Poll: You got a tattoo?

If you answered yes:
:camera:'s? and how old are you now and do you regret it.

If you answered no:
Would you ever get one? What's stopping you?



oh right... and my answer is no, I've been considering but I think I'd probably regret it when I'm older.
 
I have 5 tattoos and some piercings too.

I was 18 when I got my first one and I'm 23 now.

I only regret one thing - the placement of one just because I have to watch what I wear - it tends to peek out when I wear a low-cut shirt.

I don't have any pics up on a website right now, otherwise I'd show ya.
 
Nope, don't have one and don't plan on getting one either. Just not something I have a desire to do, not that I have anything against it.

However I'm tired of seeing every single girl out there have a tattoo on her lower back above her butt, just seems like its such a trendy thing that every girl does it.
 
I hate wearing rings so if I get married I'm going to get my ring tattooed on 😀 maybe... I've never seen a finger tattoo before.
 
I don't have one, because the majority of people who get them are stupid. Its not even "self expression", its just self mutilation. Whenever I see a girl with a tatoos or a bunch of piercings I think one thing :whore.

Explain to me how you come to the conclusion that a girl is a whore because she has tattoos or piercings?
 
yes, i have the quake logo on the inside of each of my forearms. 😛

edit: seriously, no. but if i would get one, and the terms under which i would, is that i would have enough money that i wouldnt care for job interviews, because itd probably be in a visible location.

edit02: or, if i had the time/money, i wouldnt mind a nice piece up around my shoulder and top part of my arm.
 
I have 4, but 3 are connected to make one large piece. I didn't have the money to get the entire thing done at once, and I didn't want to get the whole thing outlined, to be filled in later. So I when the route of getting protions of it completed in stages. This design is a skull on my shoulder with colored tribal all around it that flows into a wrap-around tribal band on my bicep. On the other arm I have a female's head with a huge mohawk, where the ends intertwin in tribal bands.

I think I was 19 or 20 when I got my first tattoo.

The only thing I regret is that one shop I went to to get a tttoo from from said they couldn't make the tattoo as small as I wanted because the clarity of it would look like hell after a few years. They told me it would have to be about 30% bigger, with about 2x more cost than I had at teh time. I thought it was a scam to get more money out of me, so I kept going to different places untill I found a shop that would do what I wanted. 15 years later, I should have listened to the advice of teh first shop I went to.

One thing I will say is to never get one of the "off the shelf" tattoos that you see displayed. Tattoos should reflect your personality, not the personality of some tattoo artist that you have never met. If you don't have the talent to design you own tattoos (mine are all original) then try working with the tattoo artist to have him/her modify an existing tattoo into something unique for you.

I think the worst thing that I could thing of would be to walk down the street or be at teh beach and see someone with the exact same tattoo. Talk about commercialism.

Just a broad generalization of the people i've met. The women who have tattoos and piercings generally have low self-esteem, and don't amount to much of anything, which in turn leads them to sexual promiscuity.

keep digging saulbadguy
 
I have 2, one on my left pec and a tribal around my right calf. I drew the latter, the former was taken from a martial arts patch(dragon/tiger fighting). I will try to put some pics up. I don't really regret having them, in fact I often forget I have them. Just used to it I guess.

Got my first at 18 and 2nd at 19. 22 now.

lol, that's so true. Although it's kinda cliche, I would get my family name done in chinese on my shoulder (arm side).

looks good, I see a lot of people with ones like yours that wrap around. Did you design it yourself?
 
I don't. I don't think I could handle the pain. Or the committment.

Pain? I can't remember if I felt the pain at all really. It was a good pain.

Also, I think tattoos are very addictive. Kind of like potato chips, you can't have just one.

Agreed.

I've been itching to get another for about a year now... still deciding on what it is going to be.
