Reminds me of my fiftieth birthday - told my b/f I had to go and do something the day before my party that I had been promising myself. Turned up at the party with a black rose at the top of my arm. He was amazed and concerned that it might have hurt and was saying to everyone that I was so brave. But..... he was the only one who didn't know that it was just one of those transfers - everyone else was in on the joke. It wasn't till the next day when it started to wear off that he realised he had been well and truly had. Think I will stick to the transfers then I can always change my mind! I'm not that brave.

LOL.....I dont have a name for the fairy on my arm but she has red yellow and green butterfly wings and my mate calls her the rasta fairy!!!!

What's his name - the fairy on your left arm? len

I have around 200, but is difficult to count as they all merge in to one mass, ihave them on my chest, Back , legs, Arms, none on neck or face, but do have them on my hands, which i sometimes regret, had my first one at 12, and before i had left school had about 10 including a large tigers head on my chest, certain sports teacher if caught with a tattoo would scrud your arms with red carbolic soap, till they bled in the mid 70s, would get prison if they did that now.

I have a number of tattoos on my arms, but Not in Chinese writing, ,,,,,why put chinese on your body, when nobody knows what it means. I thought the idea was to let people know the true meanings of your tattoos, unless of course, you`re Chinese. lol Baz

I have 2 A bird on my shoulder blade A devil with my 2 childrens name on my stomach and i want 1 on my lower back with mine, my 2 children and my b/f (who is the father of my children) birth signs in Chinese.

I have 4. A Viking on my top left arm. A Wizard on the top of myright arm and the Partick Thistle badge on top of that. Also an Orc at the top of my right chest(that hurt). My partner has 6 and i like them all.

Arms and chest are a mixture of eagles,peacocks,flowers,faces,snakes,swords and names. All done aged 17 to 20 now wish i had,nt. Whoops forgot got sons name added about 15 years ago, dont regret that. Peter

I hate tatoos WITH A VENGEANCE (apologies to all those who have them - but my opinion is that they are disfiguring and ugly - without exception). I was horrified to discover that that my daughter had one done - the minute she reached 18....a horrible black serpent snaking down the middle of her back...if I could have got my hands on that tatooist I'd have had him done for GBH, if the law had allowed). How ridiculous it will look when she is older! And at 23 she regrets it. Ugh!!!! Dee x

i have one tattoo and its on my right shoulder of a bird carrying a banner in its beak. i have my daughters name in it. i only want one more tattoo and that will be when i get round to having another child, just having the same tattoo mirrored onto left shoulder. mine was a belated 21st bday present from my partner (couldnt have it done on my bday due to being pregnant) he wants one aswell with our daughters name on it but hasnt decided what to get yet annie

Shooting stars have always been a significant symbol in my life. I'd like to have a permanent symbol of this on my body. Sometimes there doesn't need to be a reason. I have my tongue pierced just because I wanted and want to. becx

My reason was I was I was 17 and daft, my cousin had a few and I had fallen out with my then boyfriend, felt fed-up and wanted to be silly. I wont do it again lol Marion

out of curiosity, what is the attraction of having a tattoo, please? :) Joy

Many years ago when I joined my first ship, we had a guy who was covered in tattoo's, on a very sensitive part of his frontal anatomy he had a BEE , I asked why a BEE and why there, he answered 'Because like ....... BEE'S is always busy' Len No tattoo's after 24year's service!

I have three, a small frog on top my right arm and a shamrock on top my left, just under this I have a yellow rose with Mum, it was her favourite flower and I had it done not long after she died. I think they are very addictive and know I will have more, would like one with my three sons names in. Beve

I have a rose on one shoulder and a butterfly on the other, both done to cover up both done to cover up the pin and ink tattoos tha i was silly enough to have done when i was fifteen, (i didnt half get a clout of my dad lol ) but now forty years on the colours have faded and they look like old and tired (somewhat like me) and my young grandsons have told me off for drawing on my arms lol , Tina

Hi Emma, mine didn't hurt too much - only the middle one as it was the one on my spine. It just scratched a bit. To be honest I've had 2 children so no other pain can compare to that! Estelle :o)

My husband designed my tattoos

ta paul x

On the wall where hubby used to do it is a sign which says:- the only difference between people with tattoos and people without is that those with them don't mind....... everyones entitled to their own opinion! theres another sign underneath which says 'names in hearts, sure to part' - think before you ink!!
