Do you like them or hate them, have you got one? I took a long time to get one, alot of thought went into it 20yrs in fact !!! i have a heart with a butterfly inside it between the shoulder blades. i got mine when i was 39. four of my kids have them, 16 year old is to young, and 4 of the men i dated / married had them. sandra

No, am quite modern in most things, but definitely don't like tattoos. Every man to himself (herself). Freedom to do what you like etc.etc.

When I was about 22 I went with a few mates to a Tattoo Parlour in Charlotte Street Portsmouth where the Tattooist, bless her, tried to draw a Jaguar's head on my arm. It looks like a strang hybrid of Lynx and Bull! Anyway by the time it came to the fourth person's turn we had started to sober up. IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME, YOUR HONOUR!!

hi sandra ive got a tat on my ankle and i love it its a dolphin i had it done on my 35th birthday dont want any more though. tina xxx

Always wanted one but I'm afraid i'm too chicken. Can't stand pain you see. (Say's she who has given birth to two children, one without the added benefit of drugs) 36 now so starting to feel too flabby, Lol! Also used to work in a laser clinic where we were always inundated with people paying large sums of money to get them removed! Pam

my hubby has got 12 tatts!! i love them. they are all on his arms except one,which is on his shoulder blade he looks all masculine lol i keep saying im gonna have one done but im too scared!! i always have a henna one done in the summer though ,does that count lol susie

mine is quite big and took 2 1/2 hours, i was scared too, but it really wasn't to bad the last ten minutes were the worse and even then it was only stinging. sandra

Don't mind little teeny discreet ones, like small butterfly on ankle or shoulder. Also don't mind one or two smallish one on men's forearms, but that's about it. Don't like to see lots and lots.

Thats another thing on my wishlist, getting a tattoo.I finally plucked up the courage after 10 years to get my belly button pierced last year and i wish i had done it sooner.Im just scared of the pain of having a tattoo.Guess ill wait another 10yrs before im brave enough to get a tattoo Anna

ooh ann i couldn't get my belly button done my girls did, i like them but it was bad enough getting my ears pierced. also my tummys to big it would get lost!!! sandra

I would never commit myself to anything so permanent unless I was sure I was going to like it in years to come. Thank goodness I never had it done as a young man as my taste is so totally different now, I would probably have to have a limb amputated. len

LOL Sandra, It didnt hurt a bit.I even watched while the guy did it.My sis got a tattoo on her wrist at the same time I got my belly pierced.I couldnt watch that though Anna

I have a Humming bird on my shoulder, and my daughter has a Butterfly on hers. We love them, but I wouldnt have any more though.

i have winnie the pooh on my shoulder, mum has a small butterfly tracy

Hubby was in the merchant navy before I met him and most of his were done abroad.He did have a small one that he didn't like so decided to have another one done over the top.It was of a horse's head....not bad but it had my name written under it so does this make me out to be the old nag???????? Our Son has a dolphin on his upper arm and a fancy black band on the other. One Daughter has a butterfly on her shoulder. Other Daughter has a small rose same place also a large black tattoo on her lower back. Me NO too chicken but I love them. Lynn

Hi I have a small dolphin on my shoulder.It's tail is wrapped round a pink heart Was thinking of getting a unicorn on the other shoulder or ankle Chris

I was in hospital once with a young woman having a tattoo removed from her forearm. The donor site on her leg where they took the skin to cover the removed area, was so raw and painful. I know lasers have somewhat changed this but I think tattoos should be thought of as permanent, and thought about carefully before going ahead. I'm with Deidre, I loathe them, but each to their own, I say.

thankyou for your replys, mummylonglegs, your opinion is wlecome on any of my threads, there are things i don't like as well, thats why were all individual, and i value everyone's individuality. take care sandra

I have a tattoo at the bottom of my back. It's a design i saw whilst in the shop and it's black and red. Didn't hurt to have it done, just felt like a scratch really. The most uncomfortable part was having the outline of the design done but the colouring in bit was a doddle! Tracey

I don't like them at all! My daughters have them though, one has a small scorpion on her boob and a small rose on her tummy & also has her bottom lip pierced :o( The other has a small Chinese symbol on her shoulder and a pattern acress the small of her back & also has her belly button pierced. Both my sons loathe tattoos and think their sisters are mad! It took me until I was 50 to even have my ears pierced! LOL Sue
