Why do people get tattoo?

now you'll are making fun of me? :-(

And what about, "it's not the size of the ship, but the motion of the ocean"? :-P

.22 ??

Is that in the cold :O(

if you like the song, maybe... or if you like the beer, then maybe that ;-)

"Colt45" just curious is ur name a reference to the song??

I have a tattoo on my head written "Hairs"....:(

Miss mimi is correct though, if you're having a tattoo and it on the part where it will have a contact with your bone, ull prolly feel uncomfortable. :/

I have a tattoo as well and planning to get more in the near future. Yes its very uncomfortable during the healing process but if you love what you're doing nothing is really big a deal. :)

Tattoos are a personal thing..Me and my husband both have tattoo's

if tatoos are there to remind of of people,places and events. A'cute case of short term memory loss.

i have my eyebrow pierced for the reason i like it

The most painful part is having the Tattoo removed :O(

The needle and the anesthesia is more painful than the procedure.

and I vowed not to do it again...promise :(

I thought you'd go for s Springbok :O)

This thread should be oooopsed now. It is glorifying an illegal action!

Good Heavens!! are y'all masochist?

I've had an MRI with them, no problems.

mimi.. for medical scanning.. like MRI?

If you avoid bone, you're fine.

Although the tail of my dragon went over my hip and that wasn't bad.

This new one will be on my spine, so I'll let you know how that feels. ;)

I think it all depends on where you're getting it done. The first sitting of mine didn't hurt much, but the second did in some places :-(

Like I said earlier, I heard doing one around the elbow area hurts like a biyatch :-(

It really doesn't hurt. I'm a total wuss with needles and I had no problems with either of my tattoos. The fear of the pain is far worse than the actual pain.

I think some Xanex should help :-P

the guts to get one done....

Took all my strength to have my piercing done....

I want a lion tatooed on my back - as a sign of courage and strength... yes its a bit of a contradiction there... I know!!!

This is what comes up رافعة

My translator just stepped out of the office, but I will PM you if it reads and pronounces right :-)

Scanned by what?

Can you try Jack and tell me if that is accurate Colt :)

I just tried my name on Google translator and it was perfect, so you have another option ;-)

Mimmi I read somewhere that if you have a tattoo that part cannot be scanned..is that true?

wow ... Miss Mimi

scorpio on _______________ would be toooo hot!

I love tats, got a huge one on my arm and will extend it to my shoulder blade when I'm back in the US. I'm also going to get a web done on my elbow... ouch!! :-(, but one of my friends just told me that it meant I did time in the slammer for murder... so still holding on to that thought :-(

I would love to get it on the back of my neck, but I can't really hide it there, so between my shoulder blades.

Miss Mimi where is it gonna be?

Brit I bet its going to be on the forearm?

I like to see multicoloured tatoo on fair skin...

Mimi...I saw your butterfly..:)

some look scary with all those body art...

long back in college...I wanted to get a scorpio (my sign)on my_______________ but now I dont like to get one..

I'm going to have to get the Arabic translation of his name done before I go, because I don't trust someone in the US to translate it properly!

Like :O)

Hubby and I are going to go talk to an artist, but we want something that represents our son. He's a Capricorn, born in the year of the rabbit...so maybe something along those lines.

I found a nice one of the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland, with a clock, and I was thinking we could put the time of his birth and the date on the clock, and then in the rabbits ear put his name in Arabic (since he was born in Dubai).

We could keep the theme for the next babies too.

Do tell. what wil #3 be ?

ultimate fantasy.... yanni Parasailing...

it's not painful! i got one and it i did feel anything honestly. i guess it has to do with how much you can endure :) and oh for me tattoos (the ones i like) are usually words or sentences that are of meaning to me.

I've got two and I'm getting #3 in a couple of weeks when I go to the States. 1 and 2 are just things that I found pretty and appealed to my personality. #3 will commemorate the birth of my son.

I didn't find it overly painful.

I have 4 Tattoos

Each represent phases in my life that I would never wanna go through ever again ... Got a huge dragon on my back to remind me of the time when i got so mad i almost killed someone/ he has been handicaped for life . I take care of him now .. so when i look in the mirror i see these things that would never happen in my life again.

I have 2 tribals on my arms .. one symbolizes my folks and the other symbolizes my past relationship.

I have one on my leg which represents me ... PUNK :D

lol... LP... almost...

There in Bangkok I did my ultimate fantasy....

They kicked you?

I had a dragon done on my chest... on my trip to Bangkok... last year.... just for kicks... ok it was a temporary one....lol

and i am planning to have again soon.

it's a matter of individuality.

it's a choice.

it's freedom and it's art. :-)

I have tattoos.5 of them are meaningful to me.I had them at the age when I didn't have to ask mom if it's ok so it's a sign of freedom for me & gave me the feeling of satisfaction by doing what I love to do regardless of what people might think.No regrets.

It's a need to be individual. Some buy Pink Kias , others get tattoos. I know someone who has an Anchor with a "W" tattooed on his forearm :O)

- in tribute to something/someone

-Rest I guess to chase "Check out my TaToo I am awseome" factor

But why piercings ?

Why do people get their ears pierced?

Why do people wear an abaya?

Because they want to...

why whinge abou it, its individually liked

some called it an art. but for me its just a fascination . when they look someone who is really good with that tattoo they thought also that they would look cool if they'll have one...
