Five Painful Places to Get a Tattoo

You know I bet half the people who are dising tattoos probably work and get along with people that have them and don't even know it. I enjoy going to wine tasteing events, getting dressed up to go to a high end restraunt, and I have 6 tattoos, my nose and lip pierced and have an anti-eye brow. I also have a wonderful daughter and ask any one who has met me and they would not classify me as ugly or trash.

People with tattoos are more open minded and b/c of that nicer people to be around then the hateful ones posting here.

Haha, I must admit to really enjoying cindysmiles' comment. Very good! I also have three tattoos though, and will admit the one on the top of my foot was quite painful and requires more touch up then the other two. Wouldn't know about the lower back tattoo though, don't have one. I thankfully did take the 101 course.

I have 7 tattoos and I am planning on getting several more. The last one I got is on my upper middle back and was the most annoying but worth it. As for judgements, give it your best shot. I win every battle and can dish it nastier than you. Hey, my body, my rules! And as far as jobs go, never had a problem there. A job has to do with your work ethics, etc., not tattoos (unless it's a hate race design, etc). People, really, let's fight for what matters...LIFE!

In reference to tattoos being trashy and trendy, I disagree. I'm a home school mom, Sunday school teacher, I volunteer for hospice and I have 5 tattoos, including one that covers my entire calf and a full back piece (Noah's Ark). True, some trashy people have them but also some very normal people do too. Different strokes, remember.

To me giving birth to kids is a h-e-l-l of a lot more pain then tats.

I admit to finding tattoos distasteful. I'm not saying those who like them should be drawn and quartered, simply that they are not for me and when I see them, I think they are out of place or simply don't belong where they are. They are indeed your right to "freedom of expression" But I wonder if those of you are spitting mad at those oppose your opinions to tattoos would agree with your own posts if or when you see the racist animals who have swastikas or "DIE NI**** DIE" or White Power tattooed on their bodies as their form of "freedom of expression" I've seen such tattoos and as a knee jerk reaction, cringed....I was met, every time with obsene guesters, profanity and rudeness. They are, like any of those who chose tattoos simply expressing their "freedom of expression" I assure you, those who chose to have these testiments of their hate permenantly inked on their bodies have a story and meaning behind each of their tattoos like you do. If you have them and it's what you want, great. But can't you just agree to disagree in the matter? If you're going to put your expressions on your skin in incredibly obviously visable places and expect it to be accepted, accept that not everyone's going to like it or react they way you do to them.

I am 41 and have 4 boys and a husband, my latest tatoo was my 40th bd present. Betty Boop on my ankle. I have 5 so far and am working on the design for my next one, my husband after we were married got one to honor his and my heritage and the death of his father and my nother(in the same year) My son got one when he turned 18 and my other boys will get one then too. I did make them wate till 18, but if they want one I try to advise them to make sure it will be something they can live with for the rest of their lives. I have one on my left breast, back, both ankles, stomach and groin. the one on the lower back I think hurt the worst, but it does go half way up my spine and i am a petite person, so it hurt. I have a full time job and 2 business outside of my job as an Insurance agent, my husband works and my children are all good students with jobs too! I think the people who are predijuce over tatoos are wrong, there are alot more things to worry about in life than someone elses! some tats can be tacky while others i would print and put in a frame on my wall if I could...also my brother is a tatoo artist and that is what they are ARTISTs! have a great day

I have tow tattoos and am planning my third. I have one on the top of my left foot and one on my neck and upper back. To tell you the truth the one on my neck bothered me the most. The one on my foot was a cake walk!! I realate the feeling of getting a tattoo to an annoying sunburn but it goes away just as fast as it started!!!! I enjoy the "High" that a tattoo gives me, and for those who don't have one yet you wouldn't be able to understand that feeling!!!! It's awesome!!!

tkbone gets it !!!!!!!

Thank you.

I hope the last person that see's your tattoo appreciates the art-work. That would be your local mortician.

Comment: i am not putting people down who have tattoos. however, as a general rule, a guy with LOTS of
tattoos has an anger or ego problem, or both. i do not seem to notice the problem with women.


rgb.... Red, Green, Blue.... hmmmm.. I wouldn't think that someone with such a colorful name, could only think in black and white.. I think you missed the headline from earlier... "People with tats have high self-esteem". So, maybe the ego thing is a misinterpretation of one's abundance of esteem. As for the anger issue.... I'd be pretty angry too, if you kept classifying me as egotistical and one of the "Guys". Sorry but I'm not one of your ex-boyfriends.

The article referred to a henna tattoo and I was wondering if anyone has had any bad experiences with them. I thought it would be a good idea to start with something temporary to see if I like it before I go permanent.
