I don't think I'd get a quilt tatto, but I would and am thinking of getting an ambigram tat with my late DH name and my name. My oldest DD got one on her wrist that says love and faith.

To each his own. I never cared for tatoos.

I do not have any. I think I'd like a small one to honor my mother but my DH is totally against me getting one,so I won't. Both my grown kids have some. I've seen some really nice ones. I don't think people should be judged for having them (or for not having them).

I have one, and quite frankly I don't care what others think of it. It's mine, on my body, and those that disapprove I think less of them for that. What business is it of others what you do to your body.
Society had better adjust. The younger generation is pushing that envelope daily and too many people are hung up on external vs internal.

btw..I'm 54 and had it put over my right top shoulder, if it sags....I've led a good life, let it sag baby...right along with the rest of me.

It's something I wanted and I didn't let others dictate what I could or couldn't do with my life.

Everyone has their own opinions about tattoos. My mom didn't want me to get a tattoo(and NOBODY in my family had them), but the minute I turned 18, I went out and got a huge tribal tattoo on my leg...then a couple more. My family still loves me for who I am. :) I am 32 right now and I still don't regret having them. My sewing machine doesn't mind them either. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Heck no, my brother got hepatitis from getting a tattoo. Granted it was years ago when they were not as careful as they are today but still. After 20 or so years it contributed to him having a liver transplant, so no, I will not be getting any tattoos.
