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.

Tattoos are art. If done properly they will not endanger your health. If done improperly you can contract diseases and viruses (such as AIDs). Tattoos are also cultural and a way of self expression. Getting inked just because you want to look cool isn't a good reason to get a tattoo. Tattoos are painful.

I dont have one but I do intend to get one on my upper arm. A japanese symbol about as big as 4 quarters.
