To tattoo or not a sly thing?

I agree with zzzapp. No tats for me but strokes and folks as they say.

I'm a fan of the saying, 'to each is own'.  If you want a tattoo and know what you want, go for it.  The only thing i can't stand is when people pick flash off the wall or out of a book, come up with something unique and that suits you, you'll be much happier and have no regrets about the decision later on down the road.

I only have four tattoos at the moment; got my first a few months after i turned 18 and haven't looked back.  I think i look better with the tattoos than without (kind of like shaving my head vs. thinning hair).  Even though i don't have many yet, when i see the bare skin on myself it looks dull and i start thinking of what i could get there.

As of now i only have pictures of two of them, not even pictures i took, my tattoo artist took them when they were finally completed; its hard to get a good angle to take a picture myself.

The one on my leg is in memory of my mother, picture of when she was younger with an older shot on the other side with her favorite flowers comprising much of the rest of the piece. I kind of freaked out when i first saw the picture of it because it looked like one of her eyes was messed up, but i looked at the picture, and she just had a lazy eye, so i'm grateful the artist was very faithful at recreating her image.  The second is a scene from the exorcist, polar opposites i know lol, its just a scene that sent chills down my spine the first time i saw it.

On the subject of tattoos, I think a few well thought out and placed ones look better than many of the full sleeves I see today, which has become trendy, for now. I think too much of anything takes away from the whole. I guess the most important thing is to find a greart artist that can execute what you want, rather than race down to the local street shop and end up with subpar work.  :D
