tattoos

[Rockstar Haruko]

I used to want a tattoo. I wanted to get a small butterfly, but when I really thought about it I said to myself, it would be permanent. There would be no way of taking it off( except through surgery, but why get the tattoo if you're gonna take it off?). So I would be scarring my skin for life. I don't know. Just the thought of having something unnatural being permanently placed in my skin freaked me out. I won't be getting a tattoo.

I'm not really a fan of tatooing, but sometimes it's fun to look at other people's art. Considering the fact that ink is the 2nd leading cause of Skin Cancer (nice...), I cringe to see some people with their entire upper torsos covered in tatoos. Tatoos on females, if excessive, is a turn off. I don't really have anything against it, just don't get cancer. I think people should try to develop a less carcinogenic substance. Ink is metallic and very very chemically imbalanced. Hell, the fact your body can't purge it is probably not a good sign (It can't purge mercury or lead either :D )...

[color=crimson]I want a tattoo, but the whole "not til your 18" thing is preventing me. I want a dragon or a Kanji symbol. I wanted to do something for my friends, but I don't know anymore. I realize what I would be doing to my skin, but I want something to symbolize me. Tattoos are a great form of art.

[color=violet]Great, now I have this insane urge to chop off my mother-in-law's arms. She has 7 tattoos on both of them.
Tattooing is safe as long as you go to a sanitary place to get them done.
That said here's a picture of my brother's tattoo.[/color]

I have no problems with tattoos, except for when people cover their entire body in them. i've seen 'the lizardman' and that's some scary crap. personally if i ever get one (and i plan on getting one) it will probably be on the upper body. I wouldn't get one on the leg, or forearm. Something that'll cover up easily.
