As a tattoo is generally a symbol or image of some sort that remains on the body forever, would you get one done?

I know some people get tattoo's of the name of their lover for example. What would happen if you break up and their name remains on your body?? I have heard they can be removed but is it worth the hassle and pain in the first place?

I think that I will never, never get a tattoo on my body. It's not good for me to have such tattoos because I know that my body is not mine, and I can't do anything I want to do. My body, and my soul was purchased by blood - the blood that is shed on Calvary to pay for my sins. Aside from that, I think that having a tattoo doesn't increase our wealth, so why bother!lol

Thanks for the response. Sounds like you are very strongly against getting a tattoo.

Amen to that learn! The bible clearly states that though shalt you shall not make any cuttings in your flesh on account of the dead or tatoo any marks upon you (leviticus 19:28) Even if the bible did not say it, I HATE TATOOS! I think its disgusting and horrible that people put themselves through that torture. Besides I also have issues with needles so.. No thanks to tatoos for me...

No I don't like this tattoo idea at all. No matter how beautiful or ugly is the tatto, I don't feel any attraction for them. It is a real waste of time and damaging of body. One can really achive something better for so much hassle and pain. Still I am not against it.....If young generations likes it....let them enjoy it.....happy


myLot reputation of 98/100. UK_Shree (1867)   ranked 86 out of 19,281 in questions & answers  3 years ago

Seeing as you would never actually want one for yourself I think it is quite nice that you are open to other people getting one done. Thanks for responding.

Personally, I'm not really a fan of tattoos. Although years ago I did want a small tattoo of a ladybug on my ankle but never went through with it. Tattoos are an art and a form of self expression but they are not for everyone. I'm not a fan of needles and I worry about infection so I will probably never have a tattoo. I know many people who have tattoos and some regret doing this to their body while the others just love them. How about you? Do you have a tattoo or will you get one? Have a great day and happy posting.


myLot reputation of 98/100. UK_Shree (1867)   ranked 86 out of 19,281 in questions & answers  3 years ago

No I do not have a tattoo. I was thinking about getting one a long time ago on my shoulder but didn't do it in the end as I was unsure about the whole thing to begin with.

I know some people who have several tattoos and are really proud of them. I guess it is a very personal thing.

nope..i will never get any tattoo at all.it's doesn't look nice at all.why you want to suffer just to have image carve to your skin..i don't think it look any beautiful,actually i think it look quite ugly!imagine when you become old,isn't the tattoo will look horrible to your aging skin!plus why bother to do any tattoo if you decided to remove it later..much better you just paste the fake tattoo instead of permanent tattoo..


myLot reputation of 98/100. UK_Shree (1867)   ranked 86 out of 19,281 in questions & answers  3 years ago

I suppose having a tattoo done is a very personal thing. I do agree that tattoos on certain parts of the body do not look good when the skin starts to show age. Thanks for responding.

No, I am not even the least bit interested. I do not like needles, do not like the look either. I also keep imagining what it would look like when the body part got old, wrinkled, and saggy? That would look kind of scary.


myLot reputation of 98/100. UK_Shree (1867)   ranked 86 out of 19,281 in questions & answers  3 years ago

Yes certain parts of the human body do tend to 'sag' more than others and I can imagine that a tattoo on those parts would not be very flattering after reaching a certain age!

i have never had any desire to have a tatoo. never rally have understood why people want to mark their body up that way but to each his own,


myLot reputation of 98/100. UK_Shree (1867)   ranked 86 out of 19,281 in questions & answers  3 years ago

Yes it is a very personal matter whether or not to have a tattoo.

Hi,
I do have a tattoo. It is a small black scorpion on the back of my right shoulder blade.
I have always said that I'd never get a name for the reason that you mentioned. Most people fall in love and think it will just last. But that is not realistic. No one knows what will be 5 or 10 years from now.
Mine did not hurt. I know it does depend where you have yours done.
Also you should pick something that will always be true. I got a scorpion for my birth sign. That won't ever change but if I got a teddy bear and later thought it was too juvenile, I'd just be stuck with it.
You can cover it up with a new tattoo or get it lazered off but it is just better to pick something constant so you don't have to think about that.


myLot reputation of 98/100. UK_Shree (1867)   ranked 86 out of 19,281 in questions & answers  3 years ago

Sounds like you made a sensible and well thought out choice with the image of your tattoo. I have heard that the amount of pain suffered depends on which body part you get tattooed - apparently the small of the back is meant to be an absolute killer!

8. myLot reputation of 98/100. soleya (607)   3 years ago

No, not me. I have never really understood this tattoo idea. And I hate the fact that it is really going to last all your life. I don't know if I will love the same person in 10 years or will I love the other symbol I have chosen when I was 16 when I will be 50. So, no. I rather go for henna tattoo if I really wanted to have some ornament on my skin ;)


myLot reputation of 98/100. UK_Shree (1867)   ranked 86 out of 19,281 in questions & answers  3 years ago

I think that is the scariest part of having a tattoo - that in a number of years you may change your mind.

Personally, I don't ever want a tattoo. If other people want to, that's fine and I think some people have beautiful tattoos. But I don't want anything that permanently changes my body. And some people are just covered with them! I think that looks rather strange but if they enjoy their body art, more power to them!


myLot reputation of 98/100. UK_Shree (1867)   ranked 86 out of 19,281 in questions & answers  3 years ago

It's great that you are so open-minded about the whole tattoo concept! Thanks a bunch for responding!

I dont think I will. But when i was in high school, I really wanted to have one. Its just that its not allowed in our school and my parents wi surely be furious if i will have one. What i did, was to once in a while put henna tattoo especailly on special occasions. I was thinking also when I was in college to have a tattoo at my lower back waistline. I did not pursue it because i heard some friends who had tattoos saying that how painful it is.


myLot reputation of 98/100. UK_Shree (1867)   ranked 86 out of 19,281 in questions & answers  3 years ago

Yes I believe that depending on which part of the body you want it on, it can be very painful.
