My first one I got for my 18th birthday and only because I had originally wanted to get my eyebrow pierced and my mom said that she would rather me get a tattoo than get anything pierced on my face(weird parent logic there haha) so I said okay! I hadn't even thought about getting a tattoo until she said that. I don't think she thought I would actually take her up on it haha. And from then on I was hooked. Other than my first one, the rest I got while in college and while I thought about placement and what would be okay for the workplace, I didn't let that discourage me from getting what I wanted. And like you mentioned, they can be covered up. And I would rather cover something up for a few hours a day than not get a tattoo that I really want. :) Miss Kristen Darling https://www.blogger.com/profile/00448292788601392113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990390177932332717.post-5990695168695626132014-06-17T18:30:53.367-07:002014-06-17T18:30:53.367-07:00It's surprisingly easy to cover them up, altho...It's surprisingly easy to cover them up, although it can be really annoying to have to do so. The ones of my forearms mean that even in the summer, I have to wear long sleeves for work.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06827840216337511678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990390177932332717.post-82455118644160223502014-06-17T13:37:15.734-07:002014-06-17T13:37:15.734-07:00I can't express how much I love your beginning...I can't express how much I love your beginning statement about tattoos and girls in the city and how someday our kids will just think its a bygone of an era passed. I don't have any tattoos, not because I disapprove or don't want any. It has more to do with the money, placement and decision of which to get. I have since I turned 18 wanted a tattoo for my grandmother who I loved dearly and I came up with the perfect design and everything and Im sure one day I will get it but Im also so indecisive I guess I worry about that and the (somewhat) permanence of tattoos. I also as Im sure some people scoff at worry about placement because of the career I want. While it is becoming more and more common to see people in workplaces of all kinds with tattoos. I still want to be able to conceal them when I want and never want it to stop me from being afforded an opportunity because as sad as it is people still judge.

I consider myself a total wimp, but after a second I just go away in my head somewhere and it doesn't seem that bad. They're definitely not for everyone, though.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06827840216337511678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990390177932332717.post-14753609645763790752014-06-16T23:10:06.678-07:002014-06-16T23:10:06.678-07:00I liked your page.

And at first my mum was the only one commenting on my blog :) She still does, which makes me happy, but it isn't always just her anymore!<br /><br />I imagine that tattoos, like other fashions, will wane for a while, but then they will have had a break and come back to being cool again. It always seems to go like that! (And for the record, I am tattoo-less, and will probably stay that way. I am very fickle, and I don't like pain!)Tanithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09915557658875958630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990390177932332717.post-80039933854125676232014-06-16T17:00:04.351-07:002014-06-16T17:00:04.351-07:00I'm also kind of curious about what's next...I'm also kind of curious about what's next. Will the extreme just keep getting more commonplace, or is it a pendulum that's going to swing the other way? It's kind of hard to predict.<br />And thanks. ;) You picked some really great guest bloggers that I hadn't read before.

I remember when facial piercings, for example, were enough to make a stranger stop and stare at that person (with said piercing or piercings) on the street, but now most folks rarely bat an eye (which is good, of course - we should all have the right to look however we want without being judged and/or heckled for it), even in my relatively small, highly senior citizen populated town. It makes one wonder as well, as time goes on, what other taboos and/or alternative forms of self expression will become yesterday's new, so to speak. <br /><br />♥ Jessica <br /><br />*PS* Thank you very much for all of your great recent comments before, while I was in Van, and today. I truly enjoy hearing from you on any topic. Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.com
