Saw a post re: tattoos & was just wondering how many people actually have something symbolizing their X's tattooed on them? Had thought about us getting matching tats once. Glad I didn't. Know someone who has his wife's name in VERY LARGE letters on his back and they're headed for divorce. So far, adding "is a whore" is the cheapest alternative but not a good one. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
Have also heard of bullet holes being added to faces. Neither would be good if you have kids!
Have been wanting a new one for a while. Have an angel on my shoulder, think I might add a dove.

Never thought I'd have one, but my wife has several. On our honeymoon I got one on my leg that is very special to me that I relate to us, even though nothing on it is directly associated with her. I feel a sharp pain every time I look at it, or someone calls attention to it. Funny, in marriage you never hold back, because you believe in it, now here I am with a permanent reminder of our failed or failing marriage.

I have 4 tats from when I was in the Army. Never did put my (former) wife's name on any of them. BUTT - believe me, if I had, then you can bet your bottom dollar I would most definitely have had it removed ASAP! And never mind the cost either.
'Nuff said.

LOL...Just last year I got a tattoo that I wanted for years. It is a celtic cross. Inside the circle of the celtic cross, I put the kids firs initial (we have four kids, but lost our second--his initial has angel wings <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> ).
Anyway, in the center, at the intersection of the cross, I put her first initial a "K", it is about 3/8" tall.
Anyone have any ideas what to convert it into?

Depending on the design and lettering style you could connect a backwards K to it and turn it into a more elaborate design or turn it into a saying. The guy who does mine is AWESOME and has done some great cover-ups. If you know any good artists (tattoo or otherwise), see what they can come up with. The angel on my shoulder is for a baby I lost early in pregnancy. It's my memorial and has always made me feel a little better. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> Good luck!

<img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> Why is it people are willing to brand themselves for the sake of LOVE (haha)!! I know people who would never get a tattoo, get one as soon as they are seperated or divorced. There was never any thought to it. My very future X got three and they are all crap. I guess it was his way of rebelling. Like he didn't do that when he left. I don't have a tattoo but have a special one in mind. Just haven't gotten the energy to get one. It is for my 2 kids. They are the only true loves in my life. Good Luck to all of you. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Have not posted in ages but saw this topic and had to type.
A guy I dated off and on for a year just recently met the love of his life (3 weeks ago). They just had tattos done to symbolize their undying love! We were togehter up until the day he met her and not a week before he met her we were sitting together wathing t.v. and there were girls with tats and he said don't ever get a tattoo they are disgusting! Go figure !!

Seems like tattoos & children are the only things permanent - well, death too. But let's not get morbid. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
Read something at the tat parlor once...
"The only difference between those w/ tattoos and those w/o is...
The people w/ tattoos don't care if you don't have any!"

I think tatoos are ridiculous and are defacing to the body we were given.
It makes me crack up everytime I see someone wearing a tank top on a chilly day. I gues they figured they paid for the tatoo(s) so they have to freeze their nuts off just to display them.
As Jeff Foxworthy said, "If you've ever financed a tatoo.....you just might be a redneck.....3 more payment and this son bit@% is mine."
I'm sure I'll offend a lot of you....sorry.

My ex put my name on his arm(not at my request-don't like tatoos)
It probably annoys his new wife though.
