How can I explain to you the unexplainable? I knew a girl of 17 who for her own reasons..designed an elf girl in chains ..it took her a year to finish..tattoos are imprints..meaningful to the bearer and unexplainable to those who may catch a glimpse of them and wonder...it is not meant for you to see and yet if you do, consider yourself privileged..wonder about it's mystical connection to the bearer..do not allow yourself to dwell on mean themes but instead at least celebrate that in this day and age..the young have the freedom to express themselves and their magic however they choosehttps://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/...20110313201140it's beautiful

I've had tats for about 30 years. They are quite explainable.

Mhmmmm I do.

Nope, no tats.

Several piercings, though.

No tats No piercings...........

Regrets?
 

I always wondered if there would be regret for those who got ink in noticeable places. What are they going to think when they're 50? Well, I just turned 50 and got one on my forearm. Noticeable. I'm not worried about what I'm going to think when I'm 80.

I got a tiny Snoopy on my ankle when I was 18. At this pace, my third will be in a nursing home.

At this rate no-one need worry about what their tats will look like (etc) when they are 80....almost every other 80-year-old will have them too.

Adding " lol": in case anyone again mistakes me for a deep and serious thinker on this topic.

Which, btw, is becoming a serious set of topics...the ownership of one's own skin; the diff between tats and ripped jeans; indelibility; etc

The newer tattoos are something to behold. The artists are really taking it to another level these days. That being said, I enjoy looking at them but would never have one myself. Maybe I'm just too fickle. I know that for some, tattoos help them tell their story. That's one reason I would be reluctant to get inked. I don't necessarily want my narrative spelled out to me or for me. I like a life that's a blank page; dynamic, ever-changing. Just one long shaggy dog story unencumbered by arc or resolution.

I have no regrets at all.

Yup.... each forearm, chest, collarbone, legs

I like them spread out. Do not want sleeves or to have them bunched together.

Tattoo
 

Nope, I dislike them.

One full sleeve and working on finishing my other arm. If I keep going my back will be next. I really want something down my spine but have not found "the one" yet.

Four tattoos. Two at the base of my spine, one on my left shoulder, and one on my shin.

Got my first one about a month ago. It's "Family" in a script with a shaky Ancestry leaf for the dot.

I think about it daily lol

I take notes and save tat ideas on my phone.

I'm actually going to have some work done on my tattoo; hopefully before my birthday next year. I'm going to have something entirely different. It's going to be a heart with barbed wire around it, and maybe a special shade of ruby red for the heart and the blackest ink one can get for the barbed wire.
