Hello Well myself I have four tattoos and you can't see any of them when I wear a t-shirt All of them have a personal meaning to me. I could literally be covered with tattoos since my friend is a tattoo artist,but I learned after having my first tattoo covered up you really need to know what you want where you want it and why. I have no piercings and don't really care to have any. I have wanted a tattoo ever since I was 7 I got my first one at the age of 20. Tattoos are not for everyone It is a personal choice as with anything else and if you are thinking about getting one get all the facts and know for damn sure what you want and how you want it. I have also found getting other tats and trying to get them to blend together later is a pain if you don't have a plan worked out.I can also say I'M NOT A TRENDY ASSHOLE DO WHAT I WANT DO WHAT I FEEL LIKE(OFFSPRING).Hey Cat some people get tattoos to show where they've been or to reflect a little of themselves,like when sailors sail the seven seas they would pierce there ear as a symbol but all the scars you have shown what you been thru and what type of person you are(tough as nails).I do know a women who got tats though to cover up scars she recieved in a car wreck.Metchosin Well you might find this strange but I find stretch marks from giving birth to be very attractive.
