Hope things are better between you and your husband concerning the tatoo.

I agree with Tink. I have NEVER seen a tatoo on an older man or woman that I thought looked good. IMO it definitely looks worse on an older woman. That's why I've always stopped myself from getting one.

Mandee, I just wanted to let you know that I hope you and your hubby are feeling better now.

thank you. yes, things are better but he still hates the fact that i got a tattoo. he still wants me to have it removed. i went for a consultation and i just dont think i can do it. it takes 7-10 treatments and they are said to be extremely painful and you have to wait a month between treatments. i just dont see me doing that. plus...the treatments are $250 EACH!!! so...um...NO...i'm not going to do it. plus...i have to wait until the tattoo is 4 months old before they will do the treatments and by then, he will be used to it :)

thanks for asking tho :) we are really doing fine...we have had a GREAT week, friends and family have been in town and we have really enjoyed that.

yeah, if i had them in places that people would see them when I am older, i would be concerned. but by the time i am old enough for them to look tacky, i don't think i will be wearing a bikini or a short shirt or anything like that which would reveal the tattoo. they are all concealed and only visible when I want them to be visible. this is another reason I am not getting any more...i am out of "inconspicuous" areas :) the most visible place I have on is on the top of my foot..and again...it is covered when i want it covered.

I'm so glad to hear things are going better for you Toodles!! :) That's awesome.

I'm glad ya;ll are talking now. Didn't take him too long to get over it! Phew!

Sure hope I didn't hurt your feelings about the 'old' talk. I've always wanted a tatoo also, but I would want it where I could see it. As I get older, my skin just isn't holding the shape it use to...LOL I have to live vicariously through others.

Toodles its good to hear things are better between you guys :thumbup:

I just got a pretty large tattoo on my back of a rose - the stem with some leaves and flowers go into a lower back tattoo. It's really gorgeous. My rose tattoo that used to "grow" out of my bikini is somewhat wilted, but the truth is I don't care. My tattoos are hidden. Some people do tend to stereotype you when they see tattoos. It's just human nature, so I only show them when I want them to be seen.

I love them both, even the wilted rose on my tummy. They are who I am, and I like using my body as a way to express who I am (no pole dancing or anything like that) but with clothing, jewelry, the way I wear my hair, etc. I have a lot of fun with it, and I just turned 60.

By the way, tattoos hurt like h*ll!
