I like tattoos, and I even really wanted some when I was younger. I even had a rough outline of a sleeve I wanted.

But as I've gotten older (mind you, I'm only a few months before 23), I like the idea on my body less and less. The only thing I think I'd get now is possibly my mother's handwriting. That's about it. But I do love other people's tattoos, and I even follow quite a few instagram pages of tattoo artists.

I don't have any and I never really wanted one. I think tattoos are a cool way to express yourself though. If I had to get one maybe it'd be something small on my ankle. :) I'm just afraid that I would get tired of it and wish I got a different design.

I've always liked the idea, but have yet to find any single art that I like so much I'd want it permanently on me. Plus, I'm in a super conservative career and don't want to deal with all of that judgemental nonsense either.

I've got three. I'll post pics once I get back to my computer and can upload them somewhere. Two are small Harry Potter tattoos that I got mostly because my dad said I'd never be able to and then decided he'd pay if I could get them. So yeah, but they were only $60 total. My last one though is my pride and joy. It's an.Alice in Wonderland tattoo in the American Traditional style. It cost $300, and has been one of the best purchases I've ever made for myself.

I see tattos as a way to express yourself and to allow people who may not enjoy what their body looks like, to make their body their own. Each time I get one, it give me a reason to like that part of my body.

@ghost: Tattoos are just more permanent. That said, for your first one, I recommend getting something that means something to you or that you're not going to get sick of. All three of mine currently have tremendous meaning to me. The next one I'm getting, which will be Sailor Moon themed won't have as much meaning, but will be really pretty.
