What's wrong with having a tattoo?

Yes, that is my ink there.
It's been 8 years now when I had it. It's one of my dreams to have one back in college. But during those days, since I study Criminology, ink is not allowed so I did it when I started working as a Call Center Agent. The one who did that is one of my friend who happens to be an artist, he paints and he is very talented. I did not pay for that instead I treat him for drinks.
It was made for 3 days because of the pain plus it's small.
I tried it in the back but it's hurt so I decided to have it in my arm.
Before I want to add more, in my wrist, a moon, and 3 stars. A symbol of our culture as a Filipino. But the boyfriend didn't want to.
Now I envy someone for having a lot of ink in her leg.
For having a tattoo is cool. Yes, it's a self-inflicting pain.
But what can we do if that's their own way of feeling the pain?
Do you have one?

I don't have any tattoos. I am not a big fan of needles.
What kind of tattoo do you have? A wrist tattoo, or those are the ones you want to get?

Yes, it is a Chinese character for JOHN 3:16 the whole verse.
They find out after 6 months. And they are okay with it.
My Father has one in his arm too, and two of my Brothers also has a tattoo.

@JustBhem no too, because any sickness can be transmitted through needle pricks.

No, I don't have a tattoo and my husband doesn't have any. But, my son does and so does my daughter. We aren't interesting in getting one, for ourselves.

I have a bunch.
I see nothing wrong with having tattoos... though my advice is to keep them in places that you can hide underneath your clothing for professionalism. You never know if a job employer will judge you for them, or what the future will hold.

Nothing wrong with having one, I have one on my left upper wrist. It is of a sun and moon facing each other kissing and I have my husbands name under it in a scroll. Id like to get another one but wanted it on my leg and cant get it there so, I don't know if I will get another one.

I currently have eight tattoos. They are all on my arms. I want to get more eventually.
I think there's nothing wrong at all with having tattoos. I don't care for them when people have them on their necks or faces, but anywhere else I think it's fine.

I dont have one and would never want to have one. It's prohibited. I read a phrase in the Bible that having a tatoo is prohibited... just like practicing magic.

I have been thinking about one for quite some time. I would just get a small heart on my foot or something. I'm hesitant because for one, it's permanent, and also I don't want to start and want more. They're expensive! especially if you want them done right and not get infections. I wish I knew a friend who would do it for me...

I see, sorry about that.
All of the needles being use are sterilize and clean.

@JustBhem I haven't heard of injections before, I think the pain is unavoidable. But I think I meant to say that I didn't want infections, or getting germs in the open skin.
