Should I get a tattoo?

[Vanje]

How should it look?
Where should it go?

Are they expensive?

[DS1]

1. No

[trof]

2. No. Next question.

[LisaL]

3. Nope.

[Justyce]

4. I vote no. nt

[LynneSin]

5. If you have to ask the answer is no

it's the Yoda philosphy - there is no try, either do or do not.

Well when it comes to tattoos - either you do or do not. If you have doubts then you'll probably regret the thing afterwards. The only people I've met who have bitched about their tattoos are people who weren't sure if they wanted one in the first place.

[DarkTirade]

20. 2nded.

[matcom]

6. Yes

but ONLY if you...

A) Know what it should look like
B) Know EXACTLY where you want it
C) Be ready to pay top dollar for it

[trof]

9. I can always count on you.

When the chips are down, you always come through.
:hi:

[matcom]

10. heh

:hi: back atcha!

[LeftyMom]

7. If you have to ask, the answer is no.

And it's going to be on your body for the rest of your life. Consider and budget accordingly.

[Forkboy]

8. Sure, then you can be different like everyone else.

[trof]

11. Best answer.

[Dystopian]

39. Good answer!

Too funny...sad but true.


peace~

[XemaSab]

12. Get a couple dolphins jumping over your ass

n/t

[Chan790]

13. Nah...

that's not original. I saw a porn star with that tattoo.

Let's be original and put Elvis-style pompadours on the dolphins, they should also have trails of mac-and-cheese trailing behind them.

[Xipe Totec]

14. Thread useless w/o pictures

let's see the canvass first.

[Vanje]

15. You know that mag cover of Jennifer Aniston?

I dont look like that too much...
Though, In my favor, it must be said that I have roughly the same number of body parts as Ms. Aniston.

[Xipe Totec]

16. I'm looking for general area.

Are we talking postage stamps or murals?

:P

[Vanje]

19. That would depend

on which bits we're talking about

[Xipe Totec]

21. So we have choices here?

A blank canvass, as it were?

Or is some of the real estate taken?

If this is the first stroke, then I defer....

[Vanje]

22. Blank slate

Some of my bits are ....welll.....do we have a lot of ink?

[Xipe Totec]

31. Something demure, then

an ankle chain?

Go easy; take your time.

A large canvas demands respect.

:hi:

[Deja Q]

17. Naah. Get de plane instead.

[YankeyMCC]

18. I'd lean towards no if you're askinng the DU lounge :)

But if you come to the point where you really feel you want one and have a firm grasp on what you want it for then most definitely YES. And you'll probably find yourself able to answer your own questions about what and where.

Expense depends on the complexity and size generally but I would say make sure you're ready to pay for quality for I think obvious reasons :)

I didn't get my first one until my late thirties, I had thought about it since I was a teenager but didn't do anything until I truly felt I understood what it would mean to me and I could not be happier. I've since gotten a second and hope to get a couple more.

[Zavulon]

23. No.

Seriously, what strikes you as so great that you'd want it on your body until your dying day?

At the risk of offending some, tattoos are for prisoners or morons.

[matcom]

24. you are an idiot

and no, you don't deserve any explanation.

ass.

[Zavulon]

26. Correction:

Tattoos are for hypersensitive morons.

And speaking of asses, kiss mine.

[matcom]

28. hmmmm ... little red X - click - *poof*

there. THAT was easy

[Zavulon]

29. Good idea, thanks.

[JoePhilly]

30. Get a temporary one ... consider it like any other fashion accessory ... but one you can take off.

[ghostsofgiants]

44. Morons eh?

On that note, I just found a picture of you:

[kayakjohnny]

25. Get branded instead. Like cattle or sheep. It'll show people just how serious you are.

[Vanje]

32. We dont brand sheep

We eartag em!

I already wear eartags

[LostinVA]

34. Are you hair or wool?

You post above made me lol.

[LostinVA]

27. Yes, pawprints across your back, sometimes

[gblady]

33. NO!

nt

[astral]

35. Only if you're over 40

so you don't have to worry about living to regret it because you're so damned sure of yourself at your age.

I do not understand tattoos much, and I especially do not understand women wanting them, and of course I don't have any (didn't even pierce my ears til I was 28 years old) so my opinion don't count.

But I dare say if you have to ask . . . . . Hey, get a temporary burn-it-on tat! ; )

[Book Lover]

36. If you're asking us here, no!

And this comes from a person who got hers on impulse one day. Thank goodness it is lovely and my own design. Have some henna done first and see if you like decorating yourself. Go from there.

[JCMach1]

37. if you have to ask, NO!

[grannylib]

38. 1. If you have to ask, probably not. 2. Only you can tell what it should

be and how it should look (with some advice from the artist). If you get one, it should be something meaningful to you and one you won't look at when you're 60 and go, "WTF did I do THAT for???" 3. The real estate is up to you; if you get one, it should probably go somewhere that won't wrinkle much as you age. 4. Depends on size and color; they're like anything else, you get what you pay for.

[Iggo]

40. Since you asked....No.

[quakerboy]

41. Only if its tribal or in a language you do not understand

[Tuesday Afternoon]

42. No.

If you have to ask then, there is your answer.

[ghostsofgiants]

43. If you have to ask those questions, then you probably shouldn't.

Not yet anyway.

I can't wait to get my next one though.

[MrSlayer]

45. No.

Painful and look like shit later on.
