Tattoo

[First]

Ok , here goes , I am turning 40 in July and am seriously thinking of getting a tattoo to mark the occasion . Something small with my 2 daughters and grandson's names . Am I mad ? .

Any ideas on a tattoo if I do go ahead and get one.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that. i've an uncle who has the wife and two daughters tatoo'd on his arm aswell as a few others. there not that bad when there something so small, but these big ones are just awful. the uncle has a few celtic ones there actully a class bit work of art!!

Maybe you could get it sponsored?

The WoW Gold selling website has paid Russian porn star $500,000 to tattoo their company's logo and website URL to her breasts.

Maybe you could spend the money on something worthwhile instead?

I agree - as a respectable 40 year old you should get a permanent, non removable, trendy for now, fitting nicely on your skin now but likely to look ridiculous when you are 65 body marking stabbed into you by a "professional" bloke stabbing you with a set of needles in different colours

Well done

I've always liked the idea and thought about getting one myself but was never quite sure what type to get. An ex of mine had a tatoo on her lower back, not too big, very sexy I thought! It's like everything I suppose, personal taste, some of them can be terrible though. The only thing that would really bother me would be the sterilisation and safety of the needles etc, but then look at the amount of people too that have them and no problems.

Seriously? In some circles, these are known as "tramp stamps", and with good reason.

My brother got one done of Che Guevera - only prob is that he looks cross eyed - a bit of a mess up, so be careful!!!

Personally, I'd rather iron my sac than draw some rubbish on my body!

I prefer the term "slag tag"

Still though, while not a fan of tattoos, they can be sexy on some girls...you know what type I'm on about

In fairness if you're going to get a mass murderer tattoo'd on you, there are better ones to pick than Gay Guevera

I have always been torn on this, loving them one day and hating them another day.

I have an foot long scar on my ankle from breaking it a few years ago and it bugs me when wearing skirts so have often thought I should get it incorporated into a tattoo by turning it into the stalk and having a flower drawn on top.

Then I think of when I am older and wrinklier and I chicken out.

Thanks for assuming I am respectable but my thinking about this is more in a symbolic manner . It is something to mark the good things in my life so far , my daughters and grandson. I am not really worried about what it will look like when I am 65. The tattoo, if I am to go ahead with it will be done by a professional and a very good one indeed.

You assume it will be rubbish then , thanks for your thoughts on the matter.

Being from Dublin and all, and sounding like someone who is experienced in these circles, I'll defer to your obvious greater knowledge of such matters!
