Why do people get Tatoos?

I always wanted one but could never decide what, i am now 33 and have just got it now, i decided to choose the swallow and 3 little stars, my daughter is 14 and a great artist she designed the swallow and the 3 stars , the swallow meaning because home is where i am happiest and the stars represent my three children each in a colour they chose, i had it placed on my upper back near shoulder as i did think how it would look when i age and this for me was the most appropriate place and hopefully it will still look great but you have to live for the now!

Any real tattoo keep could have so much art to choose from it's now not even funny. They are able to additionally draw like mad - so your creativeness is the bounds. Dont get a tramp stamp - all ladies have them. Alternatively get a small piece in your ankle or whatever

Well, when I'm 70 yrs old, I don't think I'll mind much at that point. But we don't get 'em for when we are 70. We get 'em for right now. And we get 'em for the same reason non-inked people come to this section. Because we can.

I got my tattoo on my foot of a butterfly to symbolize a change in life I was going through. I'm always gonna be able to look down at it and remember I can accomplish anything

I like tattoos because its a art. Some just like it because it's "bad ***" or get it to look like a rebel or some nonsense like that.. But honestly it depends on a persons like . I love tattoos not from head to toe, but I really love this amazing art.

I agree, it's kinda odd...

I guess many people want to feel 'different' to others and want to get something that means a lot to them printed onto their skin. That's usually the case. Though some individuals probably do it for attention

i love tattoos of all kinds. and i think there will be alot of badass looking old people walking around in about 50 years.

I get them because I like them no other reason.
