Who has tattoos ?

got quite a few so...

okay... here goes...

1) a gecko on my left butt cheek (my bf and I got matching ones when we married)

2) tribal design on my left arm from near my shoulder to below my elbow (it looks cool, but makes it hard to get a job as it can be really visable in the summer)

3) angel wings on my back surrounding my shoulder blades (symbolises the many lucky turns my life has had...)

There you go!

I have two, both are from the fantasy theme world. I'm not a particular fan of fantasy, but the one on my arm is a tree/woods scene tribal, and on my lower abs is a large butterfly. Both are fairly old, 15 and 12 years or so. I can't say I had them done for anyone, but it had just become cool amongst me and my girlfriends, so I had it done. I still like them, though I know that some men are turned off by women with tattoos.

Update:

Last Thursday (Sept. 21st) I had 5 azalea flowers added into the greenery around the jaguar......
And also added a fiery sunburst around my navel: hot pink, coral, some orange and red.....it's not symmetrically shaped....looks more realistic that way.

But tattoos are adding something, not taking anything away......
But I understand not liking that you were "modified" without your consent.

Has anyone done a poll asking how many wish they weren't circumcised ?


Seen some pretty bizarre/radical body modifications online.....
Many are Way out there.......too far out for me....

Good point.

You're being facetious, right? Seriously maybe you should start a genuine poll? I did a search for tattoo* and didn't find anything recent. The reason I suggest a poll is: I think those who don't have any aren't as likely to post a message.

I am planning on getting one for my 21st birthday, I started designing it on my 18th birthday. Going on my upper back. I have about 20 designs so I still need to decide. There will be a LOT of symbolism though I can assure you, my life would make one hell of a book. I am trying to pack it into one tattoo

Only one Big tattoo ?

Save something for later on.......cause you're most likely going to want to go back for another.

I'm thinking the ones who find it addictive discover it is a sort of snowball effect.
The more tattoos you get, the worse the addiction.

But I'm not going to let that stop me..........LOL

Well I doubt I will be able to fit everything into one tattoo...I know I won't be able to. There is so much I want to say/show/symbolize I don't know if I have enough skin:) Need to sit down and figure out if any of my current designs are going to cut it. I have 4-5 months to decide

Two of them, on the right shoulder, the first one ever was a scorpion (astrological sign), the other on the small of my back over my buttocks, a bio-hazardous label insignia. The latter was an attempt at comical humor, put above where I take a crap and the waste product that comes out is a bio-hazard.

None. The best thing that I can say about tats is that they aren't piercings, which I hate even worse.

Although I suppose a tatooed message "open at other end" might be cute. The first time I saw it. After that, nada, put her out with the trash.
