I've never been into the body art thing. I've always felt like tattoos are basically body graffiti. If it's your thing, fine. Personally, I think they're stupid -- the equivalent of carving your initials on the hood of your car. (And what's with those people with giant letters saying "Mustang" or whatnot as windshield stickers or as paint jobs on the side of their cars anyway -- did you forget what you were driving or something and needed it written down??
)
And women with tattoos? Sorry. Anti-sexy. Just get a big, fat tattoo of a tarantula on your face and get it over with.
The only tattoos I've even seen that I didn't find stupid or revolting were the traditional ones worn by some Pacific Islanders.

I think it's curious about tattoos that they never come off. Cause just about anything else you can do to yourself (provided you don't take it too far and sustain permanent injury), alcohol, tobacco, drugs etc. For all of those it will take time but after that time has passed, you are completely clean of it. But the prospect of a tattoo and the concept of forever being closely related just freaks me out a little bit.
It's only a matter of time when I get a tattoo. Was planning to get it for my b-day, but then had to put it off, because you can't allow direct sun on the freshly done tattoo and seeing that I didn't plan to walk all clothed up in the 35°C I postponed it. It won't be visible to people as the place where I'm planning to put is kind of private, since my intention is not to show off with it.
