Have you been INKED?

Yes I have 2 tattoo's. The first was my name written in Thai script on my left upper arm and I had that done about 15 years ago. I then decided that I wanted another one on my right arm but never really saw a design that I liked. After a 2 year wait I finally decided to design my own tattoo and see if it could be done. Knowing that 6 months after having the 2nd tattoo done I would be emergrating to Thailand, I had the map of Thailand tattoo'don my upper right arm and underneath it written in Thai script again, the words "The land of smiles" Curvedto make a smiling mouth. This tattoo I wanted in colour. Have I had regrets... No! In fact I have been very well accepted by the Thai people when they see my tattoo's and they relise that I have respect for their country, King, culture and themselves. However, they are not accepted to be had by a teacher in a Thai school, so I had to make sure they were well covered and never seen by the children. Would I have any more... No I don't think so. I think I have just enough.

Yes, I have 2 tattoos. My first one I got when I was 21, not long after my eldest daughter was born. It is a winged horse (Pegasus) at the top of my left arm. Then about 6 years ago, I got a tattoo at the top of my right arm - a Faerie Aisha Neopet (a cat with wings). I like them both and don't regret having them. I don't think I will get any more though, because I passed out the second time and it took a while to get me back, then I was sick!

No ink, but if I were going to get a tattoo, it would be some small, feminine thing, in a place that could be covered up...

My first tattoo, was when I was 19, to show my patriotism for mine country, it is a red and black maple leaf on the back and right side of my neck, the only regret there being I later found out, that a good Christian shouldn't mar their body with markings. My second tattoo, still before I learned enough about Christianity to be called a Christian, is of a Tiger and and Dragon, circling each other around a yellow and green yin yang, as a symbol of balance between wisdom and power. I got it as a graduating present to myself from college, waste of money, but done never the less, if you want to see, I believe they are both in the "My Photo's" section here on MyLot in my profile. Sincerely and With Appreciation.

dear dora, when i was little my parents have told me that it is not nice and only convicts do have them. so i never liked the idea of tattoo. but nowadays, it is fad and called an art. i like looking at some but definitely not on me. have a nice day. ann

Nope, I never did think to ink - hee hee!! When I was growing up, my friends would talk about the images they wanted to get tattooed on them one day . . . I've always been a complex person, so I could never think of one "symbol" or picture that would represent anything that I'd want permanently on my body. And I still feel the same way. So let me ask you if I may . . . why did you pick the images you picked? And did it hurt?

dorannmwin Nope I have never been inked or had a tattoo of any kind so guess I am a stickin the mud but tattoos never really appealed to me either. No I do not think I would ever have one as for one thing they look painful to have done to one'self. and too I just do not like the idea of picture on my. I am a person not a bulletin board for goodness sakes. to each his own ,if others like them fine, i just dont like them on me. h e he he.

Hi, dorannmwin. No, I have never been inked before. I would like to get one going down towards my lower back, but I am getting second thoughts about it. I don't want to get a tattoo that I may be stuck with forever as I get older. I am kind of worried about my skin as I am into an older age.

I don't have any tattoos and never will. I have never even thought about it. For me, I don't like them. However for other people I think a few is alright. Anything more is just too much in my book.

I only have one tattoo and it is a red eyed tree frog on my right ankle. I got it probably 4 years ago when I was 23 or so but being I am a severe diabetic and it was so far down on my leg that is took three times as long to heal and so I decided that one was enough for me....

Yep, I have one tattoo, of a daisy signifying that I am loved (loves me, loves me not) to always remind myself that I am loved, no matter how I am feeling. I want more, I'm going to get stars put somewhere (location not decided) for when I accomplish a few of my goals.

yes i have ink and i regret it on some level. not because i don't like tattoos but because now i have better idea of what i want. my next one will be on my calf, when i finish my concept and when i have enough money to get it.
