I have 3, which I forget I even have most of the time, except when my daughter says, “Butterflies!” when she sees my ribs, or when someone asks what the meaning is behind the stars on my wrist.
I want another one, but I can’t come up with a design or decide where to put it.
I have one on my ankle that I’ve had for about 5 years. It’s a picture of a cat that I designed myself, but the tattoo artist made it pretty. The only thing I don’t like about it is that I can’t see it very well, so I have an appointment for the end of the month to get another one on my left forearm.
I turn 27 on the 28th of this month. So, yes, 27ish.
Ask around before you go, ask to see their autoclave, ask about the precautions they take to keep everything sterile, etc. A good tattoo shop *will not be offended *that you’re asking.
Yeah, I often forget about mine, in a general sort of way, since I can’t see it except in mirrors or photos. Pretty sure a friend has a picture somewhere of the last shot of my neck without a tattoo. (A couple folks decided to come to the tattoo parlor with me.)
None. I’m 35, for the record. I’m the only guy at or near my age that I know of that doesn’t have one, or at least doesn’t have at least one garishly visible tattoo. I’ve noticed my younger students are either foregoing tattoos, or are being more discreet about them.
The last few girls I’ve dated (several tattooed, and the ex-fiance had a full body work) were pleasantly surprised that I didn’t have any, and were all vehement that I should stay ink-free.
No. My son has enough for the entire family, plus. He has 3/4 sleeves on both arms, his entire back and part of his chest covered. I choose to find it. . .eccentric.
I have one on my right shoulder. When I got it, I promised myself that I would wait 5 years before I got another to keep myself from running out and getting something impulsive. It’s been 14 years and I still haven’t figured out what I want the next one to be.
As others have said, I forget mine is there. Sometimes when I catch a glimpse of it in a mirror, I think it’s a huge bug and try to swat it off.
