Does anyone else here have many tattoos? I got some more work done this past month. My husband pays for it because he likes tattoos on me. I'm native American so many of my tattoos but not all of them have Indian designs. My arms are almost done now from shoulders to wrists. I have my breasts and stomach done and portions of my lower legs Eventually I may have most of my body tattooed except my face and hands. Does anyone here have any tattooing done? I like jewelry too, Indian jewelry and other jewelry especially gold. I love to wear bracelets, a necklace, several earrings and I also wear a nosering in my septum.

I only have 3 tattoos Dakota Diva-(although I do have both my nostrils pierced and wear nosestuds along with my earrings. I don't have my septum pierced though)-, but my mom is like you, she has a large part of her body tattooed.
My sister has been getting more tattoos lately too. What's funny about my sister is she, unlike my mom, is a very conservative person with a conservative husband and conservative child rearing ideas with her two kids, and she is a corporate woman who works in an office, has a typical bob haircut, dresses fairly conservatively, YET, she has all of these tattoos. She has them now on her breasts, upper and lower arms and a few other tattoos. She wears long sleeved shirts or blouses to work so her tattoos aren't visible. She is so different in her lifestyle and views on things than my mom but she may end up with as many tattoos as my mom. Who knows why she likes tattoos? I know one thing though, tattoos are really becoming much more common with women. I see more tattoos on women than on men these days.4!,!

I'm too young, and I wouldn't go anywhere that tattoos minors because it's dangerous if they're willing to break the law.
BUT, I MIGHT, when I'm older get a little smiley face and my stylised eye design done somewhere inconspicuous. Maybe. Or a Welsh phrase. $- P cn`dp0% 00BB .(4`p /.%%%,-)! !!%,!,`" !,

Enfys. I agree it's good for you to wait before getting tattoos. I got my first tattoo when I was 18. I have gotten two more since. Even 18 was maybe a little young.
I got my ears pierced when I was 13. I had a nostril pierced when I was 16 and the other nostril pierced and my ears pierced again when I was 18. I have each of my ears pierced three times now and both nostrils pierced but I usually only wear one pair of earrings and small nose studs in each nostril. 4!,!

My daughter has some but I don't really like them. And she was underage when she got them and now is not allowed to donate blood. I also am experiencing the skin changes that go along with middle age and I cannot imagine what a tatoo that I got as a youngster would look like now. I am shocked enough at the changes in my face, arms, legs, boobs, and stomach.
Plus, as I think I have stated here before, when I was growing up tatoos were only associated with very undesirable people and I am having a hard time with the paradigm shift from white trash to fashion statement. My problem, I know but there it is. $ S bd`ter - ,,bb - 0b` /4! $(!, $- $%%, ` "6

I have one tattoo, and plan on having a few more. I might end up getting my first one covered up with something else, I haven't made up my mind yet.
I'm also a body piercing fan..

Me and my best friend both have matching tattoos. On our forearm we got the chinese symbol for friendship. I really want to get another but I've been holding off, I don't want to look like a biker so I'm thinking of hiding this one.

Look like a biker Erika? Haven't you seen all of the women with tattoos in the world today? All kinds of women have tattoos! You live in Minnesota. What part of the state? If you live near the Twin Cities there are tattooed women all over the place there! Have you ever been to the Uptown district in south Minneapolis? A woman who isn't tattooed is the exception there! I live in western Wisconsin in the east suburbs of the Twin Cities so I know about Minnesota, or at least the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.
C'mon lady. It is no longer just biker chicks who have tattoos! All kinds of us women do! I have one of my tattoos on my upper arm. I often wear short sleeved dresses or shirts. I don't even worry about it! No one has ever said anything negative to me about it. They either compliment me on the design or usually don't say anything about it. I like my tattoos!4!,!

