Feel like i'm a minority, eveyone these days seem to be tattoo'ed. Should've trained as a tattoo artist rather than a graphic designer.

Never ever wanted one. Loads of mates got them a couple of years ago when it was in vogue now they all want them off; cue expensive laser removal.

I got one small one but it doesn't really count. I'm more into piercings myself, I also like the idea of scarification/branding too but I'd have to think of something creative and cool if I was to get decorative scars (not fake bear/lion/shark attack scars or removed wings etc...)

The way I see it, unless you get something family related, at some point in your life  you are gonna want that tattoo off.

I have none, all my brothers and sisters got them, my dad was covered in them. I never saw anything I liked enough to have the rest of my life, for me a tattoo has to mean something to me and perhaps tell a story, also im not best keen on needles.

I doubt i will ever get a tattoo

I have 2 small ones, both of which are in places that very few people get to see - which is good coz they're both a bit crap. If they were visible i'd have had them removed.

 

Here's to being young & daft eh dunce

Nope, plenty of scars though, mainly from when I used to be a knife throwers assistant in a circus.

I'm getting the one on my left arm removed. Not because I don't like the design, it's the location I have issues with.

I'm planning a large one for my back though. I've found an amazing artist who will be able to do it in exactly the style I want.

I haven't.  Most look hideous.  I *might* have something done as and when I have children but, other than that, no thanks.

oi this is a thread for those of us 'without' tattoos to be able to speak in a demeaning manner of those with tatoos, not a place to celebrate them.

yeah my current girlfriend ex came home one day with a "surprise" he had her name tattoo'd on his shoulder, less than 12 months later they are no longer together and hes stuck with a tattoo of some ex on his shoulder for all his future girlfriends to see.

Having peoples name tattoo'd is always a bad idea, unless its your children.

But even then the mother of my youngest son has his name tattoo'd on her arm, 4 years ago I took full parential responsibility and her son now lives with me full time, and all she has is a shit tattoo.

Nah I not got one. 

They do look cool and for ages I was thinking one day I would get one. I think there are a lot of talented tattooists out there but at the end of the day I can appreciate a nice illustration or design without it getting permanently etched into my skin. I would only get bored of it and then regret getting it done even if it looked absolutely amazing at the time... There are also some fucking shite tattoos out there and I wonder what the hell were people thinking when they got them done - probably not thinking which was what made them go through with it

Yeah, maybe something less dramatic than that.

I find it funny how people assume that anyone who has a tattoo will regret it or that it'll look strange seeing an elderly person with tattoos. Thing is, when we're elderly the current generation of elderly people will be long gone and the way an elderly person looks will, as always, reflect the times they grew up in.

I've got one, I came up with the concept years ago, sat on the idea for 3 years, and after that time I still wanted it. Spoke to an artist, and 6 months later we came up with the design that I was happy with. Definitely not something I rush into getting, and I am happy with what I got.

The point that a lot of people miss about tattoos though is that it shouldn't just be a picture that you like, 'cos like you say, you can appreciate it on paper. A skilled tattooist will create a work of art that suits where it's placed and could not be appreciated drawn on a flat piece of paper.

I don't see the point in wasting money on putting a picture on my skin - would rather spend my cash on more worthwhile things like drugs.

Exactly. I really couldn't care what people think of mine or what they're going to look like when i'm elderly, if I'm lucky enough to reach that age. I want to grow old disgracefully anyway, so bring it on thumbsup

Al hasn't got any either, he must be one of the few people I know without any, every now & then he makes some noise about getting some Japanese artwork on his arm but it never comes to anything... 

I've had one lasered off (thumbsdown  dunce 2far wink but still have two I'm quite happy with although I don't think I'll be getting any more done, just a re-ink job to brighten my colour up
