I don’t have any tattoos yet, but I’ve always thought about getting one eventually. For me, I feel like tattoos can be such a beautiful way to carry something important with you—something personal that tells a story about who you are or what you’ve gone through. Like, a tattoo could be a reminder of a lesson learned, or a moment that changed everything for you. I think that’s so powerful.

If I did get one, it would have to mean something deep to me, like a symbol of strength or a memory that’s really shaped my life. It’s not just about looking cool, it’s more about connecting with something that represents a part of my soul. I think tattoos can help you express your in a way words sometimes can’t. But I also know it’s something I’d want to think about carefully before actually going for it. It’s not just a decision, it’s a piece of you that stays with you forever. So yeah, it’s definitely something I could see myself doing one day.

I have quite a few, I never liked my body much and I have a history with self harm. When I quit self harming, I hated the parts of my body that were scarred even more than the rest. So I decided to get tattoos to cover my scars so that I can actually like my body, no different than how some people get cosmetic modifications/plastic surgery so that they can like their body. I also really wanted cool tattoos of mythology related designs, so hell, why not? I love my body now. My tattoos are my favourite accessory.

I have 2 tatts because I like tatts , and they are tatts that pretty much represent my life , And I knew I wouldn’t be upset about them in the future. My 1 tatt is of my favorite band of all time , Rush , I was a fan of them since I was 11 years old and they will
Always be my favorite band of all time because their music inspired me big time and I saw them in concert 36 times , to me they are the Gods’ of music , when I started playing bass guitar when I was 11 , Geddy Lee of Rush was a big influence on me. My 2nd tatt is a mid evil time symbol which means power , Majesty and Freedom which another one of my favorite bands uses this symbol to represent them (Dream Theater ) which I met Dream Theater a bunch of times to the point the know who I am , and they are also Rush fans as well. The drummer Mike Portnoy told me my tattoo was better than his lol

I have a large back piece. I got it during my punk rock days after high school when barely anyone had them. I intended to get my whole body done. However, I changed my mind, I don't want anymore. Tattoos are no longer that interesting and no longer represent anti-society to me because literally everyone has one now.

Fashionista Amy · Accepted Answer

I don't have any tattoos at the moment. I've considered it a few times because I appreciate the art and personal expression behind tattoos. Maybe one day I'll find the perfect design that resonates with me enough to make it permanent. For now, I enjoy admiring others' tattoos and the stories they tell. 😊

OneViewpoint · Answer

People think it’s weird that I was career military but have no tattoos. For some reason people just associate tattoos with the military. But the truth is, in the job I was in we were not allowed to have any body markings.

After that, it was never really a thing I even thought about. No desire. I see a lot of people with a crazy mixed up mess of images on their skin and say, “ no thanks”.

And if I were to get tattoos, I’d want there to be some overall plan or theme. Don’t care enough to come up with one.

PeachyPie93 · Answer

I did want a big dragon tattoo on my back when I was younger (since I like dragons and I am born in the year of the dragon) I thought it would look cool but the older I get and the more common I see tattoos they just look trashy to me and make me not want any..

MrOracle · Answer

I don't have any, don't want any, and don't find them attractive on others.

That's not going to make me go out of my way to be mean to anyone, or hassle anyone. Unless someone asked my opinion, they'd likely never know how I felt about it.

When it comes to women in particular, I see women's bodies as a work of art from a master artist. And I see tattoos as freeway graffiti. Michelangelo and di Vinci's works would not be improved with freeway graffiti, but rather quite the opposite - it can only diminish them in my eyes.

People are free to do as they wish, but since you asked for my opinion, you now have it.

Fireguy17 · Answer

I have one, it is high enough that it is under my shirt sleeve.
Some people still do not know I have one.
It's a fire department one, it has where I started, where I am now in rank, and the 2 highest points of flame are for my mom and dad, they have both passed, and the others are for special circumstances like a crap your pants event fire/or on the fire ground, hot saves, things that have special meaning to me over the years for what I have been able to do.
I really need to bring it up to date, but I really don't want someone to furbar it either. So I just leave it as is.

NathanDavis · Answer

I don't have them time ago, I did like the idea of getting one but I just never really got to it, and... nowadays I really don't feel the same about it anymore

katiesmuff · Answer

I do not have any and glad I don't! At one time when in my 20's I was tempted to get one in a very intimate spot and so glad today in the end I didn't do it. Would have been very demeaning for my husband and very embarrassing if my kids would have seen it.

7Phoenix7 · Answer

I don't have any tattoos. The only time I felt like possibly getting one was after I had survived a lot of trauma.

I was thinking to get a Phoenix.. the mythical bird. Because it would metaphorically represent me being broken and dead from trauma, and then coming back alive... stronger. I still have not gone through with it and probably won't, haha.

4ngelic · Answer

i dont have any but i used to want like 2-3 tattoos when i was like 19/20. i wanted two little angel wings on my upper back and a small sad kawai teddy bear or cherub on my upper thigh or arm. as of now i dont want anything, tattoos aren't really part of my aesthetic most of the time. i have those temp stick on tattoos if i ever feel like having one

NoDecision · Answer

I do have a few, but most of the time they are covered. And I have to admit, I'm sorry I got one of them because it had run some and does not look anything like it did right after I got it. You can't even tell what it is now. What I don't want to see on a guy is one like  THIS !

MemeSupreme · Answer

yeah, i got a lot of them all across my body

its therapeutic, i always liked the look of them, some are just meaningful to me, and some others cover a lot of my scars or help distract you from them lol

like here's a before (stencil) and after of one thats meaningful to me. got this a while ago

HawkPerception · Answer

The tattoo I have on my left shoulder is a geometric sun tattoo I designed on AutoCad about 10 ish years back. It symbolizes my name and the lines represent logic for me.

I strongly believe that anyone who gets a tattoo should make the choice to get it after thinking about it hard and making it something symbolic to them.

Shiprex · Answer

I don't have any tattoos but have always wanted one gifted to me. Something someone designs that would be put on my skin as a reminder of what they mean to me. It's not for me to decide because I would change my opinion day by day.

One thought I wanted to do was when I got married, my wife and I would get tattoos instead of rings on our fingers. BUT she bailed on that idea in spite of being an artist. S

So nothing doing for now but I do like them and may one day get one

ProbablyClueless · Answer

I don't have any tattoos right now. I'm thinking about getting some. I sort of held off because I didn't know what direction my career was heading and I didn't want my ink to create problems for me.

Especially since I didn't feel that strongly about getting them.

Anonymous · Answer

When I was younger I wanted to get barbed wire wrapped around my bicep. My father who was a cop always told me that barbed wire on the bicep signifies you've been in prison. I don't know if was telling the truth or if he said that to try to discourage me. I was a punk when I was younger. But either way my arms were always skinny.😂 So I told myself if I ever got muscles worthy of it I'd get that tattoo. Since I never did, I never did.😂 But that is the tattoo I wanted to get story. .

Anitha001 · Answer

I don't have any but I plan to get my left arm covered and on my right tight something that draws the attention down there. why? because it turns me on to think about having tattoos.

Anonymous · Answer

Few things turn me off more on a woman than tattoos. I think it not only makes their beautiful skin look ugly, but it makes them look completely classless and of low intellect.
