No way---don't like unnecessary pain.

[Taltarzac725]

I like to donate blood and believe that getting a tattoo puts a one year hold on donating. http://tattoo.about.com/cs/articles/a/blood_donation.htm

Under a new Florida law its is only 4 months if the tattoo was done in a licensed tattoo parlor. http://www.oneblood.org/target-your-type/blood-donor-basics.stml

•If you received a tattoo at a licensed and regulated facility in Florida after January 1, 2013, or in another state with licensed and regulated facilities, you are eligible to donate after 4 months. If you received a tattoo in Florida before January 1, 2013, or in an unlicensed facility, you are eligible to donate after 12 months.

I like the butterfly.

[Patty55]

I kind of like the white ones, they look like lace.

If I were going to do one I would do an ankle bracelet.

Two paw prints, one for each dog that I have had

A friend of mine did that, put their paw prints over her heart.

Anthony Bourdain's shoulder tattoo is The Ouroboros or Uroboros[a] an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail.

The Ouroboros often symbolize self-reflexivity or cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, the eternal return.

His is black. Now that I see it up close, I probably wouldn't choose it. Like it on him, though.

[OCsun]

It would be my Florida phone number on the palm of my hand. I had the same phone number for forty years before moving to TV and my brain just can't get past the new area code. :)

[Lbmb24101]

I would not inflict pain and risk on purpose

However, I would like to understand the why people do tattoes on themselves.

Besides a way to express yourself, your individuality, what other reasons are there??

Several in the younger generation in our family have tattoes and I would like to understand them, if possible.

[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

If I got a tattoo it would say, "I hate tattoos and I don't understand the fascination with them."

[gomoho]

My daughter has her master's degree in clinical psychology and is pretty tatted up - good thing she chose that field where they are readily accepted. Hers all tell a story or
symbolize an important event in her life. She works with under privledged youth and
they are of course curious. Her left sleeve tells a story of Buddhism which opens the door for conversation of all sorts. I was shocked when she first did this, but they have actually served her well.

If I ever had the guts to go through that pain mine would be a hummingbird although I love the idea of paw prints on my heart.

[Patty55]

I think if you do it make sure of the spelling. My sister had a guy painting her house who had a "Led Zepelin" tattoo. Somewhere along the way I guess he realized he was short a "p" so he put one of those caret things and inserted it on top.

[Diva Kay]

A butterfly on the back becomes a buzzard in the crack when old age sets in. LOL

I already have 3 butterflies tattooed on my left shoulder. I got them to mark my 60th birthday 10 years ago. I love them!!

Two things immediately turn me off when it comes to women, if they smoke or if they have tattoos. Please understand that I am not biased and I would have said men too except I am not attracted to men and so that issue is moot

A former coworker got a small tattoo on her calf when she was in her early 20's. Once she became a mom with 2 little girls she regretted getting it, but she couldn't afford to have it removed. Her daughters were constantly asking her when they could get a tattoo.

I have advised my 19 year old and 22 year old nieces to think about where they get tattoos should they decide to get one (or more than one). There is still bias in more conservative career paths to those who have tattoos that are easily seen (lower arms, neck, etc.).

I'd get recommendations for some good ink shops in the area. Do the same as if you were hiring any other tradesman..

If I were to get a tattoo there would have to be a really good story to go with it and being a Sailor I have some really good stories but no tattoo. :D

My husband has several and it is a really good story unfortunately it is the same story repeated several times.

Vietnam War, 19 year old Sailor, Liberty in Hong Kong, Pinky's Tattoo Parlour, free beer with tattoo.

When my girlfriend and I were 22, she got a small 'cream puff' tattooed on her back shoulder.

Now almost 40 yrs later when she wears a sleeveless shirt, strangers will comment that the mole on her shoulder looks like melanoma and she should have it checked out.

My daughter got a very small flower tattoo near her ankle when she was in college. As soon as she hit the work force she regretted it. 900.00 later it is ALMOST removed. The green ink is stubborn. Very expensive for removal. Good advice for your nieces.

My story. I am really not a "tattoo gal". BUT I was born on St Pat's Day and I gave careful thought about getting a tattoo....a little shamrock on my ankle. My brother came to town for my 60th birthday and was shocked when he asked me what I wanted for my Big 60 BD present & I told him that I wanted a tattoo. His son was also born on St. Pat's Day...so he "got it". Everyone...friends and relatives...wanted to be there for"Karen's 60th BD tattoo". It's a tiny thing...about half an inch...kinda cute. No one could see the end result because the area was bandaged ....so it was covered. The following Thursday was "The Unveiling of Karen's Tattoo Party".

My aunt is in a nursing home....and they had a carnival that Thursday before "The Tattoo Unveiling". They had a face painter for the kids. Hmmmm.......the wheels started turning. I got in line with all the little ones and when it was my turn, I asked the face painter to paint a HUGE shamrock on my OTHER ankle. I told her the story of my 'tattoo unveiling party" and she painted a huge shamrock on my other ankle. The rest is history. The relatives and friends could hardly wait for the "unveiling".....& when I showed them the HUGE SHAMROCK, they were all shocked. I waited a couple minutes before I showed them the REAL tattoo.

