A sense of humor is a great blessing in this life.

I will get a tattoo when Princess Kate gets one. I was gonna say the Queen but she is such an old sourpuss.

Get ready Kate is on the news now getting roses on her lower back.
I can make you a appointment if you need...

Or is it going to be a cold day before that happens. heheheheheheheh

GaryW. You know I think the world of you. How about a nice decal?

Gracie Girl, I'm with you. I do not like seeing tattoos of any type on anyone. That's my opinion. Why not just decorate your body with temporary tattoos -no disease risk and you can change them.

Here you go Gracie, you're next.
First she was impressed with this gentleman's body art, then she went for her own...

I currently live in the Panhandle of Florida. I have had occasion to know more than a few mothers of varying ages. Most of these mothers are very short of funds for basiic needs. I cannot comprehend why a mother will go out and spend three to five hundred dollars on tattoos when their dependent children do without diapers, shoes, a real bed, a few toys, lights on in the house, running water and food.

I realize most Villager's children are grown ao they have the means to pay for extras. But because of what I have seen, I automatically link tattoos with desperate self involvement. What would be less expensive is to buy a sign to hang around the neck that says, "Look at me, please!" Many of these women are very attractive so it is doubly hard to understand. I can't help my feelings on this subject

I don't know if this is the best time to say we are moving to The Village of Buttonwood October 1! I am so happy to be a good neighbor to the tatted and untatted among us!

I like it a lot.

My dad had an American Flag Tatooed on him and as the years went by it turned into what looked like a burn scar. Good luck to all those butterflies.

We aren't talking tramp stamps at the age of 22 here!
If a retired lady gets a tasteful tattoo on her wrist, I think there is a good chance that it will remain a butterfly as years go by.

Another reason NOT to get a ttatoo:

1 Corinthians 6:19 - What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?


Leviticus 19:28 - Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I [am] the LORD.

If you get a tattoo, you need to make sure you are using a artist that is great at the trade. For the most part, if a tattoo fades really quick or turns to like scare tissue usually the artist dug into the skin to much. Bright colors fade real quick if out in the sun alot. Mine are black and grey for that reason.

You get what you pay for, cheap tattoo is just that. Always research the shop and artist you are using.

No need to turn this thread into what you should do and should not do by religion or what someone thinks. The thread is asking for tattoo shop recommendations. If one wants a tattoo then by all means get one.

So Gary? You just kinda look all dirty?

(Hey gang, Gary is the best and I absolutely respect his judgment, but on this subject, I have to kid him a little.) How about this tattoo, y'all?
