Tattoos?

Tattoos?


My question for all of you today is about tattoos. I am seriously considering getting one. How long did you think about getting one before you did it. Do you ever regret getting it? Did getting one actually lead you to get more (like the old saying-one is not enough). Did it make you happy at first and still happy today?

I have 2 and have never regretted them, and I'm planning on at least 1 more. Both current ones and the future one have a lot of meaning.
If you do want to get one, you are already heading in the right direction by waiting and thinking it out. Seems like most I have talked with that regret a tattoo is because the decision was spur of the moment and alcohol influenced.
If you do decide that you want one, best advice I can give is #1 and most important, Find a GOOD artist!! Even if it means travelling to go see them.
2nd sit down with the artist that you pic and draw up something original. "Stock" tattoo books lead to regret
3rd, make it something that has meaning to you...something with a story behind it

Some is Good, but in my opinion, there is such a thing as too much and I am maybe pushing it [image]

I had thought a long time before I go my first one (i was in my 40's) and did a lot of research and though before I got that one. I had idea and thoughts, but mostly a great artist who said all those sound fun but here lets just freehand it because it won't work flat.

I wonder if you chose to go through with it or if you are still considering

Not the Whole Truth but the truth that I can see.

My only suggestion would be you have to get something that is very meaningful to yourself! I have some that have multidimensional meanings and remind me of great times and core interests. I try to get themes / ideas that are timesless. Whatever you do no names haha🙈🙈🙈.

Took me about 2 years to decide on first one and right style. Also good idea is to check out momentaryink.com you can upload an image and get a temp tattoo to test it out to see if you like design / size / position

I have none, and have no desire to get one.... I know several people who have at least one. About half wish they hadn't done it now that they're older. One has spent more than $20,000 to get his removed.

Some people look good with a bit of ink, some look like freaks....it all depends on the artwork, size, and location.

i know exactly what i'm going to get - which i think is the most important part... but i don't know when. i think i'm more apt to wander into some tattoo studio someday and say "what the fuck, lets make it happen!" than to schedule it. which is probably a mistake but it sounds like a good experience nevertheless!
so yeah, settle on something you wanna see for the rest of your days on a body part you'd like to see something on ... and do it!

Seattle good heavens they are everywhere! It's NOT good. Personally a lot of women getting them all over and it makes them ugly cause it is a distraction of there personal beauty. Does anyone think in those terms? What's the point wearing your heart on your sleeve? Someone said once when one gets older and skin looks like a raisin your'll look like a lizard.

I suggest going to a tattoo convention to see the various artist portfolio's and styles. Morgantown has one coming up Aug 19-21 at Waterfront.

Almost got one when I was in the military, but chickened out, guess i wasn't drunk enough to go through with it.

Don't have any !

People say I'm heavily inked but I see myself still naked, just getting started. Love my ink, in all honesty don't care about others. I do it for myself, and if I like others art I'll say something if it comes up. Otherwise it's become an icebreaker for people who want to talk to me. Which is a plus but more often than not; a negative. Like I hear it ALL are time and I've been tatted for 4 years, like come on now, You got to have more than that to talk about.

Just my perspective slash insight, if you love the art yourself and keep looking at it and love it over and over a tattoos for you.
