I often wondered when I saw otherwise normal people displaying tattooes: WHY?

Can anyone tell me?

Some folks call it art.
Some folks are into pain.
Some folks believe it's the admission ticket to a club.
Some folks had no choice.
Some folks are just plain daffy.
Take your pick.

It used to be a sign of being original until everybody and his dog starting getting them. Now it's a sign that you are a follower.

I really like tattoos. I don't have one myself but I would get one and I like the way they look on others as well.
I guess it is just personal taste.

Tiny tasteful tattoos are okay (I guess). I would not have one. All it takes is to view the emails that are circulated showing a lovely tattoo on a young or younger body to one that has sagged and stretched on an older body. Gross!

Lol. I don't think that it will be anytime soon but I do want to get it done.

Not a fan at all. It would be like me saying I want my hair to thin out faster so I can get a comb-over.

Life is funny, ain't it?

Here we are, Kreskin and me advising an impressionable young lady NOT TO deface her body with tattooes.

Kreskin, looks like there is a trace of decency in you!

They do for me what a guy in a comb-over would do for you Haz (unless you like them then I'll get one - a comb-over

). Just not my thing.

Haz, I don't want you to feel bad or guilty for getting one. I only ask that as you enter the tattoo shop you think of me and birst into tears of regret.

Even a tasteful, pretty tattoo?? Ok I do get what you are saying in regards to the comb overs, they are definitely not my thing but I respect those who choose to wear them.... kind of...

I have tattooes and dont regret having them done ,each one is personal to me and the people in my life .As for having them done its a personal preference ,and a tattoo does not always reflect the person who is wearing them ,once upon a time people with tattooes were regarded as being rough ,but not nowadays they are regarded as a work of art ,just goes to show you cant judge a book by its cover

To me tattoos and body piercing are akin to self mutilation.

Some people wear the same old haircut for their entire life.

I find this more disturbing than tattoos.

I like seeing people's tattoos, especially well planned, artfully done ones. I like looking through the books when I visit my friend's tattoo room. I like going to a party, and seeing the newest piece of inspiration on a friend. I think they tell a very vivid story for most people. For some, they are done merely for appearance, and tell you nothing. For others they mark out major life events.

But, I still haven't ever found one I want to live the rest of my life with.

Ditto. I have a few. Got them about 20yrs ago. Don't regret it at all.
About 1/2 the people in my Family have at least one, & about 1/2 don't.
Same situation in my place of work. No big thing....

I read the Thread title and thought, "Well how 'bout that! YukonJack has
opened his own Tattoo Parlor and is try'n to drum up some business here!"

I read through and it's not Tattoo SPAM. Go figure, eh?

I completely agree with you. I really like asking people about their tattoos and hearing them tell the story behind them.

I know what I would get and where I would get it but I haven't looked for an artist to do it yet.

If you do decide to get one make sure to check out their work theres plenty of so called artists out there who arent really artists at all ,remember once its on its on for life unless you get it lazered off or have a cover up

Hiya, Haz.

I been getting tats for a couple years now, I think. I could never decide on what I wanted so I thought I'd just get temps and that way, when I get tired of the teddy bear on my butt, I get a rose on my shoulder or something. I love them.
