To get a tattoo... or not to get one

Missy_R · 21-07-2010, 06:13 PM

Right ok, since being on holiday just over 2 weeks ago ( boooo I want to go back!

) quite a lot of people had tattoos, in all different places.
Dont get me wrong, Ive wanted one for absolutley ages, but mum being mum, doesnt like them at all.
I want one on my foot ( I know its painfull, but thats where i want one! )
I dont want a huge thing covering my whole foot, I'd just like one on the side of my foot, a couple of flowers or something.
Just wanted to see what peoples opinions on here were whether you like them or not... or whether you really arent bothered lol
Thanks in advance

I have two, small ones in places that can be easily covered up if I want them to be

Missy_R · 21-07-2010, 06:28 PM

Thats why I want one on my foot so it can be seen or I can hide it if need be

thank you for your opinion x

It seems weird to think of 80 year olds with tattoos right now but that's because they don't have them. When today's youngsters get to 80 then they will all have them so I suppose it will just be normal.

A woman I know who was recently 50 had a tattoo done on her leg from below the knee on the side of her leg. I'm not sure what it is but it looks like some kind of celtic or tribal thing and to be honest it looks horrendous

. However she thinks it's great. I would liken it to tiling your bathroom - make sure you pick the right tiles because they will be there a very very long time

Missy-R I don't know how old you are but if you're old enough to vote, get married, go to 18 films then you should be able to get one

Thanks for the advice guys, and I like the " it will be there for a very long time" I dont want a tattoo thats going to mean nothing to me, I want it there to mean something to me. Thanks again guys

I love tattoos, just make sure you really think it through.

I loved mine when i first had it done and for quite a few years after, but now i no longer like it and because it's a black tribal tattoo it's virtually imposible to cover.

I drew my tattoo when I was 16 had it done when I was 23 (bottom of my back) and if I could go back I wouldn't of had it done.

Not really in to tattoos on me, but some are really impressive if done by a decent tattoo artist
