Do you have a tattoo?

Nuh uh
 

I don't have any but want to get one on my ankle. Maybe a cute penguin or something.

Never wanted one and never will get one. I can't stand the thought of being in my 60s or 70s with a butterfly or something equally as generic on my hip, the small of my back or ankle (no offense to the butterfly girls--many of my friends have them in said locations) and a boat load of sagging flesh. Bleech. I know a lot of people who are only in their late 20s and already, the ink has begun to fade. Talk about going through a lot of pain for nothing--fading ink would piss me off. My mom has always wanted one. I think that officially sealed the deal for me. If that isn't a big turn off for a tattoo, I don't know what is :laugh:

Dont have one yet...
 

but I do have a design in mind for a tattoo on my shoulder which is the Nightwish "Once" album cover below (I'd have the word "Once" removed and replaced with my Mother's initials-B.S.J.)

Deb is considering getting a tattoo of K.U.'s monkey/guitar logo this June when she would be cancer-free for 1 year.

I hate that too! I have had so many problems with that darn machine, too. My tests come out high/normal because I always blink and I know that there is nothing wrong because I have been to a specialist. He told me that those machines aren't always accurate.

As for tattoos I never had the urge to get one. I just don't see the big appeal of them. I used to have a pack of the stick on rose ones but those you can move around in different places, too. That you can't do with a real one and I think that is why they never appealed to me.

This one needs to be recolored, I got it when I was 18.

I have one more, but it's in the middle of my back, and I don't feel like taking a pic of it.

Oh, by the way, as a resident of California in my age group and lower, you ARE required by law to get tattoos. It's also frowned on for you not to have any piercings. Perhaps it's different in uptight east coast, but here, it's the law!

i spent five hours of my 18th birthday getting my tattoo. i had been doodling the same dragon for something like two years so there was no question that i was using it as a template. it is stevie-inspired: one of my fave lines is "pale shadow, she's a dragon" and Battle of the Dragon is one of my fave songs. somehow, i named him after Neil Young. if TISL had come out before i turned 18, i might have gone for the S dragon. i've never regretted getting my tat, and i have been waiting to add onto it for a while.

he's a little pixely because i had to compress the file:

No tatoos on me.

I don't have any - but almost got one when I was 16 :eek:

My friends and I skipped school and went to a tattoo shop - as they were piercing my (underage) friend's tongue I was convincing the guy I was 18 and of course my friends were backing me up :rolleyes:

I was all set to go when the manager showed up and stopped it since I didn't have ID..

Thank goodness!!!

I was going to get a little musical eighth note on my ankle...something simple and small - but I'm glad I didn't - I don't have anything against tattoos - I think they're awesome - but I'm too much of a coward to get one...

In fact I'd like to join the "I hate pain club" :nod:

Nope. I'm with Marissa, I can't imagine being 65 and seeing a ridiculous tattoo on my person. I don't particularly need ink drawn permanently on my body to express myself as a person, I never saw the point. And I cry at the sight of needles, so that would rule out getting one automatically.

I've considered one but I'm not down with the permanence of it. If I did for some reason I'd go for a little shooting star on the back of my shoulder, but I don't think I'll ever go through with it.

Wow, Brian reading your post gave me chills. I think that is a great idea.
