They are kinda forever, so I'd think people put thought into them, but from what I've seen we don't. Not very much.

I keep inking one onto my wrist with a pen, so I think it'll happen. A mnenomic to induce lucid dreams.

Do you have a tatoo you are proud of, or really want to get? Or a bad story to share?

but I have no tats.
Turned out to be a great decision. Now virtually everyone has 'em.
I've heard people expressing jealously that they wish they hadn't gotten any tats- or maybe just some of them.

Surprises me semi-permanent tats haven't gotten more su ...[text shortened]... n trend in the last 30 years.
I cant help but think it's a cheapway of 'earning' ' credibility'

My sister has multiple tattoos, at least one commemorating a friend who died recently. I would consider one except I don't do pain. I've thought of a triangle inside a circle with the numbers 3, 19, and 1984 inside (or just 3, 19, and 84). I've also considered a butterfly, even though that's very common. I'm not that visual or visually imaginative, so I haven't put a lot of thought into it. Except for the pain part.

No tattoos. Which is really cool because just about everyone has one now.
There was a sharp increase of people (especially amongst the young female demographic) getting tats in the 90's .
Before that it was linked to prison or bikers mainly.

I just don't believe all those people who tell me how special they are now because of their tattoo.
All t ...[text shortened]... people have them. Everyone is soooo cool now 😛

edit: oops I see I've already commented here

So a dude gets tats all over his face like Mike Tyson but what do you do when you are 50,60,70? You still gonna want some ugly ink you had done when you were 20 and drunk?

I see they can be removed but the process HAS to be painful, a powerful laser basically cutting into the skin and blowing away bits of ink a pulse at a time and at the end a day later ...[text shortened]... had an accident with a flame thrower.

No thanks. I'll take my decrepid skin the way it is🙂

As an older guy, I hate tattoos. Back in my youth the only people who has them were drunken sailors, and trashy ghetto ho's.
