but afte ryou get one, how will anyone see it after the hair grows back? Cuz, unless it's made in day-glo bright bright ink, your hisrute beautifulness aint gonna let no tattoo show its way through.

get an art student to odesign you one. Tattoos shoul dbe personally created anyway, is my opinion. Maybe a sax with a teddy bear climbing out of it?

Whatever you do ... take ... your...time...deciding...what...tattoo...to...get!

It took me over a year to decide what I wanted. Get something that means something to you that you will want to see when you are 90 years old with saggy skin and wrinkles!

I have a Claddagh (Irish symbol meaning - love, loyalty and friendship) on my arm and Irish flag on my ankle. I will always be irish so why not. Also just a suggestion get the first one where you can cover it with a shirt/pants or something - but can show it off if you want too.

Just my 2 cents!

agree. and don't put anything in a foreign language unless you have a native speaker you trust translate it for you. i have seen people with tattoos that they thought meant one thing but was actually another. i've seen a person at the gym who had the chinese word for "strength" tattooed on his arm. unfortunately, it had the female prefix on it. so what it really meant was "female strength". maybe he was a tranny.

Good advise about foreign language tattoos, I was in a tattoo place once and was looking at the Chinese/ Japanese symbols they had. I noticed one of them was both upside down and backwards. I pointed this out the poeple working there and asked if that's the way they'd put it on someone, and they said yes, they do whatever's on the wall.

Throw my 2 cents in with your 2 cents. Make it meaningful. When you're sixty, are the reasons you got a Nintendo symbol tattoo going to be something you'd be proud to explain?

Hmmm. I would go for something timeless and graphical for your first one. Maybe a tribal armband or something. We want pictures once you have it done :-)

Every time a barbed wire tattoo goes on a man's bicep, an Angel is sucked into a hay baler and fed to cattle.

As people have said before, it's best to get a tattoo that you not only will be proud of for a long time, but something that at least has a good story.

Every tattoo should have a good story -- so avoid anything that is generic.

I got my first tattoo two weeks after my 18th birthday, and it still great to talk about. they are with you forever, so get something that is meaninful and important, and if it will make someone laugh or bring up a good conversation, so much the better.