Tattoos are addicting CrazyGirl! So are piercings. So is getting your hair cut once you go to a short hairstyle.
I'm not getting anymore tattoos though. I only have three and I probably won't get many more, mainly because my mom and my sister have so many tattoos. I don't want to just imitate them. My ex-husband who I still see and am intimate with would like me to get more tattoos, he thinks they are sexy on a woman, but I told him no, I'm not getting any more tattoos.
I'm not getting any more piercings either. I already have my ears pierced three times each and both nostrils pierced. That's enough jewelry. Maybe I would consider getting my nipples pierced but not anytime soon.
As far as keeping my hair in a short pixie and getting it trimmed every few weeks, I am going to do that for a while. I don't know when or if I will grow my hair out again.4!,!

I think tattoos is a personal choice rather than a fashion statement 'cause I know few friends who refuse to get a tattoo at all although they're not conservative people. They just like totally bare skin lol without any adornments. Me, on the other hand, have a inconspicious tattoo that has a personal meaning and sums up who I am rather than choosing some popular design/art that you would regret later on (I've heard stories like that). I think tattoos are cool because they're art but if a person is covered from neck to down with tattoos...that's tad overboard. $- P cn`dp0% 00BB .(4`p /.%%%,$!%( ,$!!0 2 $$

I've thought of tattoos before, but I wouldn't get one on a forearm. . . probably not on an arm at all. . . because I'd like it to be somewhere easily covered by clothing. There are still some jobs and occasions where visible tattoos aren't allowed. I wouldn't wanna think I'd ruined my chance to get whatever job I want just for a few lines of ink. Or even worse, if they do let you get the job, they sometimes make you wear a big, ugly Band-aid over it or wear long sleeves all summer. . . I'd really rather save myself all that trouble, and just if I get one, put it somewhere inconspicuous and easily covered.! % Aaebade d !, ` . 4``

Well that's what my sister does, she wears longsleeves in the summer that cover all of the tattoos on her arms. Of course her office is air conditioned so she's comfortable.
Tattooing on women is becoming so common though that it is getting mre and more accepted in all kinds of occupations, just like nosestuds on women are.4!,!

I have many tattoos. I have tattoos on both breasts, my arms, my back, and both ankles.Some of my tattoos are influenced by the Orient. My back tattoo is an East-Asian theme of a Chinese woman in a garden.(I'm Chinese-American) Because I wear long dresses and cover most of my body, including at times wearing veils, you can't see my tattoos. My man can see my tattoos and that is enough for me. I have a number of piercings as well, including nostril, septum, ears, and breasts. !$% Pi ``d Re -)20`r .$0b # ! , ,$) $%%

I am old fashioned when it comes to tattoo-ing. I cant stop thinking 30ish years from now, when my skin will be all wrinkly , those tattoo's will look diformed and pretty nasty on an old gal. As someone mentioned, some jobs do not allow tattoo-ing. I like summer clothes, and I wouldnt be willing to wear long sleeves , or long pants just to cover my ink . My husband has a tattoo on his arm, but now he regrets it ( he did it while he was in the army) I guess each with their own taste.

I personally think tatoos look very tacky.. Just because they are so "in your face" and they can't be taken off, what do you do when you want to wear a nice strap-less dress, what about business parties, and stuff like that? I have already decided never to get one, because I like dressing up, and looking super-classy, and i prefer accessories that can be removed! :) But that is just my humble opinon. !

Lovebug I think you made a very good comment about accessories being removable.
In my opinion accessories were made to be seen by everyone that is around you and a tattoo is more of an intimate symbol of self expression, at least to me it is.
I think the reason why some people might see tattoos as ofensive or goddy is because a person may feel that they are being exposed to too much.
Most people who get tattoos get a symbol or picture that represents themselves (thoughts, attitudes, passions, etc.)
A person with many noticable tattoos may be frontloading too much information.
I am thinking of getting a tattoo on my body wear My bikini would be sufficient enough to cover it and only seen by someone I am intimate with.,!!,
