I know I said I waited to get mine until I was older and had the common sense to know what I was getting myself into, but lately, I've been starting to wish I hadn't gotten the one on my shoulder. At 30, I now feel a little too old to be sporting a tattoo when I wear tank tops! If I could afford to have it removed, I would. I'd still keep the one that's a memorial to my Dad since no one can see that one when I have clothes on.

The lady who sits next to me at dialysis said that she has celebrated each divorce with a new tattoo.

I really can relate to what okarol posted so I never thought I'd say this, but if I were younger I would get a small flower tatoo on my ankle.  I don't want anything too extreme, maybe just a little something like this guy has. I would skip the red hair though, it's a little too much.

Re: transplant; every single person on the transplant team, every time I see each of them, ask if I drink, do drugs or have tattoos.    My answer is "sounds like my to do list!".  Some aren't amused! :rofl;

Actually, as far as I know, it's still legal in Kentucky. My great grandparents were first cousins (truthfully). It does make family reunions a great place to pick up chicks.

I see your point, can't be bad, you were eventually an offspring of first cousins and you are as sane as they come

On the original topic. I have two tattoos, and am really wanting more! Just above my right shoulder blade I have two beautiful blue-tone calla lilies, and slightly above and to the left of my tail-bone I have a mustang. As in the "Mustang" (Fords beauty. I love them so much!) I'd wanted that since I was 14 years old and finally did it in March of 2007 when I was visiting my dad in Wyoming. Scared the crap out of him because he though my mom was going to hunt him down for "letting me" get it. I was 20 years old at the time, soon to be 21...
The calla lilies represent life and growth, that there is always a chance for renewal. The pony reminds me to live how I want, to go fast and feel free.

Nothing against tatoos, but I get enough needles three times a week at the DC.
