It's Poll Time
To make this day go faster. Do you have any tattoos? If so, what is it or what are they?

I don't have any either. I'm just not sure what design I could commit to for life.
I'm boring.
Thank you!
I don't have any tattoos due to being scared of the pain. I'm such a wuss! My step-sister is a Tattoo Artist in Florida and has offered to do my first tattoo for free. I just can't do it!

LoL.. Same here. I can't say as I'd never get one, but my reasons for not getting one up until now include:
1. I'm pretty cheap so unless it were free I probably couldn't justify spending money on a tattoo.
2. I can't think of anything I'd want to permanently commit myself to on my body.
3. I've heard it can be quite painful, and I don't think I'm cool with that.
DH has a tattoo however, so I'll answer for him in an effort to keep the board alive! He has a tattoo on his right upper arm/shoulder of angel wings. They almost look like a celtic pattern though. He got it before we met, so about 10 years ago in his early 20's. He says he wishes he wouldn't have gotten it, but I think it looks good.
I just thought of a funny tattoo related story.
So my brother just recently got two more tattoos to go with the two he already has. He got a fairly large cross inked on each arm. Both of the crosses have a space left in them for text of some sort. Apparently my brother got the tattoos "in advance" for when my parents DIE. He plans on devoting one cross to each parent, and having their name and date of death tattooed on his arm.
I have two. This is one of them. It's on the outside of my left foot/ankle. I got it done on our honeymoon in Hawaii.
I have one more black/grey butterfly on the inside of my right ankle.
Ritzy, didn't you mention this recently in another discussion? And don't your parents know about it? Ummm....how do they feel about that?
I have a four leaf clover about five inches below my right hip (on the side of my leg).
I had three best friends all the way from early elementary school through high school & at the end of high school one of them got all of us four leaf clover necklaces (4 leaves to symbolize the four of us). So I took the necklace to one of my friends and he designed the tattoo for me. I figure even if we grow apart (and I have a bit with two of them) that I always wanted to remember that friendship, so I don't think I'll ever regret it.
Here's mine and who knows why I even decided to get it. Got it done on my 21st bday and it was a very impulsive decision. Half the time I forget it's even there since it's easily hidden!

Taking a break from being poked and prodded
I think I did actually. Sorry for being redundant. I blame pregnancy brain. My parents do know about it. Their reactions were so funny. My Mom said to me afterward "I mean, I don't even know how to take that. Is it like "Can't wait for you to die, just waiting for the date" or is it more of a commemoration thing?!"
