How many tattoos do you have? Are all of them symbolic? Where were you inked? I don't have any tattoo but I dream of getting one.

Well tattoo's lets see where to start. Shall i start with how they are a great thing to get i personally have three of them one that you see in my pic for mylot and then i have one on my chest that one hurt alot but they only reason it hurt is cause it touches my collur bone and then i have the other two that are on each of my arms. Yes all my tatto's have meaning to them one of my tattoo's is my sons name foot print and date of birth that one is on my chest then i have the one on my left arm that has a meaning of strenght and unity with in myself and the one on my right arm the meaning behind that one is many dif things i can say that it is very close to me cause of what it mostly stands for the other meaning behind it is that is quickness like a snake when it bites you and i got them here in minnesota USA. bigman

Hi there Bigman! Thank you very much for your response. I think that it's great that all of them have personal meanings to you. I love your baby's footprint tattoo the most. Is it expensive to get inked in your area?

it all depends on where you go some places charge by the hour and that cost like $150 an hour and some places charge by the size of the tattoo but the person i go through is cheap for the two that he did he only charged me 60 for the one then he was not going to charge me for my sons footprint but i told my buddy to give him 40 for it anyways.

I have 4 tattoos at the moment and am getting my 5th a week Wednesday. All my tattoos have a meaning specifically for me. My next one is going to be two tribal dragons face to face creating a heart like shape, it's going to be a living tribute to my dad who we have just discovered is dying from lung cancer. I suffer from severe depression and my other tattoos remind me that I am loved. (tribal heart), that I can overcome difficult times (butterfly), that I can keep strong (elephant with afrikaans writing meaning keep strong) and that my family care (2 outer hearts (mum and dad) with three inner hearts (the kids). My previous four are on my arms but my next one will be a back piece. I love being inked and will only get inked if the tattoos have meaning for me. I do not agree with having "fashionable" tattoos as they are often the regretable ones.

Hi there Terriann! I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. But those are really beautiful reasons behind tattoos. I hope that you'll get exactly how you want it and safely too. Well, seems that you're already a pro regarding this matter. Thank you very much for your response. I will pray for your dad and your family.

Currently I don't have any but I'm looking into a few. Think you gotta find the right one before you get any so I'm gonna take a while to decide.

Hi there! Yes, you're right. Just how long you have though of getting a tattoo, it should also take as long or longer to choose what kind of tattoo to have. It should be something that will always be symbolic to you no matter what changes will come into your life. Good luck in finding the perfect one and thank you very much for your response.

Hi there Professor 2010! Thank you very much for your response. I understand. I also know other people who feel that way about getting a tattoo.

Not having anything against it, per se, I would not get inked. Specifically, there is an issue with what Johns used to do their 'girls' and it makes me uncomfortable to see women excessively stamped. To each their own, of course.

Hi there Wunderland! That's perfectly fine. What's the issue all about? Sorry, I haven't heard of it. Thanks for your response.
