I have 3, intend to get more.  Just got my latest one a few weeks ago.  I personally don't like the gruesome or cartoonish ones, but the right tat can be hot!

The top one needs to be touched up since it's about 6 yrs old.  The bottom one is my newest so it's very bright right now.

I add a pic of 2 of mine while you were posting I think.  I have another, a black bird-phoenix type thing on my other shoulder, but it's hard to get a picture of it.

Tattoos are actually how I met my hubby. He gave me all of the ones that I have.

Metallica Ninja Star on right ankle

Hummingbirds with flowers on inside of lower half of left leg

Parrot on front of left leg

Butterfly with Tiger face inside on outside of left leg

Cougar sitting on a branch on on outside of left leg

Tinkerbell on my back

Unicorn on right shoulder

Butterfly on chest

Butterfly and fairy dust on right hand

Unfortunately since he had lost his fingers on his right hand (and now entire hand) he couldn't tattoo anymore or I would have more. We just sold the tattoo equipment to my son in law, so now I just have to decide what I want!

I have gotten 2, one on each ankle, and i thought i was going to pass out when i got the first one but all of it was mainly built up anxiety.  It really doesnt hurt, kinda like taking a needle and scraping it against your skin,  not too painful but you know it's there :)  I know it also depends on where you get it too,  if you get it in an area where there is not alot of muscle or meat then i have heard it hurts more.  (like on top of the foot or near your ankle bone)

I would really like to get a tattoo, but I haven't found anything that I can say I want on me for forever.  I've been through several phases of likes and dislike in my life and a few things have always carried on during each.  I have hunted the tattoo shops and on-line for ideas and designs but I haven't found just the right one.  I think I may have to just design it myself.  At least I know no one else will have the same tattoo.  My wife has 3 and she has designed 2 out of the 3 of them.

Your right my wife would kill me and come after you next.  Besides , I'm not a name person.  I think it's kinda stupid myself.  That's my opinion and I'm sure it was the right thing for you otherwise you wouldn't have done it, it's just not for me.  I'll either find something I really like, or like I said design it myself.

Well, if and when you decide to do it, please dont forget to share it will all of us, i'd love to see what you have created.  Hubby has been talking about getting his Raider Shield so i think that would be our next project.  In search of the best Raider Shield... The quest begins, lol

DFL huh?  Ohhh, too many possibilities, lol,  AND,  will you let your son get one too?  Dont mean to start another controversial subject but i think since it is something between you and him, then why not allow him to get one like his dad?  just askin'

He can have a tattoo, he just has to wait until he is 18+ before.  He already has his ears pierced and is gauging one of them to a 0 size.  He wants a 00, but that is a bit much in my opinion so he is stuck where he is until he is 18 too.  I understand freedom of expresion, and the want to find yourself so I don't mind him experimenting.  I just want him to grow up a little more before he does something perminant.  He has a lot of maturing to do before that point.

No I wouldn't let my son get a 'tat until he is an adult. But I would get DFL then if he decided when he is older he could get DFL as well. I think it's sad when I see kids that are like 15 with a tat.  :-\

I've been disfigured enough by two fistula surgeries and an ugly fistula.  I don't think I would pay someone to disfigure me further.  Hopefully the tattoo fad will play itself out soon.
