Stories Behind Tattoos
Tattoos…?
I’ve been thinking about getting a tattoo but I don’t exactly know anybody who has one so I was wondering if anyone here could tell me about theirs. Like has anyone you met ever asked you about it (I want to be a teacher so I don’t want it to interfere with me getting a job)? Do you now wish you hadn’t gotten one? Would you get another? Did you have any health risks? Do you want it removed? Do some find it… immature? Are they easily viewed depending on where you have it?
What’s your tattoo of? Did it take long and how long? How much did it cost? How big was/is it? Black and white or colors? Does it hurt more depending on where you got it? Do certain places pose greater health risks? How old were you? Did anyone try to talk you out of it? Did it look like you wanted it to? Pretend I know nothing, about tattoos I mean, which is pretty much the case. Tell me about it. Is there a story behind it?

True story: I always wanted a tattoo. Not a million plastered all over my body, just one awesome tattoo. I was debating over the art and graphics and finally decided on a sun around my belly button. (I was 20 years old).
While I was in the chair, waiting for the guy to set up, I had doubts…I mean, I was going to be a third grade teacher after all (our stories are alike) and the same exact “what if’s” that you are worried about right now were scurrying about my brain, so I sadly packed up and left…without my tattoo.
I left still wanting one…I just didn’t trust myself that in my 20 year-old moment, what I wanted that day would be longlasting. To make it easier for me to deal with not getting it at that split second, I made a deal with myself. If I still wanted one at 30, I would proceed.
Well, today I am 32 and I just got my first (and last) tattoo! After four children, I am SO HAPPY that I did NOT get the original tattoo around my belly button because Lord knows I have no reason to show that off anymore, BUT I did get a tattoo that I will love forever…
My kids’ names on the small of my back in Japanese. I am part Japanese so I wrote it out myself to ensure they got it right. All black except red hearts that separate each name. Time? 20-30 minutes. Cost $100.
There are risks, but if you go to nice clean place, it is fine. I pasted a link below to research things you need to look for when choosing a parlor.
I do not regret it at all.
SO, my answer (sorry so long-winded), once you are SURE what you want, go for it and don’t be afraid to wait for minute or two…your tastes will change and evolve as no doubt you will as a young woman. Maybe you too can set a date for a tattoo when your flirty and thirty! 
Good luck!
