Location: Vermont USA | No tats here, I have thought about my name on my forehead in case I get lost.
My grandfather when he came over from the old country was getting on the boat they wrote on his forehead TO NY when he arrived in NY they called him Tony. That's why so many Italians are named Tony.
Pauly :D |

Location: Central Massachusetts | I have tattoo of a crashing wave on my calf. It was a celebration of a significant transition in my life and a representation of independence. I've never regretted getting it and have considered getting others. |

But every day I wait takes one day off that "lifetime commitment" thing so ya never know. |

Does that count?

Location: New South Wales, Australia | I suppose I shouldn't be drinking beer as it's 7 in the morning here. But it's a public holiday down here in remembrance of a heap of young Australian soldiers who were killed in WW1 at Gallipoli in Turkey in 1915.
I took my wife and two kids to a dawn service this morning and it's traditional to have at least one cleansing ale to begin the day. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | I have always wanted ink as long as I can remember. I really think the art is amazing, especially in recent years with the growing popularity. I just can't seem to find a design that I want, that means something, that will be a permanent part of me.
Really frustrating, as I have seriously looked at designs and talked to artists.
Oh well... |

Location: Bluffton, SC | My only issue is the aging of the people wearing them. If it's a detailed one and you're, uh, "big", please, for the sake of everyone around you, don't turn 60. If that's not an issue, hell, I'm good with it. |

I have just not had another perfect storm of desire, meaningfulness, and creativity that I had that first time. |

Location: big island | as i mentioned, one of my five younger brothers is covered in tattoos. one of his best friends has a tattoo of his own face on top of his head. it was done very well and it is quite a freaky thing to see from a distance of about ten feet and further away. when he lowers his head to where his chin touches his chest, the 3D image of his face is still apparent and rather spooky. he also won several contests back in the late 70's and early 80's with that one. |

As they were growing and testing the waters I would say, "Sure.. you can get tatoos... Just a long as the first one says "I Luv My Daddy". |
