Tatoo

[Matt H]

Ive been in this certain boat for a few years, wanting to get a tatoo across the top of my back (shoulders) and every time i go to the parlours i cant make my mind up as to whether to go for it or not? :search: ive found a tatoo i like but im not sure whether to commit

Right now i want one, but im scared that i will regret it in the future?!

Should my apprehension to the matter say:

Well if you not 100% dont bother, tatoos are for life

or should it be more like:

Its not the end of the world across you back and you might not regret it. Anyway, live for your youth?

Im just not sure, what do we think?

[JamieP]

Dont do it.

[mr lover]

if you are not sure do not do it, i have loads but i was sure :)

[AlanM]

Don't, you should be sure

[Pig]

Not for me. I would say no

Don't if you are not sure, I was nursing tatoo idea for over a year :p I did it at the end, but i really like it :)

Don"t do it unless you want to look ........dare I say it .....a bit ........common. They look awfull when they get old & faded.I know quite a few guys & even more women that regret having tatoos done 5 or so years ago . If they self destruct after a few years then thats a different senario.Piercings can be removed & heal over.
I"m assuming this is your 1st.

One of the things that my mother repeatedly stressed to me when I was growing up was that a tattoo was for life, and it wasn't something you should change your mind about. It's had an effect, and something I never forget. I think you have to be very sure before you do it. (The irony is, she has some tattoos these days).

I had the same thing and to be honest i think one of the major things is going to be the pain for the one i want.
Last year on holiday i got one of those henna tattoo's to see how it would look and it was brilliant. Just need to work up the nerve and find the money :D

I'm not a tattoo person either, so I would have to say no... something you pick today you might hate in 10 years time...

That said, my missus has a few and I suppose I've gotten used to them.. personal preference I suppose. I did toy with idea of getting UV one so at least it wouldn't be visible in normal daylight.

I have a number of tattoos (6) and I knew that I wanted them without a shadow of a doubt. I picked one in a rush though and wasn't happy with it - I don't have any choice now :D

Don't do it unless you are 100% sure.

My tattoos are for me and they are symbolic, I can hide them all just wearing a t-shirt. IMO this is best as it doesn't matter if I am at a family barbeque or eating at le manoir, I can still wear short sleeved shirts and noone is any the wiser.

Good luck, whatever you do.
