Do you have tattoos? If so how many do you have? Do they have any special meanings behind why you go that tattoo? If you dot have a tattoo would you get one and where would you put it? The friday before Christmas I went and got my first tattoo ever. I don't think I'll get another at all. This one tattoo has lots of meaning behind it. It's a reminder of the bad and good that has happened in my life but to msotoy remind ms of the good that I have lost in my licks. My husband has two tattoos. Both mean something to him. The new one is the same as what I have. My us and is going to get more tattoos he is planning on the next 4 and I think he is dine after that.

I would never be able to get a tattoo, I am a big baby when it comes to things like that, needles and pain but it would be nice to have one little tattoo with a lot of meaning I think.

Depending on where the tattoo is will determine if it'll hurt. I got one on my chest close to my collar bone it didn't hirt that much. If can give birth to a baby then you can handle any kind of pain. Any where with a big mucsle will hurt like back of legs, you ribs and stomach.

There are places where you wont feel it. Never go alone incase but it can be fun to watch others get it done. It only really hurts when you get tattoos colored that means big time blood and pain.

I do not have tattoos. People who have tattoos like to express their personality when they have tattoos. My first impression with people with tattoo before is that they are strong just like those jail people at the movies I watched before. When I was young, I used to avoid people with tattoos because I get afraid on them easily. I used to think they will bully me or hurt me. That is just my impression anyway. I respect people that have tattoos because that is what they want to do with their life, it a sense that it is their life anyway. I do not have tattoos obviously because that is permanent ink, it will be hard to erase. I rather keep my skin clean with all this ink. There are celebrities who have tattoos and when they are wearing gown during a celebrity gathering, they have the people’s attention because of their tattoos at the back, near the chest, or legs or even at the arms. It is good when you are aiming for attention, but I really feels they are ruining their skin. That is just my view. If it looks good on them then that is their thing and I wish to respect that.

I would never put a name on my body unless it was my kids names on my body. I have a litte feet print because of the baby I lost and the word loved so both me and my husband have the same one. People thin that tattoos are drity but really you won't get sick if it's done by the right person and done at at certified places. All tattoo and piecing places must be pieced an regulate regular. The places we go to gets check ones a month as well as secret people come in part of the state law where I live. So you can always see there scores. Always check out a places before getting anything done even just getting ears done or people you know getting then as well. I always think a tattoo should have a reason to be on you and not b ause it's just cool.

Thank you ShyBear88. It's not dirty to get a tattoo unless you go to a dirty place! You need to do research when it comes to anything! Putting names on your body (unless it is your kids) is extremely stupid! Especially a boyfriend! I had my husband's name on me & I had to get it covered when we split.

My husband and I did lots of researching before we found the right places. We have pieced professionals up here and if you to places that isn't you don't want anything done. They should show you the pack is swapped air tight. I got my belly done at the same place that did my tattoo. It's still looks good healthing still b ause it takes months and not weeks for a belly button. My tattoo it's only taking a week to heal no issues with it. My husband got two down by them. We have food print to symbol the lose of our second child. We didn't know what we were having since I wasn't far enough along so we got loved to remind of that we loved this baby and still do. Our children is our would and I don't have just one child two because I know the one I lost is always with me. All of his tattoos have meaning behind them but my name is no where on him.

For a scone I thought you wanted to get th coldplay tattoo because of the band itself. I have one on my chest with little foot print with the word loved under it. It is to remind me of the baby is just recently lost last week so it helped me to move one.

I dont have a tatoo, but i really really really want one. If i decided to make one, I definetaly tatoo my forearm with some trendy fonted word or something like that. I also like tatoos on the shoulder, it looks so very solid :) Although I want a tatoo really bad, I remember about a thing called PAIN. :D It's shakes my need of a tatoo. Maybe, but just maybe, in the future, if my finaces going to let me, I will get a tatoo :)

Depending on where your get it done it will depend on the pain where said you want them won't hurt that about at all. I have one on my chest and it hurt a little bit but not that much compared to other physical pain. I have two littl foot print on my chest which reminds me of h miscarriage I had.

I do not have tattoo. I ever saw people under making tattoo and screaming at the pain. I know I will never like having tattoo, it is too painful. I wish I have enough courage, I would give it try.

The pain really depends on where you get it at. I got one on my chest and it didn't Hirt as mug as I thought it would. It didn't even come close to being in labor. The more work done in the stop the more it'll hurt and take to heal. My husband as two and is getting more. The pain of out tattoo is no where near the pain in my heart.

No I don't have any tattoos but to be perfectly honest I always wanted one. The thing is I am not big on pain or needles either for that matter, but if ever I was brave enough to get one I always wanted to get a beautiful, colorful butterfly on my ankle. I was watching a movie once & this is what the girl in the movie had. I thought it was so beautiful that I had wanted to get one too.

It wouldn't hurt if you got a tattoo on your ankle they hurt where there is a big muscles like back of the legs, stomach, ribs. The one on my chest didn't hurt much pushing a baby out hurt more then my tattoo.

I won't think of having any tattoo in my body even if I am given the chance to have. It's better not to have, It will only ruin your image thus, for others it is an art and still I respect that. ^_^ But, for those who love tattoos just make sure that what is printed in your body must be correct. Sometimes tattoo artist tend to have false/mistakes..thank you

They only make mistakes if you don't correct them or do the research if your getting something in another laugause. For the person putting the tattoo on it's an art to them one that you make a great living off of. I don't think it's wrong for a person to have a tattoo or not. It's a little painful that will go away with in an hour and if you take care of like anything else it'll always look goof and you will always be pleased with it. A tattoo isn't always for ever it can be removed or covered over depending on where you put it. The tattoo I have isn't messed up at all it was done every well by a licened professional. They are two little foot print that says loved because I had a miscarriage for my second pregnancy. I wants to remember the good and the bad but mostly the good part about how happy I was to be a mommy again.
