Tattoos can be really sexy if done on the right person in the right area of the body.

Tattoos can be hideous if done any other way.

Just sayin'.

Tattoos are cool, but i don't want to get one and regret it later on in life when im 65 you know?

Barb-wire that dick!

I think some of them look cool but, I'm artistic. For me that just means I'll always want to manipulate them.... over and over perpetually. Wouldn't be a "good look" for me.

I like a lot of the ones I see, but I'm so scared to do mine.

I've got two and I'd love more. Hell sure my body's gonna change anyway, I may as well have it look the way I want it to while I'm still young lol

I always fell into the belief that we would regret tattoos when we get old and saggy. Then I realized....we're gonna be fucking old and saggy. A tattoo should be the least of our physical concerns at 65.

I was also scared to do mine. Even halfway through it I'm thinking this is pretty much permeant. But after doing it, it's really not that bad. You just have to find a good tattoo artist luckily one of my cousins is one. And I think mine looks pretty good.

The worst part of a tattoo is right before you get it but it's pretty awesome once you get it.

Is he in the NYC area, haha?

New York Ink. Get it there, lol, just watched the show today.

In the thrash metal community, I enjoy seeing people who have album covers or something tattooed on them, reminds me I should listen to that album more often. I've also seen a few nice Mortal Kombat and Zelda tattoos.

Not a big fan of them to be put on my body, however some are cool to look at. People who have sleeves with different images on them look really cool and I've even seen tattoos with piercings included in the art. It's a great conversation starter too, everyone that I have come across loves to explain what their tattoo means to them and how they went about and got them.

I personally wouldn't want one. I don’t like ink on my skin, let alone in my skins. I also don’t like the idea of it being on there when I am 98 years old and my nurse maid is washing my flaps, trying to figure out what it is

I love tattoo's
I have wanted a Sub-Zero Tat since FOREVER
But like Pred said... im too artistic (in my head anyway I suck at art) and I would never be happy with what ive got and always want to manipulate it once I got it.

I would never get a tattoo and I despise them on women.

Actually, I despise them on men too.

Sorry but he's in Austin Minnesota if your willing to travel haha.

Just make sure you check the spelling before you get a tat. I saw a woman with "beleive" tattooed in huge letters on her arm. I "beleive" she needed a dictionary.

And if you get any characters that are asian make sure you know what the fuck they mean. Even if you do, be prepared to have an assload of people telling you it doesn't mean what you think it means and asking if you are sure it means what you think it means.

My first tat inside right forearm is the Japanese word Gaijin. I got it as a joke on purpose. The joke being: If you can read it you already know I'm not from around there -a "well duh!" type of joke-. I actually took the time to study for a number of months so that I didn't fuck up on the joke. And when an exchange student asked me if I knew what I meant I went so far as to explain what the characters literally individually represent and then what they meant collectively. I then said I got it on purpose and it was a joke. At which point (when he knew the crazy american did it on purpose for the sake of comedy) he laughed! THE REACTION I WANTED! OMG!

A couple years later, I had some white guy trying to explain to me that it's not what I think it means with some level of condescending attitude. One problem: I WROTE IT MYSELF!

So, yeah. You'll get a LOT of that from white people. Too much of this "Exit only" "Gay bar hangout" type of snopes crap floating around that people 1) Assume I'm white. 2) Assume because it is asian it is chinese. 3) Assume I must have got something embarrassing on accident.

So, if you don't want that headache, skip to something a little more modern.

Final note: Don't get tribal tats. You either look like a douchebag or a skinhead.

When you're 65, *every part of your body* will have gone to shit, not just the tattoo. I haven't known a single person who wants theirs gone after getting older.

I myself have two, and I haven't regretted them at all (though it will be a pain to cover them up in Japanese Onsen, I can totally deal with that)
