Tattoo's

[2leftfeet]

Does anybody have tattoos they wish they hadn't had done? I got one, after ignoring everybody telling me I'd wish I hadn't got it. But I was all "Ohh I won't, I'll love it" and guess what? Now...I wish I hadn't got it! Anybody done it?

There must be lots of people who had had tattoos and regetted it. I cannot see what the attraction is for getting a tattoo. OK you see the odd one which is quite nice i.e the lower back of a woman looks nice if she is slim, I also saw a nice one on a womans ankle once and it was a little bird, flower or something small like that. You can either try and get it removed or put up with it. As there are millions of people all over the world with tattoos and they are getting more common people don't seem to notice them as much as they used to.

yep. I love tattoos and have a few but one in particular I have regretted. Not the tattoo itself but the place I have it.

It's a lovely flower between my boobs which at the time I thought was so sexy. I still think it's really nice I would've just liked to have had a bit lower as I'm the kind of person who have tats for my benefit and don't like broadcasting them. And I never thought of low cut tops at the time. I can't really wear low cut because it shows off half of the tattoo and people commenting on it always makes me self concious although everyone always admire it. But must admit with time I have gotten used to it and is getting used to not caring

The complaints I have heard seem to be in two areas: (1) the quality is poor, (2) the tattoo goes out of style. For example, I know a young man who has several tattoos by different artists, and it is easy to see the difference in quality. This same fellow has several Chinese sayings or dates, words, I don't know, but he says that is the trend right now, and he is quite proud of them. I know people who have tattoos that are quite old, and of course, quite out of style. There is not much that can be done except removal which is quite costly.

I think it is smarter to get the henna tattoos that come off in about a month.

I saw an old Steve Coogan show the other day, where he dresses up a the "tart" Pauline Calf.

He (she?) said she has had a chinese tattoo done down her right arm which was to have said "Spirit of the night".

In fact it says "Spirits all night" and she keeps being chased around by oriental winos trying to buy a drink.

Well I thought it was funny

I think I have heard that some celebrity in Hollywood has a Kaballa tattoo on her neck, and it is mispelled. In addition, I think I have heard that Kaballa forbids tattoos. I would think she has regrets about her decision for that tattoo.

I got a tribal band tattoo round the top of my left arm a few years ago and loved it at the time. Now I wont wear anything that shows it off as I absolutely hate it. Wish I had never got it now but I still love my other two (on my belly and lower back)

I got a chinese symbol on my shoulder blade when I was 18... really hate it now... does my head in people asking what it means all the time & looks so tacky when I go to posh do's... gonna have to get it lazered before I get married... defo don't wanna be walking down the isle with that on show!! :-(

I have two tattoos, one I don't like so much anymore as I was 16 when I had it done and it is really bad quality and is quite naff. The one I had done recently I love and is really well done. Luckily the one I don't like is small and on my back so hide-able. I am saving up to get it covered up with a differnt design though - that's usually the best option as laser removal still isn't that reliable.

I've got one just below the nape of my neck - it took me 4 years to decide to get it done once and for all..I wanted to be certain that it was the right thing for me and until I stopped asking for peoples advice, only then I knew I really really wanted one.

so here I am, a lovely tattoo on my back...... a kokopelli, with the sun behind him and a couple of musical notes surrounding him.

My hair is pretty long so whenever I wear something that's pretty low cut you only get flashes of the tattoo.

Where is your tattoo lefty? and what is it?
