Who here has tattoos?

[Becky in Wisconsin]

I have 5. A flower on my right foot. "MOM" & "DAD" on my right ankle. A smiley (my nickname) Hawaiian guy on my inner left ankle. A lion on the back of my neck. And a "fleur de lis" on my upper left shoulder blade, which was done by my son.

Not me

[K9 Owned]

I'm needle phobic and passed out having my ears pierced.
Body art is a no-go for me

I have just one:
It's a rose on my upper left thigh.
And in memory of my sister ,
I want to get a lavender & light blue
butterfly on my left shoulder.

[Deely]

Nope, me either. When I wanted one, I was too chicken...now at 61 it's not a top priority.

I currently have 3 and plan to get more.
I have a Scooby Doo head on my right hip
I have a black and purple tribal heart with my DDs' initials in it on my left ankle
and I have a beautiful Egyptian Bastet in shades of turquoise and purple on my right shoulder blade.

Not on your life!

None for me. When the body and skin changes, so does that tattoos.

[Recipe Reader]

None for me either, although I do have something picked out: a compass.
But I don't think I will ever do it.

Mine haven't. It really depends on where you get them as to how much they will alter. My oldest one is 10YO and other than it has faded a little, it looks the same. My are on relatively bony areas so they are less likely to sag and bag and look awful

Hey, Z
Is it more painful to get one on a bony area than a softer area?

Yep, I fear they'd end up looking like a map of Italy.

YEP! But they hold their design so much better on a bony areas that, to me at least,the pain is worth it. After all, it only hurts til the pain goes away.

I recently got my 3rd, an Angel on my right forearm, done very light grey, it turned out very pretty.
My others are a crown of thorns done on my neck and a rosary done on left ankle and top of foot.

RR, my experience is different from Z's, the "fleshy" tat ended up being the Angel on my forearm, and that hurt the worst, by far. The other two a cakewalk in comparison.

I still want one or two more, but who knows if that will happen

I did have a small rose on my chest, but it got removed when I had a lumpectomy 4 1/2 years ago. I have no intention of getting it replaced.
