No thanks if you were meant to have pictures on your body you would be born with them
That is my feeling as well Scared off needles so that would also stop me as well

Mind you, a tattoo ain't as bad as a 4" bolt rammed through yer nostrils and a 2" one through yer highbrow, complete with a dozen safety pins sticking through your left ear lob.
Good point tealeaf! over here they won't pierce or tattoo you if you have any alcohol in your system ! makes me safe!!!!!

There's a new tattoo studio opened on blackburn road, next to the new Larger Monkey shop that used to be cellar5, dont know if its the same guy tho.

B.
its definately the same guy(used to be on abbey street).he did my first piercing...he is brill.
got my lip pierced, but no tattoos.i had the side of my lip done b4 n had to take it out due to a complaint from someone at work (personal choice though) and it doesnt show now.whereas i wont have a tattoo cos if i get bored of it you cant just 'get rid' so easy.
now got the centre pierced by a different studio in acc but i wouldnt go there again.and it was more expensive:(
 
ive just had anoyher tattoo done (sorry wingy) went to sstudio one on warner street
really good
had a butterfly on the botton of my back in pain now for a while though
 
just a plane black out line of a butterfly very simple. it will look nice when the swelling has gone down
 
Well I have 2 tattoos..... one on my upper arm and one on my leg..... gotta admit neither really hurt that much though the leg one did bleed quite a bit...... I think the odd one can be ok, but not keen on the ones that cover practically half ur body, but that I guess is a personal choice
 
I have two tatoos, a dragon crawling up my lower back, and a strawberry on my bum cheek. I love my tatoos! :thumbsup:
 
When I was too young to have a tattoo I always thought I would get one as soon as was old enough - truth is - it's such a big decision choosing something that you have to live with all your life that I haven't bothered.

I also like the small discreet ones rather than large ones. And I'm not too fond of any piercings near the mouth.

I think that there are too many kid's role models with alot of tattoos - especially nowadays when you can get temporary ones.
 
Although these days tattoos are for decorative purposes about 100 years ago for sailors they had a practical purpose.
They would put a Tattoo of a pig on one foot and a tattoo of a rooster on the other, this they believed would protect them from drowning!

Of course a better way to prevent drowning would be to learn to swim, I guess...


I don't really go for tattoos either, but as others have said, it's personal choice.

I thought about having an ear pierced awhile ago, then possibly my eyebrow, but never got round to making a decision, so never bothered.

I have never worked out why people have their tongue pierced though... :confused:
 
I must admit I find tattoos on a man quite sexy if they are done well. The old ones were good the skulls dragons e.t.c I used to like looking at my name on my Dads arm. But nowadays people seem to go over the top having them on knuckles & necks. I personally would not have one as I just don't see the point and can find better use for my money.
 
had some for 40 years,never regretted them exept the ones on my hands,bear this in mind anyone thinking of being tattooed,on your hands doesnt matter how expensive the clothes you wear. you NEVER look dressed up. so i would say on HANDS should be a no-no.
 
When i look at the young women nowadays that have them on their backs i wonder what they will think when they are 70 years old.!!!!!!!!!
 
All I hope is that these young girls who are having butterflys engraved on their pert little buttocks are busy putting money away in their piggy bank to have the said same removed from what will be a bulbous mass of quivering lard in some 30 or 40 years time.
Otherwise, it will be us men who once again will be forking out money to fund the NHS in order to reverse this childish female caper.