If you're thinking of getting a tattoo, realize that you'll have it forever. You can change your mind but it's not a piece of cake. I worked in the medical field and we had patients who went through a lot physically, mentally and financially...to have the tattoos removed.

BTW....This year I turned 70. Would you like to see my huge 70th BD tattoo???
And just wait 'til my 80th!!!! :)

[DougB]

My father had a tattoo. He was from a family of Rolls-Royce dealers in Philadelphia who lost everything in the depression. He went to Valley Forge Military Academy, then to Johns Hopkins. The tattoo was an anchor on his upper arm. He was never in the military. We kids never thought much about it at the time, would only see it in the summer. But now I wonder about its story.

I recently had "Diabetic" with the medical symbol tattooed on the underside is my right wrist. I have never complied with wearing the medical bracelets and necklaces. I also have the outline of a Shar Pei on my ankle ( as I grow older and develop "kankles" the Shar Pei will look more realistic.

I have thought of having the acupressure spots that relieve my pain tattooed with a small star or something so I could find the right spot quick and easy without the acupressure person and hubby could press on the spots that are on my shoulder and I can't reach. She circles the spots with a sharpie when I go but they don't stay long.

[Barefoot]

Either a butterfly or dolphin on my shoulder. Or a bracelet around one wrist.

[BarryRX]

My older sister had a dove tattooed on her arm with the word "love" under it when she was 18. Now it's a pterodactyl and it says "loooooove". But seriously, the only difference between people with tats and those without is that people with tats don't look down on us we because we don't have them.

Apparently women over 40 are the fastest growing demographic for tattoos. Presumably these women gets small, tasteful tattoos in areas that don't sag too much. I doubt they're getting tramp stamps!

Once tattoos were just for sailors on leave. Now they're main stream. I would personally love to get a tatt, but I'm chicken ... afraid of blood diseases and pain. Otherwise I'd be out getting that butterfly tattoo on my shoulder.

OK Gracie, where did you get the picture of me, and how long did it take you to do all the coloring?

I think you feel the same way about tatts that I feel about face piercing ... truly horrible. I don't know where you find these pictures, but that was not quite what I meant by a small, tasteful tattoo! :D I was thinking one inch square, not five feet tall! Anyway, I think I've passed "my best before date" for risky behavior. I don't think I'd ever be sure the Tattoo Parlour was clean enough.

Strangest tattoo I ever saw was a few years ago while at a baseball game (Bowie Baysox). Anyone know where that would be?

Anyhow, a young guy in his late 20's or so had a tattoo on the calf of his leg that pretty much covered the whole calf. It was the Tasmanian Devil cartoon character with a butcher knife holding Bugs Bunny's decapitated head that was dripping blood. Oh yeah, it was in full color. I bet his Mom was proud of her son.

When I was about 10 or 11, I begged my mom to let me wear blue jeans. Her answer was "When I was your age, only poor people wore blue jeans." I then asked her if she voted for Abe Lincoln for president. Then I was grounded for one week. :(

When I was 13, I begged my mom to let me get my ears pierced. Her answer was "If God had wanted you to have holes in you ear lobes, he would have put them there." It took me about 6 months, but I finally wore her down, and I was able to get my ears pierced. :). Of course my younger sisters did not have to go through this drama.

When I was 25, my roommate and I committed the ultimate act of rebellion -- we both got our ears pierced for a second time. We certainly lived on the edge, LOL.

When I was in my 20's, I so wanted a rose tattoo on my left breast. I never did it and am now glad because that cute little rose would now be a l...o...n...g...
stemmed rose!
However, am now considering a rose bracelet tat with a string of roses to my middle finger and a rose ring. At least at this age, I wouldn't have to worry about any ore sagging!

[2BNTV]

I think to each his/her own, in the wanting of a tatoo.

For me, I never had one and never will.

My son's grandmother took care of that situation by making it very clear she didn't want him to have log hair, (unkempt in her opinion), and defintely, No tatoo's.

So far, it has worked spendidly. :smiley:

I always smile when a person puts a beloved's name on their arm, (other than Mom), and they wind up getting a divorce. Two very painful reminders. :D

I do not understand why anyone would want to get a tattoo. It is so permanent; even marriage is not that permanent.

[getdul981]

I have never had any desire whatsoever for a tatoo. The girl that used to cut my hair hair had a tatoo and she told me something that I have thought was just outstanding as far as why people should not get one. She said that a friend of hers asked her why she would put a bumper sticker on a Lamborhini? Pretty good analogy I think.

Our son has full legs and not quite full sleeves. He hasn't added any for a while. I am hoping he is done. He teaches Sunday School and when in shirt and tie, nothing shows. Which is nice, because some people do really make judgements that are very outdated regarding people with tats.

Yours looks great!!!!!

Still lusting after football players with tats. Hopeless but for the grace of God..

If I got a tattoo?? it would be on my husband! :thumbup:
I am too big a wuss.
Our friends in Orlando have a tat parlour, Stigma Tattoo Bar and keep asking when we are coming in for our tats :)

I got a tattoo a few weeks ago right before I moved to TV in memory of my late husband. It hurt but not too much.

I'm now a villager but still settling in. Unpacking and more unpacking.
