Oh...don't do it. I have one of those 'potential' disasters. I don't care that it was free. It is a terrible mess and I have to pay now to get it fixed.

I will do it anyway. And when it goes bad I'll have something to regret. I'm not a fan of thinking things through.

Got an eagle on my forearm.
a) Coz I'm military and most of us have 'em.
b) Coz I was out of my tree!!!

Good story goes with this. My mate was having his done at the same time. His name was CLINT.
I kid you not the tattooist screwed up and joined the L and I together! Think about it...........
Best thing was he loved it! Then again he was a Fireman.

I got mine about a year about. I'd been thinking about it for a few years, so I knew I wanted it. My friend made me a really cool design of the one I wanted. Then my tattoo artist friend was coming for a visit from Latvia so I decided marry it, why not! I still love it.

All my tattoos have significant meaning to me.

either if its something to remember or something to help me through stuff.

my left arm thats a working progress is inspiration for me going thru depression.

tattoos are the ultimate art of self expression!

I don't have any tattoos and don't ever personally want any - call it a statement of my life-long individuality and complete defiance of societal norms.. But I did attend the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo once and thoroughly enjoyed it... especially the motorcycle display team and the puppet shows!!!!!

yes it might make you stranger ,if you got a tattoo scriptwriter .but for me i think it more the endorphin rush, as well as the art .

7th November 2005 - a red letter day... got my first tattoo whilst on holiday in Lanzerote. Originally wanted one done for my fortieth, but my partner at the time was against them.

Anyway that week, had three done, my friend told me they were addictive and boy was she right!!!

Got eight in total now, all Native American themed apart from the one on my lower back. My favourite one is on my upper left arm and is a memorial to my dog. Andy (Needlemaster) Majorca worked with me on it and his dreamcatcher design always gets a good response.

The most painful one, dreamcatcher on the back of my neck... Jaxx assured me it wouldn't hurt, I had to bite back the tears as it was done at the Manchester Expo just over two years ago.

Regrets... none what so ever.

But I'm so glad I waited, because now I have a theme that I really love.
