I just got my fourth tattoo....
a pink rose on the front of my left thigh to cover a scar. Does this make me the "tattooed lady" now?:blush:

2. The Who Wrote you a song
it's called 'Tattoo'

"Me and my brother were talking to each other
'Bout what makes a man a man
Was it brain or brawn, or the month you were born
We just couldn't understand

Our old man didn't like our appearance
He said that only women wear long hair

So me and my brother borrowed money from Mother
We knew what we had to do
We went downstairs, past the barber and gymnasium
And got our arms tattooed

Welcome to my life, tattoo
I'm a man now, thanks to you
I expect I'll regret you
But the skin graft man won't get you
You'l be there when I die
Tattoo

My dad beat me 'cause mine said "Mother"
But my mother naturally liked it and beat my brother
'Cause his tattoo was of a lady in the nude
And my mother thought that was extremely rude

Welcome to my life, tattoo
We've a long time together, me and you
I expect I'll regret you
But the skin graft man won't get you
You'll be there when I die
Tattoo

Now I'm older, I'm tattooed all over
My wife is tattooed too
A rooty-toot-toot, rooty-tooty-toot-toot
Rooty-toot-toot tattoo too
To you"


OK it was for a guy, but you gave me the earworm :hi:

3. Only if you wanna be.
I usually won't argue with people that have 4 tattoos.

11. I was only kidding caty.
But I'm sure you knew that.
I actually find tattoos attractive. Have two myself, working on a third.

4. I am a former Marine and am now 42- no tattoo's at all.
I guess I have been satisfied with the way I look and don't want any distinguishing marks on my body. ( In case I decide to take up a life of crime!)

6. I covered
up the four scars I got from an abusive first marriage. I could look at them and remember how I got them for the rest of my life, or look at two yellow roses, one pink rose, and a small white bird. I'm much happier with the tattoos.

7. That's a very nice way to help yourself past some bad memories.
I've considered getting at least one tatoo. But I've got no idea what that would be.

8. Go to a tattoo parlor and
Edited on Sun Sep-25-05 07:35 PM by caty
look through their catalogs. Pick something out and then go home and think about it for a month or three. When you're ready you will get it--or not!

10. I want to lose more weight first
then reward myself afterwards. I know I want one in a private area but that's about it.

15. Never get anything off the wall!
The wall I speak of is the wall of the tattoo shop.

When you go to a tattoo shop, you'll find that every wall is covered with "flash"--drawings of potential tattoos. This is what 90 percent of the people who have tattoos in this town get. And it's probably what 90 percent of the people who have tattoos in your town get.

Flash has one massive problem: five thousand people in the world are going to have your tattoo, and eventually you're going to meet one of them.

If you have a friend who's an artist, have your friend draw something on a sheet of paper and bring it in. A tattoo artist will turn it into something tattooable for not all that much money. Get that tattooed onto you and you'll have a piece that's totally unique.

12. Please do not take offense caty......
I am not judging you. You have every right to do as you will. I have always wanted to keep the life of crime option open (you never know) and tats always seem to give the perps away! Next thing you know your on americas most wanted!

14. Oh yeah.
Have to agree here. ;)

I'm actually thinking about getting an amphisbaena tattooed across my pecs once I'm lean enough.
