When their tramp stamps become directional signs?

I think about that too, especially the ones with all the holes in their ears, nose, etc.

i have 1 hole in each ear...and 2 holes in my nose

<---doesn't have a tramp stamp. Mine are foot, ankle, and left shoulder blade. And quite frankly, I dont care what they're going to look like when I'm 60. I probably won't be able to see my feet, and I already can't see the one on my back. As for my nose ring, if and when I'm ready to take it out.. I'll do just that. Will grow up, and I'll never have to see it again.

FWIW - I agree with MB. How do you know that in 20 years you'll still like them? Obviously, getting a tattoo is a personal choice and no one can tell you whether you should or not.

I guess I'm old and I just don't 'get' it, although my husband got his at 50 and has never regretted it. Of course since it's on his calf most people would have no idea he has one. My step-daughter had 3 by the time she was 21. At almost 24 now she regrets getting them.

Each of my tattoos has a personal meaning.. I didn't go on some whim and get these. I got my first at 18 & 2nd at 19. While I haven't had them 20 years, I haven't had the first regret, nor do I anticipate having a regret from how I feel about them almost 8 years later.

For those who feel they need to say anything about how I'll feel about 'em when I'm 60, lecture me on smoking or drinking or driving too fast.. those are things which could kill me.

LOL, defensive much?

I was just stating that many people, maybe not you, or maybe you, regret their tattoos later in life.

That is all I was saying.

I'm just in a pissy mood.

I got the best b-day card from my aunt. It's two old men sitting on rockers on a front porch. As one of the guys hold his arm up for the other, other guy is saying, "A heart? An eagle? A mermaid?

The caption: In 2055, retirement village residents play a game of "Guess what the tattoo used to be!"

Sweet. At least my husband and I will be the life of the retirement home party.

yeah, that sailing ship on my bicep is not sea worthy any longer.....

^^^^ ^^^


I don't know Beth- I think if I get a wrist one - they'll think I have a bracelet on. My tat on my foot shows most of the time with the shoes I wear.

On a really thoughtful note- My daughter has stars on both sides of her hips going up- I don't know how many but all I'm thinking about is when she is older and is with baby - those stars aren't going to look so pretty.

Those stars are going to be "falling" stars some day, lol.

Kind of like the roses well endowed women put on their chests. Some day they'll be a long stemmed rose.

I saw a young woman with a large sunshine around her belly button once.

Picture that one after a couple of pregnancies.

My sisters' neighbor - one of the nicest guy's I've ever meant- he is 82 and he has a pic of his dog on his arm - his dog is his life and Duke is 12 years old and is moving slowly- cattle dog- the prettiest dog - I love to pet him and play with him- anyhow he is going to get the pic retouched - and like I said the guy is 82 and the tat still looks good.

::ears perk up::

I wear pants every day, and they're long enough to cover my foot tattoo, so my foot tat isn't a problem. I just haven't gotten any that anyone at work would see. If I do get one on the inside of my wrist, it probably won't be when I'm working at a bank.

As for the nose ring, I have a clear retainer. No one can tell I have it in.

^^^^^ Gets my vote for longest run-on sentence in the cooler, lol.

I'm hoping she doesn't get anymore. She doesn't need anymore. She's suppose to be saving for school.

LOL- I know- oh well!

is it time for our daily cavs salute?

GO CAVS!!!!!!!!!
