Thoughts on Tattoos...

I think they're cool as long as they don't cover up your whole body like those in jail LOL I don't have any but if ever I could have one, it would be just a little one on my back :)

I think its a form of self expression. I have two myself and would like to get one more and the one in between my shoulder blades fixed because its soo faded. I dont see anything wrong with tattoo's. I think people should keep them to their body and not on their face, but who am I to judge? I think that people are way to judgmental of people with tattoos and piercings. They always think that they are bad or have no direction. I know plenty of people with piercings and tatoos all over there body that are seriously the nicest people in the world. Granted I would never pierce anything but my nose, but thats my decision and what other people do to their bodies does not hurt me. Oh wait I have to admit that I did have my tounge pierced at one point but that was years ago and I would not get it redone. Okay Im babbling because I havent had enough coffee, but I think alot of that tattoo art people have is beautiful. And the most common complaint I have heard from people with them all over is that they dont want to look at it...Well then dont look at it..LOL...Its not burning your retina's or doing any bodily harm to you so just leave it alone and ignore it if you dont like! Who knows...it will be a debate that will go on forever..lol..Oh well :)

I look at my body as a canvas and my tattoos are the art that fills the blank. I am close to being sleeved on both arms and have a bunch of smaller ones in vrious other parts of my body.

I think tattoo is pretty cool. But I don't have one. Im quite moody. So Im afraid if I getting one, I can't get it erased when I get bored. I don't think of it as a self mutilation but I think I agree with the self expression. Self expressions through drawing..on your body. As long as people don't have tattoo all over their body coz it will lost its beauty..it's even turn out into scary and people can think that u're escaping from prison. Or criminal.

Not at the moment,but I donn't think I will have one in the future.Just because I am afraid of the pain.My old sister has one ,I asked whether it felt pain ,she smiled at me:not at all .But , I still cann't stand it.

It's definitely art and people have the right to do it no matter how many they have. A lot of tattoos have personal and sentimental meaning to them.

For the most part I am a firm believer that tats ARE in fact a form of art and expression..HOWEVER there are those few ppl who get them to be "cool" or "because so and so got one" which to be perfectly honest, drives me up the wall especially when a few yrs down the road they regret what they've done and whine about it AND take the position that tats are stupid, a mistake etc etc..LOL whatever I suppose.. I DO have tats, only two right now..had them for about 8 yrs or so and I WILL be getting more as soon as money allows :-D Do I still like them? Yes I do..Both are small and on my upper left arm..the ones I'll be getting in the future will be considerably larger and in various places on my body..The end result will be my body being my lifes storybook....

I think there are some beautiful tattoos out there. However, I would never get one. I don't want to mark myself with a bunch of ink that is going to be on my body permanently. Nor would I want to go through the pain of getting one to begin with. And I hate wasting money on myself, so that would be another reason why I wouldn't get one. IF I were to get one, I would get the temporary type as those at least wash off. I've had a few of these and always liked the fact that I can change the tattoo any time I want and it hardly costs anything! I love it!

I am afraid of needles and surely tattoos wont be for me.

i have a tattoo, the chinese letter S on my "underbelly" i love it, i don't have it that long, like 4 months or so. but i still love it and i don't think i'll ever regret it. my bestfriend is making one for me, she's a real good artist and she knows how to draw so i'm letting her make one for me. it's gonna be a butterfly for on my enkle, it stands for freedom and love. i don't think tattoo's are a form of self-mutilation. i think it's something to make you body prettier. and if people want tattoo's, sure they have to think about it very good, but i think that it's there problem if they don't like it, and that if they want one, go for it. :)

I think it depends on the person as an individual.Most people take tattoo's because they like them or because they want to have a symbol for their loved ones. But i don't know if you can call it self-mutilation for those who are depressed or actually are mutilating thereselves maybe it is self mutilation when they take tattoo's but i don't think there are lot of people who do that.

I'm not that big on tattoos. I don't mind looking at them and if any prefer the ones that are only black not the ones with colours in them as they fade from what I've seen. And the other thing is they look better on the body where you can cover them up if need be. But everyone to their own I think.

i think tattoos are an artform, expressing one's individuality. I don't have any though I'd want one as soon as I come up with a unique and really cool design, something I won't regret being on me until I die. There are down points to having tattoos; you can't donate blood.

I think tattoos are an art form. I like them. I have 2 and would like to get maybe 2 more. The last ones I got I was 18 so that was 13 yrs ago lol.

In response to what you asked earlier...of course I have my ears pierced also and would like a few more in my ears..LOL...I guess I dont consider my ears as a part of my face! :)

i think they're alright but its going to be a little ridiculous in the near future when everyone's grandpa has full sleeves.
