy character in any way.

    I also personally don't want to deface my own skin, nor do I want to follow the crowd. Tattoos are oh so trendy right now and that makes me want to get one even less, if that's possible.

    I thought about getting one, but couldn't think of anything that I could guarantee myself I would like years down the road. That and the cost made me decide not to.

    If I could get a tattoo that would only last 5-10 years then I probably would do it. I just know that if I got one that there would be a time that I regretted. There are a few things that I would like to get though. I am a huge Formula 1 and Ferrari fan so the prancing horse would be pretty cool. I also thought about getting my family crest. I'm pretty sure that I will never get a tattoo though.

    I don't have any and don't ever plan on getting one. Just personal preference.

    Nope, none on me; although, I have nothing against them. When I was younger and in the service, the specific assignment I had precluded me getting one then and after I was out of the service, it never seemed the thing to do. Now I on up in age and somehow I have lived this long without any ink, so I can probably go on without.

    I must admit that I find some of the ink I have seen quite nice, but I have also seen lots of things that makes me wonder, "What was he (or she) thinking?"

    Quoted for truth. Being unmarked and unscarred is the new full sleeves.

    No tatoos here but I am curious about the stories behind some of them, I will randomly ask someone what it's for - it's interesting to me - and no one's been offended so far :)
