My tats aren't in highly visible places, but I don't deliberately cover them up at work (beyond, you know, wearing pants).

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Gen-Xer here with no tattoo, either! Although every once in a while, I think I'd love to get one.
The first time I ever saw a woman with a tat was in the mid-80s. I was waiting at the Milwaukee train station to board a train home for a holiday break, and a very professionally-dressed woman was standing next to me, wearing a snazzy business skirt and holding her suit jacket. But, only visible from the side angle I was at, just inside the neckline of her v-neck shirt, I could see part of a rose tattoo on the right side of her sternum. That caught my interest, since I never imagined a businesswoman would have a tattoo!
All I have is a tongue ring but I'm pretty sure I'm getting the Chicago flag on my left bicep done at Jade Dragon next time I'm in town. I haven't decided if I want yellow fringe or not.
Needles? On purpose? No, thank you. I don't even have pierced ears.
I have the one. Once in a while I consider another one, but not enough to really do it.
I don't have any either. Never thought of a good design.
I love this design and wonder if it could be turned into a tattoo: [link]
Working at a university, I see a lot of students with visible tattoos. Upper arm or high on the leg, fine, but wrist, hand and neck tattoos are not good.
And, once again, I have nothing to say except for what I said yesterday:
Shir, I saw that! The Secret Goth Cabal (that doesn't exist) will be contacting you.
Pete doesn't have any tattoos, and doesn't want any. There isn't a piece of artwork he likes well enough that he wants it permanently on his body.
I had tattoo artist friends in college who offered to give me free ones but I couldn't think of anything I wanted to have on myself forever. And thank God for that because anything I'd have put on myself at 20 is not something I think I'd be happy with today.
I will be getting many more, now that my aging body is saying "No, new piercings WILL NOT HEAL". Dangit. I miss my eyebrow ring, and my labret, and my tongue stud, and the idea of getting more rings in my ears. But alas, the healing process has changed as I got older.
Ink, though - just fine. As I slowly save money, I will get *much more ink*.
