Not that it matters, but who's to say you won't integrate the existing tat into a "new and improved" piece of artwork? It could happen ...

I am on the same team as those who want a tattoo, but do not know what to depict.  I just cannot think of anything with that much "meaning" that it deserves a permanant place on my body.

My take on growing old with tattoos is posted on my web sit at http://ta2guy.org/sixty-four.htm. I wrote that several years ago and I agree with it more all the time. I sure won't ever look like every other old bastard! How can I be so sure? Because I am already an old bastard, and Nobody looks like me Now!  And I am certain there is no danger of anyone doing so in the future!

Those of you who wring your hands, whining because you can't decide what to have tattooed on you simply don't know what you want!  You are over-thinking the hell out of it.  Your issue is probably not that you do not know what you want.  Your issue is that you probably really do not want to be tattooed at all, at least at this point in your life.

I know what I am talking about. As I said on my web page http://ta2guy.org/regret.htm, "People frequently ask me if I regret my tattoos. I sure do. I got my first tattoo when I was too damned young to get tattooed. I was only fifty years old, and had only been seriously thinking about getting one for over twenty-five years." 

In case you don't get it, that is satire.  I love every square inch of my ink.  My only regret is that I have run out of room. 

If I still had room for more ink, I would not now be bald by choice, and that would really suck!

Have existing ones touched up and get more.

I will only regret when I run out of canvas to put new art on.  Though I've already had one covered up.  I never regretted getting the original piece, I just wanted a better piece of art in that spot.  I'm hoping to get some money together soon so I can get a tattoo for my newborn son (Chinese-style dragon with his footprint incorporated into it - year of the dragon and all).

Touch ups and reflect on the meaning of each tat I've got;)

No tattoos = No worries
If I would ever get inked, which I doubt, it would be something related to my kids...at least I'll have a greater chance not to regret anything, I hope

I like all of mine which is a total of eight 2 on my chest and 3 on each arm.  Tat's on women which I think have  to worry about that more.  When they get in a nursing home  and if they are on breasts "hang ON'   ;D  I did know a old guy that had a spider tatooed on the glans of his johnson.  He always asked the newbie nurses aids if they would like to see his pet. :*))
