There is nothing wrong with a tattoo. I have a tattoo,and I would like to get another one.My tattoo is on my shoulder.Getting a tattoo does not give you a bad reputation here.

i think girls with tatoo doesn't mean they are bad or anything. i guess you just like to have a tattoo just like any other people who wants to have a tattoo right its art and there is nothing wrong about it.
BTW i am from the philippines too. where is your tattoo located anyway?

I also have two i have a back piece and an arm band!! First of all that i think judging someone because of a tattoo is morally wrong it is just art. I also get my tattoos admired alot but i got them for me and i have meaning in mine!

Indeed..but here in my own country where a lot of women get pregnant in an early age,a lot of live in relationships accepted and single moms are very successful in their own careers,they still cant look at tattoos as art..thats why i like going abroad because thats where i truly feel accepted.thanks for responding.

Getting a Tattoo Denotes INDIVIDUALISM...it really doesn't and shouldn't matter what people think about it as long as you like it yourself.I think girls with Tattoos Look HOT but the only thing is that they should be confident and proud of it.

Tattoos can either spell 'turn-on' or 'turn-off'
There are guys that finds it spunky for a girl to have a tattoo. They find it cool and it turns them on. Some are just not into 'inked' girls. They see it as a defacing mark on a female's body.
As for me, I think a small tattoo is fine. But overly large tattoos are major turn-offs. That amount of ink is intended for canvas, not skin. LOL

im planning to have a tatoo, but i have a low tolerance to take the pain. Im from philippines to and more filipino are more in feminine side. but that makes no sense to me as long as i dont get my self into illegal things, i cant see anything wrong about tatoos. I find it art of fashion.

yes for me too its art..but better wait until you really decide on it.make sure the design you would choose are not those trashy designs.pick one that will definitely stand out.if you are still shy about it,put it on a place that you can cover when you our..like on your back.

I currently have 5 tattoos, and I am getting 2 more, one on my back in March and another in July on my wrist. Tattoos are simply a form of self expression.

You know how the old folks around us think of things like that here in the Philippines. They even cringe at the sight of girls having short hair. In their youth they wear the saya, grew their hair long, never talk to boys alone and holding hands was taboo. So to live and see the changes around can be a shock to them. Some folks are not open to such changes, hence they think girls who goes with the flow as low class. I even shocked my Dad when I wanted my waist long hair cut to shoulder length in college. They can be too conservative at these things, especially on girls. But to say that only wh*res wear tattoos are a bit much. Hopefully they can be enlightened someday.

tattoos are like accessories, some can look great, others can look tacky.
i've seen girls with a tiny tattoo on their ankle, or shoulder that makes them look like total bogans and cheap and tacky. But i've also seen half sleeve tattoos on girls and i think they look awesome, because they carry off the style well.
Like good fashion and bad fashion, there are good tattoos and bad tattoos, you can't generalise by saying 'girls shouldn't have tattoos'. if that was the case, imagine all the awesome artwork on girls that you've seen that we would be missing out on.

i think theres nothing wrong with it but i guess its also depends on the personality of the person and the tattoo you had if it fits. And for those people your refering obviously they dont like it as its not good to look at especially if your a girl. Philippines as you know is not a liberated country and people are usually close minded about that. Only few who are open minded and can appreciate something like that in a girl. They usually like a girl clean and act as a girl.

I think they are sexy on a woman. Everyone has their own tastes. I don't like too many tatoos on a person but that is just my opinion. I guess I'm old fashioned. Having something small doesn't bother me but then again, people can do what they want.
I was thinking of getting two, one on each arm of the names of both my kids. I probably won't ever do it though, but I did think about it.

I don't think that tatoos have a purpose. I mean; when you grow old; what are you gonna change it with if you don't like it then? You should have those tatoos that fade; plus it is quite painful to have a tatoo. Did your parents permit you to have them?

yes my mom did allow me to have one..so theres no problem with that..it wasnt that painful...and im 30years olds,when i had my first one i was old enough to know that it doesnt fade,and it would last forever..so no regrets..

if you would ask me, personally, i don't like girls with tattoos. but dont get me wrong, i have nothing againts girls with tattoos. yes, i think it looks cool and sexy, and it is very popular with the girls right now. i know what you are talking about with the bad reputation issue because im from the philippines too. but that is not the reason why i dont like girls with tattoos. for me, its just a preference. just imagine your grandmother right now, showing you her tattoo. what i mean is, right now, it looks cool because you are young, but if you grow old, you will still have it, and that is when it looks uncool.
