The Tattoo Thread!!

I got my first one 3 yars ago at the age of 35 and I'm up to 8 - I do this for me, and couldn't care less what other ppl think.
I'm always planning the next one....even as I'm getting one done!

I'm in my late 30's now, and I have loads of friends who have them, but wish they didn't. Most of them got them when they were younger and thought it would be cool. Now that they are a little older, most of my friends are embarrased by them (again, especially the females). The main problem I see with them is that eventually you're going to get tired of it. But it will ALWAYS be there. To each his own, but I just think alot of people are getting them because it's the "in" thing to do, and most of those people are going to regret it later in life.

This is on my left calf. It's PMD which stands for my 2 best friends and myself. Paul, Mike (who died) and Dennis.
I, personally, love this tatoo. Hope you guys appreciate it too.
I have 2 more. a scorpion (b/c I'm a Scorpio) on my left shoulder, and a Chinese symbol for "friend" on my right shoulder. When I get pics, I'll show them.

here are mine, I took the pics with my camera phone so the quality's not the best.

Truthfully you shouldn't have posted on here, this is for peeps that want to show they artwork off, so let them. Some of us don't like xAs but we let you post pics. Some of us think about our tats first. Now let's move along.
