does having tattoos bad?

I don't think It's a good idea, you may regret It and you cannot easily remove It

One can't be a fan of tattoos AND worry about the opinions of others regarding those tattoos. If they're worried about what someone thinks about their tattoo, then they're not ready for a tattoo.

I don't have any tattoos because of my low tolerance for voluntary pain but they're not a big deal to me. As for the possible obstacles the tattoo bearer may have in the future, I think it all depends on where the tattoo is located and what it is.

A butterfly on the buttock is far less problematic than a swastika on the forehead.

I love my tattoo. I got it when I was 42 and the mother of two teenagers. I haven't gone straight to h*** (yet).

But it is on my right shoulder so it wouldn't be seen at a job interview. You can have them placed where they are not obvious to everyone.

However, if you feel they may be "pagan" than don't get one.

Or get a henna tattoo and live on the wild side for a short time period

Everyone and there mom has a tattoo. I think people with out them are now more unique. :rolleyes:

Some folks look good and can pull it off, BUT I'm choosing not to go with the herd on this one.

I personally don't care for them.

Too each his own. You want a tatt? Get a tatt.

My thoughts, though? Tattoos used to be cool. Now 16 year old girls are lit up with them. Kinda takes the baddassness right out of the mix. So, don't get a tatt just because you want one, get one because it means something to you. My opinion. YMWV.

(You know what is badass, though? Rose ^^^^^^^ getting a tattoo at 42. That's awesome.)

I have 2, one on my right lower back and a black cat on my ankle, but they are small and very well done. They are not obnoxious at all. I like my "artwork"

I think having Tattoos is the very bad habit because it causes skin effect and it looks very bad when it will get old.

Here's the deal....
My right leg (calf) is almost cover with tattoo. Why? Because I used to ride in motorcycle wearing only shorts and I had an accident wherein my right calf was badly burned... I have to cover it with tattoo so the scar is perfectly concealed....

I have a few tattoos and I like them.

I don't want them on me. That said, I really don't care if
other people want to get some ink.

All I have to say is choose your tattoos carefully, and if you're
young, you might want to delay it a little.

I wanted tattoos when I was a teenager but I lost interest when
I grew up.

i now a guy who has bucth tattooed on his arm

his nickname is actually butch, but they made a spelling mistake

so get a tatt by all means, but take your dictionary with you

true story

I have tattoos but are not visable unless I take off my shirt. Plan on getting more done before the end of the year.

Never had the urge to get one myself. My fear is that I will get one and then change my mind about wanting that particular design.

When I was in high school girls were just starting to get tats now and again and my mother would rage about them being signals that you are trashy. That stuck in my mind for a lot of years, but with so many people getting them now I think the stigma has totally worn off except in a few very conservative circles. I think if she were alive today and I told her I was going to get one, she'd find it no big deal. Times and customs change. I still never really had an urge to get one though.

Kay,
I was just reading a Harlan Coben book last night called "Live Wire" where the main character did that ... simply changed the name with a Sharpie for each girlfriend.

Clever, but tacky. lol

I think its terrible, you should go smack yourself 200 times for repentance.

I have a symbol on my wrist that represents my past beliefs, that stands for "Man God".

Now its "Gods Man".

Once I put that thing on me, God went on a mission I think to show me that I was NOT my own God...and he could prove it. If I was then I was sure in deep trouble serving such a weak God.

Tattoos are trivial. Paint your whole body, I dont think God cares about such things really, those teachings were for another time, and another culture...when tattos represented something different.

I think the stigma varies from culture to culture, but I dont think universally speaking that God cares either way- Its not a moral thing in and of itself, unless it is to YOU.

(Which in my case it was an intentional rebellion... I did it to prove a point to myself, that I was fully committed to my ideas...they were bad ideas though...and we often announce what we fail to realize, if that makes sense)

Dont sin against your own beliefs that's all I can say. If you do something that YOU think is wrong, then its wrong for you.

