Will you consider having a tatoo? I haven't tried and I don't have plans of having it. I've nothing against those who have. I acknowledge that it's an art. But for me, having that would make me uneasy. How about you? Do you have a tatoo? What part of your body?

I don't have the courage to get a tattoo although I think it's cool sometimes. I scare of pain and I am afraid I will regret after I get one. Sometimes,I would dream to have one at my shoulder,lol. But my boyfriend had one tattoo on his right arm,I think it's cool and I feel he is more macho with the tattoo.

They dont hurt as bad as most make it out. When I got my first the guy was all worried it was hurting and kept asking if I wanted to take a break, it wasnt bad so I told him lets just get it done, I was good. If it is something small that has a good meaning you wont regret it, you'll just always think of the meaning it had at that time and smile about the memory :)

I have a tattoo of a phoenix on my right wrist, most people say you regret getting ink but I have never regreted it for a second, it is of my own design and has a lot of meaning to me (I go it right after having my first child). Oh, and by the way, they don't normally hurt, they only hurt if you get it on a sensitive spot. I only have one right now but I'm planning on getting a few more, all my own design of course.

i wanted to but everytime i think of the importance of my blood it makes me decide not to have one. so what i do is just go to shops who does henna tattoos. at least it can be erased so whenever i get tired of the design i just wait for weeks to vanish and have another design tattooed on my skin.

I have a single rose at my bikini line and when my daughter turned 18 we both got a triple goddess sign on our left ankle to symbolize the different stages of a woman's life and the unity we share together. The rose was when I was single and decided I didnt have to have a man give me roses I would give myself one and always have it :) They are both small, I am trying to find something that would symbolize all my kids, but I have a big crew and dont really want a big tat, but I love what I do have :)

I think it is differant for everyone. People get or don't get tattooed for differant reasons and they are entitled to their opinion or belief. We should not judge others for feeling or believing differantly than ourselves.
