I have a ladybug on my big toe. Tats on your toes fade sooooo quickly because the skin is renewing faster on toes and fingers than everywhere else. It's so faded now (12 years later) that you can barely even see it.

Never even considered one! I have seen some that are beautiful, like my nephew, his is praying hands with beads between the fingers, cross wrapped with the purple scarf around it and clouds in the background. Now that was breath taking!

I have never wanted to have one, because one day I would get tired of it and I wouldn't want to be left with scars to get it removed. Beside all that, I would not trust a needle going in my body from a stranger. Just how sterile is that person's equipment?

Thumbs up though to all of you who have a tat that is beautiful and meaningful. :thumbup:

lol, a tattoo at 62, I don't think so! I can just see that quilt getting crinkley and crinkley ( or is that wrinkly and wrinkly) with age! Of course some would say that is it's sign of age!

Love that machine but it looks too painful LOL

they aren't too bad unless you get it where the skin stretches over a bone.

I agree with you. I've seen some aged tats, and they sure don't look like what they did when first gotten. LOL
