I don't like the idea of permanent tatoos. I don't think tatoos look good on anybody. Tatoo is something which you can't erase and you need to have it throughout your life. So, everbody should think a lot and have a clear mind before having a tatoo. I also don't want to take the pain the needles to have a tatoo.
Some people say men with tatoos look sexy. I don't agree to it.
What do you say?

I think tattoos are art. Some design are amazing and some ar hideous. Everyone has got hos of her own opinion.
I once thought bout it. I drawed a design and everything. But I decided not to do it and save the money for something else.
Well some people do looy sexy with tattoos but the same person does look sexy without that tattoo :)
Its the person that matters not the Tat.
take care

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. This is a free country after all. Tattoos are a form of self expression in art that can be anything you want as long as you can afford it. There is some pain of course just like there is pain in having a child. A very different extreme of course but that too costs money. With any decision in life it is all about what you are willing to go through to be happy so if you are happy with not getting poked a million times with ink to express yourself then you are awsome for knowing what you want in life....but FYI you can remove tattoos.

Yes, I do have a tattoo. It's on the back of my left shoulder, and I've had it for a little over a year. I understand that not everyone likes the idea of tattoos and such. And I respect this point of view, which is why I try not to display it when I'm in public places and such. I do this, also because I don't want to offend anyone by showing off my tattoo.

I have one tattoo. I have a very small flower on my neck. It's kind of under and behind my ear. No one really notices unless I have my hair up. I had it done over 10 years ago.
One or two on men is ok. It looks disgusting when they have lots of tattoos.

I prefer a guy without tatts and I don't think they enhance a guy's body, but they're definitely not a break-all. Like, a guy can still look nice if he has tattoos. But if they're gonna have tattoos I prefer them in black ink, not color. Color just looks tacky all the time...

i don't have a tattoo. but i am planning to have one someday. i don't think i am ready to get one now. i might change my mind. so before i decide to finally get one, i should really think about it over and over so that i will not regret that decision someday.

I don't think anyone looks good with tattoos, but to each their own. If I want a tattoo, I'll stick to the temporary kind, thank you very much. LOL I just couldn't imagine marking myself permanently that way, or going through the pain for that matter. Sure, there may be some cool looking ones out there, but that doesn't mean I'd go out and get one because of it. LOL
Happy mylotting!

I got a tatoo when I was 15 years old and the pain is horrible, specialy when it reached near a bone. But at this particular age you want to do like your friends..but still fortunatly I dont regret it. It's not like I had a twitty bird tatooed...its a nice flower on my stomach-hips. I found it sexy ;-)

I'm of a differing opinion than you are, but that's okay because everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I myself really like tattoos when they are in moderation. I got my first tattoo when I was eighteen years old. It is a small dolphin over my right ankle. It was actually my eighteenth birthday gift to myself. It was something that I'd wanted to do for a long time. I got my second tattoo when I was nineteen years old and that one I am not so fond of anymore, but it is still there none the less.
What I don't like when it comes to tattoos are the people that have really big ones. The people that try to make sure that their tattoos dominate what people think of them.

I am with you on this one dorannmwin (although it looks like we are alone in this crowd)-lol
I too have a small tat on my right ankle. I got it in 1975- you all can do the math on that one.
Chances are I won't be getting another one, but not for one moment do I regret the one I have. Never once has it interfered with my professional life, or caused a loved one to think less of me.
Like many things in life, it is a personal choice and a personal preference. To each their own, live and let live and all that.
I do, however, not personally like those who chose to have them all over ther bodies to the point where they can detract from the real person. But again, that is just my opinion, and should have no bearing on what others like or desire.

gettin a tattoo is a personal choice.... for some it might be just for fun,but u can get 1 done in memory of some1,to remind u of a phase in life or bring closure to a phase.... yeah getting it done is no joke coz once its on its not comin off.... so make a wise choice..... i got 1 done to remind me of wht i've evolved into from wht i was and i'm amazed at how things hv taken a turn for the better everytime i look at it.....
so all the best for all those who r plannin on gettin 1 and trust me its a mind blowin feelin.....
cheers.....hv a good one

I was considering having a tattoo for a long time, but I still have not. On the one hand I'd like to have some sign, that makes me different from the others, while on the other hand I don't want this thing to be with me for ages. If there was a possibility to make a tattoo for a couple of years, I wold evidently do that.
Talking about pain, it is somehow similar to plastic surgery. All those fake boobs and giant lips not necessarily make you beautiful, but people are ready to go for it for their own reasons.

I do not have any tattoos on my body, but I do think it looks cool as some designs with characteristics of art enhance the body. Although it looks cool to me, but I don't think i will have one myself due to it cannot be erased and most people does not like it.

I don't have any tattoos on my body. I am not interested in having tattoos at all. I don't think it will look cool. I don't want to suffer the painful to have the tattoo. If one day I feel regretful to my tattoo, it is too difficult to remove it. So I have no plans to have it.
I love China

I don't have any tattoos and never will! I have absolutely no desire to put something permanent like that on my body. About as permanent as I will go is a piercing - ON MY EARS! lol At least that I can close if I don't want it anymore. I guess I'm not very adventurous. lol I've never been a fan of tattoos though. Never really saw the point in them. Some people though LOVE tattoos and are addicted to getting them. My husband doesn't have any tattoos or any desire to get one - thank goodness. Then again if he did I probably wouldn't have married him. lol I am so not attracted to men that have them.

hi daliaj,
i don't have any tatoo in my body and not thinking of having any. when i was still a kid i am scared with people with tatoo but now i learned to accept the fact that it is an art, a fashion, a self-expression.
medically, i don't agree either. in our country once you have tatoo, you will 
not be qualified to donate blood and there are also some offices who discriminates applicants with tatoo.

I don't have a tatoo on my body and I am not planning to have one. It is very unpleasant to look at and there is no way to remove it. I think that the only way to remove this is to cover it with another skin. Well, not exactly removing the tatoo, just simply covering it and the procedure is very painful. Well, I don't believe that having a tatoo can make you look sexy. I am really afraid of getting a tatoo because I have heard that many got an HIV and Hep B virus through tatooing. Anyway, I love my body just the way it is and tatoo doesn't make a difference. I don't want to spend and waste my money on that. Happy mylotting.

I have 3 tattoos on my bod; a butterfly,a Mandarin symbol and a Sinhalese quote. 2 of them which I regret getting and the other one that is extremely meaningful to me. I think getting a tattoo is a big decision and it shouldn't be taken lightly. The pain didn't hurt too much, personally I thought piercings hurt more.