I don't think that having a tattoo is a bad idea. Me and my girlfriend have a tattoo with our names and for me it's just our artistic way of expressing our love. But if you are the type of person who's looking for a job but want to have a tattoo, I guess it's better to have it in a part where it's not so obvious maybe at your back will do.

i don't think having a tattoo is bad but the graphics on the tattoo matter since they define you and what you believe in or what you like

In my aspect, having tattoos aren't that bad. For teens this days, it's more like a art to them i guess?

You should be careful where you go to get a tattoo. Don't let a buddy try out his do it yourself tattoo kit!

Well, there is a public opinion that if you have a tatoo, you're some kind of gangster or just a bad guy. I'm not against people having tatoos.

I think God loves His children the same way. Tattooes, clothes, haircuts and so on, these are just human things, they don't matter. What matters are you actions, do good, save people, help people, be good, try not to do bad stuff, try to repair the bad stuff that you've done, that's what's important. A tattoo in the eyes of God is... nothing. I have 2 tatooes, the first tattoo with the initials of my mom and the 2nd one with the initial of my dad. I won't ever regret them.

I personally love Tattoo's, but I don't like how it has become so popular now days.

Nope, I have tattoos in my arms and neck and I don't get the discrimination. It depends on the society. People around the world should be open with tattoos.

Personally I think all tattoos are ugly.

When I was a kid my dad asked me if I was ever going to get tattoos. Without hesitation I said, "NO WAY." He had them up and down both arms.

He looked at me and said, "Good boy. Why not?" I said, "because tattoos make it easier for the cops to find you." Dad just rolled his eyes. He knew right there he was going to have trouble with me.

I think not so bad if here are some but if there are many and many then it can affect anybody.

I have tattoos and each one has a memory for me..

A tattoo is a form of body modification, made by inserting indelible ink into the dermis layer of the skin to change the pigment.

Yeah, For some, Tattoos is a pagan activity while for others it's for recreation activity .
Well I think that, In Today s Modern World, oozing with modern popularity of tattoos, have given immense rise of tattoo enthusiasts.

Tattoos are not just for bikers, prisoners and gang members anymore. Mothers of small children have tattoos, doctors and lawyers and scientists have ink as do college professors, mechanics, artists, homemakers and everyone in between.
Tattoos have become so main stream that several national and international newspapers have regular tattoo and body art sections. As the quality of the art has grown so have its adherents. Many artists are creating museum worthy tattoos. And it seems nearly everyone wants to carry this form of art with them forever.

I have a few tattoos and I like them.

But I also have A son inlaw with gang

looking tattos that have kept him from going

into the air force. so you need to decide for yourself.

A guy goes up to this hot chick and says, "Show me yer boobs and I'll show you my ink. Tit for tat."

One Tattoo is all I'll ever need.

hmmmm!!!!!

This pretty well says it all.

And if he's anything like me, thats probably 100% correct.

People can talk all the shit they want, it doesn't bother me one bit..

But once you try to physically assault me, or anyone/anything I love, we go from a misunderstanding to something else.

Talk is cheap. Actions/body language speaks much louder than "blah blah blah blah" LOL

Trust me tho. Just because someone has a bunch of tattoos, it doesnt mean they are automatically out to try & cause trouble. 99% of the time its the exact opposite.

People with tats dont go out looking for problems. We mind our own business. But if problems should arise, we are more than willing to handle them as needed.. well, most of us.

I can't say that applies to all tatted people, because just look at Justin Bieber (lolzzzzzzz)

I'm not a "bible-thumper" by any stretch.
Nor am I an athiest.
But, I'm pretty sure that tattooing, biblically speaking, is a desecration of the body and
a Christian taboo.

I'm pretty sure that when compared to biblical terms, tattoos are no different from piercings.

So you're telling me that when a mother gets her daughter's ears pierced at age 1 - which keep in mind, the child has NO CONTROL OVER at that age - that it automatically denies her entry from heaven (if there is such a thing) ???

Yea right dude. I refuse to believe that garbage.

Tattoos are art. Your body is a blank canvas. Fill it wisely & always use a professional artist.
