Q. I would do a tattoo on someone in the Pittsburgh Pa area if it is a quality image if you choose the flash, or I can pick something to do. I have done tattoos in the late 90's but had seven surgeries from a bad car crash, and am doing tattoos again.
A. Coming from a female, I think a small tattoo on one hip would look good
Why is getting a tattoo such an agonising choice?
Q. For the people who actually think about it and not get a tattoo while they are drunk or something and regret it later, why do you think it's such an agonizing choice? Is it because you know it's permanent and it has to mean something?
Yes they have laser tattoo removal now and supposedly wrecking balm but think about how expensive the laser treatment is, some say it's just as expensive if not more so than getting the actual tattoo. So if were going to laser it for sure, what would be the point of getting a tattoo. I personally wouldn't want a huge tattoo or put it somewhere obvious, I just want one or two small, discreet ones.

A. Because it is a big decision! You're permanently scarring your body for life. It is a lifestyle change, especially with larger tattoos. You're immediately a different class of person, in the eyes of some. Things that have been factors in my decisions in the past include -
This will be on show in a wedding dress if I get married, do I really want that? (I came to the conclusion I'd wear a long sleeved high backed dress if I get married!).
This will mean I'll have to wear long sleeves for work on hot days - can I cope with that? (I came to the conclusion that floaty, loose fitting long sleeved tops are just as good at keeping you cool as t-shirts are!).
This will mean I'll never have pure skin again, do I really want that? (I eventually deciphered that this was just cold feet before getting my first, and that inked skin is no less pure than uninked).
This will mean some men would be put off wanting to be with me, would I want that? (I decided that if someone was as shallow to judge me on the surface of my skin, and that much of a prude, I wouldn't want him anyway!).
They will look horrible when I'm an old woman, on wrinkly skin, do I want that? (I came to the conclusion that 1. you don't see many old women walking around flashing their bodies, 2. my skin will be horrible and wrinkly with or without ink, 3. it's only such a weird thought because you don't see many tattooed old women, but by the time I'm old it'll be far more common, 4. even if they end up looking completely crap when I am old, the meaning behind each one of them will still remain in my mind and in my heart, which is more important than the appearance of them to me, and 5. I would prefer to get to my deathbed knowing I have lived my life as I wanted while I was young enough to enjoy it, instead of holding back on doing the things I wanted, because we all die anyway and then we are just bodies in the ground - there is no point to life, we're just here for the duration, so make the most of it while you can).
This will mean that I'll be 'one of them' instead of 'one of us' - is that too much of a lifestyle change? (I decided certainly not and hopped right over to the 'dark side' mwahaha).
All things like that. None of those decisions were made lightly or quickly. Getting tattoos is a big lifestyle change, particularly if you get extensive work. So you just need to take your time with it, dont rush into anything, you have a long life ahead of you.
