I don't understand how someone can get something PERMANENTLY engraved onto their skin when they are young, thinking that they will always like it or be that person.
Which is why I stated above, people should wait until they are at least 30 y.o. before contemplating getting a tattoo, and never, EVER have someone's name put on! :-P
If I can't settle on a hair color indefinitely, or a lipstick shade, why would I commit to something as permanent as a tattoo?
Which is why I thought long and hard about it before taking the plunge. I bought tattoo mags for months, looking at the different types of work and designs, educating myself on the pros and cons.
When I finally went to the tattoo shop I spent a VERY long time inspecting all of the designs they had available before choosing one I knew I could live with for a lifetime.
Okay, I know someone's going to ask, so what I got was a rose with a lightening bolt thru it, surrounded by a crescent moon and stars. My birthsign is Cancer -- Moonchild -- and my birth flower is Rose, so that's why I went with the design. It's about 2.5-3 inches long, approx. 2 inches wide.
Other than the "fuzziness" that the outline's developed that I described above, the colors are still dark and vibrant, and I've never regretted getting it. :-)
