Lol I changed my mind I want a tattoo like this:

Uh, obviously I wasn't addressing the thread subject and deviating from it.

I was talking to S-Majere and ranting to her about emo people.

I think that's a seperate observation.

Edit/

Beaten to it!

And to SKTH - think carefully why you want that tattoo. I hope it's nothing to do with a band or an image? I've had my share of temptations; from a Green Day tattoo, to an MCR tattoo, to a Final Fantasy tattoo.

Tell yourself you will get this tattoo in two years time. If you feel the same passion for it then, then chances are you can live with it for the rest of your life.

ahh i think i missed that post. nvm then .

anyway im positive that i want this tattoo and i jsut wanted to see what people thhought about it.

Well, I just hope you don't regret it in the future.

And just curious, but where are you actually getting your tattoo?

Hopefully, it's not somewhere visible (i.e. arm, leg, shoulder, or FOREHEAD)

haha no . i thought i posted that.. i guess not. i want it below the bikini line. just for me to see. casue it would be for me and no one else :)

and before i wanted this tattoo i didnt think i would ever get one..

Eh, you probably did post it but I was too lazy to look for it. Haha.

haha so yea and people shouldnt be judhed my a branding... its discrimination.

im a girl and i got my first tattoo for my 14th b-day. my mom took me to get it done. she was all fine and good with me getting it because i got straight A's, but it did change my rep. with the kids at school. everyone thought different of me, and those certain "people" at school that u never want 2 talk 2 actually talk 2 u, and its kinda weird...but on the bright side it was a major convo. starter and i actually made new friends! so you should totally go for it, but you should prolly talk 2 ur parents about it first ^-^

p.s. dont worry about pain. the only time it hurts is when they do the outline, and that barley hurts. when they fill it in, it actually numbs out and kinda feels good. i was really scared when i got it because it was afraid that it was going 2 hurt but now that i know how it feels im actually thinking about getting 1 on my lower back!

This only supports my statement about people judging you.

SO! Please consider the benefits and consequences, I beg of you.

And by you, I mean the original poster if there was ANY confusion.

WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE 18.

The best advice I've ever gotten is to think about what tattoo you want and to wait A WHOLE YEAR. If you really want it EVERY SINGLE DAY and you still want it by the time a year passes by, it will most likely be a tat you will not regret.

I think tattoos look pretty lame in that bikini area. My friend had one done when she was 16, and she ended up trying to scratch it off herself with her NAILS. Do not end up like her.

A good alternative: go to a tanning booth and get one of those "tan tattoos." Those last long, but are still temporary.

I, myself, know what ink I want, but I am still waiting another 5 months before my first one (when I turn 18) and more for the other ones I plan on getting. (I am going to get a small tat behind my ear first.)

Lol how'd you know? Yea, the lead singer from Tokio Hotel has it (the band in my signature) and hes so hot. Although, I always wanted a star somewhere on my lower stomach and the one he has looks really cool. Yeah, I would have to wait a few years until I got it anyway. No way would my mom let me get it there.

You'll probably grow out of the idea in about a year. I did :)

Yeah, I guess its possible but not very likely because I have wanted one of a star for a long time but, I just wasnt sure where I wanted it, and his takes the cake :)

True... that happened with me. Back in my senior year I was gonna get a tat my friend drew up for me (nice gothic/alien-like cross). After highschool I just decided to leave my body as it is.

If I ever get a tattoo it'll be about something I love. Like if I ever make it as a great photographer, or the names of my kids worked into a piece of art. Something special.

It depends on how big and what the tattoo is. I always thought a small tattoo wasn't too out of line. But if they have a whole dragon on their back then yeah...thats something else.

If you want to get one, do it. If you don't like them, don't get one. Simple as that. Why go around preaching it's wrong when so many people like it?

When you have kids, that star won't look as pretty.

I know; it was disgusting. Now her star is f**ked up and she hasn't gotten the surgery to remove it yet. Ew.

damn. thats nasty.. how big was it?

True, but at least I can tell them that it was my choice to get it instead of being pressured into getting it.

i have a tat on my lower back of a playboy bunny and on my hip for 4 stars. honestly... if you want em go for em... but think before u get it done. i love mine. i have nothing to regret about them either. theres nothing wrong w/tattoos at all. it dont mean u have a low self-esteem its just what you prefer.

it depends.

i think that there are a few girls out there that can pull off a tattoo and it look cute.

but most of the time "tramp stamp" is right!

I agree with many people on here,
as long as you get it where it isn't visible with your clothes on,
i think its fine
i say wait though like Michelle,
it's a big decision and it's permanent.
^ that can't be said enough.
