hello my lotters! my sister got her back tattooed with a butterfly. she even encourage me to have a tattoo also, and that its ok and wont hurt. for my fashion statement.. but im confused what if im already old and my skins all sugged?! i cant figure out what it may look! and im a mom, what if my kids will be needing blood donation?! which i dont like to happen....i cant even give to them even i like too..... but the thought that its a design, fashion which nowadays everybody is liking to have imprinted in ones body..... what if i give it a shot?! maybe a chinese character of my name printed downward at the back part of my ear... but theres just one problem.... how my work?! maybe just a design at my toe, tribal could be.... you guys, what tattoo design and where body part you want it to be printed?

I wouldn't advise my sister or wife to get a tattoo, because I feel their actual skin is much more beautiful. If there weren't any health consequences, including transfusion, I still wouldn't urge anyone to get tattoos. Your sister is only giving her opinion, and I don't think you should follow her. Your family comes first and the poor decisions you make that might affect them should be avoided. Idolize yourself and your body, because tattoos look ugly on any women. I feel beauty is already there for women, and tattoos look too masculine on their skin. Wish this solves your decision.

True that having tattoos does raises these concerns. But if the person like to have one for its aesthetic value then that is fine. But if it is in the context of the relationships in a family then it should be a matter to be discussed.

I've always wanted a tribal design on my back and on my arms, like what Randy Orton have but not exactly like it. I like it spreading all over my arm like a shirt. I don't know if you've seen the drummer of Audioslave, I want something like it.

I once planned to have a tattoo of an angel or wings on my hip. But sooner after that, I changed my mind. So, I still have no tattoo on any part of my body. Why did I cancel it? I still haven't found the answer. I just forgot about it until I read this discussion. :P Thx for reminding me.

i dont like to have any permanent tattoo on my body, i just want the henna tattoo. henna can stay for a while in your body and the good thing about is there is no needle used and your blood wont be affected. its like painting in your body but not easily removed and can last up to several weeks. but whenever i got a tattoo, i would like an angel on my upper right back or my initial at the back of my ear with stars. im not sure with this but i think someone told me that you can still give blood donation after 5 years. but like i said, im not sure better ask the doctors

oh.. i think i will never ever put tattoo in my body.. besides i am a bit of a fickleminded person, hence what i like to put in my body now might not be what i want in a couple of weeks or months, perhaps. hehe

A nice butterfly on the back of my shoulder would be nice. But I do not think I will ever have the courage to get a tattoo. As you implied, there are so many things to consider and I guess I would just regret getting one in the end. So I am okay with just wondering what it would be like to have a tattoo. Cheers!

yeah true, the reason why i haven't gotten myself a tattoo until now is because i fear i might not like it anymore after a few years or after some time...i'm scared i might regret it . but i've been wanting to get a tattoo for ages... i'd like to have something unique, something different, preferrably on my back, upper or lower...so it would be possible to hide it with clothes if the situation calls for it.... i can't decide for anyone about getting a tattoo... but i advice you really have to think about it to avoid future regrets :)

Recieving a tattoo is a very personal decision which, for some people, is something beautiful, but has got its own risks. So if you decide to have one done, first of all you have to examin the place of work where they put the tatoos: which kind of needles do they use? Is the place clean, desinfected? Many questions have to be answered before having it done. I personally don't like tattoos and I don't have one anywhere. I am also a mother and wouldn't like to see my children with a tattoo. But also I don't want to descriminate to anybody who likes them. So, if you are not sure, first inquire about all the information you need to know and get resolved all your doubts before you get it done, because a tattoo is for the rest of your life. So you have to be sure of it, once you get it on your skin. As I understood, there exists a special system by laser to get them of again, but it might be complicated.

Well, i already have a tattoo on my body. I have an eagle on my forearm. I got printed it on my body about three years ago. I want to tell you that it pains but a considerable amount of pain. And some blood may also come out of it. But i will suggest you to not to have a tattoo as after some time it does not look good on your body. Happy mylotting. Regards, harry.

Fashionwise, it would be great. i would like to put the designed letters of my kids. But thinking of the disadvantages, i think it's a no no. You're right. You can't donate blood and it's permanent on your skin, even if you want to remove it, it will leave a scar. :-)
