I knew the design you were talking about as soon as I read your first post. I don't see what the big deal is! You said it was going to be small and on the small of your back. Not exacly a place you would have to worry about in a professional environment. I have 3 small tats, none of which are visible wearing casual clothes and I have no regrets. PPl all say you will regret it when you are older...why? will it really matter that much to you as you get gray hair, wrinkled, lose your eyesight/hearing, and get heavier? When I get to that point I really dont think a tattoo, not usually visible in the first place is going to have any impact.

see, mine WOULD be able to be hidden or shown off when ever I wanted. I want it on the small on my back. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/tongue.gif

I could always tell people that it's a cool lookin birthmark... lol

I have one on each shoulder and no lie they felt almost good. Like someone scrathing your back really hard like... (nevermind). Anyway, I say if it makes you happy go your it. Just put some pics of it after you get it hahaha.

I don't wish to belabor the point but I happen to like tattoos on women, when they are small and unobtrusive. I don't find some huge tat up and down a girls arms or across her back especially attractive, but a 2 1/2" tat at the small of your back is certainly not going to be a future problem, as I see it. Again, it's your bod and clearly your decision, but you asked for opinions and I offered mine, for whatever it's worth to you.
No harm in asking for opinions, but I trust you'll do what you want, not what others tell you you 'should' or 'shouldn't' do.

I have one more point to make...

When I'm OLD FAT AND WRINKLY I WONT BE SHOWIN MY BOD OFF!!! http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/tongue.gif

I'm really starting to lean towards it now instead of being undecided... http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif

Hey Jodi,

Looks like your gonna go for it. I have two tats, so be very sure of the design you want. I have one on my ankle and another on my lower back both are representative of my island heritage. Anyway I have no regrets I'm very proud of mine. =D

Like GTGrl00 I have a tat on my lower back- 2 years old and one on my ankle-14 years old. I still love them both and would do it again, (and maybe even another). But that is also because I was absolutely sure about what I wanted and where I wanted them. I agree there are some locations that don't work for various work or personal situations - like skulls around your neck - but if you get it on your lower back, and you are 150% sure of the design - get it!

Also, not to scare you off but the lower back is extremely painful, so be prepared to breath and take breaks. Good Luck...Robin

Well, my stepdaughter(practically) got one on her lower back(I protested!). She turned 18 and could do what she wanted, so the first week after turning 18 she got ocean waves on her lower back. If she did it and didn't complain too much, I don't think it can really be that bad. I think she said it itched some afterwards.

I have to admit though, I've seen some fine looking girls that had them and I have to agree with Godslayr on that one.

<whew> ok cool

I have been in-and-out of tattoo shops wanting to get one.. As soon as I start looking at their "catalogs".... confusion steps in... What on earth can I go for!!! But, stumbling across your article has given me something to think about.
See, if you want to tattoo.. you should go for something that is important to you and/or reflects you... Based on that.. reading your comments, I can positively say.. GO FOR IT!! It ten, twenty years time it would still appeal to you, whilst driving your 2030 Mustang Hovercraft!!(Mustangs Forever) Yes?!

Jodi..

If you want a tattoo..I say go for it!It's a reflection of what you like.

My mother always liked angels so she got a angel tattoo professionally done on the center of her back.

For myself,hehe...I'm too afraid of needles http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif

Why do I always have to be the serious guy in the crowd? I guess if you're counting votes I'm a 'nay'. Much as I like the subject matter I think a tattoo kind of cheapens a woman's appeal. Think it through and do what's right for you.

If you do it (I think you should) you gotta show us a pic!!
Make sure you go to a good tattoo artist because even though it is a simple design I have a friend who had some gothic lines done and they were supposed to be the same on both sides of his back. They don't match at all and it looks terrible.

Spring Break is comin up pretty fast... I gotta decide!!! I think i'm leaning towards 'yes' though...

As for it reflecting who I am... I think it would do a pretty good job http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/tongue.gif I mean I'm known as "PonyGirl" around here!!! Anymore suggestions?

Like I said... it's all about wood. You can't see the small of your back (unless you ar really limber, in that case, hey baby), so you know it's just for other people to see (MMm..hmmm guys). Hehe, don't deny it http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif Don't deny the fact that you know it looks tasty, we all know hehe.

On another note, the only time I think a guy would be ligitimately looking at it for long periods of time would be when you were you know.. doing the nasty doggystyle. Not exactly TV but it's something too look at http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif

I say go for it.. my personal slogan stands:

"Wood is good"
