I personally would never get tattoos due to the toxicity of the ink which is absorbed in the body.

I Don't Want a Tattoo

I could probably get totally covered and it still wouldn't equal the amount of dye I've put into my hair.

I read a news article a few years ago about a woman who was very into healthy eating, exercising, etc. Then she started having health problems. After various tests it was found her body, especially liver was overloaded with toxins. She couldn’t understand why since she strived to make healthy lifestyle choices. Further testing revealed the toxins were the result of all the tattoos (she had many) and the ink absorbed into her system.
I got my pencil tattoo in second grade, right below my eyebrow. Was horsing around with someone holding a newly sharpened pencil. Took 30 years or so to fade away.
I don't do tattoos, to me the body is good enough without adornment.
A knew a lady who had a tattoo shop, she was covered in wonderful artwork, flowers and gardens, dragons and castles, and a dotted line around her throat with "cut here" above it. To me it spoiled the whole effect

I have zero tattoos and zero plans to get any. I dislike the idea of having any body modification that is permanent or difficult to undo.
I have a memorial to my daughter on my left forearm. It consists of her first name from signature from her driver's license, a dragonfly, and Uruz (ᚢ), which is a Nordic rune.
She and I were going to get tattoos together, but we never had the opportunity. Hers was drawn by her best friend, who is an artist, and is on her headstone.
Mine isn't permanent. It will only last until shortly after I die.
Pain was one of the reasons I went through with it. It was sort of symbolic for me.

Come to think of it, maybe reincarnating with a tattoo could be an identifiable sign of one's previous life!
When I was in my teens, I heard Conan O’Brien or some other talk show host joke that a woman might get a tattoo of a cherub on one of breasts when she is young, and when she becomes an old lady, the cherub will look like a dead bat.
We are in the same boat.

As an artist, I used to think of making drawings kind of like 'tattooing the paper'. And they had a look to them that would have lent themselves to being tattoos. Even many of the objects I made tended to have the look of a tattoo. And if I'd had the money when I was younger, it might have been fun to have some of those drawings tattooed on my body. But it was never to be. Tattoos just weren't such a thing back in the day.
So we are marked, and of the same tribe. Good to meet you my brother.
And man, that was way too close to being a lost eye, yikes.
I've never been an admirer of tattoos, or face jewelry, but I'm not bothered by those that are not too ostentatious. Perhaps some will regret it later if they get too much done, and it often just turns to mush anyway in later life seemingly. I intend to leave my body to medicine so I might have a few 'cut here' ones but in the wrong places (if there are any such).
But what would happen if you had tattoos like that and then put on loads of weight?????
You can't go wrong with traditional American
I think everything would stretch and the tattoos would all look funny
Don't put on loads of weight? I've gained 45lbs over the years and my tats look fine.
Easier said than done!

This reminds me that I forgot two more of my tattoos. (You know you have a lot when you forget the amount haha).
I've got Sailor Jerry flash art tattoos on the tops of my feet. (Minus the words, pictured below).
Not always easy to accomplish...
I've known that some that bulk up over medical reasons(meds or other conditions).
