There are several vendors I won't watch because of how they look!

I judge based on how they do their job, not how they look. Life is a lot more fun without judgement.

I have a total of 10 tattoos, but you'd never see any of them unless I wanted you to.

They are all still vibrant colors and have a lot of meaning to me and me only.

Most people who get tattoos don't really care what 'others' think, they do them for themselves.

BTW, I'm 71 and no.....none of them are to my knees, LOL!

ETA: I must admit this is the first time I've heard of anyone being "REPULSED" by tatts!

LOL! Such a strong emotion to tie to something someone else does and is really none of your business!

My last one was when my brother committed suicide a few years ago and I tatted his name on the inside of my wrist, where I can see it everyday.

So, I guess I'll just keep on repulsing, LOL!

Perfect! I'm just a year behind you and got my first tat at 65. I find tats interesting.

My brother died and I have his fingerprints. I want to get one tattooed on the inside of my wrist.

I don't care what others think. It's none of their business anyway.

I don't happen to have any because I hate needles and avoid if at all possible, but I wish I didn'thave such a fear. I have seen such beautiful ones and other than on the face they don't bother me.

It's special that yours are so meaningful to you, and you still enjoy them. I bet they are beautiful. Maybe some day I'll get my shamrock.

@mspatmac

When you're ready to get your shamrock, you'll know!

Make a rough sketch of the way you want the shamrock to look, so your artist can finalize their pattern, it's helpful.

One of my most special ones is my DD's signature (at the time) and I had it tattooed across an open heart. It's on my back shoulder, easily covered with a blouse, if I want to.
