Mac errm been in there a few times! lol

As I have said, can hide or show mine

Ok it's on my right shoulder, but small enough to be covered by a t-shirt/wide dress strap, or I can show it

It was something that was personal to me not to flash off to others.

I have one at the bottom of my back................it was a pressie for my OH, no-one see's it unless I have a bikini on..............I'm also thinking about another but as much as I would ove one on my arm at the top I'm holding off having it done as I don't want to be a 70 year old women ( many many many years from now ) with Tat's on show

Muffy

I have had mine 15 year now, never regretted as thought about it for at least 3 years before. But, as stated, check where you want it put. I can either show mine of or hide it. I love mine, but there are some occasions where it's not fitting, so I dress accordingly.

I wouldn't have one, personally, but I think if you're going to have one it should be unique and not a general one that anyone could have.

My dad has a rose tattoed on his arm with the name m*******. this was a woman he was engaged to. They broke up before he met my mum. Fortunately mum has the same name...we joke how he went looking for someone with same name. It's very faded now and looks a bit rubbish, but it's a part of him and a part of his past. Brother has a huge one on his back which will no doubt start to look crap as his body starts to get saggy.

I have always fancied having a butterfly on me bum. But like Maddie says I too have put some weight on lol - have put weight on - pmsl - have always been on the very large side but now even more so! So instead of a petite blue butterfly it would end up looking like some very cold bat on me arse!!!

My f-i-l had one of a beautiful girl and her name when he was a young man. He didn't marry her, or anyone else, till he was 50 and his wife gave him what for forever about it!! Often wonder who the young lady was.

A friend had a very discreet rose on her hip a few years back; didn't look too bad then she had surgery and it disappeared.

Get a fake one, ladies!

I'm with Hayley on this one.

I loathe tattoos and never think they look good on anybody.

Unfortunately I had to have three done in hospital when I had radiotherapy recently. They are only little black dots (look like blackheads ugh!!!!) and I hate them with a vengeance!

I couldn't speak to my daughter for two weeks when she had some horrible serpent tattoo'd on her lower black when she was 18.

She's 26 now, and regretting having it done.

i have a small flower on my lower back, nobody can see it unless i show it to them and i don't regret it, i love it but because of where it is i'm not flashing it at people all the time, but remember they are for life so make sure you really want one before you have it done. x
