Do you have any tattoos and if so of what and where?

I have some… these are my most visible ones this time of year

I have a pink ribbon tied in a bow on my right hip. And a sea shells pattern on my right foot.

I have 3 this is one of those 3

This one keeps coming full circle and to echo an answer to the question my first response is:

Why? Why do you want one?

Because I'll tell you. Once you've inked, it's permanent. I have watched people who I know, and those I know less, and I cannot tell you how many times I've either seen a very poor ink artist or.....you can tell that, that walking canvas was not so much invested in the ink as they were in looking cool or trendy.

Ink IS a personal choice, an art form. Ink should be a personal statement, a history of who you are. Mine are of my military service and who I once was...and when I step out of the shower and towel off, they are there to remind me of the company of young lions in the service to my nation that I was once part of.....that is so wholly important to me, as someone from a Gold Star family. It speaks to sacrifice of that personal self, but also by extension to the ultimate personal sacrifice of family.

So, sit down and decide that "why." And, if you have made that decision to roll ahead, then for heaven's sake, research your ink doctor and go look at their work. Make it about you....who you are, when someone reads your ink.

Funny short story.... I'd spent many, many years on the coast working along the beach and, one day, a 20-something kid came tenuously in to the parking lot where I was parking beach goers and....he had a question. He said to me....."my wife saw your tats from the bathroom window where we're staying (which overlooked the lot) and she loved your ink".
She called him over, he saw my ink and, he decided to come over and ask.
The bizarre part was that, my artist and he had been mates back in their day,
Phunny how the worm turns.......

Concluding, understand the "why" first. The design second, and thirdly, what you want to convey. Your body really is a walking canvas. Once is layed, it's played.
Cheers

I have 2, but I’d like a lot more.

Yes, 3 exbf initials, a 9, and lux. Lux on my back, intials and 9 on my hips.

Just one, a small red heart ❤️on my nape as a symbol of our love.

I have several. A butterfly on my stomach, a tiger head on my left arm, a heart on my right arm, the word “breathe” on my foot, etc.

I have them down my arms, my thighs and my back. They are all things that have meaning to me in some way.

And I am older with no regrets, they tell a story, my life has been messy and complicated

None. I feel that unblemished skin is more attractive to more people. There are better ways to stand out.

I have 7

Draw something or pick something out that you like put it up somewhere you will see it everyday and leave it for 1-3 monts if you still like it go for it!

i don't have any....but if i ever get one it would be an homage to my mom and dad who have passed away....i'd get it close to my heart

Currently only this one
Upper left back shoulder

Wanting another on the right side

I have a bit, too many to get into detail but I have a lotus flower on my neck that I like 😌 it symbolizes me throwing my old life behind & starting new

Nope - nature/genetics kindly gave me a good body that I have no wish to damage it 🙂🐼🥢

I don't have one.

I once went to a tatoo parlor to get one and the owner told me to find my reason/pupose to have something permanent on my body.

I couldn't answer so he denied services and sent me out.

It's been years I still couldn't find my reason.

I had fake tattoos that lasted for a week, it was fun.

You can try them and see how you feel about it.

I have no Tattoos and have no desire to have any ever, very common on Girls that will regret them when the are older.

Believe it or not, i did 21 years in the army and never got a tattoo

i dont but i like seeing them on other ppl

Not yet but saving up for my first.

I have a few I want to get. Probably start with a Marseille style Death Card from the Tarot.

no

3 ex bfs did you not learn the first time 🥺

Indecision on what I really want is what has kept me from getting one. I’d like to be 100% sure. 🤷🏻‍♂️

On my arms (upper) wanting to finish with a 3/4 sleeve. And have one round my ankle

Nope, want some but my job doesn't allow it also I can't make up my mind about it

Never have. Something I was never interested in getting one.
But to each their own.

Don't do it. I've said it before, a beautiful girl getting a tattoo is like spray painting a beautiful work of art with graffiti. You will regret it for the rest of your life.

Nope, not unless you call 4 tiny spots used to guide radiation bean therapy 20 years ago.

None yet. I kind of want the Fairy tail guild mark tattooed on my right arm.

I have music notes from ode to joy around my upper bicep.

No tattoos here. Always wanted them though.

Zero, no plans to get any either

I have just one, a peace sign on my wrist, but I have a lot more I'd like, a few I designed myself

No. I'm not a fan of tattoos

Nope. I don't have a one.

Yup loads , I have a theme of gargoyle's

Not even one

never had one

None

**Chuckles** Trust me... no one wants to talk tattoos and psychology of them with me.

Most vanilla people don't understand my need to do what I want to do - and I don't fully understand where it came from... just another fucked up aspect of a fucked up childhood I suppose.
