kinda graphic... don't watch if you don't like needles. Watch if you like real interesting stuff like at the end.

I got my first tatoo a couple of months ago. It was very interesting and didn't hurt too much. It was the itching during healing that was a "pain".

No, didn't lose a bet or anything, just decided to do it. As I told my daughter, it was a cheaper mid-life crisis than a red Corvette and safer than a blonde!

Nine years in the Navy with no tattoos, I am sure not getting one now.

I guess I have just never found any part of me that would be improved with ink... A diet and exercise yes, but ink? No.

Clever poem, c.man. On the vid I noticed that the narrator, Ms. mhfaiivhldsh (that's how I would pronounce it), said that hanging from hooks was spiritual and felt like flyng. That dude didn't look like he was having a spiritual experience. It was more of a, "Look at me. Ain't I cool", to his audience, experience. The back is pretty thick tissue. I'd like to see him being cool by hanging from his chest. Some do it and that would have to be painful ! I believe that in the later case they have to pierce into the muscle to get enough support and avoid tearing - **yikes**!!

I know it's supposed to be "art", but I just don't see it. Never did.

I wanted one when I was in high school (in the early eighties) before they became en vogue. When I got to college I met one to the security guards who was in his sixties who had a woman on his forearm. A tattoo with sagging skin isn’t very appealing.
