Just curious what a mixed crowd think.

Personaly i have 2, want 3 more.

I have my lil man's hand on my chest, and a cheesey cow boy hat that a close friend use to wear all the time that died this year from cancer on the back of my shoulder.

I get my tatto's for me, they are not where everyone can see them, and they have personal meaning.

They have become prity much main stream in most culures, but curious who has some, what they are, what they mean, and those that dont, the opinions about them?

your kids hand is genious

maurys from newzeland have it right aswell

but my friend who has pictures from the tattoo palour wall, well he`s a tit.

girls who have tatoos that arent hidden, or dont have some meaning, to me it just ruins their natural beauty.

you wouldnt draw a mustache on the mona lisa, would you?

i dont have any but i think i will one day, as i want to mark a few significant periods in my life

I have none but think afew on a woman are sexy! Too many and to me its like looking at a news paper that talks? Then there the age thing ive NEVER seen someone at 70 yrs old whos tats look good but maybe at that age you dont care?

i have one. its a 4 leaf clover cause im extremely irish, and my sons name under it. hell, if it gives him any luck at all its worth it.

i wanted to get a second one, a momento of me and one of my good friend, feathers and handcuffs (its an inside joke), but havent found the artist that appeases my taste.

but to me, if your going to turn your body into a canvas, you might as well make sure it has some meaning behind it, a thoughtful story, something other then "well it looked cool".

Thanks, its not finished yet, have to have more detail done to it, been a while since i have had time to get in to the artist to finsih.
I wanted something that i could keep from when he was little, so now no matter how old he gets, i can always pull my shirt off and say "hey, dont give me crap , remember when you were this size?" *lol*
When he gets older and learns to write, i'm going to give him a magic marker and let him write his name below the tat, and have that done, all scribbily as kids do.
I think as long as you get them for you, there is nothing wrong with them, fully agree with you, they have to be for something, otherwise just a neon light attracting atention.

i agree there, to many is a bit much.

tat's are liquid, you have to keep in shape to keep them looking good as well has have the touched up every 10 years or so, depending on what they are.
I think a lot of tat's going when you get older is your skin looses its elasticity, etc, so the tat's sag and change.

i dont know about you but i dont look at 70 year old women and think
"damn, if only she didnt have that tat, i`d of tottaly given her some lovein"

all about placement and significance. a big dragon on her forearm just aint good...... unless its a dragon she slayed

Its a shame you are not closer, my friend is the artist that did mine, he is a one of a kind, has his own shop, but a great guy, and a good artist, i'd send you to him.

aww come on lonetar25, you kno you were lookin... you were thinking man if she didnt have tat's and that roll up bra i'd be all over that.. Take her walker and you have it made, cant run away.
No no no, we had sex last month remember.. it wasnt 10 min ago...

You know you were thinking , man that gray hair is fine.... *LOL*
J/K

someones giveing you inside infomation. who was it?

they just have better suction, okay

and they`re more greatfull

I think all tatoos should have a story and a meaning.....I gots 3 an all are markings of ****ed up **** I been through when I was runnin the streets....I want more but I've had none professionally done and I wannna save some $$ and get it done right this time.....

I think they're super hot on good looking women.. The suicide girls drive me nuts ..but if she's lame or got **** she thought people would like she's a goon..

Its very interesting. From very young, I was raised that piercings and tattoos mutilate the body and its natural beauty and that plays a big role in my adult perceptions, Im sure. I am not such a prude that one or two small tats or one set of pierced ears turns me off.

My sons father has a tatto of a heart above his heart with our names,,thats fine, but much more than that is a personal physical turnoff for me.

I can take em or leave em

I don't really care

most everyone I know has some form of tattoo. a couple or a lot

it's never been my thing. mostly just cause they are expensive and I always had something else to spend the money on

I have my face tattooed on my lower stomach and pelvic area with my tongue sticking out

Tattoos on a guy is pretty hot. As long as they're not COVERING his body. That's not that hot.

I've got two tattoos .. a blue rose with my name inside that has NO meaning, I was 18 & wanted a tattoo. I'll more than likely get it covered. that's on my left shoulderblade. And I have a cartoon zebra on my lower hip but on the back .. don't exactly know what that is called.

Tattoos ARE an opinion,a way of others seeing what u like or think without using vocabulary or discussion.But id rather talk about an opinion than turn my body into a bill-board...i dont mind tat's on a person,just as long as it has a deep and special meaning and is worthy of lifelong rememberance,not just "ooh i like butterflys".

But, my body is my temple and it bears no graffitti...but i appreciate others with the desire for art,a form of expression without words....some do it for the right reason,but i guess a reason is good enough as long as it makes u smile

Tattoos can be addicting...imo some are a little out there-

for a lady a few small ones ain't so bad

I have one that I had done when I was 20, I wish I didn't do it but oh well. I don't care for them on women either.

I honestly do not care for them and don't have any.
