I'm not a fan of tattoos on women or men for that matter. Its interesting that the fad has picked back up like it has. Both of my grandfathers had bad tattoos on their arms they had done back in the 1920s and 1930s. As you can imagine by the time I was born they were completely unrecognizeable as to what they once were. Ink fades and spread, sagging skin, wrinkles, etc. All you kids today getting it done have that to look forward to when you are in retirement. A lot of inked up old folks wearing long sleeve shirts in the summertime to hide faded tats. And lets not start about the guys putting the big gauged metal to stretch out their earlobs! I suppose it'll be something nice for their grandchildren to swing around on.

Funny that you said this, my earlobes ARE gauged! They aren't huge or anything just a .2, but I just read that and it made me laugh! People ask me why I did it. The only thing I can ever think of is because I like it, and I've had them done for 10 years.

if you're trying to look worse a tat is a surefire way to help you reach your goal
would you spray graffiti on a picasso or any beautiful painting?

yeah no kidding a guy used to be a rebel when he had a tat but these days every computer nerd and 16 year old girl that got a BMW for her birthday has one

Personally, I am thinking of getting a tattoo on my foot. To be exact, around my ankle and down on the top of my foot, something like this (but only with a Rosary I have at home) [IMG]http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa318/Blondetoes/fc96.jpg[/IMG] I think tatt's can add to the sexyness of a foot, but I would only do it if I were 100% certain it was what I was after. If you really want one, then get one (or two in your case ). I think you have great feet, and adding a tattoo will not change that for me or for Neph (he likes your feet a lot too ). I can't wait to see them for real, if you have them done, if not... well I'll just content myself to looking at your sexy feet as they are. Kisses, Blondi

Hey Eliza - just found this thread and I must say this much Ink is a personal choice and for your own reasons. I did not get mine to impress and wow the masses Mine have meaning to be and that is what counts! When I was 19 I had 7 tumors removed and almost lost my left breast to breast cancer. The pink in my stars represents my "support ribbon" to all the survivors and future victims of this disease.
To each his own and ultimately it is YOU that must wake up each day with your ink.
ps ~ If it is well taken care of - a tat can last for a long time in perfect condition. Besides fading is what touch ups are for

I'm among the ranks of those who don't really care for them, even when they mimic or replace foot jewlery (like toe rings or anklets). A very small tat on the ankle is about the only thing I could probably tolerate, but tolerate is the operative word. As most have said, it distracts from the true beauty of the foot.

Wow that is truly inspirational story. You are awesome Mommie.
I wanted to post this thread just to see what ppl think of them in general. But I am definitely still considering them. How bad did yours hurt?

A punk friend of mine almost 20 years ago seemed to start on this before it went mainstream. He got his nipples pierced (would sometimes wear nails through them) and all kinds of original artwork all over him. Not the little "tribal" stuff every fraternity boy has around his bicep. This guy was really "out there," but wasn't an in your face person to do it to get attention as he was a very personable artistic person. I lost track of that dude along time ago and no one seems to know what became of him.

I think tattoos on feet look fantastic. But you have to plan it out well and research the work of the artist. A good tattoo can look great a bad tattoo can be just a ugly mark.
