I hear you, I thought long and hard about mine. I guess what's most important (to me at least) is whether or not the tattoo had enough meaning to me to make it worthwhile. I figure, it's on your body, it should mean at least something to you. Most of what I have is related to my family in some form, and so even when I'm 60, my gramma and my best friend and my parents have most likely passed on, they'll always be with me. Can't really regret something like that, you know?
And Happy Birthday, Angela. :)

EXACTLY!!! OMG I LOVE YOU! lol
I've been saying this for soooo long to so many people.
A tattoo has to have some very important and true meaning to myself in order for me to get it.

How I wish I was a tattoo artist. I have not done all my tattoo's, but have done 9 of them. It's fairly easy to do when you use stencil's. Just need to have a steady hand. Also, by doing them to yourself you learn how to judge the depth of the needle by the amount of discomfort (I refuse to say pain) that you recieve. Oh how I wish I was an artist!

You can always get them "re-touched"

I have thought of that, but decided against it because when I did them, they had a meaning to me in a particullar part of my life and by having them touched up would kinda add someone elses feeling into the tat. Hope that made sence.........Even though I wish a profesional would have done them originally they have been a part of me for so long, I dont want to change them.

Yeah, I understand what you're saying.
Its like altering memories, good or bad ... I wouldn't wanna change them.

Yeah, my feet were professionally done, but they aren't the best. I considered having them re-worked by my regular artist, but being as they were my first tattoo and all, I kinda want to keep them as they are. Yes, the art could be better, but they were my first action as a legal adult so iffy work or not, I'm keepin' 'em. :D

UberAlice and Ironhead and two of my favorite people here now. :shock:

I think if I would get a tattoo in the near future it would be a 9/11 tribute.

I spent a giant majority of my life growing up in New York. Sadly, I actually saw the twin towers go down.

If not a 9/11 tribute then a tribute to New York City, for giving so many good times.

UberAlice, what are the tattoos on your feet?

blink, thats a really great idea. when i saw the towers go down (on t.v) i was in health class and i thought it was a movie. i didnt get what was happening until every class dropped the assignment and had us watch the tv. really sad day. id lik to get my hands on bin laden for just 5 min...
