Would you get a tattoo?

 
  • I'm getting a tattoo. I'm designing it right now, but it incorporates a stanza of the John Updike poem Spirit of '76. It really means a lot to me. And I'd like to have it written on my body where I can read it when I'm old and senile. :)

    Yeah I probably would on the back of my shoulder or one of my biceps so I could cover it for job interviews and what not.

  • I wouldn't take a tattoo. I think that piece of art (image, painting) looks always better on paper than human skin.

    Now I'm gonna get all the motorcycle-gangs after me.

  • I have 10 already. I plan to get more.

  • Yes, I woud probbaly get a tattoo of some stars on my wrist. I know it's pratically cliche now but whatever.

    I'd love to have a tattoo and I'm sure I'll get at least one someday. I have no idea what or where but I have time to think about it.

  • i'm not sure actually.. it will look gay when i'm 40+
    love will tear us apart on the arm or just lady gaga all over my back. yeees

  • Yes, I want alot of them..

    SiLo.
  • I have several tattoos, a scorpion on my stomach, cross on my ankle, wings on my back, blossoms on my stomach, ribs, and back, blossom on my foot, birds on my chest.

    I'm already planning a koi on my ribs, an a phoenix that runs down my ribs and leg.

  • By the time I graduate college, I will get some.

    Maybe, if I was completely sure it's what I wanted.

    I've got my sister's name tattooed on my left arm.

    My boyfriend would rather I don't get more, but he said to me something like "When the tattoo matters to you enough, you'll get it no matter what I say." It wasn't a controlling method or anything, he's just making sure I don't get something I'll regret. It'll be something that means so much to me, that I'll get it no matter what anyone says. :]

    So, it'll probably be lyrics or a quote or something like that.

    Anything that shows a lot of skin has a high probability of looking "gay" after 40. Would an old lady with a tramp stamp look any better if she showed the same part of her back only without ink on it? I think not.

    Agreed. :]

    I hate the dumb excuse "It'll look bad when you're older!" No, it won't. Take care of yourself and get the tattoo touched up if you must.

  • I've wanted a tattoo for years. It's changed a lot, what I want, but it's settled that if I were to get one it'd be a phoenix. And some profound, poetic lyrics from a song that means a lot to me.

    I'll probably never get one though. I want one, but no matter how much it means to me I'll still get bored of it.

    haha, well when i see a 40+ year old dude flashing his tattoos.. one word: LOLz

  • I do want one next year, but for now I have no idea what. Nothing big, not very small either... probably on the side of my back or around my chest, idk.

  • I want a giant squid and a sperm whale in battle, going diagonally from my shoulder to my hip.

    Usually they don't "flash" their tattoos.

  • I'd really love to have a tattoo. But the problem is that I don't want to get a "meaningless" tattoo, so I just don't get one anytime soon...
