For me, the idea of getting a tattoo is terrifying not because of the pain, but because having other people see it seems like it would inevitably be embarrassing. Like no matter what, if I'm shirtless or showing some skin, I'm afraid of getting stared at or asked for explanations. I feel like it's easier to just hide it, in which case you might as well not get one in the first place. Does anybody else think like this, or am I being too self-conscious?

Im not opposed to getting a tattoo, I just cant think of anything I want on me permanently. I change my mind too often.

People who get tattoos do it because they don't take it seriously.

A tattoo tells you more about the person looking at it than the person wearing it.

Tattoos are magical. Don't get one unless you are ready for it to transform you physically and spiritually.

Same.

TC there are some embarrassing tattoos.A coworker of mine wants to get her front window tattoos changed into something reasonable.You can tell she got them young just pointing at the first page ones lol.

I've never done it but I would get a TX state or Army tattoo because I know I wouldnt want to change it.def on a shoulder that nobody cany see.They were just too expensive and I grew out of the idea.

If the tattoo is well done, and looks good on you, people wont haggle you too much. I either get a lot of compliments about my tribal tiger on my shoulder, or nothing at all. Now if you get a tattoo that ends up looking like hot shit, well...

I think of my tattoos as a way of bringing a little piece of my deeper self to the surface. When people see them or ask about them, I'm happy to talk about it. Everyone has their own opinion on what a tattoo says about the person who wears it, it doesn't make a difference to me, I got them because I wanted to express an idea forever. I also waited until I was a bit older before deciding to start putting pieces together, to make sure that I was acting in accordance with my values.

I dated a girl with tattoo sleeves

Every. Single. Day. Someone had to make some stupid comment on them. Total strangers -- and then they'd want to show you their dumb tattoos.

Turned me off of getting one

Man, I can't tell you how many times I've looked at a model or pornstar and thought "they'd be perfect if it weren't for the tattoos"
it's like using a Sharpie on the Mona Lisa
