Tatoos

[Grandma Helen]

What do you think of tattoos? Do you have any?

I don't have any and don't plan on ever getting any done.  Main reason is I don't like needles.  If done properly they can be very nice.  Of my four sons three have tatoos.  One only has one, next one is like me, no needles, the next one has a bunch of them, one of which is our last name tatooed his abdomen.  His grandmother asked if he was afraid he'd forget his name.   Youngest has them all over him

I don't have any.  None of my kids have any.  Their dad had an eagle on his upper arm.  4 out of 8 of my grandkids have them and the one with the most is my youngest granddaughter. To each his own...if you like them then go for it

Not me, but if I were to consider one it might be the Chinese character I use as an identifier on this site. It's supposed to represent Mindfulness, but I would make sure of the translation  before I committed it to body ink. My son has some vine designs on his arms.

The only tattoos in our family are worn by my girls. Three of my granddaughters have them. My Katy says she wants one. She doesn't like needles, either...so I doubt she'll go through with it.

Don't have any. My daughters don't have any. Don't think my grandsons have any either...didn't see any when I was down in CA for the wedding. I don't care for needles. Tattoos often interfere with one's professional aspirations, as well, if they are visible.

Years ago, I was caring for a patient who had hurt herself falling off of a bar stool and she needed a pain shot. The target area was tattooed with Harley Davidson. Didn't get a chance to give her another pain shot...might have said Property of Hell's Angels. Still wondering to this day...

I don't and won't but all my kids do (except one daughter-in-law) .

My middle son's wife has a beautiful angel on her back, covers most of it.

To each her/his own, I don't mind them.

I don't have any because I don't like needles. My youngest son has a lot of them. My oldest one only has 1 or 2. I guess I'm the only one in my family that's living that doesn't have any.

I would never get a tattoo, too much pain. But some tattoos are just beautiful, truly works of art. And some...one has to wonder what they were thinking.
