@Kandae11 Same as you, I like nothing painted on my skin and there is also a risk for our health.

@cacay1 - Usually sailors had tattoos in my country in the past, normal people had a clean skin.

I suppose it is their choice, but for me l have never liked any kind of blemish on my skin. There are also health issues to consider.

I don't have any tattoos. I guess as long as the person likes it, it is what matters.

There are removable ones . You can just stick it on and remove it when you wish.

Age is mind over matter: if you don’t mind, it don’t matter.

As for tattoos, I don’t want one. I didn’t get one in the Navy, and being in the Navy was the best excuse I’d ever have for getting one!

The colors are beautiful in that picture, I’ll say that.

@Kandae11 — that’s a great reason to avoid it. It’s also reportedly very painful (especially in the more sensitive areas of the body). My back inflicts enough pain on me naturally, thank you.

Beautiful colors indeed, tattoo artists are very artistic. One of the problems l would have with tattooing is that the ink could get into the bloodstream. One of the reasons why tattooed persons are not allowed to donate blood.

Age should not be a concern. A person should express himself/herself freely regardless of age. I remember when I was a kid, older people were not supposed to wear clothes in bright colors. They were for younger people. Nowadays, even people over 90 wear clothes in red, pink, yellow, green, whatever colors they like. As for the tattoo, I wouldn't want it. But then again, I think it's a matter of personal choice.

I think people of any age should wear the colors they like and feel comfortable in - even fashionable clothes. However l would not be getting a tattoo ever.

What matters is how that person feels about herself. She's definitely happy to have such body art and nobody has the right to judge her it doesn't look great on her because of her age. I have three tattoos. Never thought of getting a full body tattoo. It's just not my thing.

@Kandae11 Not just many hours actually. It's several days. An arm sleeves take a day or two. But not consecutively actually. The first season could take hours and then there's a rest period for the healing which is a week or two before the second session. Other's take years to complete the whole body tattoo.

@toniganzon Yes indeed it would be impossible to complete that massive amount of tattooing in one session. What l meant is that sitting or lying for a two or three our session of pricking and painting can't be easy. And there would be many such sessions until it is complete.

Yes it is their choice. I know of a young lady who was so sure of her boyfriend that she had his name tattooed on a private area. When they broke up it was no easy task trying to have it removed.

No tattoos for me, I'm simply not interested. I am allergic to every type of dyes I can think of, it would be my luck to be allergic to the ink if that's even possible. One of my sons has a tattoo--I asked him to wait until he was 21, he waited until the week before he turned 21, and got one in Florida on a spring break trip. He hates that tattoo. My oldest girl has some tattoos, she loves them, and somehow they suit her. I am not against tattoos, Although I truly do hate the facial ones. I just don't want any.

Anyone who tattoos their face probably hates the way their face looks naturally. When he was in college my nephew got a tattoo on his upper arm. He had it removed some years later.

Body tattooing is also expensive. My student had his two arms tattooed the charged for 2 arms was 22 000 pesos unless artificial. One can do this regardless of age as long as can afford and enjoy much in doing it.
