For those of you with tattoos, do you find that they can become addicting? Also, did the first tattoo you got have a special meaning?

I've dated a couple girls that had a few small tattoos and they told me that they can definitely see themselves getting addicted to them. My wife has two and said at times she struggles with wanting to get another one. Do you find them addicting?

I got my first tattoo to cover up an incision I got from a major surgery. I thought that would be my only one, but now I have several, including one I literally just finished getting done not even an hour ago. 😂

@Ducky lol...Did you always want a tattoo or did it just pop into your head, because of the scar? The people I've known always thought about getting one, so I think they liked the results and just kept getting them. Just a thought.

@WizardofOz I always said I would never get one and had no interest in getting one. But I hated that ugly scar so much, I went and got it covered up. Boy was my family in shock. Especially since I got it when I was in Alaska and when I got back, there's just a big tattoo on my stomach. 😅

@Ducky Well, I'm glad it worked out for you. One last question! Do any of them have a special meaning? One of my girlfriends had a tattoo of a dog, with her dogs name, she got it when he died. That was actually her first one. My wife has a tattoo of her grandma's ECG after her heart took it's last three beats. That one is hard to beat! 😜 Do you have a special one?

@WizardofOz Most of them I only got because them because they looked good, lol. While no particular meaning, I suppose you could say the one covering up my incision is still special in a way since it's doing away with a horrible reminder (and was was my first, of course). But I have one tattoo dedicated to my dad, one dedicated to my mom and one dedicated to my wife. I want to get some dedicated to my sister and my late uncle, but those are going to take some careful thought before I settle on what I want for them.

@Ducky Very nice. You do have quite a few! 🙂 And more on the way. Cool!
