I have no tattoos but i am not against at all.I think tattoos is a form of expression ...and the more artistic they are the better...
I just think that tattoos is mistakes just when you make when you are teenager or drinking ...but when you choose one being matured is very good...
I have never goten a tattoo just because my views have evolved so much through my life. I know that things I may wish to expres now may not be what I wish to express down the road.
But its completely a personal choice.
Now my question is: Do you ever regret than you make a tattoo?Are your tattoos arstistic or average??

I currently have 2 tats and I love them. They have a special personal meaning to me and I don't see that changing, though I suppose it could.
However, I am very glad I waited until my 30's to get them. I can remember some of the things that I said I wanted as a teenager. Those would have been seriously regrettable!

I think it's artistic. I'd like to get one myself but not sure where is the best place to go. I don't want to get them in an unhygienic place if you know what I mean. I like so many things so it's rather hard to decide which tattoo I want

I love the picture you have used.I can't say for sure ,but I think that's a tattoo from our country which is called mahendi.It's done on a bride's hands and feet when just before their marriage.
I used to have a different opinion about tattoos and piercings when I was young because I was brought up and taught that way.They were regarded as social rebels.But as I grew up and started knowing people who had tattoos ,I realised they are as clear in their mind as anyone else and it's just a form of expression,yes, artistic expression.Just because getting tattoos done might pain at times or the art might seem weird shouldn't make us biased against tattoos.
I don't have any tattoos myself , but I have had friends who had tattoos on their body and were proud of it.One of them was one of the sanest and keenest of minds I have known.

I think tattoos are very sexy and I have 6. My husband has 5. I don't have any plan on stopping either because I can tell you this that once you get your first, you will HAVE to get more. I got all 6 of mine while I was in my early 20's and I don't regret them at all. My next one is going to honour my daughter and I'm not sure about any more after that. I'm sure I will get more, but just have no plans as of yet. I feel your body is a canvas, paint it =)

I dont have any tattoos either. And I dont like to see people with alot of them all over their body. I think it makes them look ugly. But to each is own. I would like to get a real small one on my foot of a butterfly but I heard its really painfully because of its near a bone.OUCH!

hi augustta. I have four tattoos of which I am proud of. My first tattoo, I got when I was 15, which was a Harley Davidson motor with an eagle and a wolfs head coming out the sides, clouds for the background, thats on my upper arm.
2nd: I have a vine around my navel button.
3rd: I have a dragon that covers the whole of my foot and twist around my ankle, that was all bone and very sore lol.
4th: I have a chinese symbol on the inside of my forearm. For me soon as I got my first tattoo, I couldnt stop, I wanted another one. Now to answer your question. NO I dont regret getting any of my tattoos, I love them all, each one has a significant meaning for me... :) In my culture, traditionally you would get tattooed on your chin and or your legs. Not me though... Not the chin lol.

I have no problem with people having tattoos, although I would prefer them to be small and discreet. My nephew has a number of them and there are a couple that weren't well done. It is a shame, because the rest are very artisic, but the dud is in a prominent place and detracts fromt he others.

I love tattoos. Though I don't have one yet. I want to get one but I have to think long and hard about what I want to make sure it won't be a mistake or something I regret. They are so expensive to get removed. If I do get a tattoo I will make it very artistic and unique.

Hi how are you doing today!
Me as well is not against of having a tattoos it is because most are accepting it as an art depending of the molding culture that we have. Right!
Actually, tattoos bring a bad image to a person who have tattoos in their body. However,I think it was already changed that concept and eventually accepting it as a form or an art paint to a real body.

I thought about getting a tattoo when I was about 20 years old. I waited 10 years, and I still wanted the same thing, so I got my first tattoo. Within the past year, I've gotten four more tattoos, and I don't regret a single one of them. I have a wonderful artist who does my tattoos, and she always has good ideas how to improve the basic ideas that I have.
I think that most spur-of-the-moment tattoos end up being a mistake, but if you put some thought into what you're getting, and give it at least a little bit of time before you get that tattoo, you will probably be happy with the results, even years down the road.

My son likes tatoos. They are temporary and can be washed off at anytime. Sometimes I also get attracted to some of the tatoos that he brings. Then I transfer it on to my chest of shoulder. Recently I had an Eagel tatoo on my left arm. But now it is washed away.

I think tattoes are another form of expression.They can make a statement about anything and everything. I like all types of tattoes. I agree that you should take your time in choosing the tattoe that you want. I don't think it matters how old you are,within reason like a 10 year old sholudn't get a tattoe, as long as you have thought it out. Location, size, and style are the choices you have to make.It can be a beautiful thing.

i have 6-designed by me.i see them as a natural progression from non-living to living canvas,for me.
i do not regret a single one,and they are all expressions of me :)
but if somebody doesn't want one,that's cool with me too-just a person's choice,is all.
