    Troy2763 says: Some tattoo's are definitely private Sarah but some are also lovely to see. Depends on what it is.

    suganspyc says: I have two tattoos and one Moko Kauae on my chin it is a tattoo of a sense but is a traditional Maori tattoo with deep spiritual and person family history and status among our culture.

    grandma4 says: I like them but not all over the body,some nicely done artworks are covering peoples arms legs backs etc. I would like to get a small one maybe at the top of my arm or shoulder but i worry about who does it and do they have regulations they have to follow. I also dont know where to start looking.

    blondie72 says: The only difference between people who have tattoos and people who dont have tattoos is that people WITH tattoos don't care if you have tattoos or not. It's a personal choice so none of us should judge. I am 10, 000, 000 times more irritated and offended by the ever growing graffitti that we all have to look at!!

    Mustang17 says: I don't have a problem with most tattoos, our rule with our children who are now 19 and 21 that they must be able to be covered if needed.
    My son has his daughters name and date of birth across his heart which we allowed just before his 18th Birthday as there was no regret in having this tattoo.
    My daughter had a butterfly designed by my son put onto her shoulder blade and she has just had AMORE' tattooed across the back of her neck. She works as a professional in HR and nobody even knows that she has them unless she tells them.

    Ekkaboy says: Fair enough Mustang - I didn't get my first tat til 30, and I have that same rule - I wear them with pride but can cover them for business/work. Many people that know me have no idea I have tatts, but I love 'em.

    I like to see a few tatts on people - don't like the full-sleeve/full-body covers, everything in moderation!!!

    When I was growing up tattoos = criminals, very glad that has changed now.

    Lastcardlouis says: Unfortunately, while the old "tattoos = criminals" rule of thumb no longer applies to everyone with tatts, I reckon it still applies to the criminal classes. In general I don't like tattoos except in a pure traditional context. I see guys and some gals at the gym with tatts that are going to look truly dreadful when they're older. Maybe they're banking on a removal technology that really works...

    lamyaa says: Honstly i dont like tatto's becuase it hide the beauty of our bodies i believe people should just have temporary one because alot of people when they have tatto's they will decide to move them in the future so why not have a temporary one!!! Maybe a small one its okay.

    Lesley says: Tattoos are a very personal thing for me. I have my daughters names surrounded by a rose and a butterfly which symbols my freedom from a bad relationship. I think it's a persons choice to have them and they shouldn't be judged because of them. It doesn't make us bad people because we have them.
