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.

I've got some piercings too. Not anything too crazy though! When my best friend came down for a week in May, we decided to get peircnigs together on the last day and I got my tongue pierced! Ouch! Fortunately, my grandma hasn't noticed yet, and my parents wouldn't have noticed if I didn't tell them

I have since, removed my piercings. I had 4 besides the ones in my ears.

I have 2...I have a red rose on my back left shoulder and I have a tribal w/a couple of roses on my left upper arm (goes up onto my shoulder...The only time when they are seen is if I have a tank top on...I got my first one at 39 and the second one done last winter..(I was 48) I do not regret getting either one of them..
