Tattoos

I only have 3 tattoos Dakota Diva-(although I do have both my nostrils pierced and wear nosestuds along with my earrings. I don't have my septum pierced though)-, but my mom is like you, she has a large part of her body tattooed.


My sister has been getting more tattoos lately too. What's funny about my sister is she, unlike my mom, is a very conservative person with a conservative husband and conservative child rearing ideas with her two kids, and she is a corporate woman who works in an office, has a typical bob haircut, dresses fairly conservatively, YET, she has all of these tattoos. She has them now on her breasts, upper and lower arms and a few other tattoos. She wears long sleeved shirts or blouses to work so her tattoos aren't visible. She is so different in her lifestyle and views on things than my mom but she may end up with as many tattoos as my mom. Who knows why she likes tattoos? I know one thing though, tattoos are really becoming much more common with women. I see more tattoos on women than on men these days.

You have a small tattoo on your ankle lille? I knew you lived dangerously girl!

I'm too young, and I wouldn't go anywhere that tattoos minors because it's dangerous if they're willing to break the law.

BUT, I MIGHT, when I'm older get a little smiley face and my stylised eye design done somewhere inconspicuous. Maybe. Or a Welsh phrase.

Oh gosh, you don't want my opinion on any of that.

My daughter has some but I don't really like them. And she was underage when she got them and now is not allowed to donate blood. I also am experiencing the skin changes that go along with middle age and I cannot imagine what a tatoo that I got as a youngster would look like now. I am shocked enough at the changes in my face, arms, legs, boobs, and stomach.

Plus, as I think I have stated here before, when I was growing up tatoos were only associated with very undesirable people and I am having a hard time with the paradigm shift from white trash to fashion statement. My problem, I know but there it is.

I have two so far, it's addicting isn't it? I want to get more but I am not sure what I would want.

Look like a biker Erika? Haven't you seen all of the women with tattoos in the world today? All kinds of women have tattoos!
You live in Minnesota. What part of the state? If you live near the Twin Cities there are tattooed women all over the place there! Have you ever been to the Uptown district in south Minneapolis? A woman who isn't tattooed is the exception there!
I live in western Wisconsin in the east suburbs of the Twin Cities so I know about Minnesota, or at least the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.

C'mon lady. It is no longer just biker chicks who have tattoos! All kinds of us women do!
I have one of my tattoos on my upper arm. I often wear short sleeved dresses or shirts. I don't even worry about it! No one has ever said anything negative to me about it. They either compliment me on the design or usually don't say anything about it.
I like my tattoos!

I think tattoos is a personal choice rather than a fashion statement 'cause I know few friends who refuse to get a tattoo at all although they're not conservative people. They just like totally bare skin lol without any adornments. Me, on the other hand, have a inconspicious tattoo that has a personal meaning and sums up who I am rather than choosing some popular design/art that you would regret later on (I've heard stories like that). I think tattoos are cool because they're art but if a person is covered from neck to down with tattoos...that's tad overboard.

Well that's what my sister does, she wears longsleeves in the summer that cover all of the tattoos on her arms. Of course her office is air conditioned so she's comfortable.

Tattooing on women is becoming so common though that it is getting mre and more accepted in all kinds of occupations, just like nosestuds on women are.

Wow Veiled Lady, you really do have alot of tattoos and piercings but I see that around here and there.
