I personally don't have any as I don't like the idea of having something permanent on my skin. Having said that I find some very good especially if there is a symbolism involved in it.

Love the one Ben Fogle got ecently, a very tiny one on his wrist, which states the height of Everest, which he just climbed !

Tattoos are amazing.....if done well and fit the personality of the wearer.

I say go for it, if you find something that's really YOU. I'm still waiting to find the right one for me.

Nobody can answer this question for you, it has to be your own choice. Personally I like the feeling of being inked, it's a nice sort of pain for me and I love the way a really good tat looks on someone. But the choice as to whether or not YOU should get one cannot be answered by anybody but you

Why would you consider what is fashionable when getting a tattoo?

You need to remember a tattoo is for life so it should be what u want and not wat people like. All my tattoos were well taught and personal to me. So if going ahead get something with meaning and not just a random holiday tattoo

Go and buy a sports car.

At least it's not permanent when you change your mind.

Wait til you’re home. Find a reputable artist and discuss the work more thoroughly . I have lots of large tattoos and took many months/ years deciding what I wanted .

Not as popular as they were in the nineties.

Op, get what you want, and choose wisely, it’s permanent you know.

Why do you need to get a tattoo?

No one can tell you to get a tattoo or not, your body your choice. If you want one and gave a specific design in mind that is personal to you then go for it.

Because I was 16 when I had my first tattoo, didn't think about something meaningful just looked through the books for one I liked and that's how I had all my tattoos. Not had one for over 13 years. If I was to start having them now I'd go for stuff that I'd really thought about and liked. Back then I just kept going to the guy who didn't ask for ID. The majority of stuff around at that time was tribal stuff.

I couldn't have a tattoo on me. I get visually bored quite easily. Also, I jumped on a needle when I was a kid, so I'm not a fan of needles or sharps of any sort.

I have seen some rather nice tattoos, and have no hesitation in complimenting the wearer on their choice of design.

It's just not for me.

I have 2 tats like a previous poster one documents my time spent running around in a green suit play soliders the other has another personal reason.

If you 'have' to get a tat make sure it has meaning to you. Discuss it and dont be scared to tweek the first design if you do t like it

Slough Windsor ish

Asking others is not the way forward... do it for you, have what you want and understand its for life.

I currently have the urge.... its like an addiction. I have 7, longing for another to the point every spare moment is being spent researching images and flash.

I want a lighthouse, on rocks, sea spray, stormy scene....full thigh.

So far the design is around £400... its not a decision im taking lightly.

My next one will be roses round my right ankle as a memorial for my miscarriage. It's possibly tacky to a lot of people but I've been thinking about it for 17 years lol.

Please think about what YOU want before getting one OP. It's your body and your decision.
