I like one or two on guys - i don't like them all down their arms and legs usually cause it seems all cluttered!!

But i don't think i'd ever have the courage to get one done myself!

I love 'em and have 6. If I was a bloke I'd be like Tommy Lee and be covered. They are addictive 'tho

I have one ickle one , but do intend to get another one done. I think you either love em or hate em

I've always toyed with the idea of a small tatoo on my hip/bum area but in the end never got one. I always think i'd regret it in the end so thought its best to leave my skin tatoo free.

As for other people having tatoos ......... i dont mind the odd one but when they are covered in them - turn off!

I have one small rose on my ankle, I've had it for about 6 years. It was meant to be red, but as my fave colour is purple I spent about 5 minutes with the tattoo guy trying to make a nice purply colour that I liked
I want another one on the bottom of my spine or the back of my shoulder, T and I saw some nice ones when we were in LA, including a heart with my name in it - I was thinking about getting T drunk and getting it tattooed on her bum

And how much did we laugh????? I forgot all about that.

I got one done a couple of years ago. Thought about more but was aware that they are addictive so resisted the urge.

I like it.

I sooooo want a pair of wings on my back...but I'm not brave enough
My beloved has <counts> about 14, but none of them visible, not even if he's wearing short sleeves. He hates showing them off, but he has the most gorgeous backpiece, all scrolls and curls...<grr>, wish I was that brave!

I think they're pretty cool, so long as you don't go overboard with them. Less is more as the saying goes. I've always been too chicken to get one done though.

When I was about 18 though, I went with my mate to get his first one done. He came out saying "That was the most painful experience of my life!". I met up with him again about a week later and he'd got another one done! Now he's got about 5! So I can see the adictiveness!

I'd like to... but i hate needles, so i don't think its gonna happen any time soon. Ray's thought about it too, he has lovely arms, so he'd suit one.. if i were brave enough, i'd get something like Tigger, or something that included my kids names..

My brother and sister in law have them and on the whole, i don't mind them at all in moderation, i agree with the general consensus here, loads of them tend to look horrible.

they're cool provided you don' have your body covered in them. i want one but wanna be sure of what to get before getting one, i'm not rushing into it. i'm thinknig susanna hoffs on my shoulder.

I have a tattoo & wanted one for years before I finally took the plunge & had it done in '98. I was really careful about finding a tattooist that had a good reputation & was/am very happy with the result.

I think I haven't had another done because I was told at the time, (& loads of times since), that they are addictive & I would soon be getting another one or two so I resisted that.

I like tattoos on the whole but agree with the general consensus on here that too many is not very nice. I saw a program on the TV where this woman had virtually her whole body covered with them & it looked awful in my opinion.

I love tattoos, some of them can look really nice.

i started designing mine when i was about 7

Haven't had one done yet but will very soon

I think some people can look good with lots but it depends what you have i supose and i always think that what you have done should repesent something

my first one that i shoudl be having in a few weeks is gonna be a little woman on the top of my left arm, she's gonna be a buxom wench/angel/devil type gothy thing

See now I already have 4 and I'm only 17 (got my first at 15 then got addicted) and so many people have said that I'd live to regret them and how silly they're gonna look when I'm an "old" woman. But I love ALL of mine! And I wouldn't change them as not only are they now part of me (couldn't imagine not having them) but I've met so many people through having them, I'm sure all tattooed people would agree, having a tattoo is a great conversation maker

I love tats, me.

For me, it doesn't matter on the number; it's the quality and thought gone into it. Show me someone with 'No Surrender' or a heart with someone's name in it and I'll feel ill. Show me something done by an amateur and I'm not interested. But a body covered in professional tattoos is a work of art, in my less than humble one.

Only have the one at the mo (need to sort that out, maybe at Blackpool...), and I do agree that it should be something that means something to you.

I love 'em, but i'll only have one done when i'm older

I only like one or two really, and i hate great big ones that take up the whole of peoples backs

I rather fancy getting one with a pic of Hello Kitty on it

They don't do anything for me, personally. I'm happy to abstain.

I'm with gobstopper. Don't hold 'em against anyone, but always figured life was painful enough without turning yourself into an etching.

Tatoos are great, can't wait til I'm older enough to get one. I disagree with the whole size thing, I don't think you can really generalize with small = tasteful, big = bad. I've seen some amazing and tasteful big ones and some people really suit being covered in them. Plus those Japanese ones that cover your whole body are amazing. No offense, but I think that a Tigger or Hello Kitty are a lot less tasteful than a well done, but large tat, even it covers your whole back!
