Got one, always wanted one but not that anyone would see when I'm past my sell by date - hence bottom of my back that can be covered on holiday when I'm old and wrinkly by a swimming costume

I just love men with Tattoo's but I did ask my son to think twice before having them. He thought twice and now has three, the last one he had as a 30th birthday present from his wife Dee xx

Original purpose was to help identify bodies of drowned seamen and fishermen. As was the gold earring to pay for cost of burial. I can accept that reason but some men go to extremes and as for the fairer sex - in my opinion, they should stay fair and unmarked.

I have 3. 1 is 2 hearts joined together (that was my first) (right shoulder) My second is the chinese signs for strong woman (or girl power). (almost top of left arm) My third is the name Angel because I loved the name and because I called my 2nd cat that name. (top of left arm) I am looking to have another of a Lilly flower and a picture of my third cat (also called Lilly) probably on my hip as that is where Lilly cat lies every morning before i get up.

I'll stick to the transfers, you can wash them off when you change your mind and they don't hurt a bit either lol Will stop using them when I can't find a patch of unwrinkled skin.
