I wish I had no tattoos, but I got one back when I thought I was being cool and original.
it's a wolf on my shoulderblade. I got it 11 years ago at age 18. It signifies being a idiotic teenager, I guess. Back then we didn't have myspace to prove it. :)
LOL. That's exactly how I feel about tattoos. I don't have any and I only have my ears piereced and I am 21. I am only one out of 2 girls at my club who doesn't have any.
I think tattoos can be beautiful and artististic (like miss_c's and other's tattoos) but sadly, most tattoos, IMHO, look really messed up. I am not saying that I would never get a tattoo; but I would have to find a gorgeous design and find a good tattoo artist. One girl at my club has really beautiful and unique tattoos down the entire length of her back; but most of the other girl's tattoos are pretty horrible.
I would only want someone as good as the guy on Miami Ink to go anywhere near my skin. Also I am so fickle and change my mind about everything so I don't think I would ever be satisfied.

Do I have any tattoo's?
Nope, only a piercing in my belly. I agree with alot of you, its too permanent for me and I change my mind often almost as much as my shoes. But, I would like to try a henna tattoo. Im thinking of something with butterfly wings and a hot chick in the middle with a one hitter or something. I need to find an artist. Does anyone know how long the henna last and if its even worth it.
Henna doesn't last very long - a few days to a couple of weeks at the most.
You can try it out at home if you want, most indian/asian stores sell henna powder, you just mix it with water.

I'm the most tattooed/pierced girl in my entire club and if I had a dollar for everytime I had to explain these things to co workers dancers and ESPECIALLY customers I wouldn't even have to sell lapdances. Not a day goes by without it.
Just because I have a shitton of crap on me doesn't mean that's the only thing I want to ever fucking talk about. It's my biggest pet peeve in the world and some nights it gets so unbearable.
Although I do find it really neat that you're interested in this stuff. Props to you. But to people like me the tattoo/piercings topic is so old hat. Try to discuss something way more interesting.

For those who have small tattoos - do you ( or have you ever ) used body makeup to conceal them? If so, did doing so effect your sales in any way?

Oh man. I have song lyrics tattooed on my arm--From this Lamb Of God song, Omerta, and it's pretty rough lyrics. It's a blast trying to explain to 60 year old men what it says and why it's there.
I don't regret it. Works well for myself and my crowd and friends and so on... Not so much for the older generation.
I have a huge fish on my arm, also, and men always say "Oh, so you like fish or something??" I'm like... what??

i've got 5 of 'em and they all have meaning to me..
the first one i got was a 69 with cancer written in cursive underneath it on my hip for my zodiac sign..
second was a sparrow my best friend drew and we both got it in the same place (left lower back hip area) but in different colors and it symbolizes graduating and flying off to do our own thing in the world..
third was a set of eyes on my back right below my neck.. this one is probably my favorite.. it is sort of a warning.. even though my back is turned i'm still aware and watching
next was a kiss print on my butt.. means what you would think.. kiss my ass, i don't care
and last but not least is a heart shaped lock on my upper thigh next to my vagina haha.. my boyfriend got the key to it on his chest.. we wanted something to symbolize us without getting names.. symbolizes that my heart is locked and only the one i love has the key to it.. or for the purposes of work i tell the customers that my vagina is locked up and there is no getting into it.. which reminds me.. there was this one guy that came in and was tipping me and looking at my leg funny.. and went i got down on my knees in front of him, he lifted up his shirt and had a key that was in the same style and color as my lock.. it was hilarious:D

Just to share with y'all, I decided to get a new tattoo tommorow. I'm getting a pair of dice (a 3 and a 4 ) on the inside of my ankle. Because of Vegas, and because I believe in taking chances in life...ala the expresison roll the dice.
To answer the covering the tattoos, holy fuck. I worked at VIPS in chicago and we had to cover up our tattoos. Now, my tattooss are black, so the only way to cover them up is to put foundation on and cover it with laytex. All the girls had to do this. Men would always look at it and say,"woah what happened" because I guess it looked like a scar. Ironically, the never noticed the large scar on my inner thigh that I actually do cover with makeup.

Hey where do you guys go to get your hood pierced? And wasn't it kinda embarrasing and what is the pain like? Oh and is there any major risk associated with piercing down there?

I have two. A cross on my lower back, and my boyfriends name tattoed on the back of my neck. (Yes I've heard that this is a bad idea. Its working well for me so far, thank you!!)
This is where my only tat is too. Its my husband's (then b/f) name "Mathew". I'm looking for coverup ideas as we speak. I did a search, and this thread came up, lol
Time to get the fucktard off of my neck, or at least "smothered" to death;D

I have one tat its an arm band its a cheesy basic tribal band with a rose going threw it that i picked out of a book at the tatoos guys place but as genric as it is i LOVE it. I love it becuse its my edge so to speek in my mind becuse i can be all dressed in mommy gear and hanging out with people i don't have much in common with just so the kids can play and have that to remind me and others that i am or have been cool ;) It just suites me perfectly i was like 23 when i got it and i don't think i will get anymore tats but i will never part with the tat i have.

I have 3; one on my right arm which is my name, another on my left which is a chinese symbol, and one on my leg. I put the one on my leg to cover up scars. I love them. Sometimes I wonder what I'd look like without any tattoos;but it's been so long, and I and I don't care because I wouldn't give them up for the world! As a matter of fact, I want more!

and my belly pierced
....
A sun in moon on my lower back when I was 18. My grandmother always used to say "Whenever you miss me look to the sky and I'll be there" So I got it for her one star reps her and the other is my godmother. And for each loved one that passes I'll add a star to it.

A butterfly on fire/and anklet that says "the struggle to survive"
I got it when I was 19... My bf at the time took me to the tattoo shop and was talking to the guy about getting a new one (he had like 20 of them) and then he turned and looked at me and told the guy I'm getting a new one... so I did it.
I got the butterfly first, it's something I used to draw all the time when I was depressed as a teen. Fire represents cleansing and renewal, out of the ashes comes new growth, new thoughts and new ways of being. and it sort of shows that with every struggle that you have in life if you make it though it makes you a better person in the end... it just has a bunch of personal meanings. then I got the anklet about 4 months after the butterfly.. I used to cut my ankle because that way nobody could see it... so it covers up scars from when I was a teen...
it was also really important to me that this piece had no outline holding it in, so there's no black outline on any of if. (it's sort of hard to find somebody willing to tattoo you like that because with some people the color inc leaks if it's not held in with a black outline)

“Tranquil Love” on my right wrist. (yes it looks like lode in this pic =P) it means peaceful love pretty much. I got it when I turned 20 because I was in a relationship that I thought was love but really wasn‘t... pretty much it was to piss off my ex, but it was also cos I love it I donno lol.

then the last one was a crown on my neck when I was 20. I got it because I rule my destiny and everything that goes on around me... it’s a reminder of self control and to use my power wisely and justly.
