Tattoos dont make a person low class, thats like saying scars, or deformaties make a person. If I wish to pay a tribute to someone in a classy tattoo, that does not make me a low class person I didn't say that tatoos make a person low class; I said that was my perception of WOMEN who get tattoos when I was growing up. Scars and deformities can't be helped. Tattoos are optional. When I was growing up, only a certain type of woman went and got a tattoo. I know it is different now but it's one of those things from childhood - I would never get a tattoo for that reason.

thats right, mark yourself up, I think its a sign of problems expressing your self, and being happy with who you are, I havent seen any I want on me from now on, anyway, its up to the person I guess , that's a bit judgmental for those who just enjoy making a statement .. geesh just saw your other comments .. a bit redeemed

no..when I grew up only low class women got tatoos. My daughter has one and I am not happy about it. My son just got one a couple weeks ago.. he's 14! His dad let him get one while on vacation in FL. Was I called to get consent (I'm the custodial parent).. hell no! If he wanted to get one fine but he could have waited till he was 18....

I have 5 and can't wait to get another one. My favorite is the one of my children's names in the shape of footprints. All of my tats have a reason as well. I used to say that I would never get one and that they were tacky. Well, for my 27th birthday, a friend of mine bought my first one and I was hooked. I got 4 more in 2 and a half years, and more are planned. Everyone has a way of expressing themselves, and this is mine.

i have three so far but want more my son wants some but i told him 18 that way he doesnt come home with something he will regret later..hes got three years. to me tats are art and a form of expresstion its fun to walk up to someone and ask to see their tats and 9 times outta 10 they will be more then willing to show you and then tell you their story. great convo starters too.

When I was growing up, only low class women got tattoos. Where in that statement did I say anything about you or people who get tattoos? I was talking about myself and the way I grew up. Did you not ask in your OP if people were against tattoos? I thought I was allowed to share my experience and my perception. I judged no one.

I was talking about why a tattoo is not right for me; because in my mind it is ingrained that only low class women get them. I know times have changed and I am not talking about women today who get tattoos..I am talking about what goes on in the dark recesses of my mind.
