tattoos, safe or dangerous? kool or not? Options

[starfaerie06]

I just did a search and found that there was no debate about tattoos. So here are my questions for you:

Do you think tattoos are danerous or safe?

Are tattoos kool or not?

Are tattoos painful or pain free?

Do you have any tattoos

If yes: what are they and where are they? So you want more

If no: Do you want any? (what and where)

If you have/got a tattoo would you/will you regret it?

I think tattoos can be dangerous if you go to a tattoo parlor that doesn't have a good reputation and good sterilizing methods, etc.

I think tattoos are awesome

I think the pain level depends on where u get the tattoo.

I don't have any tattoos.

I want 4. an ankh on my arm, angel wings on my back that say "Tamara Elaine Jobes 1986-2004", a shooting star (not sure where), and a faerie on my ankle.

I don't think I'll regret them because I've thought long and hard about this. and I still have another year and a half before I turn 18 and can get them. I'm getting them all in places that are easily covered.

I've thought about getting a tattoo, and I'm going to get one and it's not because it's a 'fashionable' trait or because it's 'cool'. I'm doing it because that's something about me I've always wanted to do. That's the issue when it deals with piercings and tattoos. People tend to do it more frequently when it's considered a trend, and I hate following trends so no lower back or shoulder blade tattoos of angels or butterflies. When I get it, it's going to mean something to me, and only me.

Now, for the questions. Everything you do has a level of danger, so tattoos has it's risks. That's something you face and you accept when you decide on getting a tattoo. It's a law that when getting a tattoo, you physically see the tattooist take out a brand new needle out of the package before starting the procedure. Of course getting a tattoo will hurt. It's a needle going in and out of your body. Your level of tolerance and where the tattoo is placed determines the amount of pain you'll experience. Like, the neck, under the wrists, ankles, lower back have thin amount of muscle/fat and it's on the bone which is more painful than say, on your stomach. I wouldn't regret it as stated before, I'd get it for me and no one else. So, no tattooing my boyfriends name on my ass. And, as of now, I have no tattoos but I do have piercings and that will change shortly.
