There was a survey not too long ago I saw on the news where work places find piercings alot more off putting them tattoos.


I can understand that actually. Usually tattoos are just on people's arms on legs when they're visible while piercings are really obvious especially since they're often on the face.

I wouldn't care though. Tattoo's are beautiful when done well.
And I think sleeves are hot Shifty

My friend got a tattoo lately, his 18 I think though, so it's fine for him but it's got me thinking and I would really like to have a tattoo. I don't want anything big, just a couple of little ones.

As clichéd as it is I would love to have a star on my wrist somewhere. The problem is that tons of people have that. But I love stars. Then I'd have some words somewhere that relate to the stars.

The problem is my parents would never let me get a tattoo so I have to wait 3 years and one month till I can get one legally ... I don't want to get one while I'm under age cause if the dude fucks it up it's entirely my fault.

I personally find them gross. Sorry but ink in your skin forever isn't attractive to me.

Fair enough, but what makes them unattractive?

And on a similar note, I think it is appalling the amount of people who pass judgment on people with mods and clearly let them know it. I mean fair enough to have your own opinion, that's healthy, but why throw it into someones face when you don't know them?

There is only one difference between tattooed people and non-tattooed people; tattooed people don't care if you don't have a tattoo. Wink

I used to love all tattoos, but now I think faded tatts just look really... trashy.
I love sleeves, but I'd never get them.
My tattoo ideas are;
1) ALIVE on the back of my neck, hidden by my hair.
2) The atom symbol (like this, but simpler) on my wrist.

I'm getting my first tattoo in November and I'm so excited. I'd alread have one if it wasn't illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to get tattooed in the state that I live it. It's considered "child abuse" to let someone under the age of 18 get a tattoo here.

I'm getting a tribute tattoo for my deceased grandmother as my first because it is something important to me and I promised myself that I wouldn't get any tattoos just to "get a tattoo".

My mom and one of my sisters already has the tattoo and I can't wait. Both of my parents and my sisters have tattoos so it's something very accepted in my family.

aww Smile I really want to get one when I'm older (well, we'll still see if I want one then or not...but oh well). My mum hates the idea though Sad so I guess I could only get one when I've long left home.

The only thing I've planned so far is a heartagram tattoo somewhere...not sure where, though

if it's a tattoo that is of something important to you, like a remembrance thing, or something you are extremely passionate about, there's no reason you shouldn't get one.

i want one with my father's death date and i can't decide between poohbear or a rose on my hip, because it's somewhere not a lot of people will be able to see, but i'll know i have it and if someone else sees it, i'll know that they mean a lot to me.

I'm getting wings and my fathers dates on my wrist, as soon as I have the money.
I've put a lot of thought into it, and I figured, I might be just a kid, but it's something that's always going to be inportant to me, and if somewhere that might want to employ me when I'm older [My now-boss loves the idea.] can't deal with the fact that I wanted to remember him in a permanant and artistic way, then they can get screwed.

My friend's brother wants one on his neck that says "Meathead" because he has an abnormally large head. I do not know why you'd want to do that but each to their own...
I've always wanted one really, despite my father trying to freak me out about it on my birthday when I was talking about it. I don't care, I'll get one and I'll probably regret it but I don't mind. I regret things everyday, at least I know I'll pick a really epic one, so it's fine.
I want some wording on it, like a saying or a quote. It would be pretty cool...

I think some tattoos are cool. It's a cool way to make something you love or that means something to you permanent. I want to get the lyrics "Scream until your heart stops," somewhere. I'm not sure where though, and I'm definitely waiting until i'm older. We'll see if I still want it done in two years, and if I still do, I'll get it done.

I love tattoos. I'm just absolutely intrested with them. I want a few once I've been in college for a bit. I don't trust myself enough to run out and get one as soon as I turn 18. It'd be better for me to wait a bit Shifty

I have a few ideas that I've sketched out already. I really want a Dia de los Muertos themed sleeve (or maybe sleeves). It would almost be a skeletons on parade thing, with a full moon and a indigo midnight sky. I want lots of color put into it. I'm also thinking about putting some script into it (in spanish). I could go on and on about how I want it to be XD It's something thats really important to me... it actually has dual meaning but they're both long stories hahaha. I also have some lyrics that are important to me that I'd love to incorperate into a tattoo some how.

I really want a star. Red with a black outline.

Problem is, there's this REALLY old teacher at school who has one on her ankle. It looks so gross on her.

So I don't think I will. I don't want to have people laughing at me when I'm older because of something I did when I was younger and laughing at someone else for having one.

I heart tattoos. Smile I have a Smashing Pumpkins one and a CSPULL one currently, but I do plan to get more in the future.
