Personally I hate the fact that everyone I know and see at school has tattoos... Mind that most surfaces I would want a tattoo on are scarred to hell and back, so it could just be jealousy. But really everyone seems to have them or some kind or piercings and it's kind of irritating since it's more enjoyable when you rarely see them, instead of seeing everyone with some body mod going on.
That said I vote WOW/MOM It would be badass and I'd get that done for my mom.
