Tattoos cool or dumb??

I've got 4 so far myself and am getting many many more. Like Mr 5 0 said it is a personal decision and they should have meaning to you. All mine have deep personal mean about me and my life. I took about 10 years thinking about what to start with and how much and where, so they can be easily covered up during certain occasions. But in the end your going to find many pros and cons, but its a decision that only you can make. My only suggestion is to take time to really think about it before doing, never rush into it.

I Have a Maltese cross on the front of each shoulder and a american traditional style on the inside of each forearm. I am working my way to 3/4 sleeves and having most of my back done with a bit more work on my shoulders.

I've got one, you guessed it, USMC, anyway, I still like it ( 2 years running) and don't regret it....yet. I don't plan on getting anymore, not because of pain or anything, just not something I desire to have a lot of. Besides, I have a bad problem of spending money on the car when I get some saved up, I would still be wearing the clothes I had 10 years ago if my wife hadn't forced me to buy new ones, lol. Anyway, good luck either way!

I think they are pretty cool, like others said it should have some meaning. When I think of getting a tattoo, the only reason I can come up with is "its cool art." So far I have none, mostly since I dont want to spend the money. Gotta find a good artist too. Whats your plan, what kind of design and where?
