Tattoos!

[RLC12345678]

Lindsey, as time has gone by are have changed your mind and realized that the original tatoo you wanted you do not wnat anymore. Aren't you a little worried that as time goes by you may not want the one you get anymore??

I don't have any tatoos. If I were to get one (which I am 99.9% positive I won't bc I'm scared of needles) I would get it on my hip but in a place on my hip where panties and bathing suit bottoms would always cover it up. I would get a decorative cross...very small. But that is the one and only thing I can think of that I would want permanently tattooed on my body for life.

Your tattoo looks very nice...but I wonder what it will look like at 70 or 80 years old. Have you ever noticed on old men how awful they look? I doubt I would ever get one, but like most here have said, it would be out of sight......but then, what's the point?

People always say this to me, and I just say "When I'm 80 years old, almost every other 80 year old will have tattoos too!" I didn't get my tattoo for anyone but me, and that's how I will continue. I guess when I'm older it's not going to matter how they look, because to me they will be memories.

That is probably very true!!!! I love the look of some tattoos, but I think I'll just take pictures for my memories and put them in an album....LOLOL

I have two tattoos.... I have mine in places that no one can see unless I would want them too.

My first one I got when I was 18. It's a pair of dice with a 4 and 3 showing. "LUCKY NUMBER 7" It's small and simple and on my back right shoulder.

My second I got when I was 19 and it a Geko/Lizard with it's tounge going towards my belly button. This is my favorite one and it got me kicked out of the house. Even though it is my favorite one I REALLY regret. When I was 19 I knew I would NEVER get married and I would NEVER NEVER have kids so when the tattoo person advised me not to get it on my stomach I didn't listen. Now I'm going to have to get it removed b4 I plan on having kids or my lizard will turn into a DINOSOUR....LOL I figured that I would get a small copy of it on my ankle or something when I get it removed.

Your lizzard story reminds me of a young woman I know who got cherries on her tummy near her belly button. She married and gained a LOT of weight (like 70~80 lbs, maybe more). Her husband, fortunately was the kind of guy who loved her anyway, but her cherries became apples.

When I went away to college, my Dad threatened me that if I got a tattoo, he would cut me off. I, of course rebelled, a little. He said nothing of piercings. I got a bunch of them. This was over 10 years ago, so they weren't real common at the time.

No I'm not worried because I look at them as like a memory of where I was at that point in my life. If I had gotten the zodiac sign a couple years ago I wouldn't regret it now, because I would remember the time in my life where I felt it was a portrayal of who I was. I guess the tattoos I'm getting are just like milestones in my life.
