Do you want more? I have 2 that I got when I was around 18 yrs old. I would like more but doubt I will get any because I am fearful of diseases. I do realize they are careful but I know that only one mistake could mean my life. I do think tattos are great though.

Wow, I hadn't heard about any diseases that you need to be aware of when getting a tattoo. I guess with the needles and stuff like it could be dangerous. I don't have any tattoos, but all of my sisters and brothers do. I always thought that it would be cool to have a cartoon of mickey mouse riding a Harley Davidson with a black leather jacket like the Fonz with his thumb up. I just thought, if I were ever going to get a tattoo that was what it would be. At least I can always dream. Thanks for starting this interesting discussion, it sounds as if you have given me some research to do. Have a great day!

Ahhhh that sounds like a cute tattoo. I think as long as they open the needle in front of you and put the ink in individual containers you should be safe. I worry more then most people lol. You can ask friends where they went or ask the owners what procedures they use for cleanliness. I did get the 2 when I was younger and I didn't get any diseases. It's just when you donate blood they make you wait a certain period before your even allowed to donate to make sure you didn't get anything. Worst case scenario if a dirty needle was used someone could get HIV or Hepatitus but the chances are slim to none.

I have three and I'm getting another one soon. It can be dangerous to get tattoos but only if you get it done at a dive. A lot of places are certified tattoo parlors so they have to meet with health code standards. Those are the places you want to go to.

I have three tattoos so far, and yes I definately want more. I plan to be covered eventually. First tattoo was a triquetra on my right shoulder to symbolize my connection with the Goddess. My second tattoo was the Seal of the Necromicon on my left shoulder. The third tattoo was the OM in a lotus blossom on my right foot to remind me to always walk in right thought and action daily.
