Sometimes they are personal, just for yourself not a show piece.

Nope! Too permanent! Had a henna one once - lasted 3 1/2 weeks. Was tired of it after 2 weeks! :-)

I do not have a tat, but don't care if others do.

Two of my daughters and their husbands have several. The girls work in professional positions and their work clothes cover them. They show when they wear casual dress.

The only ones that I disapprove of are those young people that put them on necks and faces. I want them to hold responsible jobs in the future and not sure they would pass the HR interview.

I do want people in MI to get tats from my son-in-law and feed his family. LOL He is a very Christian man, but loves his art of tattoos. He runs a very clean shop with no flash, all custom art.

I have a tattoo. My daughter and I got matching ones when she graduated high school. Mine is on the inside of my ankle. Hers in more under her ankle. They are small and tasteful and have a special meaning for us. I am actually contemplating getting another one. Never thought about a quilt tat but it could be very cool.

I have a tat - never again. It hurt way too much. I'm a big baby too.

If I were to get a Quilting Tattoo, the pattern would have to be very artistic and the colours would need to be very vibrant.

Unfortunately, due to my skin tone (I have olive skin) colours do not seem to last well in my tatoos hence, the later two of my tatoos were done strickly in blue/black ink.

That being said, I think a Quilting Tattoo without colour would not look very appealing so I'll likely not get one.

I have four tattoos now and only 1 of the 4 was somewhat painful (it is a celtic knot band around my upper arm - the area on the inside of the upper arm is quite sensitive) but only when the work was being done in that area.
:P :P :P
