h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

You see so many people with tattoos nowadays that it is now more individual not to have one.
I always imagine how in 40 or 50 years time there will be a lot of shrivelled devils, roses and hearts displayed on senior ladies shoulders or bottoms !
Anyone actually pleased they had one done or any horror stories of regret ?

Hi! Welcome to h2g2! This is certainly an interesting topic (not one I have much to contribute to unfortunately), but more people will see it and contribute at <./>askh2g2</.>. Try posting there!

But I don't think that many people have tattoos to be "individual". There are many reasons for wanting a tattoo. I have one and I have never regretted for an instant. I love it.

Tango, plenty of people hang around here.

Not as many as at askh2g2, this is meant to be *about* talking to people, not actually *for* talking to people.

I have regretted being tattood, thet were done many years ago when I was just 18yrs. Later in life after 23yrs. of married life, I was divovced and remarried. Now my present wife hates the sight of my ex wifes name on my arms! All be it they are so worn now you can hardly see the name, I think its the fact that they are there. They were neat at first, having been done at "Pinkies" in Singapore, that was the IN place at the time with us mad sailors?

Hi Smudger ! I re-posted as below if you are interested in more people's opinions ! http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/F19585?thread=237128

Yep! I found it thanks, still feeling my way round here in "cyber world" Reckon I will leave now and let you carry on with your arguement! Catch you Later, Smudger. RN

I have a family friend's horror story. The mother in the family got a rose tattoo. I don't know if the circumstance was caused by a bad tattoo parlour or if all tattoos do this, but at any rate, the tattoo ink gave her blood poisoning that drove her insane and killed her. This is probobly an extreme case but it did happen, and it wreaked horror on family and friends. Needless to say I don't reccomend tattoos.

I don't have a tattoo. Nor am I different
