A little late to the party, but I have 11. Movie monsters (Mr Barlow from 'Salems Lot, a Predator, Sheriff Claypool,) mostly, and two dragons. X:III (closest I could get to roman numeral 13 on a digital clock, since I'm a bit of an anachronism.) Star of David, ankh, and a chestpiece from Snow White. Two poems, and Victory Not Vengeance down one arm. :) Next up is an Art Nouveau-style peacock.

I'm pretty late to this post also but I'll post anyway. I don't have any but my wife has 4 or 5. I've always wanted one but I don't know what I want. I've been looking for the right one for a long time, I won't just get anything. However, in the 90's I almost got "anything". Back then I ran on 2 wheels, looked a lot different and ran with a different crowd. I was at a tat party (yep, they exist, ask a biker friend) and consuming my fair share of beer (I wasn't into other stuff, still not), was going to get one, started talking to this older biker, he was making fun of all the idiots getting tats, he had tats but was making fun because most of the people getting and giving were drunk (at least..lol). Anyway, he said one of the smartest things I've ever heard about tats, he said "don't get any you"ll want to show your buddies today, get ones you'll want to show your buddies 40 yrs from now". For that reason I don't have one but I've been looking ever since. I have 2 or 3 that might actually happen in the next couple of years but I'll have to wait and see.

I'm still trying to figure out what I want so hard to decide

Just keep looking but don't just settle either. It will be something you have forever (in theory anyway). When you find the one you want, sit and think it over and make sure that's the one. That's what I've been doing, I don't want any regrets on my first one.

Don't have any. Just because I want one I won't regret 30-40 yrs from now. Though I've got one in mind. I've been raising five kids with my wife. Called Big Bear for various reasons, but mainly it's because I love my kids/family. So I'm thinking of doing the hand prints of my kids with my wife and I in the center. My wife would be the mamma bear and I'd be the grizzly bear with the smiling snarl. Still playing with this idea. People who know me, I'm a gentle person, but once riled or kids being attacked I'm vicious. Lol. Any ideas on this. I'd like to get this done sometime before I die. Lol. Been thinking on this for 11 years now.

I have a phoenix on my left bicep. Someday I'm getting a dragon on the right bicep.

Funny thing is my wife's catholic. The church used to frown upon marking the body. Not sure if still does. I jokingly say to her, I'll be waving to her from the pearly gates.
For some reason she gets upset. It's not like her Mickey Mouse tattoo would send her to hell, but then again, who am I to judge. Lol

I don't have any, and don't want any. I paid heed years ago to the old guys with them and man, they all look pretty nasty when you get old and your skin gets loose and wrinkly. It's going to be a sad time when all those little cuties with their "tramp stamps" on their lower backs and rumps hit their fifties and put on weight, gonna be some ugly sights then!!
