    Interesting :icon_bigg I have to think a lot about this. I'm obsessed with the fire and maybe the moon (for the myth of Platone about the androgynes).

    I agree with the fire thing; I like to meditate with a candle lit for this reason. But what is this myth that you speak of???? :icon_bigg Platone?? Enlighten me!

    Several tattoos are Ok, but whole body covered in them is not my thing. I'd only get a tattoo if it represented something really meaningful to me.

    I really like them no full body parts, but anything less than that is really hot. I don’t have one really want to get one. BluetoPurpletoPink Stanley Cup(black outlines) is what I would get.

    I like them, but they should be tasteful, or have some meaning. :slight_smile:

    I think people tend to take them too seriously, trying to find something "symbolic" and "meaningful" to draw on their skin, when it can be more simple. I don't mean that you should get stupid tattoos without thinking etc but, come on, even if it doesn't exactly suit you 30 years from now, it will remind you how you were when you had it done, or you can find it a different meaning. And of course, if you like very very much a tattoo from an aesthetic point, you can get it for purely decorative reasons.
    I don't have any tattoos, but I'd like to get either a moon, a cat or a minoan labyrinth. I can't decide though...

    Refrained from voting because I do sometimes like tattoos on others and might like them on me, but I have none. And it's frequent enough that I don't like them that I can't say for sure.

    I prefer it when a tattoo brings out somebody's natural beauty and works with their body, rather than just being a goofy quote or picture of something. I understand if something is very meaningful, but even then there is a good chance of it being in poor taste.

    I think tattoos are pretty cool
    They are interesting and can show off a lot about someone
    If i did get a tattoo i think it would have to be small and unobtrusive because my parents would not approve

    I love tattoos! However, I'm a bit afraid of needles, so I doubt I'll ever get one.
    If I could, I'd tattoo the last phrase of my favourite poem, 'Two Loves', or a small dragon on my thigh.

    I like them
    I have one and want a few more
    I think a few is hot, but too many looks bad. Some people can pull it off.
    Face tattoos are stupid in my opinion
    Anywhere else is okay

    I want to get Harley Quinn diamonds on my upper left leg :slight_smile:

    I love tattoos and have a few myself. Don't like them on the face though.

    I love tattoos! As long as they aren't too big or there aren't too many. I think they look nice on other women. It really depends where they get it though and what design they would get. Guys look pretty good with them too :slight_smile:

    I haven't got one yet but I am planning on getting one this year maybe for my 19th birthday. I am getting a Butterfly Tattoo on the back of my neck. I can't really explain where I am talking about but it isn't really on the neck it's just below. In the centre of my upper back might be a better description. I'd probably have to show you where i'm talking about though.

    Here is the design I am looking at getting:
    http://www.tattoobite.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/colorful-butterfly-tattoo-design.jpg

    I don't know about it being colorful yet maybe i'll just get it black and white.. But I think it looks beautiful. One of the main reasons I am getting a butterfly tattoo is because of its meaning.

    The key meanings of the butterfly tattoo are: Beauty, Transformation, Immortality, Change, Spirituality, Tranquility and Delicateness. There are more key meanings but those are my favourite. :slight_smile:

    Yeah sleeves are a bit too much.. But to each their own hey! I would still date a girl if she had a sleeve. If they are beautiful to me on the inside then the sleeve tattoos on the outside wont matter! :slight_smile:

    Wow that was a bit much.. But just being honest :slight_smile:

    Love tattoos! I got my first one, a dragon (yay cliches!) on the back of my left shoulder when I was 17. He's my little buddy.

    I have designs for a lot more and after years of shady artists I finally found someone I like. Now it's just a matter of money.

    Really like tattoos on others as long as the art itself is good. I feel sorry for someone who has a crappily done tat - and that's the main reason it's taken me so long to get any others. I'm an art snob :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I'd look through someones portfolio and if there was the tiniest thing that seemed "off" to me, that was it.

    I wouldn't say I find tattoos on dudes sexy. I just think, if they are good tats, then it's just awesome art. I love hearing stories behind bizarre ones. Piercings now... those are sexy as hell. Don't have any myself (not even my ears though I tried a few years ago... it's just not for me) but show me a guy with a bridge, septum and labret piercing and I melt.

    It depends. I like they way some tattoos look on other people, but some people get VERY tacky tattoos. (i.e. your boyfriend/girlfriend's name)

    I don't think I want to get any myself, though. I'd be afraid of getting sick of it, and removing a tattoo is even more painful than getting one. Plus, I'm a HUGE needle-phobe.

    Even if I do get one, it'll have to be something small that I can cover up.

    Yeah, most people who have a lot of tattoos REALLY can't pull it off. :lol:
    I think face tattoos look trashy too.

    That sounds awesome! :grin:
