I love tattoos. Some people have such beautiful tattoos done. I want to have a small 'Krishna' tattoo done but I am too scared of the needles and the pain. I think I will be content admiring others' tattoos as I can never muster the courage of getting one done.

You can stick with henna. You know I kind of regret having tattoos because they wont allow me to donate blood.

@swalia Yup they were not allowed to donate blood. They get rejected by the blood bank very fast.

@CaptAlbertWhisker thanks for informing me that..probably because there is a risk of getting infected due to the needles.

Me, too and so I don't do that. I just have to admire those who have.

I really wonder how one can go through so much of pain just to get themselves inked!

I prefer to be different and not have a tattoo. You will be pleased later that you didn't.

May be! I think I will get bored of seeing the same tattoo over and over again.

i don't really plan to have one, i don't think my siblings have them, either. but sometimes when i entertain the thought, i think either upper back (below the neck) or lower back (under the waistband).

@swalia anesthesia requires precision you get it more and it affects your brain, not something being done at tattoo shop..

I wonder why don't they use aneasthesia or something so that the pain isn't felt!

I have multiple tattoos and it's such an aesthetically pleasing process. It hurts but it still feels the good, the way the needle glides on your skin leaving a mark.I love it.

You bear the pain for the love of tattoos. I am scared of needles.
