ME!!! Don't think I will ever have one either. Not my style.

I have a small heart with three dangling smaller hearts
on my back shoulder wing. Yes!!!! It hurt!!! No more!!
It represents me and my three children.

Toe rings and anklets?

I met a young man last summer and he had a great tat. It had the MedicAlert symbol and a bummblebee on his wrist. He said he went through 6 braclets in a year (they are expensive) and decide the tattoo would solve his problem!

ditto. GM pierced mine when I was young, didn't have a say-so in it. NO self-inflicted pain for me. :hunf:

I'd rather wear my bracelet.

i get tickled every time i think of the roses tattoed breast that will someday will be the longest stemmed roses in the world.

same here,
i'm allergic to pain :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yep, a feather. Guess I should have gotten a tattoo of a Featherweight instead.

I personally would not ever have one. Of course I am almost 65 and can imagine what they would look like with the wrinkles. LOL

I got one when I turned 50 and plan on getting another one this Sept. when I turn 60. Not sure I will keep up the decade thing. Had wonted one for years but reasoned that if I waited till I was older the tat would still be looking good when I was in my 80's. Oh humming bird is on back left shoulder. thinking of adding a gerber daisy with something quilting related, have a few more months to come up with design.

I have 7,only one is visible unless i wear shorts,which never happens,dont care how hot it is.And I do want a new one that is quilt related,one of these days

I have (3) and I love them. They are a work of art.

Annaquilts, maybe I can start on toes and ankles. Thanks for the idea.

No tatoos...just never liked the idea of putting ink in my skin..only piercing is ears...I guess I just like it simple...nature takes care of the rest of "decorations" on my bod....

yep i have two a small heart and a long tailed butterfly.

Ditto here too! -- No tattoos - only pierced ears!!!

I'm an old broad. When I see young girls with tatoos that are readily visible, and some are huge, I can't help but think someday they will have regrets. Nothing looks so tacky as a huge tatoo in an evening dress.

got first at 16 second at 42 and waiting on my bd to get my kitty one

I remember going a thread like this a while back. I have three pin dot tattoos on my chest. They are markings left from radiation treatments some years ago. I really don't ever want any more!

:thumbup: :D

i've got losts of customjewelry ( in the business for 30 yrs), but wanted a tat since i was 4. my son wanted one at 4 i told him for his 18th, so he got one then. my first was a bumble bee, second was a small heart about 1 1/2" with my son's name and the next will be a cat or paw print about 1 1/2"
no sense in going big. i barted for my first two, making embroidery gifts for the person who did my tats.
i don't want to pay for this one either, and the prices are thru the roof, so i guess i may have to part with a quilt.

I find them facinating but would not put myself thru the pain of getting one. That is why I am not going to have a face lift too LOL Do not ask for pain intentionally.

This was an interesting topic, wow I am amazed at how many quilters have tattoos (women and men), very interesting to read.

When I retired from teaching, I had a tattoo of Garfield climbing up my neck done. I wanted Garfield because he was a monthly bulletin board in my classroom. I get lots of comments. Grandma when are you going to wash your tattoo off??? I love my tattoo and have never been sorry I did it or that I put it where it is never covered.

I love Karen McTavish's tattoos on her arms, from elbow to shoulder, her gorgeous over-the-top feathers!

I know a woman who is in her 60s had all her makeup done by tattooing or "permanent makeup"
lips.blush ,eyeliner and eyebrows
And ill tell you what, looks really good!

I didn't get my first tatto until I was 36 years old not at almost 60 years old I have 14 and counting. Last year I got my Harley wings and a Purple People Eater, as my Harley is purple haze so I named her the Purple People Eater.

I am now looking into one for quilting as I am very addicted and have made over 100 that I can remember I have a page with some of my quilts here on the board.

Wolf Hugs to all

I have one on the back of my left shoulder. I only shows with tank tops. It's of a sprig of dogwood flowers. My DH and I gave each other tattoos for Valentine's Day in 2007. Our first ever, and I was 56 that year!

Who says old dogs.......and all that!! LOL :thumbup:

Barefoot, you have one? Good for you!! Janice

None for me, no way, never :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

no, but I pretended! Daughter has them, so when we came home from Cancun,--told her I got my butt tatooed on the beach!Henna tats are done on the beach(SCARRY) Had her going for a couple of hrs!She really didn't want to see my butt...MOTHERS aren't suppose to do that!! LOL!!

You Rock!!

I don't mind an anchor on a sailor's arm.. or a heart that says "MOM".. or even a butterfly on a young woman's shoulder, but what young people (and some older ones) are doing now just makes me sad.. Thousands of dollars invested and they are ALL over their bodies..

I saw a very pretty and shapely girl just yesterday with both arms, her entire chest down into her cleavage, all of her back as far as I could see, a big ugly vine winding up her leg out of her shoe, and a big round picture of something that looked like a centerpiece with 4th of July stars stuck into it on her upper thigh... She was young, in her 20's, and nice looking.. the tats are nice, smooth and colorful now. but can you just fast forward to when she is in her 60's.. oh my.. That is not going to look like it does now.. I hate to see it.. I will hate to see someone like that when they are in the 60's, 70's and 80's .. especially women (I know, don't yell at me please).

I wish they would stop and think about that.. and the fact that you just don't see anyone with an upper end job, or public figure, or television person looking like that.. Perhaps there are some, but not many.. While what a person looks like may not be the whole story, it is what people see first, and make a first judgement on. I think it behoves everyone to look as presentable as they can. Tattoos all over don't come across to the world like they do to these fad following folks.

I have admired your avatar, too, so thanks for the link!

If the Lord had wanted my body defaced, he would have done it himself. Aging itself seems to be doing a great job. LOL

I have had my eyeliner tattooed on top and bottom lids 2 times-I love it and will have it re-done when this fades too much. I never wear make-up and everyone thinks I'm made up first thing in the morning :)

Absolutely not! No way never!

This Great-Grandma has 1 (a black widow spider) on my right ankle. It was a gift for me from me on my 70th. birthday and I'm pleased with it. I had always wanted one even though DH said "NO WAY" - you know what made up my mind, don't you? That "NO WAY" !!!

My 50th birthday present to myself was a tattoo. One of my students was serving an apprenticeship under a master tattoo artist, that had done my brother's tattoo 30 years ago, so I took my design to the student and he did an amazing job. My son paid for it. I've never regretted it.
