		<description>I just never like tatoos. I mean it may be cool now but when you get older it will be very uncool for sure.

		<description>@Damien: It&#039;s such a big decision to make that you should always make sure the tattoo has some sort of meaning, after all you are with it for life.</description>

		<description>I have one on my right shoulder but I waited until I was 30 to get it.  I think when I was 20 I would have chosen one i didn&#039;t like now because I&#039;ve changed so much.  (39 currently)  oh and my tatt is Wile E Coyote.

		<description>I definitely think tats are mainstream here to stay... there&#039;s a shopping mall near here where I live, and right next to the McDonald&#039;s is a tattoo parlour. I don&#039;t think I&#039;d get one soon though, but I enjoy pasting those temporary Henna tattoos :) Happy Holidays Karen!</description>

		<description>Tattoos are great if they mean something to you. Getting a tattoo just because all your friends have one, or because you want to fit in is the wrong reason. A nice tattoo, done tastefully is very appealing, an ugly tattoo done without cause isn&#039;t. Before I got my tattoos I made sure that they were meaningful and wouldn&#039;t come back to haunt me 10 or 20 years down the road.

		<description>Hey there Karen, 

I don&#039;t think that tattoos are considered taboo anymore.  More and more women have them now so you can say that their mainstream now.  There is only one type of tattoo that I do not like and that is the so called &quot;tramp stamp&quot;.  I don&#039;t know if it&#039;s because of the connotation that comes with it or what but I used to think that most of the tattoos on the lower back were beautiful.  But because of all the negativity around their so called meaning, it&#039;s turned me off to those.  I guess it&#039;s true that a few bad apples will spoil it for the rest.

I love the ones that have meaning to the person.  I have a dragon on my arm.  I&#039;ve always loved dragons and see them as a sign of strength and luck.  No matter what&#039;s going down with me, I know I&#039;ll always have my dragon that will watch my back.  =oD

		<description>I&#039;ve always had this furtive fascination for tattoos!  But they are permanent!  I&#039;ve yet to decide on something I&#039;d ever want to always be on me (although a celtic-themed band does appeal to me!).  Besides, technically, my official religion deems such things forbidden so I wouldn&#039;t be able to flash it around anyway... although if I were to get one it would be in a hidden/discreet place :)
