If you want a tattoo get a tattoo, if you don't then don't, Do it on your own terms, make sure you are sure about it first. Don't get one because everyone else has them, don't get one to be hardcore or to be edge, get one because you have thought about the idea of tattoos and are comfortable in deciding to get one. Don't feel small for not having tattoos, feel tall because you aren't just following and are making up your own mind.

certainly don't get a tattoo because its "in" within the scene. i know alot of people do that with stretched ears and all that. the only thing holding me back with tattoos is regretting it. i change my mind way too often when it comes to things like that.

this is the main reason why I'm 30 and still don't have any tattoo's.

I know alot of guys who have tattoo's that have actually no meaning or purpose behind them. Simply getting them because they look good doesn't seem like a good idea to me at all, I have 2 tattoo's, nothing major. The tattoo's I have were decided on because they have a significant meaning to me and they looked god to me at the time, now they don't so much because I need to have them completed. What I think, is that, if you are gonna get a tattoo, get something that MEANS something aswell as looking good to YOU.

Overall I regret getting any tattoo's at all, and before getting them I put months worth of consideration into them.

mmm well I kinda got a couple in a short period of time, but basically because I got alot of ideas of things I wanted to get.

So far I have:

X on each calf with outline
black cat napping on right side of chest
heart with xxx around it left side of chest
pirate ship outline at the top of my arm which is start of my sleeve :)

I don't really regret getting them but it get's annoying when people ask me "wtf do you have x's on your legs for... do you really like xmen or something". Alot of my friends think I was stupid for getting sxe stuff done but I feel it means alot to me so no regrets there.

Yeah thats the major way I look at it. I mean I have 2 tattoos but I put ALOT of thought into them before I got them. I have a wolf on my leg, but to be honest, i have wanted a wolf tattoo since I was 10 or 11, so I thought about it for almost 6 or 7 years before I actually got it. And my second tattoo is my family crest on my left forearm. That one I spent about 6 months thinking about, then my dad and I went and got matching tattoos, so it was a bonding experience with my dad, and its something that will always be important to me. I would never get a tattoo based on a spur of the moment decision or because I think something looks cool. Thats just the way I look at it.

This is exactly what I was trying to say. Well put.

A matching tattoo with your dad is really awesome, that is something I would like to do.

The Turtles is probably one of the best cartoons ever made in my lifetime. Weren't the HERO Turtles better than the Ninja Turtles though, I can't remember.

The hero turtles were the ninja turtles just renamed and edited for the UK - exactly the same show.
