If you were planning a tattoo ...

i don't plan on getting any tattoos but if i were to break down and do it, it would be more for a cosmetic purpose than anything else. i have vitiligo (for those who don't know what that is, it's a skin condition that causes bright white patches that do not tan) and i've pretty much learned to live with it. the patches on my elbows and legs don't bother me too much really and the ones on my eyelids and under my chin i can cover pretty well with makeup. the ones i dislike the most are on the tops of my hands. i love my hands...they are probably my best feature. long fingers, i get my nails done all the time, not too bony or veiny...but in the past 5 years or so i've gotten these white spots on my hands and they are really bright when the skin around them tans in the summer. i considered getting tattoos of flowers, butterflies, dragonflies, vines, etc on the tops of my hands to cover these spots. does that sound strange to anyone??? lol

Hi there. I have several tattoos over various parts of my body. One of them is a dragon over the whole of my left foot, with the head going up my ankle, getting this tattoo was really painful, as the foot is mainly all skin and bone, I wont be going there again, in saying that, I am proud of my dragon. As for visability, I got all my tattoos, because I wanted them and they represent different things and stages in my life. At no time did I get tattoos to impress others, or to worry about what other people thought, I couldnt care a less, these tattoos I have, are designs I wanted which Im proud of. Have a great day...

I have one tat on the inside of my lower leg. It didnt hurt much. Of course, I never thought I would get a tat because I am scared of needles. My next tat will be on my upper arm. I am getting 3 butterflies with my children's names weaved in them.

I don't have a tat & I don't really plan of getting one, if I did, however, I'd want it to be something meaningfull, not just an animal or something, something that means alot to me & I would have it on the very top of my arm.

Placement for tattoos for me has more factors than where it will hurt. mainly becuase i don't think tattoos hurt. But also because i feel that a tattoo should fit whatever are it is being placed(flow with the body). I have my lower back done, my neck and shoulder blades area, on my right side i have a vine from my boob down my ribs along my hip and over to my bikini area, i have one one my ankle and i am in the process of getting a half sleeve. my sleeve is the only tattoo of mine that is visible when i am wearing jeans and a tee. untill i became a stay at home mom all of my work had to be out of site. tattoos are becoming more and more common, but I feel it is still important to look professional in the work place.

I have 5 tattoos. getting my 6 & 7 very soon. The most painful part? The rib cage! I have a Borneo scorpion tattoo done traditionally on my rib cage. OMG! The pain was unbearable. But I got thru it. Why? Because it meant something to me. The second most painful part of the body to be tattooed, you ankle. I have a tattoo of a vine tattooed from my ankle till my knee, symbolizing my growth, my maturity.

I don't have a tattoo and would love to have a huge one on my back just below my nape down to my spine. I want it big and and all black ink. I had a fixed plan before to get a tattoo but when my father knew it, he told me not to pursue it so I did not. Good child you know.. hehehe.. Anyway, I hope one day before I die, I'll be able to get a tattoo on my back. I'm scared of needles actually but for tattoo's sake, I will.

I have four tattoos. One on my right ankle (of a band i like) one on my left arm in the middle (of another band i like) one on my right wrist (group of musical notes) and one on the right wrist on the opposite side (of a treble clef with a rose around it)...i think it may be plain obvious that all my tattoo's have a musical theme lol. I am getting more in the future and they will stick to the music theme. I live my life for music and I would not change my tattoo's for anything or anyone. I don't care how crap they may look when i am 90 years old lol.

I have 6 tatts. I love them and Yes they are addicting. I have one on my left calf, one on my right ankle, one on my lower back, one on my right shoulder blade, one on my wrist and one on the top of my foot. The worst one I have had pain wise would have to be the one on my shoulder blade and that was my last one!!!

I already have 1 tattoo at the back of my neck. Its my name on it. I can hide it anytime when it should be specially at work by wearing polo or blouses with collars. It really doesnt hurt placing it there comapred to other parts because skin is thicker there. I don't really mind people seeing it, its y trademark and i just turn around so people can easily know my name =)

the only kind of tattoo i had before was henna with tribal-like signs on my hand... now i want to try having a tattoo for real.. at my lower back just above the butt.. with the number 21 which is my boyfriend and mine's anniversary. i chose that spot because its summer so it will be visible when im in my suit :D

Well if I were planning a Tattoo...the first thing that I would need is a map and a compass...lol...but the chosen spot would have to be out of sight and out of mind...as im not into tattoos.. Hubby had one when I met him..a little heart on his arm..with a name inside...and luckily enough...we married..and the name was the same as mine!!!

I have 2 tattoo's on my body 1 of a black flame on my chest bone which didnt come out like i wished so hoping to get it redone. the other was a bit of a joke as my mate got one too, some people have said it was sad but i like it and thats what counts, i got it on my back on the upper right of my shoulder (its the autobot symbol lol)

i actually have two, one is on the base on my spine and the other is just above my right pelvic bone. both are actually hidden undless i choose to "flash" them. hehehe.

probably it will be placed in either my lower back or my upper arm. to be honest, i'll get a tattoo done in a ny part of my body that will not be seen by my parents. i grew up in a very conservative and traditional family. when i got the second pair of ear piercing my parents went berserk. i really like to have a tattoo but i don't like transgression---particularly with my parents' traditional ways. for now, the plan is there. the actual tattooing, well, that's another story :D
