Thread: Would you get a quilt tattoo?

NO WAY :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

ummmmmmmmmmm.........no........lol.

Never!! I've seen people with tatoos who are over the age of 65 and the tatoos look awful. Wrinkled and sagging. Not for me.

While they are not for every one and I have seen many that were off putting to me, I do have one I had done over 12 years ago: special meaning to me and it is not placed "out for display"
I would do another one but only for a very special reason, not just as art - not my thing - but I like this idea

I worked at a Nursing home when I was 18 and saw the older folks there with tatoos..that turned me off...thank goodness...so glad I do not have one.

I would do a feather around my arm but I can't afford it. I got a three inch size tat 30 years ago and it cost $200. What would it cost today? Yikes

It is an art form that people love or hate. I love them.

Very nice machine you got!

never

This from that wise old sage Maxine:

"Do you realize that in about forty years, we'll have millions of old ladies running around with tattoos and pierced navels?" (Now that's scary!)

I think she meant the tatoos were wrinkled and sagging.
