Five Painful Places to Get a Tattoo

JustMyOpinion123 - I loved your entries and I completely agree with you. You sound like a decent person with good judgement. Nice to see that there are still people left like you. :-)

My second tattoo was on my ankle, and it was the most painful. I didn't know that it would hurt so much, but I still would have gone through with it, I love it to death.
And women with tattoos are still beautiful, it's about self-expression and beautiful artwork. Don't knock em, not everyone can handle the pain.

I have a tattoo on my ankle and it was the most painful one. I didn't know how painful it was going to be, no one had told me! If I had known I still would have gone through it though, I love it to death!

women are beautiful with or without tattoos you shouldnt make a generalization like that.

i had been thinking about the tattoos i wanted since i was 14...by the time i was 18 i had it all figured out...I'm twenty now and I have one tattoo and its none of the ones i had originally wanted...but i love it...i would continue to get the ones i want but my fiance convinced me that one is enough...he likes the one i have but he likes my body as is...i respect this...the tattoo i did get i got this past summer...its on my inner wrist because for one im a (hobby) writer and two it shows my strength...its of cherries which seems typical of a girl my age but me and my friend know i have a cherry thing because for a long time i was mysterious to the point of befriending but not obtaining...it has irish styled tribals out to the sides (which i altered a little) and a star at the outside of each side...above it says miserable and below is says stranger...not because i was an outcast...i had friends...but i was an observer...i have a good sense of people i knew what everyone else was doing...whether or not they were comfortable with it and no one knew that about me...Miserable Stranger is a kinda writers surname for me...im saying this because im 20 years old...Im a mom of a wonderful two and half years old boy...I'm getting married in june...im not irresponsible...i have a decent job...I use computer programming to order lasers to cut parts out of sheet metal...and i have the stamina to handle the material...i am not in college at the time being...for lack of deciding what i want to do for the rest of my life...I did get into a private school for digital photography which i couldnt afford...for the most part i want to be a mom...Most of the people who know me, know me as intellegent and uncommonly understanding of people and other communications...

The issue of women choosing to tattoo is one of those beautiful personal liberties that ANYONE no matter their gender should have the right to enjoy.
I find it silly when people judge a personal choice as "right" or "wrong." It seems that only in the Great ole US of A do we call body art a "tramp stamp" and judge people for displaying or expressing their personal feelings or ideals. In many other cultures throughout the world, body art presence denotes either social importance, religious significance, or ceremonial traditions.
For example Henna, well-known and commercialized by our Western world, is considered a woman's art form. Used often to mark special events in a woman's life, especially marriage. The painted bride is denoted special by the intricate, elaborate henna patterns on her hands and feet, attesting to the liminal occasion in which she is transported from one stage of life to another.
Or Moko, the art of tattoo as practiced by the Maori of New Zealand. Worn by both men and women, moko was a sign of distinction, reserved for those who were the most noble and accomplished.
Just as body art is used throughout the world, many people have tattoos to represent something of importance to themselves. I suppose if you want to judge and feel like judging and want to be closed minded and stick to those guns, go ahead, that's your choice. But next time instead of judging someone with markings, perhaps ask them what they are and what they represent. Often times a star isn't just a star, it could be the representation of someone's lost grandmother watching over them and the green and gold colors are in memory of their grandfather who served our country...

I've never gotten any disrespect cause of my tattoos, I have 3 , one on my ankle ,my leg and on my shoulder blade . I love my tattoos there a piece of art permantly on my body. Im 24 .. my mom has 3 shes in her 40's and my aunt who has 5 got all hers within the last 2 years and shes 55, almost all the woman in my family have tattoos,, none of us have ever had any look down on us because of them ,

I am older than 30, and I am a woman, and I have 9 tats - one over each ankle, one on the back of my neck, one on each collar bone and a "necklace" in the front of the neck. I also have my lower right arm done with four totems.

Personally, I think tats are beautiful, and while I know there are others who find them abhorent, I think it's all a matter of personal taste. If people disrespect me because of the tats - not knowing who or what I am - then there is no need to worry about them, is there? Please know me before you judge me.

Ink is marvelous!! When done correctly is it breathtaking (I don't mean the skull and cross bones stuff). I would love to be able to afford a full back piece.
