How do you feel about tattoos and body art?

[Barb99]

Don't care for them on women or men. Would never get one.

I don't mind tattoos, some are quite interesting to look at! I don't know if I'd get one, myself; if I ever do it'll probably be something small, a little dragon or band logo somewhere, nothing very big like a sleeve or something q: At the moment though I can't get any since I'm not old enough, haha

I have the clouded leopard in my avatar on my left thigh. I have a spotted panther on my right thigh. A Bengal tiger on my left stomach and side. I have a stripper tat of a leopard on my right side ( only small one about 12 inches).

Haven't got any which surprises a lot of people as I'm a biker who's into punk & metal. I like well done tattoos but there are some terrible tattoos which look awful. I grew up in the 60s in a fishing town so tattoos were common place among the fishermen, also ear rings. My Grandmother pierced ears with a darning needle, ice cubes & a cork from being a girl at the turn of the 20th century til the early 70s. She'd probably be arrested today!

 There never was anything I would want to mark my body permantley with, though since I have transitioned I think I am going to get one too celebrate that I am still here.

Love em'! I have both lobes pierced, and my right helix pierced twice, plus a tattoo of a moon design on the side of my foot, and an oroborous  on my shoulder. I'm going to get a sleeve done of Disney, cartoon and anime villains done in a few months, and plan to get more done one my chest and back when I fully transition and have been on hormones for several years

Not got any myself but always wanted one, just on my shoulder/upper-arm. I think I'd want something gender neutral, any ideas? (clean suggestions only pls ;-) ).

I love bracelets and anklets of vines and flowers.  I have seen a lot of nice butterflies on women who transition, like Karen's monarch.  I also love dragonflies for similar reasons.  Good to be certain of our choices as they live a lifetime

Tattoo artist have great portfolios these days.  Yes there are still skulls and bloody knifes available, as well as "mom" filled hearts

I change my mind so often that I'd never get something so permanent. I'd probably wake up some morning and hate it.

Those kinds of regrets have spawned a lucrative market in laser tattoo removal.

I've never been excited to "damage" my body with tatts. However I do plan maybe a nice little heart on my upper butt one day & my electrolysis lady does permanent eye makeup & permanent lip liner work. So maybe that's the same thing. On a man some rough tatt is OK but on a nice woman I just do not see ruining your nice skin.

Have 4.... Maybe... I am getting one covered with two big ones currently so is that six? Confusing. it will be a chest piece with a quarter sleeve and the chest piece won't get cut off when I have top surgery. one on the back of each shoulder and one in the front. I'd show you guys cause the chest piece is awesome... but I'm not allowed to post pics yet, so soon. My advice never just go in for a walk in tattoo get a reputable place that takes appointments and consults, don't skimp on the price, save more for a good artist and never sit for more than 4 hours at a time, go in for multiple sessions if needed. If anyone is in the Chi area I highly recommend Speakeasy Custom Tattoo Shop on North Ave
