Do you have a tatoo?

United States
April 26, 2009 10:02am CST
I am thinking I will get one. I have had an idea for years and am still attracted to it, so I don't think it would be a bad idea. I would get it on the left side of my upper back. It is this dead tree I found while on a hike outside of Taipei City that has stuck with me for a long time. Would you get one? Do you have one? What would you get? Or what do you have?

No i don't have a tattoo. i believe that body is sacred. Therefore, we should take good care of it. we shouldn't do things that can harm/destroy our bodies. Eventhough some colleagues in the office are pushing me to get a tatoo, i still prefer not to have one. if you would like to have a tattoo, make sure to get it done at tattoo centers that have business and sanitary permits. if you have pre-existing disease, consult first with your doctor.

I don't have a tatoo now,and I don't want to have one in future,even in my whole life time.I think having a tatoo is very painful.Although many people tell me it is not so painful to have one, I am still scared about that.I recognize that I am not a brave woman, not brave enough to have a tatoo in my body!But I don't think having a tatoo is a bad idea cause tatoo has become a fashion now.

I don't have any tattoo. I don't really like tattoo. I think it's just a matter of taste. I would not mind to have friends with tattoo but don't expect that I will put one as well on my body. Have a nice day!

Nope I do not have one and at 44 years of age I highly doubt I ever will. I would not want to go through that pain and don't want to mark up my skin and body. Plus I would be afraid that when I am old that the Tatoo will look really wierd and nasty as my skin starts to shrivel up. It's just not worth the pain to me to get one.

Well I guess I'm the odd ball here . I have 3 tatts and want to get 1 or 2 more small ones . I think of them as a form of art , and self expression . I didn't get my fist one till I was 40 years old . I took my kids for their first tattoos when they turned 21 years old. If you keep thinking about one , why not try to get it done? If it was me , I would put it in a place where not everyone is going to see it unless you want them to , a place you could cover up if you needed to . And the ones that hurt the most are the ones put on boney areas , like feet, ankles , and backs . Think of it this way , if they hurt soo much you wouldn't see soo many people have them would ya? ..

I have been wanting to get one as well but not yet. I have some small ideas about what types of ones I would like to get. But I also think about this when thinking of tattoos, this is something I will have forever because I would never have one removed also I was told since I want to lose a lot of weight that I should wait until I have done so. For me either way I feel that a few are cool but if you start getting a whole bunch for me that does not look right. But this is my opinion only some people really enjoy having a lot of tattoos. I want to get at least 2 tatts one that represents my dad and another that represents my daughters so thats my plan and I have thought about getting some type od design with my name and some kinda of unqiue symbol. Either way I am still waiting for now and soon here in the future I am sure I will get at least one of them:)

I don't have a tattoo and have no plans of getting one. I have nothing against tattoos or people who sport them but I'm just not a fan of tattoos. I do appreciate the art though.

No, I don't have a tattoo and I am not going to have one in the future. It is painful and I don't think it really looks cool. If I like to have one, I would like to have the tattoo which is like a sticker. It will be on your skin for a few days. So I can remove it anytime I like and it's better. A real tattoo can't be removed and when you grow old, it may look worse since your skin is loosing at that time. I love China

Hello friend. I don't have a tatoo. Nor do I expect to have one. I have a colleague who has got one. He got it when he was young. Now he wanted to remove it, but found it hard to, as a result he has damaged that part of skin on his arm.
