Don't they are ugly on both men and women.

To be honest, I have zero desire to get a tattoo myself.

Having said that, I find tattoos on women to be insanely sexy.

I got my first tatoo after my husband passed as a memorial to him. I went with a friend that got her first as well. My second happened a month ago again when a friend went. Always nice to share the discomfort.? one on my ankle and one on my foot. Once you are there and find the right place you will be ok.

I have many and have no regrets. Each one is a memory of a time and place in my life when I got it. Find an artist that does custom work rather than just picking something out of a book.

Tattoos are intensely personal. Everyone gets them for different reasons. Get what you want.

Just remember it's a permanent choice...and that good tattoos are never cheap, and cheap tattoos are never good. Find yourself a good established artist, check out their portfolio, and make sure they work at a licensed and inspected studio.

Nervous in what aspect? The actual process of getting a tattoo can be nerve wracking, the first time. But it's a temporary pain. The artist doing the work should be on the same page as far as your vision of what it should look like. And finally, don't even consider what others may "think". It's your body, your decision.

I have a small flower on my forearm for the world to see and a full back tattoo for just me...and they are both very personal. So anyone who judges or makes a snap decision about you because of your choice...run away from them... immediately.

I have one. Got it 20 years ago.
Don't regret it at all, but haven't felt the
need to get another.

Pro: Having amazing art applied to your skin as canvas, having an expression of something that have special meaning to you always with you

Con: as have been mentioned, tattoo healing and aftercare can be a pain, especially the itching; allergies, if you are allergic to metals you may want to rethink certain colours (I’m allergic to black, blue, and green)

I’m not sure if the fact that tattoos are addictive is a pro or a con. I have 12 tattoos and I won’t stop until I’m pretty much all covered except for my face.

I love my tats. Tattoos can incredible pieces of art or they can be awful. This is totally one of those times you get what you pay for. An excellent tattoo artist will charge excellent tattoo prices.

Someone will have to explain the pros to me.

Tattoos are a very personal decision. As I work in the medical profession, it is generally frowned upon... and that’s ok, as I’m not a tattoo fan anyway.

Do whatever makes you happy, keep in mind your profession for placement.

I say if you like what you have its cool, i wouldn't recommend ones that are difficult to hide

I have several. Each one has a special meaning to me, and I love all of them, even the very old, faded ones. I will offer a word of advice. If you have one that you want, wait 1 year to see if you still love it. Sometimes fads come and go, and you are glad you didn't get it. Sometimes, it just still seems perfect for what it means to you, so you will still want it.

Im not a fan of women's tattoos in general but I really don't like chest tattoos on women.

I love tattoo's and would love to get one or two or three. My dilemma is that I really don't know what design I would choose. I am going to keep looking though. I like the sound of yours.

I have 6 and I regret only one of them. Which is okay, I will have it covered up soon enough. I recommend getting the drawing/picture of exactly what you want and sitting it out at home and/or work where you can see it a multiple times a day for a couple weeks before deciding on it.

I am a late bloomer to tats, but dove in with both feet, er, arms. My tats are meaningful to me and I love them. I have no regrets.

I have one and I love it - when I was going throuugh a seriously mentally unwell period I burned NO into my arm . it was actually a good cure and worked for a really long time, as it was white and my arms were usually sunburnt brown, so it stood out - then as I got older I got load s of liver spots and it was all gettting obliterated so I had it made into a tattoo. I love it I have a NO to anybody now I only have to glance to the left and my NO is there for me

Pros: They are cool as hell. They are pieces of meaningful art for myself. I have ones as reminders for myself. I’m my own art book. They are unique. I feel more confident with them.

Cons: It costs a lot. People sometimes stare unpleasantly. Upkeep sucks. No swimming or sun on it when its first done. Family/friends may disapprove.

Get one, you live once and they all come with memories about a time in your life

I love ink on women as long as it is done well both technically and artistically. Definitely not something to cheap out on. I'd also suggest a small one with subtle placement first. Then you can see if you like it being done and after. Good luck!

I have one and wish I did not.

Cons.

1. Over time it won't look as sharp as it did when you first got it.
2. If you change your mindset, and old tattoo may become an embarrassment.
3. It is just as, if not more, painful to get it removed as it is to get it.
4. Dirty needles can cause hepatitis, herpes, and/or other diseases.
5. Not everyone who does tattoos are actually good artists.
6. Tattoo ink leaves you vulnerable to problems that have to do with excessive sun exposure.
7. Fads and tastes change. Tattoos may not be "cool" in 10 years.

pros: self expression piece, cool in certain circles, curiosity piece in other. can mask some skin features you dislike in an artistic way.

cons: sun care is critical. Some designs don't age well (may become tacky). Expensive to get, expensive to get rid of. healing can be an issue., there are always risk at breaking skin (minimal if you don't infect easily). intricately small features & design fade or wash out with time.

Mine took forever to heal and I have to wear long sleeves to work everyday.

No real benefit but I like it and plan on finishing now that it's healed.
