There used to be a time when the only individuals who had tattoos were the harley lovin dangerous type. Or so they seemed dangerous. Now it seems everyone has one. From grandma to teenagers. What do you think about tattoos?

I love them. I just wish that people wouldn't be so judgemental about them. They tell stories about the people wearing them. they are art, and should be appreciated as so.

I definitely like that answer. This is so true. I think our tattoos tell a small story about us.

I don't love or hate them. I think they look okay but I do hold opinions that they're a waste of time and most people have them removed in later stages of their lives or regret it. To much money for something you could appreciated on a wall or something. Artistic though as I do like designs and tattoo artist are very talented! (no matter what anyone says, regarding their choice of art) Kudos, ~Joey

The only time I hate tattoos is when they are all over someones body, are bad words or disturbing pictures - I think that is so unnecessary. I personally will never get one, but if someone wants to get one that means something to them - go for it. My sister-in-law got one the other year and if we weren't related or friends I wouldn't even know she had it. I think they can be tastefully done. However, I hope the person thinks about when they get older and choose carefully what they get and where they get it.

I don't really LOVE tatoos but I do appreciate them as something artistic and beautiful. I developed this sense of appreciation even more from watching Miami Ink and how a tattoo is made. And also the stories behind each tattoo. I wish I could be I'm not allowed to. I don't really fancy a full body piece though. But I still think of it as art. =)

I have a tatoo that I got when I was in High School. My friend and I went together. I got Roger Rabbit on my azz, and she got either Mickey or Minnie Mouse on her lower hip area near the bikini line. I still love it til this day, because its unique to me.

I think SOME tattoos on a person are acceptable, I do not agree with more tons of them covering every inch of skin on a person. My cousins have over thirty tattoos and I think they are nuts. It doesn't look too bad on them but I would never approve of it. I currently do not have a tattoo. I would like to get one, one day but I don't have the courage. However, I'm going on a weekend trip with my cousin and when I come back I'm going to have a fake tattoo on and I'm going to tell my parents that I got one when I was away!! :) It's not like I would need their permission if I did want to get one because I'm 22 years old, but I just think it would be funny to shock them because that would be so out of character for me!! I can't wait to see the look on their faces!! :)

I still don't like 'em. Had a woman showing 'em off to me like she was being sexy, and I had to point out that she didn't need the decoration to turn me on. Got me slapped, but I stick to it.
