  I dont have any tats and cant speak of the pain in getting one. I personally won't considering getting one until I am a lot older, such as in my 70s or 80s when I'm on my final stretch in life. The reason is that my tastes change regularly and what was really cool 5-10 years ago is no irrelevant. But that's just me. I think of the pain and cost to remove them, which I understand is much greater than getting them in the first place.

  Only you can answer that question. Are you willing to part with the time and money necessary for the artwork? Is your reason for getting one just to be part of the crowd? Have you thought of what it will look like in a couple of decades? Is it really worth the pain? Don't get one because somebody else says yes, and don't go without because somebody else says no.

  I have noticed that a few women I have been with who had tats, their skin wasn't soft and smooth in those areas.
  It felt more like leather. I know one lady who had a flower above her breast, well........it's starting to wilt. Not very pretty anymore.

  I can only tell the original poster...NO don't get one. They're (in my opinion) useless and a waste of money and time. As a nudist, I believe we should stay in pure form with our bodies. No tattoos, no piercings and my own natural hair. No 'looks enhancing' plastic surgery either. Enjoy your body as is...you'll be a lot happier.

  I got a tat of my wife thats over my heart. It had degraded and faded. A cover up tat would make it to large and obtrusive in my opinion.
  So this brain child thought I'd have it removed. You think there is some pain getting one? Oh mother of gawd that's pain to new heights !!!!
  I couldn't take it. Year later I tried again and yup I wussed out again after a bit.

  I have 5 tattoos and want more. I love mine and have never had any regrets. If you are sure you want one then go for it. chances are you wont stop at one. My advice is to research the artists and get the best you can afford that does the type of work you are after.

  I have 2 tattoos done by the same artist. I'm in the process of designing my 3rd and will have to travel back to Atlanta to have it done since I trust my tattoo artist up there.

  As for pain; I'll mirror what others have said that it depends on you. Personally I have a high threshold for pain so I barely felt both of mine. In generalities though, sensitive areas and close to the bone will cause the most discomfort during the process. Another thing to consider is how many times the artist is going over the same area. Shading tattoos can cause discomfort because the artist is going over the same area time and time to get the shading right.

  If you want a bright colorful tattoo; be careful with those as they fade in the sun. I've had the one on my back recolored because of too much sun exposure faded it too much.

  If you one, make sure it is somewhere you can easily cover up for work, like on the shoulder. I have nine, and all can easily be covered. As for hurting, the one on my lower leg was the only one that was painful to get.

  Unlike my boys who went and started getting tattooed as soon as they could, 18 legal age in WA. it's not legal for those under the age of 18 there. I didn't get my first tat until I was about 50. Being one that is terrified of needles it was an exercise in strength. My first was a small commitment tat on my chest expressing my devotion to my wife and she got one also. Initially it felt like a thousand bees stinging me as I didn't have much fat where it was put. It took only half an hour to get the tat and afterwards I thought the pain was very tolerable. Since then I have gotten three more and am working on a full sleeve on my right leg, it's about one quarter done and so all the ink is on the upper thigh. Been told as we move down getting the shin inked is going to be the worst. But I thought many years what kind of art on wanted on my skin that I am committed to the completion damn the uncomfortableness of it. I love my ink, was very sure about what I wanted and didn't rush into ink for ink's sake.

  [quote]I'm thinking of getting a tattoo. I've always wanted one, but I'm not one for pain. Should I get one??[/quote] The pain is the least consideration, even though they are sticking needles into you throughout the entire process. A tattoo is for life! So be sure of what you want and where before getting it done. Others have said that if your desire for a tatt lasts for a full 6 months you may as well be committed. I have a small tattoo above my penis, where my pubic hair should be. I chose the location after seeing one when I was young. About 20 to 30 years later I produced a design of the artwork and carried it around on a post-it note in my wallet for about a year before actually getting it done.

  I to was 50 when I got my first tattoo. It is a blue bird on my shoulder. It is reflective of my personality, I am always happy. Disney made a movie called 'Song of the South' and the main song is 'Zippity Doo Da'. A line in it is 'Mr Bluebird on my shoulder'.

  My second tattoo came when I was 57, my mother passed. She had given me a Guardian Angel for my sun-visor in my truck and I had it tattooed over my heart.

  Hi, there,
  May I express what I guess is now a minority position. Dont get a tattoo. The human body is beautiful in and of itself. Plus:
  1. 99% of the tatoos are simply bad art, distasteful, low class, and plain silly (stupid phrases) and weird (guys with who have entire paragraphs or who knows what emblazoned on their chest, back, legs, etc.).
  2. Its a fad that everyone has to do. Be non conformist and dont get a tatoo
  3. Its my understanding that at least 50% of those who get tattoos regret it later on. Then the process to remove is painful, and the your skin is affected and basically ruined after that process.
  Work on making your body as beautiful as it can be. Tattoos only ruin ones body and distracts from the beauty God gave it.
  Thats my take. Thanks for letting me express my thoughts.

  Genesis 1:27 - " So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." Of course, In the eyes of many, He did not do a good job, males and females need more holes in them with silly little ornaments hanging from them. And Gods Image needs many colored childish drawings covering up His flawed creation. And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."

  First of all, tattoos can be addicting. I have ink on my back, ass, shoulder, pubic area and penis. Yes, PENIS. Did they hurt? Absolutely. But obviously not enough pain to make me stop. I love every one of them. Mine are all tribal designs in just black (except the penis has some red highlights). If I'm fully dressed (ugh!) you wouldn't have any idea that I had tattoos. But naked, I think the ink is just something that makes me, ME. Same as being smooth and having piercings. I like the way it looks on ME. So if you want to get a tattoo, do it. Just remember it is permanent.

  I have 9 and am working on #10, each of mine have spiritual significance to me. When I was 18 they were illegal in MA and people would get drunk, drive to RI and get one, and regret it later. I chose to wait. When finally I thought I was moving back to MA where they were still illegal I went into a shop in PDX with a design of a celtic pink triangle, when I was done the woman said 'you'll be back' and I said no way, I waited all these years ...so this is it. Famous last words... LOL! As to the pain, the closer to the bone, the more 'stinging' you will feel. I dont find it very painful and have ink acros my sacral bone and up my spine. If you are so called, GO FOR IT!

  I love the idea of you bird on the shoulder and I loved that film but with the racial connatations connected to Songs of the South, no blue birds on my shoulder but Im sure yours looks and means a lot. Im not judging. Your 2nd sounds lovely though.
