I have no tattoos as I think that my body is a temple to be presented to the lord upon my death the same as it was on the day I was born. I do have many scars from motorcycle wreaks, burns, mishaps, etc. but these I consider these as life norms.

None! I had more than my share of sharp, pointy things back in 1982 after a three month stint in I.C.U. with encephalitis.

My father was a WWll Navy vet. He had lots of tattos. A knife with a snake wraped around it. An anchor, a pirate lady and others. Back then mostly sailors got them like popey. Never got one when I was younger. Always thought I could be ID if I had one. Now there just to common and socialy acceptable.

Well, I'm only 14 so no tattoos for me. Even when I turn 18 though, I won't be getting one. They aren't for me

Here we go...waaawaaawaa

Don't understand your point. Getting a tat is a choice. I choose not to. Others choose to get them. Of the people who choose to get them, a certain % end up feeling they made a bad choice. My favorite tats to see on people would have to be the facial tat. They get noticed and are really helpful for job interviews.

Not me, if you mean deliberate tattoos.

But I once got eaten alive by red bugs (chiggers) while relic hunting, and it was a dry and dusty summer day. The dust got into the chigger bites, and while I dunno if that caused a sort of a tattoo or not, I have permanent scarring around both ankles as a result.
