Do you have a tattoo?

[savafan]

I made this deal with my girlfriend that when we both can afford it we'll go and get a tattoo together. I really have no idea what I'd get. I have some ideas, and she seems to thing I should go with an armband, but I'm polling people who have tattoos to see what they've had done, or what tattoos they've seen that look pretty cool.

My ideas would be to get my family crest or family symbol done, or the Punisher symbol. Something like that, but I'm not 100% sure what I like.

Oh good a chance to use one of my favorite lines.

If I had a single rose tattooed on my butt when I was young and firm, it would be an entire bouquet by now.

Just a couple things to consider when getting one. Put it someplace where it can be covered up if you want to go on a really important job interview. And get something that will look okay when it sags. Cause it will sag.

I bought a Reds logo temporary tattoo at the Party Source once. I used one or two and gave the other two to my niece and nephew last summer. Boy, they loved them. But any permanant ones? Not on this bod. Not that I disapprove of them but I just never felt the need to get one.

I predict that tattoo removal will be a growth industry for the next two decades.

Dude, that's a prediction that's pretty much a given. Cosmetic surgeons are already reporting an over 40% increase in tattoo removals in that last two years.

No way, no how will I ever get a tattoo. Can't stand the thought of having something permanent there. And even if you do get it "removed", there are still very obvious signs of the tattoo that exist because the whole thing can't be erased. Yikes.

Yes.

I have Milo (from the Descendents) behind my left ear and the Super Mario Brothers "1-Up" mushroom.... somewhere else.

One of my sisters has a tattoo - don't know about the other two. Anyhoo, it's a sort of "barbwire" design that only goes around 2/3rds of her left bicep (she couldn't stand the pain). My Dad, even tho' he was in the Navy for 20 years, never got a tattoo. I ask him why once and his reply was that he didn't need to advertise - IMO there were probably other reasons like pain and infection - but it was a interesting take.

I also agree with Creek about her points - tho' tattoos are becoming more commonplace, it is still looked upon as a fashion no-no. I'd also be vary because your taking this on with a girlfriend. If, if you break up will this tattoo be a reminder of your love for her and how will other women feel about it? I personally wouldn't care but some girlfriends (and for women that have a tattoo done with a certain boyfriend, new boyfriends) have an issue with it.

I have a tattoo of a Marine bulldog on my upper left thigh. When I was in high school me and my buddies thought it would be cool to go get a tattoo one night our senior year. They all had ideas and pre-drawn pictures of what they wanted. Me? I was just clueless, so I picked it out when we went. I don't really ever look at it anymore. My 5 year old likes it, though. He thinks it makes me tough. :MandJ:

Has anyone ever seen an old person with a good looking tattoo? They always ended up all blurred, you can't read the writing, not good. Personally I've never cared for them, to me they're just clutter. I've really grown tired of the design on the small of the back that every girl and her sister has, it's become so cliche.

I have a tattoo, and I love it. Got it about 9 years ago. It's of a sun, and inside the circle of the sun is a moon and stars. It's on my umm ... chest. Pretty much only shows if I wear a bathing suit or a shirt that is extremely low-cut. (And just so Creek doesn't worry, I'll say it's high enough up that it's not going to really sag. )

I've been ready for years to get another one, but haven't got around to it yet. I know exactly what I want (involves more moons and stars, because I am fascinated with the moon), but I'm not sure where to put it on my body. I'm thinking the base of my neck/top of my back area.

How I decided to get my first tattoo: In college, we bought a bunch of temporary tattoos for a party we were going to. I put one on my chest, loved it, and decided to go get a real one. The next day, I went back to the store and bought another temporary tattoo, took it to a tattoo artist and said "I want it like this, with these changes." My only regret is I had him scale down the size ... now I wish it were bigger.
