What are your thoughts on tattoos? especially tattoos on women?
I have been reading a few stories on online newspaper websites about tattoos and everyone who comments seems to think tattoos are horrible and that tattoos on women are disgusting. One poster even went as far to say that even if a women was the most beautiful women in the world, she would be vile if she had a tattoo.
Personally I love tattoos, and I have 4 myself. I think tattoos can look good on both men and women aslong as they are well done.
But a bad tattoo will look bad on ANYONE. No matter what it is or where it is.
Do you have any tattoos? How old were you when you got your first tattoo? and do you have any tattoo regrets?
I will be the first to admit I have regrets though... and would urge ANYONE to think long and hard before getting a tattoo, making sure they go to a good artist no matter the price. You get what you pay for most of the time.
I was 16 when I got my first tattoo. It is a tribal on the bottom of my back, I will admit I knew I WANTED a tattoo.. but I didnt really think about what it was I wanted. So I ended up getting this tribal that I kinda liked just for the sake of getting a tattoo. I went to a local tattoo place just because they were near by and they would tattoo me under-age. That SHOULD have been huge red flags to me but because I was 16 and stupid I went for it. The tribal itself is okay but the colour is patchy, it has been done twice and still looks like crap.
I got my second tattoo which is a swirly kinda tribal patten on my tummy in the same year, I went to the same place (dont know why im stupid) and needless to say that its a patchy peice of crap too.
I then went somewhere else for a pink bow on the inside of my right wrist when I was 17 this is okay.. thankfully.
I then went back to the same place I got the bow from when I was 18 and had some stars tattood from my neck down to my shoulder blade, one of the stars faded away completley in the space of 6 months (have no idea why or how) and the stars themselves actually looked more like KABOOM!! things you get in comic books LOL.
So last year I did my research and found an amazing tattoo artist. She fixed my stars for me and added beautiful butterflies.
She is doing a cover up on my tummy this Saturday with a beautiful humming bird. And she is going to cover up the tribal on the bottom of my back with the most stunning Victoria Frances gothic design in the next couple of months.
Like I said, I love tattoos but I wish I had done my research before I ran off and got a load of crap inked on me.
So... what are your thoughts? do you have any tattoos? and do you have any regrets?
If you have tattoos please post pics! I will post before and after pics of mine after I have my tummy fixed this weekend.
