Don't have any - don't want any.
I want one on my foot, a nice flower thing weaving its way round my slender footsies but I know it will look like shite in ten years so won't bother 
I never will get one but respect why others get theirs... I just dont know how they would look on an 80 yr old wrinkly skin 
would like a flower,butterfly somewhere where i can hide it if i want to
In my opinion, the trouble with tattoos is, there are very few that actually look good. For all of the tattoos that I see, I would say that perhaps 5% of them actually look well drawn.
An example of a well done tattoo on a female would be Karly's. The one on her lower back and the three symbols running down her spine. They are well placed, well designed, and they actually look like they belong.
I'm not much of a tattoo person though, I have to admit.

Don't like Lisa's but someone may do
I always wanted a tiny little Woodstock birdie (Snoopy's best mate) on the top of my left boobie when I was younger. But I'm glad I didn't do it now.

Boobie tats are awful. Good to hear that you escaped your youth with your boobies intact.
i have the Foo Fighters logo tattooed on my lower back and for everyone who says oh it will look bad when your old and wrinkly well all of me will look bad when Im old and wrinkly so I dont give a flying fig 
I wanted Made in Manchester like a little trademark stamp on my ass 15 years ago 
Thank god I didn't bother. In the words of a classic, nothing lasts forever, except some stupid desicion made in the moment.

I have a tiny black cat tattoo on my left shoulder which can be covered over by makeup if I need to have it covered over.
I do not like them personally because even the best of them need constant maintenance to keep them looking good. When a lady is in her dotage all these tattoos are going to look sad and cheap. Sorry.
I said in another thread on the matter but dont mind repeating myself... i'm a chatterbox 
I have one tiny little bird with two little hearts trailingon a thread from it's mouth. I had always wanted one and after my husband had a bad accident i took the plunge and had it done while he was still in hospital. It's very discreet...can't be seen unless i'm sunbathing but i really love it.

Same with mine Fookat... my cousin came with me, we were getting it done together....but while i was getting mine she chickened out lol. Then when she seen how much i loved mine she went back the next month and got a tiny devil . Her's is on her shoulder blade though and can be seen.
i have got 2, my sons name above a tiger face on the bottom of my back and a dolphin on the outside of my leg at the top. Never show them off, but love them both. I deliberately got them in 'hidden places' so that when I am all old and saggy I wont have to look at them and think how awful they look 
I shall tattoo you all.
I have a winnie the pooh with 3 balloons with my kids name in them on one shoulder. On the other I have the Tottenham Crest. I got these done as they are something I could never regret. I will always love my children I will never change footie teams. I had them on my shoulders so that they can be seen if I choose to wear something strappy in the summer, but equally, when I am old biddy, they will be covered up. Wouldnt have them somewhere where they would always show as I always think that in years to come there will be a lot of old ladies around, looking very strange with wrinkly tattoos all over their body!!

but Karly has her own name on her lower back, why?

tats on women are ok if done nicely with a nice feminine design. Lisa`s tats looked blured and not really designed or applied well at all.

they look sad and cheap on men too
don't like them much on either sex, bit of a turn off really....
I think they look awful. Why anyone would want to deface their bodies with these ghastly things just baffles me. Especially women! These young girls who plaster themselves in them don't realise how horrid they look, and how much worse they will look when they are 45+.
What makes me laugh, is the middle aged women who suddenly decide to try and look all trendy by having tattooes, and they plaster their arms in them, and look absolutely ridiculous.
When Lisa takes her stuff off and you can see all her tats, she looks absolutely dreadfu! IMO, apart from the ears and through the nose, I think piercings are quite ghastly too. When people have them through the tongue and the lip and the neck and the belly button How COULD they?! YUK!

Round where I live it's the chavs who have them on their arms, and they have their belly buttons pierced - and they just HAVE to show them to everyone! And let's just say these are women who should NOT be showing off their arms and bellies!

Thats what I think too
If I live to be 80-90 I'm sure the last of my concerns will be what my tattoo looks like
I have one of a birdy on my back. I also have my bellybutton pierced.
Never realised I'm a chav

I have 3 tattoos...a tarot style sun on my back between my shoulder blades, a gothic thorny rose on my ankle and a red star on one of my big toes...and as some of you may know I am pierced many times.When I get old I shall look at my piercing holes and my tatt's and think.....Yup, I was young once and boy did I have fun!

ive got loads of piercings and tatts-and i wouldnt have it any different
regardless if youre male or female, if YOU like them, thats all that counts
I love them...especially ickle celtic symbols on your ankle...I think they look particularly devine

I agree.
My Dad has tatts too, so I was always aware that whatever you chose was going to be permanent....so make sure that you chose the RIGHT tatt for you...there's no going back once you've been inked!
I have one on my back to the side of my rib cage, I got it when I was 18 and don't regret it now (im 24), it out of the way should I wish not to show it. It means a great deal to me.
Each to their own I say, some I like on people and others I dont.

I'm not keen really but one has to accept that culture changes over the years.
I have 6 piercings... used to be one more but took that out. I have one lil tattoo.
I'm not a chav!!!

Me and a couple of mates were getting BREW SLAG tattoed along our toes one mashed up evening....luckily I passed out before my turn. I mean, seriously, WTF!?!!?
I prefer piercings
I had my tongue pierced but had a small ball swallowing trauma and it closed within two hours
Now I have a small nose piercing, and would consider other areas
