I have a tattoo! It is a seagull on my back right shoulder. I was about 27 years old when I got it. I was drinking in the local pub and started to talk with a guy about getting one and the next thing I knew I was at the tattoo parlour. It's not perfect and needs to be colored in. I still like it though.

And ruin perfection? of course I have no tattoos.
 
:blushing: Yes, panther on each arm plus a Celtic knot.

I guess it (would) be a shame to have to shave some of that fur.
 
Not so far. I have considered it but never had the money. I've drawn some designs but am not so happy with them yet. Haven't drawn anything in years now though.
 
No I don't. I have nothing against them as long as they are tasteful but I have never been able to think of something I want bad enough that I would want it on me forever. I may get one someday or I may never get one, just one of those things. I'm to indecisive so I probably never will haha.
 
A castle, I was an army engineer for a bunch of years...Thinking about adding to the collection, but not sure what to get.

That's an interesting one. My best friend was a Corpsman and got a caduceus.
 
A tattoo is meant to recognize my body if too mutilated at war. I am peaceful.

My bad. :redface:

I should make it clear that, I know more than one girl with a very nice tattoo. I just don't feel like having one myself, one of the reasons being the historical context.
